You’re from Oklahoma, so not surprising.

Although I’m a UGA alumnus and currently live in Atlanta, my hometown is Annapolis, Maryland and us east coasters are interested in lots of things.

Funny that Utah has managed to land a MLS team and Oklahoma hasn’t. Even still, don’t you support USMNT?

I had to look that up.

We are getting USL whatever that is. I dont follow it and never liked it.
I was in Barcelona back in 2012 and turned down free transportation and tickets to watch one of their matches when they were #1 or #2.. Closest I'll get to soccer is Ted Lasso.

Never a fan of Soccer…but I really enjoyed all of the visiting international Soccer fans for a hot-minute this summer while here in the USA and losing their shite over the Waffle House/Buccee’s/Cracker Barrel “Americana- Experience”.

Enjoyed the shite out of the fact that the Scotland fans managed to drink Boston entirely dry within 48 hours of their collective arrival.

OKC United is going to be great addition to soccer. Looking forward to them.

As for the USMNT, we beat Mexico this past Saturday 3-0. We haven’t beaten Mexico in I don’t know how many matches. We play Canada tomorrow night. And a good storyline there if you look up Canada’s head coach.

So, sure, we can beat each other over the head in College football. But there are other things out there.

Pulling for you guys in the Red River Shootout, btw.

Considering there is an entire Soccer board, that would be a yes.

Y’all hosted a match between Argentina and Iceland at Jordan-Hare immediately preceding the World Cup. That was cool of cool. There’s some nice videos of Auburn welcoming the world. Good stuff.

I dont knock anyone for liking soccer it's just never interested me. I watched cricket when I was working down in Australia thinking I might like it but nope.

Yeah, the international “Football” community likes to roll their eyes & condescendingly mock our “cute” version of “American Football”…but we put on a pretty good show for ‘em in Jordan Hare.

We had our Eagle do it’s pre-game thing…

…circle in flight around the field a few times, get the crowd into a frenzy…and swiftly swoop down, strike, eviscerate, and devour a small rodent at mid-field

At least for moment, those bastards weren’t REMOTELY mocking or condescending about our “cute” version of “American Football” when the War-Damn-Eagle feasted on fresh prey just before the the “Footballers” took to the “Pitch” on a balmy summer night in The Loveliest Village On The Plains

Ok, so don’t Auburn too much. Fútbol is the most popular sport on the planet regardless of race, economic status, religion. That’s just a fact. [

I don’t think it was a show. I just think Auburn did a damn good job hosting people. That’s not surprising.

My son played for 11 or 12 years.

But no, I don't enjoy it.

I don't enjoy it enough to follow it, but I did enjoy the World Cup. Even took my son to Auburn to see Messi.

Same here. Years ago I selected Aston Villa as my team, but really can just watch anyone in that league.

Pre 1980's it was more like rugby. Drawing blood would not even get you a yellow card.

Soccer started in the military, much different sport

Soccer = infantry kicking the severed enemy heads around
Polo = calvary whacking the severed enemy heads around with a stick

Modern whiffing and flopping made it gay

If you are bi curious you have come to the right board. We do not judge here but if you say gay things without the (no homo) nomenclature you are fair game for BigTig et al. SEC OT is like Chalmun's Cantina, a drinking and dining establishment located in the city of (name redacted) on the (location redacted). Although a dimly lit tavern known for frequent outbreaks of violence, it is a popular stopping point for freaks, smugglers, hunters, misfits, and renegades. Also, window licking short bus passengers are allowed inside with supervision.
