World Cup (soccer for you americans)

Are they making a big thing of the world cup in the states or is nobody interested.

 

in vancouver on a street which is somewhat downtown called Comercial Drive is INSANE about the world cup

mainly because it has many different ethnic groups, so u will have a couple Cafe's really close who are all Italians, and down a little Brazilians etc. it's AWSOME down there during world cup, the excitemtn is amazing for soccer, which normally i find boring as hell

 

It's like soccer doesn't even exist...I only watch baseball,basketball and football(American).

 

The U.S.A have a team in it. There supposed to better pretty good.

 

HIGHLY overrated though

 

Just being polite, England will obviously win the world cup.

 

this year its Brazil

 

for sure brazil

 

yeah theres this italian-style coffee shop near my house and they are showing lots of the world cup games. its pretty awesome and alot of people around here watch it

Oh and brazil is definitely gonna kick englands ass

 

I work at Buffalo Wild Wings and we show the Cup all day, and we were packed all day today. I gotta to with Poland just cuz of the fact that I am a Pollack, even though they did lose today which really pisses me off.

 

Who are Brazil when you have Rooney, Lampard ,Gerrard,Ferdinand,and Beckham in your team. This is Englands year.

 

Oh, I'm sorry, I don't watch the World Cup...nope, why when I can watch the WORLD Series, or the World Championship of Basketball, or see who becomes the world's champion in Football! Good ole American football too, not none of that logical football shit where you play with your foot, or is it rugby where you actual make a touchdown.

Fuck using words for their literal meaning.

/end sarcasm.

So yeah, anyone else find it funny that the only sport that we actually participate in world wide is Soccer/Football, yet the only sport we don't watch in mass amounts is Soccer/Football?

In the words of John Stewart, "Other countries need the world cup as a metaphor for war." "Well what about America, why don't we participate?" "Because we have war. We don't need a metaphor."

 

You may have something there. England football fans were infamous for there organised hooliganism. We were banned from Europe for five years. Now we are no longer a super power its inbred in us a certain patriotic fighting spirit if we not at war with the Germans the least we can do is kick there arses on the terraces. If you watch England fans in action its a far cry from the bowler hat image some people have of us. Football violence has been called the English Disease. Though with the advent of c.c.t. cameras at the grounds a lot of the fighting has moved outside.
I mean if were not allowed to pillage counties all around the globe anymore our pent up aggression has got to manifest itself somehow.
Ten pints, England win the match, kick in a few foriegners then finish of with a good **** what more could a respectable Englishman want.
