This is what America was about ...

Getting it done when it was all on the line.



Soccer and ties are for fags.

    Half our members weren't alive when America kicked ass. They don't know any better.

    People forget that the US only beat the Russians for the gold medal because they tied Sweden in group play:

    Had the US lost to Sweden, the Russians would still have gotten the gold.

    Oh, and the US has to beat Finland, but people here usually remember that one.

    Soccer will be the most popular sport in America some day. Maybe you should kill yourself before that happens.

    I support the US World Cup team, because I don't hate America.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't want us to lose. I never want America to lose at any organized sporting event. I just think soccer is a slapdick sport that licks monkey balls, so I am not cheering for them to win. But, I would rather them win and be King of the Fags, than lose and be the rectal pin cushion for the rest of the world.

    This.

    Don't forget we can tie and it's kinda like a win.

    When is this going to be? The MLS is the professional league here. Real soccer fans don't even watch it.

    Soccer is fun. I liked playing it when I was a kid and like coaching it now. It never got in the way of the sports I was serious about when I was a kid, and I've battled hard to make sure my own son is better at baseball than soccer since he doesn't like football.

    I can watch about half a game once a week on TV. It's interesting for me because I've coached at a medium level of play (skilled 14 year olds) and I compare what they're doing to what I can get out of the kids, hopefully learning something in the process. That's about all I can watch though. It's a little boring after a bit and there's a lot of gayness going around that makes me feel guilty for watching somehow.

    Just thought I'd throw that little confession out there. You all can blow me.

    If that reaction was me laughing, sure. She's Kris Vashon FS.

    she boom roasted your theory right here (emphasis mine):

    Soccer is not "catching on." Headlines this week proclaimed "Record U.S. ratings for World Cup," and we had to hear -- again -- about the "growing popularity of soccer in the United States."


    The USA-Portugal game was the blockbuster match, garnering 18.2 million viewers on ESPN. This beat the second-most watched soccer game ever: The 1999 Women's World Cup final (USA vs. China) on ABC. (In soccer, the women's games are as thrilling as the men's.)


    Run-of-the-mill, regular-season Sunday Night Football games average more than 20 million viewers; NFL playoff games get 30 to 40 million viewers; and this year's Super Bowl had 111.5 million viewers.


    Remember when the media tried to foist British soccer star David Beckham and his permanently camera-ready wife on us a few years ago? Their arrival in America was heralded with 24-7 news coverage. That lasted about two days. Ratings tanked. No one cared.


    If more "Americans" are watching soccer today, it's only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law. I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time.

    People have been saying that since 1968 1918...

    Read an article in WSJ or someplace last month, and it had stuff from post WWI where people thought doughboys would bring back the love, along with the clap, from Europe.

    I know, great linkage as always.

    My family came here in the 1800s and I'm watching soccer. Can't wait for the US to become majority Hispanic, just to watch her head explode.

    I guess you "laughing" comes across on the internet as a angry rant. Nothing in your post suggested anything but being a pissed off soccer homo.

    She had some interesting info. It doesn't measure up to American football in terms of viewership which is no surprise at all. That doesn't mean it's going anywhere. 20 million viewers is still 20 million.

    Then she went ahead and perfectly supported what PurpleJ said, and you even italicized it for emphasis. Fucking christ. Nimrods like her can't get out of their own way. She should have just stuck to the first point, which is that soccer will never exceed football in the US in terms of popularity. Call it good at that and you win.

    The World Cup only happens once every 4 years. The real question is how many Americans are watching the Champions League Final and the MLS. The number isn't very high. It's still the 4th (at best) most popular sport for Americans. The average NBA or MLB regular season game has to draw better ratings than an MLS game.

    People only care about Soccer in the USA every 4 years. If the USA does something half good like lose to advance to the next stage, then the fever lasts another 5 or 6 days until they knocked out in the 1st rd of the sweet 16. By then hardly anyone will know nor care who is in the WC final and Soccer will return to it's place as about the 9th or 10th most popular sport here.

    One only needs to look at MLS ratings to see that.

    Not gonna argue with you about the MLS. NOGAF about that dreckfest, and soccer won't grow to it's potential unless that changes.
