World Cup 2014

[Beanz]

Soccer is ok but in North America it is a culture shock because we are used to our athletes being real men (mostly), not a bunch of sissies who drive and scream every time someone touches them.

I enjoy the skill of the game but the diving is just ridiculous.

Why do american football players wear enough padding to do bomb disposal then?

Because it's a bunch of men weighing between 200-400lbs slamming into each other with tremendous force and speed, and you don't get to fall over and make faces like someone shot you when you get touched.

For the rest of the world thats rugby minus the iron panty liners. Ponce.

uruguay looked like a completely different team with suarez on the field, both sides had insanely good mchances uruguay just happened to convert two.

You soccer fans don't get to look down on other sports, sorry.

You're having your time now once every 4 years where everyone pretends to give a fuck about it. Enjoy it.

Gotta love the Limeys, man. Worship a sport where people fall to the ground and roll around in anguish whenever they're touched, and then question why american football players have to wear padding.

Country of sissies. No wonder you guys haven't produced a quality fighter in years.

[Beanflicker]

England is 0-2 so I guess they are rubbish on the pitch as well.

Job biscuit (shine ya shoes, guv'nah??),
Eh eh!

[armin]

and woho this thread has turned into a shitfest, dude beanflicker man if you hate it so much why are you in a thread specifically about it...yeah the flopping sucks and they need to cut it out but lets not pretend NBA players aren't masters of it, American football doesn't lend itself to flopping, nor does Rugby so it doesn't occur. What I am saying is the world cup is effin awesome and why bitch and moan about it if you dont like it stay out of the thread and dont watch

You're ruining this thread with your ignorance.

I'm going to bite.

Diving in football is shit. Every Englishman thinks so. We are fairly well known for doing it less than others (although it is creeping in to our game). The game can still be great though.

Country of sissies because we like football? Have you seen rugby? 200-300lb men smashing the hell out of each other with no pads. They are properly hard men. Not demeaning American Football as I enjoy that too and its apples and oranges, but don't be so ignorant.

And you do understand the football is the MOST popular sport in the world, EVERY year. All around the world. Europe, Central America, South America, Africa, large parts of Asia it is the number one sport. It's just ignorant North Americans like you that don't know that. You might not like it but it's a fact.

We kind of cant argue with what we got. I for one simply wanted to end a game knowing that the players on the pitch gave it a good go and they did. Technical shortcomings aside we tried and save for a massive slice of good fortune we'll be out at the group stage. Defensively poor, still no one willing to take responsibility for passing the ball through the middle third of the pitch and no real movement up front. The youngesters acquited themselves well. Didnt quite go for Sterling last night but he tries to make things happen and he scared Italy to death. Barkley will come good I'm sure. All the focus was on Rooney, he delivered a performance. Question marks over Gerrards place for me, I really dont see what he offeres England. The raking 40 yard balls seldom come off, he doesnt pose any real attacking threat and he doesnt have the will/skill to dictate from the middle, he's a passenger for me.

Looking forward to all three matches, they should all be very competitive.

[Master]

Lineker is wearing an Italkian top today, not helping. Neither is Balotelli.

Hopefully not to hard, lover.

Fair play to you on rugby, I played it all through high school because it's a real man's sport. We'd run practices on a local soccer pitch so we'd have to go tell the soccer playing sissies to take a hike and make way for the real men.
