Freepbaggers still blowing gas about 'socialist' soccer.

:eyes: I'll give him some points on the injury faking bit, but the rest is pure constipated freepbagger bullshit. Notice that the rest of his comments are racist and xenophobic. What else is new?

I watched the World Cup for the 1st time and noticed two major problems with soccer becoming a US major sport:

1) 50% of international compe----ion is acting...I noticed when a player falls down...he acts like he has been hit by a truck...then oce the ball is about 10 years away ...jumps up and continues...most of the time the replys showed the fool tripping on his own feet...and the other guy gets a foul.

2) the "offsides" prevents faster teams/players from using their skills...one time when Netherlands guy was open to received a pass and score...he was called for "offsides"...the other team can just stop...and let the guy go forward to stop a "fast break"...this is why soccer is like "socialism"...even if you have the faster team...you get held back to "make it fair" for the others.

1. "offsides" are introduced to make the game tougher, actually.

If there were no offsides, then players would simply kick the ball far across the field to someone waiting beside the goal. Offsides were introduces so that players have to "fight" their way through enemy lines.

[Mike Daniels]

11. not to mention that U.S. football's offsides is pretty much the same concept

in that an offensive player can't be "behind" the defense before the ball is snapped (or in regards to soccer "kicked").

2. don't all U.S. sports have some kind of revenue sharing?

how much more socialist can you get?

[Ishoutandscream2]

7. NFL. And it works great

They are so stupid. Revenue sharing in the NFL has made it so incredibly profitable.

3. Freeper idiots

it's illegal to be in front of the defense, not to out-run the defense. :eyes:

[Ishoutandscream2]

4. I actually find some agreement with both 1 and 2

Actually, a lot of agreement with point 1. Point 2 - I know you need an offsides penalty in soccer (you would have guys camping out in front of the goal on the offensive end). However, I believe there should be some adjustments on the offsides rule. Being slightly ahead of a defender should be a no-call.

5. I'd go along with both points

And adopt Bucky the Cat's suggestion for making MMA fighters as referees so that when one of those swan-diving shin-grabbing mama's boys goes down like he'd just been shot, the referee would administer a beating on the player so that the faked injury became real.

That being said, if the histrionics of soccer players disturbs people, then I'm sure that the flopping and screaming by NBA players, particularly during the playoffs (as well as the Special Rules for Stars, who never travel, double dribble, simply lose the ball, camp in the lane for 10 seconds or more, fail to connect on a wide open shot, or push off a defender to give themselves room to shoot) is equally to be condemned by these stalwart defenders of all things American from teh socializm.

8. I notice this one finds the word competition to be as holy as some find the word G-d.

Note the dashes. :wtf:

12. I figured "tit" was just too prurient for this bozo to type

[Richardo]

13. He's masking the word 'tit'

:D

9. LOL

I love soccer... but DAMN you're funny!

:rofl:

Thanks for the needed laugh

6. Football is the game of the working class of the world

It is the most popular sport on the planet and nothing no fugging teabaggers say will change that fact - EVER.
I'm betting there are less brain injuries in football than in American football. A great American writer said that American football is like American foreign policy - you see your goal in the end zone and destroy anything in your way while stopping a gazillion times to advertise some product.

[southernyankeebelle]

10. I want to see a NFL player run for 45 mins and have a 6 min break and then get

back on the field and run another 45 mins while not being able to handle the ball with his hands. I don't think many american football players can do the same. Soccer is just as boring as baseball and I can't stand that either.

[damntexdem]

14. The World Cup is over and the U.S. needn't worry about soccer for 4 more years.

It would likely be safe to ignore RW rants about soccer -- hey, it keeps them off the streets for at least a bit. ;-)

My suggestion is that from now on we let psychic octopi predict what RWers will say about soccer -- so not need to read their rants ourselves. ;-)

15. Faking an injury? Apparently he has never watched an NBA game.

Or an NFL game.

[Initech]

16. Do they like anything?
