Yepp, it's that particular ball sport most Americans don't care about but pretty much everybody else is crazy about for some reason: Soccer.

Now the uber-event of Soccer has begun, the first time in history on African soil. And the Black Eyed Peas played at the opening ceremony.

Thoughts?

Americans don't care about Soccer because they have Football. Personally, I hate both. I find most sports pretty boring to say the least. But that's just my opinion.

Since both feature 22 guys running after a ball it's a good substitute, I would say.

I agree with Slippy. I dislike soccer just because of its angry cheerleaders. They start a fight in a second over what - a team.

and... why does you call american football "football", you can use every part of your body to move the "Ball?", why calling it football then?

And yeah: Auf geht's Deutschland, auf geht's!

OH MY GOD at green, seriously, if that was me, I would just leave the arena instantly and never return to play 'soccer' ever again

Its funny how the US tied with Britain and they're celebrating like they won.

44R0NM10 · Post by **44R0NM10** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 11:06 am

England drew the first match in 1966 if I'm not mistaken. Besides the goalie didn't make a massive mistake. I've seen worse.

Poor Australia...I thought they were playing austria half that game...austria aren't even In the world cup...

Cameroon lost to Japan....
WHAT?!?
Why is Ghana the ONLY African country that's won??

Also, Denmark scored an own-goal. They must be crazy embarrassed.

Ok I'm not a Soccer/Football fan but how do professional players do something like that? I mean there's making a mistake and then there that.

it bounced off a dude's head, off another's dude's back, and into their own goal while the goal was on the other side and totally wasn't expecting it

I managed to see the self-goal shiz, and that looks pretty well, SUP I Can't aim ?:> Not to be mean or anything, but that was just pure dumbness, really.. Big, epic fail.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcqclJnfTMk theres the video, the guys in white shirts are supposed to score on the other side of the field, and they just scored in their own goal :3

Go Italy!!

Well, since i live in the US, go USA!

Brazil 2 - 1 North Korea, PRK held Brazil scorless the first half, i was impressed by that, they alos had a few decent scoring chances but that'll do nothing against the best team in the world right now.

...but I will not be surprised in the slightest if we lose. This just isn't our country's sport. Laugh all you want, but we were the first to get 8 gold medals for swimming.

Typhon · Post by **Typhon** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 5:36 pm

Plus we have lots of nukes, *stares at North Korea*

Yay! Germany is in third and Uruguay isn't!
that's what they get for being sucky sports against Ghana!

wow this thread died...

I was planning to say something when England and USA got through...but forgot.

Still, this is as good a time as any to say who's gonna win. Spain or Holland?

Personally, I'm going with Spain.

Edit...where in the world did I get Holland from?

EchoFireant · Post by **EchoFireant** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 12:44 am

Spain all the way. Their squad looked solid and of course, I've always been an avid Spanish football fan.
