Soccer is gay.
Especially men’s soccer.
No disrespect, but this has to be about the softest draw possible. If the US doesn’t win the group there’s no hope for US Men’s soccer.
I can see USA losing all games.
They’ve been playing well recently. Maybe stopping wearing those fag jerseys help.
“Soccer, never could understand that, anything a five year old can do ain’t a sport.” Marcus.
Because FIFA would never fix a drawing.
And a “Peace prize?” What the hell is THAT about?
All to watch a bunch of grown men whine to refs like LeBron James? No thanks.
If Estevao is as good as advertised, Brazil might be back.
But my money is on Spain to win it all.
There is something intrinsically un-American in a sport that routinely ends in a tie.
Why not?
Seems like they deemed a shootout like in hockey was beneath the spirit of the game.
No kidding.
Here! Here!
I’m so excited for the World Cup that I flopped twice while reading this article.
I'm not a big soccer fan but I enjoy watching the World Cup every 4 years.
Now that they allow up to five substitutions in a game, there’s no reason they can’t just play until somebody scores, instead of going to penalty kicks.
Up to 1965, substitutions weren’t allowed, period.
I am not a big soccer fan, but I have watched it long enough to know I need to change channels.
How much money? What odds?
