Why Football is better than soccer

[Atreides]

I think Japan deserves to be in the top 20 but not Costa Rica. Btw Roberto Carlos is an exception - his thighs are massive tree trunks.

[Atreides]

Btw on musculature - some of those pics are just wrong. I'd prefer to be toned and sculpted but not freakish. It's as bad as bad a bad breast implant job - it no longer looks natural.

 

At the end of the day I'd still like to look good/fit in a suit.

[Azure79]

All these pics are scary. Except for the Predator one. The governator has pretty impressive muscles...that look good too.

Arnold Schwarzenegger rules! Me thinks he should have stayed in making movies and not politics.

That's why I posted a picture of him... his man-thighs are exceptionally beautiful

 

And Julian, stop posting those gross pictures!

What makes dear Kumq think that yanks are any good in real football except to be laughed at?

 

My country might not have made it to the WC for once, but they (like almost any other Euro team) would rip the US one to pieces... I mean it would be a frag fest. You're used to play against freaking Costa Rica and Panama ffs, get real will ya!

Tourney time is coming.

 

We'll see

 

We will see

 

still, soccer is prolly like the 6th most popular pro sport (not counting nascar and such) in the US. Say what you will, but we're ranked 7th IN OUR SPARE TIME.

 

You would give up a pinky to be ranked that high

you did win the 'gold cup'...

 

however, in the world cup you're basically a walk over. the ranking means nothing; the world cup everything.

 

btw, international football is nothing compared to club football. that is the real sport, not some nationalistic crap...

Yes kumaq your country is ranked better then mine by fifa ranks....but let me tell you that few people rank the strength and quality of a team by fifa ranks as statistics don't always relieve everything, results from the World Cup and other tough international competitions and matches show the real quality of a national team.

 

Like Lucius said, my country can trash yours any time in soccer, but the WC is coming around next year so we'll see how things come out

[kumquatq3]

ahhh jealousy

[Commissar]

Did any of the Scandinavian countries even qualify for the World Cup tournament last time?

 

And if there's one thing you can say about England...they sure know how to buy their talent. That's why their league teams are pretty good, but turn them loose in a competition where actual Englishmen have to play? Pff. Substitute a flag pole in for the goalie, they're still not going to score.

[Vashanti]

My favorite part about the World Cup last time (yes, my wife and I watch it, here in America -- we both played soccer [football to you non-Americans] avidly in our youth), was when the U.S. made it to the top 4 (I think), and Donovan blurted out on live TV: "F*** YEAH, BABY!"

 

Good stuff.

sweden and denmark.

 

there are a lot of great english footballers, but within the eu players can move freely. ergo the best players, usually, play for the best clubs. england can finish in the top 4 in 2006.

Yah, that was it.

 

Still, better than the US had ever done!

[kumquatq3]

America lost by 1 (1:0) to Germany (2nd place team)

 

and football is better than soccer

[Surreptishus]

So? 1 goal is a lot, its not like american sports where teams score dozens of points.

 

Damn that world cup must have been so fixed, how the fark did korea get to the semi final

[kumquatq3]

So Denmark losing to England by 3 is a ****LOAD then :D

Have you even seen "Kung-Fu Hussle"

[Surreptishus]

yes :D but they were chinese! and it wasnt called tae kwon do hustle

 

you saying they all look the same or something?

Yah, my wife's got season tickets to the Bucs (she's lived here in Tampa her entire life) along with her brother. She got me into football (American), whereas I only had a passing interest in it before her. Good stuff!

[kumquatq3]

yes :D but they were chinese! and it wasnt called tae kwon do hustle

except the Mongolians, they rock

[julianw]

Not surprisingly, the Chinese rank 56 or something in international football. You'd think they can find at least 11 good players out of 1.5 billion people. <_<

Yeah that is quite a beating, however if you had faced England instead of freaking Mexico, the score would have been even more brutal in favour of the English. Boy I hope the US will face a Euro team next summer, then we'll see just how far up you can shove your coca-cola ranking.
