Soccer: The only game in the world that needs emergency lawnmowers on the sidelines, during a game, to keep the field playable.

I attempted to watch one of the us matches to see what the hoopla was all about. I lasted five minutes. I decided to go rearrange my sock draw

LOL!!!

[smoothsailing]

LOL!!! ...and a box of scissors for the delicate work.

[fhayek]

Can’t disagree with a single syllable, but go ahead and like soccer if you feel the need. After all, it is your time to waste.

[smoothsailing]

Say whatever you want about it, but soccer will never replace watching paint dry as the American Pastime.

[IrishBrigade]

Name one.

...#52, #63...but maybe you have a different sense of humor...

[1rudeboy]

Yeah, I do have a different sense of humor. So if someone says something stupid, a small taunt in their direction works for me.

[1rudeboy]

So why do you feel so threatened?

[smoothsailing]

So why do you feel so threatened?

I don't.

Why are you playing the buffoon?

Are you unable to control the urge or is it your natural state?

[1rudeboy]

I’m in great company. Got any tips?

[smoothsailing]

It’s all in what you’re used to.

I guess Ann is trying out for Ed Anger's job at Weekly World News.

That's not really a dig. She's entertaining and factual.

She does lay it on pretty thick, though.

I find it hard to believe that soccer players “run” that many miles in a game. A lot of the time is spent standing, or trotting at best.

It's more the distance than the speed. Plus, interval training -- now a leisurely trot, now an all-out sprint -- is supposed to be good exercise.

[smoothsailing]

She has been on a bit of a roll lately. :)

[pfflier]

This could be a clue:

Ann is trying to regain her conservative street cred again. Good luck with that.

Anyone upset that the USA made the last 16 should have a big problem with wild cards winning the World Series or Super Bowl and half the teams in the NHL making the playoffs.

They should also have a problem with the NBA sending 16 teams to best-of-seven playoff series just so the same two teams can play in the finals every year.

Go back to shilling for Chris Christie, Ann. It suits you better.
