I'm not the one suddenly using the term kit or pitch after watching exactly two games. I'm not the one trying to follow something dumb because people playing kickball have my country's flag on it.

90% of the country isn't pretending to give a shite about anything if they don't really care. It's like The Master's in golf. A larger portion of the country watch that tournament than watch any non-major throughout the rest of the year. Doesn't mean they don't care about The Master's. They do.

The Masters


Is watched because it's the TFM thing to do.


I can't watch golf. No matter what major it is.

I can't watch tennis unless it's a match that actually matters.

So, about one or two a year.

How about you let grown men say and watch what the frick they want to while none of them are giving a shite whether you join them or not?

Why are you even talking about this if you don't like it? I'm trying to understand your angle.

Clearly not an American citizen, probably a paid Italian troll.

In all seriousness, there seems this necessity to try and block Soccer from ever getting big in America. I have friends on my list who are the exact same way -- can't shut the frick up about it but seem to hate it.

It's absurd how much press this joke of a sport gets every four years just because of the US patches on our shitty team. It's absurd that being a soccer fan is suddenly "cool" and I can't get a CWS game turned on at a bar because some microbrew drinking counts with ironic mustaches that haven't ever played a sport in their lives were suddenly so invested in soccer.


It's annoying that people are pretending to watch this sport, but as soon as the US loses it'll all die back down.

Find some way to deal with yourself. None of the rest of us give a shite about what you're feeling.

The same way all soccer works. The team that takes the most cock daily wins.

Thanks

Reb, do these fools actually know anything about soccer or are they just arguing because they have ironic mustaches and wear skinny jeans?

You have to deal with it once every four years for shite's sake. You've probably had marriages that lasted shorter than that. Deal with it.

I've only been married once and still am.


I guess you're too busy making up your next bs thread to pay attention though.

Check Twitter, ESPN tried to pass off a Blackhawks rally as a soccer watch party earlier.
