As far as this redneck I don't watch soocer because I find it boring and the flop fake injury crap is a joke. As far as your silly statement I cannot think of a sport that is not dominated by non-whites~

The difference is that those sports were dominated first by white American males...

soccer is one sport that is not and will never be.

great game all of the sudden

here is the description of germany's first goal from the Guardian live blog

Quote:

20 mins: KLOSE'S NUMBER 12!!! Germany 1-0 England. Dear Lord. Neuer hoofs a long ball upfield, straight down the middle. Terry is off on holiday, Upson was standing wondering whether to go with him, maybe stow away in his suitcase, and so Klose simply romps down the middle, sliding in and poking a right-foot shot past the advancing James and into the bottom-right corner. That is as simple a goal that's been scored in the entire history of All Football. What a defensive shambles. The centre backs want shooting when they eventually come back from their break.

LA Lakers, fast break makers, kings of the court shake and bake all takers.

I'd have a red card by now if I was an Englishman after that pathetic non-goal.

mlyonsd 06-27-2010 08:41 AM

Don't they have officials staked out just to watch the goal like hockey does?

I haven't followed this thread so I don't know if you are a soccer fan or troll. All I know is that I've followed soccer closely for 30 years now and it's in a better place than it was even ten years ago as far as support and being accepted on a world stage.


I agree that ratings are up big time and it is going in the right direction. Many on this board do not understand that Soccer is many times more popular then any other sport as far as the world is concerned.

Please, I apologize if I even resemble a troll. I would never bash on a person that likes a sport that I don't follow. There is no point to trolling, it's a waste of time for both parties involved.

White Americans, specifically.

Thing is [and this is true for all touch lines] the ball has to COMPLETELY cross, is so much as the skin of the ball is in the plane created by the touch line, it hasn't crossed yet, and yes the side judge [who also calls offsides] should be on the touch line.

That said, the ball was a full ball width past touch, and England got jobbed.

His actual point was that you said rednecks will only support sports that are dominated by whites.



Football, Basketball, and Baseball.


JFC this is getting silly. LMAO

You may end up being right about the decline in viewership after the US loss. I'm sure there will be the bandwaggoners jumping off. Good riddance. But I also believe there will be new fans who are now in too deep to switch the channel off.
