This is another thing I've been thinking about.
People always act like the World Cup is a huge intercultural festival of peace and understanding.
When all it does is make me hate countries that I'd otherwise have no opinion on, like Uruguay (or Spain or Italy or France or Portugal)
Hockey needs to shorten its fucking season. I have small quibbles with some rules but generally it's ok. The structure of the NHL is fuck-awful though.
I think the bolded has always been a front for allowing people to just blatantly project hate at entire swaths of people.
It's not cool to say you hate an entire country, but during the World Cup it is!
Lockout season was the best.

Baseball needs to abolish the Wild Card, play a balanced schedule, and only send two team from each league into the playoffs.Old man Talon strikes again

Hockey is the bestTrue but in terms of watching the game, I'll take it over any other sport cept Football.
The playoffs were great this playoffs. The finals were underwhelming (I wanted 7 games) but I never got into baseball and basketball is just so much more fun to watch.
Almost. No playoffs. Best AL team v. Best NL team in a best of 7 on a neutral field with no rest days. Fuck being able to win with 2 starters.

But it unites us in our hatred! Together we hate the broke pieces of shit in Spain and Portugal!
Except for this girl
I would give her financial aid, if you know what I mean(I wanna put my penis in and around her)
I must say it is pretty genius to only have the World Cup every 4 years. That's usually long enough for me to forget how much soccer sucks.
Then I tune in for the first week or so until can't take it anymore.
Soccer is much more interesting as a sport than football.
There is flopping in the 2K series though. You press the "take charge" button twice, and the bro will just fall down.Watching the World Cup has reminded me of how unrealistic FIFA is. There is definitely no bite button and I don't even think there is one for flopping. Maybe they will get it right for 15.
You may be more entertained by it, but it's definitely not more interesting. Football is constantly evolving. Whether it be schemes, rules or techniques. Soccer was done changing about 30 minutes after it was invented. As has been stated, soccer's a simple game and much easier to understand. If you slept for 10 years, you'd have to catch up on the changes in football, while soccer would still be the same.

I think Dutch finally found the perfect avatar for his personality.
And you filthy Euros are all women at soccer matches hot or do the cameras just focus on the insanely hot women and blur out the masses of fat ugly ones?
I saw the highlights of that Italy match and it was hilarious. 90% of the highlights were dirty plays and some dude biting another grown man.
Fuck Italy and fuck Uruguay. Tournament will be better when both are elimination.

It would depend entirely on what your definition of "action" is.
If it's shots on goal? Each soccer game has about 16 seconds of action.
Italy plays ugly so most people won't care about Uruguay getting away with a bite.Italy-Uruguay was fucking terrible. Typical Italian fight might, they usually win these.
The single out the hot ones.
Also, fuck the Chile coach complaining about our playing style (We used to be the ones complaining about these things, an we are now the bus parkers)
anyone near Indianapolis area please stay safe! Large tornado on the ground.
Wtf is a tornado?

Ah yes I remember the NHL lockout season.
Good times, good times.
Oddly can't recall anything from the first round of the playoffs that season...

Why does weather try to kill people in every other place but California.
I think Dutch would lose his mind on the campus of an SEC school or USC or something.

I dunno but California is boring and has too many people in it.

Soccer is much more interesting as a sport than football. Sorry! I think theres a good reason soccer is the most popular sport in the world.
But I think football is more enjoyable to watch simply because I'm an American. As far as MLS has grown its still a pretty niche thing (but with Orlando getting a MLS team next year I'll be more invested). Not really fun to talk about with other people and bandwagoning English club teams when you're not from England is just weird.
