I was describing the commitment and investment the German government and country have put into their football program but the people I was talking with started saying it sounds like social engineering. I think they were being alarmist and ridiculous. That's why I wanted to find out more.

Just a random thought. Wouldn't it be cool if NFL teams signify how many super bowls they won on their jersey. How, for example, England has 1 star for winning the world cup one time. So the Chiefs would have something similar on their jersey. Like a gold star or something else, but they'd have one on their jersey for winning 1 super bowl.

Definitely! Maybe like a gold football or something. So yah something on the jersey that represents how many SB's a franchise has won and every team would use the same symbol to represent.

The fascinating thing about soccer is the amount of skill you can attain with a ball and a wall. Kick that thing against the wall until it's bounced back to you at every direction 1,000,000 times, 'til you know every permutation of your foot and the ball interacting.

No, it's down to the Final Four: Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Uruguay.
Personally, I'm rooting pretty hard for the Netherlands to finally win it all. Lived there for four years in my younger years and I know how much it would mean to the people there. |

I don't think he was referring to soccer as "ghey". I believe it was the idea of putting a little football or trophy or whatthe****ever on NFL jerseys to advertise how many Super Bowls a team has won, which sounds awfully gay.

Germany has been impressive in the last two, but without Muller, and with Spain's own offensive attack, coupled with Ramos just being too fast to get caught out of position on D like Germany has been exploiting, I see Spain prevailing.

I don't see what's so gay about it. Can you explain why you feel that way?
