I don't get the fascination with it. It is like rugby which I don't get either.
I went to Spain and had the TV on while I got dressed to go eat and when I noticed the TV again it looked like they were showing a Cowboys game. It looked like the old Cowboy Stadium but it was all in Spanish. I sat on the bed and tried to figure out why they would be showing a Cowboys game in Barcelona. Then I noticed that all of their jerseys had Spanish surnames. I got to asking and found out there are football teams all through Europe. That is why the SuperBowl is so popular.
But then again I do not get soccer.
But then again I do not get soccer.
...trouble is, I do get soccer, and while I don’t think the game itself is very good (the point appears, at least at the high school level, to kick the ball out of bounds as quickly as possible, then line back up and do it all again) what I really hate is the elites, and their drones in the media pushing the game down our throats as some sort of alternative to football...
...the elites love the game, because at lower levels, very little skill is needed to play (compare it to baseball), and because, if push came to shove, girls could be mixed in on boys teams an the dropoff in game quality will not be as apparent...really, an elitist’s fondest dream...
