That word is blasphemous over there. I'll bet you get struck down by Meleet cuz them there be some fightin' words. Go Booti, go Booti, go Booti, go BootiKickbooti said:You are a funny guy Crakie.
In America, Soccer is a low-cost sporting alternative for 5-9 year olds until they can play a real sport like Football, Hockey or Baseball.
My general impression of soccer is best summed up by the Simpsons, and I quote...
"High kicking! Low scoring! And ties? You Betcha!"

Hey you'll get no argument with me. There's nothing better than seeing Joey Harrington get thrown around like a ragdoll and because it's obvious we stink at the other game.Kickbooti said:I'm sure the wise and munificent Meleet will forgive me. I'll speak with Grahamian and see if we can sacrifice to Meleet by straining the citizens of Dancing Bannana through a chain link fence. Soccer fans in some part of the world seem to like that so I figure...
In my opinion It is a bit blood-thirsty, not at all like the civilized practice of gaining 70lbs., wiating for the temperature to fall below freezing, liqouring up and stripping to the waist after covering yourself in body paint (ala Green Bay Packers)with cheese on your head. Ahhh. I'm counting the days until Lord Football can ascend his autumnul throne.
But until then, different strokes for different folks.
