Nobody is Going to the Soccer Games

[Captain Creeper]

World Cup embarrassment with hundreds of seats empty for second game

The row over ticketing pricing is proving to be a PR disaster for FIFA on the opening day of the tournament.

Maybe nobody is going to the games because of the ticket prices, which start at several hundred bucks per ticket. Or, maybe nobody is going because … nobody cares about Krapistan vs. Krapholeistan. We subsidize these armpit countries with our tax money. The least they could do for us is to fight to their deaths rather than kick that silly ball around. Plus, the games opened during the week … when people in America are working.

More interest will be shown for games (I refuse to say “match”) involving the USA team, obviously. But the real flaw in this kick ball tournament is that soccer is not an American sport. Sure, most of the world loves this nonsense. Billions of people in the world eat dogs, but you do not see us doing that creepy sh*t.

Who cares what the rest of the world does? We can do what we want to do. Baseball, hoops, and (real)football. Soccer is fun to watch when your kids are playing it. But put a handful of grown men on a field the size of Texas with one little ball to kick around - for 3-4 hours - so that one team can score one goal for the win, and you have got a total snooze fest. You really have to wonder how empty the lives are of the fans of this goofy game.

Why not focus on basketball for international competition? Everybody in the world loves and plays basketball. Or better yet, hockey. It too is an international sport. Both are far superior to soccer in both high intensity play, endurance, and skill.

Remember the weirdo in college with long blond hair who stood apart from all the other guys? He probably drove a Miata. In political science class he expresses sympathy for communists. He was in great shape and athletic. He surfed. He did not follow traditional sports. He wore bracelets and necklaces made out of shit he found on the beach or in the woods. What I am describing is a douchebag. He has no idea who Sandy Koufax was, but he is a total soccer guy. THIS is a big reason nobody likes soccer. Creepy guys.

The Turd World plays soccer because cannot afford bats, gloves, and helmets. They just need a bouncy ball. In some areas they will use a head of cabbage for the ball. Pathetic, right? Soccer is a poor man’s game. It is a badge of the poor countries. The Europeans play it to, but that is because of their patent lack of imagination.

Finally, we must be concerned about letting all these weirdos into our nation. Hopefully, we are keeping a close eye on them. These days you never know who your enemy is going to turn out to be. There may be spies, or worse, among these ding-dongs and their crews.

Why the hell is anyone obsessing over any of this?

Why would I, or anyone, care if the FIFA World Cup does well or not?

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

What are they doing?What?There's some kind of soccer game going on

Now killing themselves in the arena that I would go see




Or we could just go to a hockey game and enjoy ourselves

If people had any brains they would boycott most all sports where they expect us to pony up outrageous prices so that they can all be multi-millionaires at the expense of ordinary Joes and Janes. I quit a long time ago. I refuse to even contribute to their tv ratings. Screw 'em and screw Hollywood too.

After watching Knicks fans celebrate a win by vandalizing cars and buildings it shows how far fans have lost their grip on what is deemed proper behavior.

Where did they choose all of these half ass countries for this event? What's the matter with Poland or Israel? Do people really want to see Senegal or Paraguay instead?

What the heck kind of name for a country is Uruguay (Spanish for You are Gay) anyhow?

Absolutely. To play it you need four sticks, a goat's bladder, and a somewhat flat space.
The same with Brosketball. A pole with a basket attached and anything that will bounce.
That is the reason these sports are so popular all over the world.
Any turd world savage can play them.

Or even what is important.

I like sports, I even have a favorite team I have been following and supporting since '73.

When they won a few Super Bowls, I rejoiced by eating some wings and having a few beers.

Never have I ever destroyed someone elses property, regardless of the outcome of a game.

Dude, you are going to need some scotch to handle all that excitement!

Not as much as those sitting down to watch soccer will need...

If the Knicks win it at home in Game 6, will the idiot New York fans set their city on fire in celebration?

I never appreciated soccer until I played for a few years as an adult. I appreciate it now since I know how much skill it takes to play it well. Maybe I'm un-American but, I grew up playing baseball and now I never watch it or play it. I find it boring. Soccer, like hockey, is continuous action.
