Yes, I am the typical crass American that just doesn't get Soccer at any level. I've tried to watch it. Really I have. I've even pretended to be 'politically correct' and put up with, and maybe even join in some World Cup banter and discussions when that special year comes around.
But I just have to face it...I much prefer going to web sites like http://www.soccersucks.net/ and reading about how truly insignificant and un-American soccer really is.
The quotes are hilarious and right on the money.
No one that actually likes the activity, and no I don't even think of it as a sport, will read the comments and it's too bad...there is some funny stuff on there.
I say just leave it for the communists and third world countries that are unfortunately unable to afford anything more than a dust plot of ground, a ball and a makeshift goal to punch it through. I mean who thought it up "Hey lets play a game and not use our hands"
This attitude will naturally leave people dismissing me as just another ignorant American, but I'm not (well about this anyway) I've checked it out over an extended period of time, I've tried it...It sucks, it's boring, it's as much fun as watching a copier jam. Even Jim Rome gets this one right.
People actually KILL each other over the outcome of matches. Can you imagine? Not even Yankee or Cowboy fans are that ignorant and rabid.
For all those that love it and consider it some sort of huge do-or-die National or Internatural cultural icon that signifies the greatness of ones country.......I am sad for you, just sad. How did you ever get this crap into your head?
With all the great sports we have in America why oh why do people waste their time on such drivel.
And why do I waste my time writing about it?
Because..I'm a cycling fan and what could be more un-American than that?

I hear soccer is best with a whole lot of light import lagers... so, I suppose you're screwed on that too. There may be a correlation between those who like soccer and those who like light beer.
you have to like when someone scores though, and the only word the announcer can yell is "GOAL!"... for like 5 minutes.
"The human body has arms, hands, shoulders, and a brain - why can't you incorporate these into your sport (sic) of soccer?"
