1. Come join the rest of the world, Lynne!
Hell, civil wars are being postponed over this! How can you not love anything that could do that?

3. I dated a Moroccan Soccer player for 2 years
I tried watching the game and gave it my all even though I was overwhelming bored by it (he was a goalie and did some professional indoor soccer). When he refused to go to one baseball game with me even though I was paying for everything - I knew the relationship was doomed!

5. Well, he's an asshole.
That doesn't say much for soccer though!

7. Yes but he was absolutely gorgeous
The one thing that soccer players have that no one else in the world has and that's the most amazing legs & butt!

4. I am with you LynneSin
I was stationed in Europe for almost 3 years, I saw violence over soccer( football ) games.

I worked in a NATO unit, fights would occur amoung various groups during World Cup.


I never could see the excitement over a game.

6. I'm half with you.
I don't like football - and so when it gets to these major tournaments I really start to dislike it because people decide that everybody has to be obsessed with it and start to talk at one about it.

But on the other hand I also don't like American football so I'm not with you there.

I have to say - I've hidden more threads in the Lounge since the football World Cup began than in my entire time on D.U. to that point.
