Oh, and FAG BALL (soccer) is SOOOO EXCITING! Pick up the damn ball and do some more scoring! Soccer is about as American as Communism! It has been a total failure as a professional sport.

Agree with you about soccer being a failure as a professional sport in America. It has not been marketed right and it has also had a difficult time competing with dollars and attendance from other "American" sports.

As for your opinion on soccer, most people who are not very knowledgeable on the sport are the one's bashing it. Soccer has been very good to me. I have traveled internationally to over 20 nations playing soccer and it payed for my college tuition (athletic scholarship). If you saw me you probably wouldn't call me a "fag" for playing it (I played at 6'1" 215 7% bodyfat). Soccer is one of the most physical sports out there. Second most injury prone sports in the NCAA behind wrestling (football being 3rd). I have broken ankles, have a torn medial meniscus, torn medial collateral, 14 stitches under my eye, broken big toe, broken tail bone and many other bumps and bruises from the game of soccer.

I understand your opinion on soccer. If I didn't understand the sport I would probably have the same attitude. I don't like watching MLS soccer but when the World Cup comes around every 4 years I definitely will watch it.

"FAG BALL"?? LOL!

And how about a 'Top (Y-A-W-N) Ten' scoring list? Rodrigues - 2 goals, McNaulty - 1 goal, Montoya - 1 goal, Pepino - 1 post...
