Soccer is dumb. Ive yet to hear a rational explanation why it isnt from anyone ever. 99.9% of the time all I hear is "The rest of the world plays it." Well who gives half a fuck? Or its "exciting". Not it abso-fuckin-lutely is not. "Oh well, they run the equivelent of 4 miles during the game." Thats it? 4 miles over the larger side of 4 hours is 3.--mph, If I wanted to watch people jog for 4 hours I'd go to the park, then I'd gauge my eyes out with knitting needles. Its boring, inconsistently ruled and officiated, slow, undesicive, overexgagerated, as overly advertised and corrupt as every other sport on earth. Its absolute horse-shit; you run around for 4 hours (kinda sorta ish) watch some asshole flop around worse that divac, and then thats it, its over, 0-0, or 1-1, or some other ungodly tie; more than half the time. Give it up, you dont see tennis fans shitting their pants in anxiety over defending their sport to the rest of the world. Soccer sucks.
