world cup 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 6/15/2010 12:22:00 PM

i'm going through my once every 4 year ritual of forcing myself to watch the world cup. this sport is so big and popular the world round that i can't just ignore its biggest event. but its just so terrible. i keep trying and trying to like soccer but i just can't. its not the speed of the game, i love baseball which is just as slow. its not the foreign factor. i just don't think they are any good. i watch hockey and basketball and can tell that there is some kind of strategy and plan of action on the court/ice. in soccer i just don't see it other than play for the 0-0 tie. the ridiculous hold on to dear life for that one goal style of play is infuriating. you'd have a better chance of winning if you just fucking scored again! if they score in the first minute, its then 89 mins of waiting it out. i never see the types of plays or passes you would see in hockey, or the type of coordinated attack it might take to get a good shot on goal. far too many missed chances, bad passes, and sloppy play for me to be interested. i'm always a fan of a good game, but i just don't see it here. i'm going to keep trying and i'm by no means an expert on the game. i'd love to see the US win it or at least do good. its the one sport we can't dominate for some reason. no excuse!

PS: those fucking horns need to go too. the whole game sounds like a bee hive. how annoying is that?

oh yeah, don't even get me started on the flop in this sport, get up you fucking pussies. that's a trend which can't stop soon enough. you fell down, stop acting like the just killed your dog and cut off your arm. its so fake too, nonsense

Well im totally into the World Cup. For good passing the Spanish are tops(but lost to the Swiss), for coordinated attack the Chilians looked good, (but didnt manage to get a 2nd goal today).

Its not "my" sport either, but its fun and i work with so many international people it gives me something to talk about at work.

And there all morning games so i get to watch.

GOOOOO North Korea!!!!

Yeah it's alright. I like any good game no matter the sport. I think part of the problem is that it is so long without any breaks. That makes it pretty boring. I've been watching the US games.
