nice find.

as for soccer i personnaly think that the game is for actors. after seeing a few of the penaltys in the highlights it only confirms my opinion. also it is making sooks out of the next generation. kids run out on the field and take dives for penaltys and they sook if they get a liitle scratch.

as for the socceroos i actually feel they were targeted by the refs. i only think this as everyone says so cause i haven't watched more then 1 min of any world cup soccer.

thats what i think of this so called world game.

rather soccer then bloody football any day. I've played aussie rules and I'm not impressed with the shirt fronts behind play. Play a team like west heidelberg, lalor or thomastown and you'll know what I mean.

A man had great tickets for the World Cup Final. As he sits down, another man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the empty seat next to him.
"No," he says. "The seat is empty."
This is incredible!" says the other man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the World Cup Final, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?"
"Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first World Cup Final we haven't been to together since we got married in 1966 in London."
"Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?"
The man shakes his head. "No. They're all at the funeral."

Who do you suggest would be able to beat Brazil and Italy but didnt make the world cup?, I didn't know worst teams ever could make the world cup, along the way eliminating a football mad country and previous world cup winner in Uruguay.

Also using that theory, does that mean Essendon should be excluded from the AFL this season because they wont be able to beat Adelaide or West Coast this year?

Adz, didn't your mother ever teach you not to argue with an idiot?

They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

I dont like soccer but I was hoping the Socceroos would do well, and it was a shame to see how they went out... a bad umpiring decision is pathetic, regardless of the sport!

Makes some valid points. It's a frustrating sport to watch. Only sport where your acting skills play such a large part or your overall skill. :(

Being Essendon supporters they will have a hard time stringing together more than three or four words to construct any form of coherent argument, or even a sentence of abuse will be a struggle for them to master. Should set up a Charity; maybe call it the "Get a decent team" foundation. We'll get Ray Martin to hold a Telethon to raise funds so that we can buy Essendon FC and close it down to help all the poor hopeless souls (supporters) find a path out of their rut.

people claim that this "acting" part of soccer reduces its claim to be a sport. However there a set of guidelines on how to rate on field acting/faking. AS/NZS 2432.8 - 2006 Covers this in detail

Not only does soccer suck, so does any ball sport. If you can even call a bunch of grown men chasing after a ball a sport.
Theres only 2 real sports; Hunting, and motor racing.. The rest are just games.

What team, if any, do you support?

So... according to your theory, we shouldnt even have sporting tournaments? The Soccer World Cup should be played every 4 years and there should only be one match between Italy and Brazil? Because according to you, those two are the good teams and anyone who can't beat them shouldnt be at the cup. I think you have some very ignorant views.

how stupid is this guy

"Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because the US is not any good at that activity. The US soccer team won the World Cup in 1991 and 1999. Better find another reason."

There was no World Cup in 1991 or 1999! What a fool

Actually, he was probably refering to the womens World Cup. The last Womens World Cup was held in 2003. And the Womens team did win the Cup in those years.
