damn you clob! I think someone started cutting an onion over here. I'm really hoping they can make the round of 16. I followed their run through the Euros. Incredible story and incredible that a nation that small can put out players that can compete and win at the world class level. Just sad that the good ole usa can't put a decent squad together. Should be much better.
You can call it kickball all you want but it's silly because kickball is a completely different sport. Trying to demean soccer by calling it a different game makes no sense. It does make you sound like a child but whatever. We get it, you've dug your heels in and you just don't like soccer.
It's like calling baseball cricket simply because they both use a stick to hit a ball.
I've been on here for almost 18 years and if you're gonna ban me because I said you "sound like something" then so be it.
Calling the sport I coach "kickball" is insulting and disrespectful. And the moment I respond in kind I get a threat? Not good moderation MM.
We agree on 95% of things on here, except our feelings on soccer.
I'm waiting on belgium v England on Thursday. Two countries I truly love visiting. I can't decide if I'm leaning toward the imperialists or the waffle and beer makers.
That's a tough one! If we're going off beer and food give me Belgium!
Damnit though I'll probably end up pulling for England
Waffle and Beer makers for the win! Love Belgium just took a visit a month or so ago.
I never said anything about banning you. Just pointed out that calling people names here even when you don't agree with their position on something is not a good thing to do. Its ok to disagree on things, but be respectful towards each other when you do.
I want to be clear here on two things.
One, I didn't call you ignorant or a meathead...I simply stated that is what it sounded like when you call soccer kickball. Just so we're double clear, I don't think you're either. And two, I have said my piece in regards to my sport and my position in calling it kickball. That is that for me. Hook 'em.
Argentina - France in the round of 16. Yikes! We could also see a round of 16 matchup with Brazil - Germany. It's been a crazy world cup and I hope it continues.
The only game today that was a real snoozer was that France - Denmark game. Good grief it was like watching an 11am Big Ten game on ESPN2...nap time.

Both teams had chances but Denmark definitely played it conservative to ensure at least a draw to advance.
Let's face it. The concacaf teams are the junk yard dogs of any tournament. I know Mexico would like to be in there with the euro's but they ain't. Mexico got what they needed, the chain yanked. Now they are ready.
The announcer on telemundo was cracking me up. He was talking in Spanish about the reason that Sweden kept trying to get corner kicks in the match. "Sweden has a cultural advantage during corner kicks. This is why they are aggressively trying to achieve them. They can't be victorious by playing Mexico straight up so they must use their cultural advantage....".
Translation: Mexicans are short and Swedes are tall.
MM, that ain't me saying that, that's telemundo. Messenger = not getting shot
Meh, I'm just glad to see when the traditional powers go down. Love hearing about the unexpected teams win/advance. Still haven't watched on minute of that stuff.
BS.... they thought that tiny Korean dude was a piñata.
Ironic Japan go through on "fair play" rule. What an embarrassment the last 12-15 minutes of the Japan-Poland game...
This is common in soccer. It is amazing how emotional people are in other countries compared to the US. We must seem almost mechanical on TV in other countries.
Mexico is in shambles. They elect a socialist president and lose a world cup match to Brazil ....... all within 24 hours. Coincidence???
Pobre Guey
This is the best World Cup I have seen. '98 is now 2nd. The entertainment, drama, etc. has been incredible.
