Swiss soccer players with NCAA eligibility?

Hardee’s must close at noon? Or did you have to go get your EBT card refilled? The least you could do is thank us taxpayers on the board for keeping your double-wide stocked up with FunYuns.

I have an extra ticket to the Maryland game if you want to check out a live one this year, but you have to pay for it. I’m not into charity for lazy folk.

Someone is upset that I am technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Except for your comma usage there. Grammar Nazis with no grammar skills are the best kind of grammar Nazis.

Some parentheses or maybe a new sentence would have made all the difference. What you did is like ruining a good joke by fucking up the punchline. Stop embarrassing yourself and put some effort in, @Joshbrown.

I hate to be that guy (nm I don't) but punctuation and grammar are not the same!

He was giving me shit about my grammar in the post above. I said I hadn’t “heard” a certain term before, and he said “Good thing you read it.” That’s where the grammar remark came from.

It would sort of be like starting a football play with the WR lined up behind the D.

Flawed analogy. soccer is a continuous play game, football has defined "downs" or plays where the ball is whistled dead and restarts from a defined scrimmage around which all players must reset. Hockey would be a better comparison.

And Ree4, you're right. I'm so used to crap being thrown around I jumped the gun on the muppet thing. Kinda funny, actually.

Not really so far off. The rule also allows defenses to push up and attack. The game as is has a lot of scoring. It's about tactics and so on. That said I do like indoor but couldn't really imagine it on a full sized field. The game really would become like kick and run.

I like to smother other teams with Defense that is aggressive and used as an offense.

When a pass is made it's like a whole new offensive set. The receiver can be in full motion toward the line of scrimmage.

Kind of funny Iowa fans griping about defensive matches. KF should maybe change to soccer?
 
What I love the most about soccer is that it is shockingly hard to score in a game and in extra time when it is needed but off the charts easy to score in the PKs (teams have hit just under 80% of them so far this year) if the game isn't settled in extra time.

For the record, guys...

I don’t give two flying fucks if you like soccer...knock yourselves out if it’s your thing. I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t watch soccer or baseball or football or curling.

All I said was that I think it’s a ridiculous sport just like you think baseball sucks (which is my favorite sport). And that's okay.

My suggestion about shit-canning goalies is just my idea of what would make it watchable. You want to watch a bunch of third-world middle distance runners kick a ball back and forth in a pasture for an hour and a half, dropping like gunshot victims every time someone gets within 3 feet of them and eventually ending (thank god) in a score of 0-0 then go for it.

You enjoy your stupidity and I’ll enjoy mine. We won’t change each other’s minds.

Now that I made all you soccer hipsters “uber” pissed, let’s hear you get all butthurt and yell at me about how fat and uneducated and Americanish I am. :) I promise I won’t get offended but at least put some effort into it and make it funny. Unlike @proudhawkfan21

Soccer and hockey are death on TV. We as a society anymore don't have the patience to watch it.

I say take away the offside call in both (reeling this topic back in) and widen the goals in hockey! Having the scoring around 5-7 goals per game would be about perfect and enough offense to keep most interested.

Oh, and the whole reason to take away the offside is that, as stated above, is a continuous game compared to American football where have stoppage and sets of downs. In a continuous game if a player wants to leave early and get ahead of the other teams defense, screw offsides. Let em if they want to take that risk or chance! That chess match would be fun to watch between teams and coaches.

Soccer is my 2nd favorite sport to watch on TV as long as I have a rooting interest (although I can't watch MLS). Did you not read my post about removing offsides and how it would actually lead to fewer goals and make it even MORE boring (for you folks that already can't watch it).

I will say that I love watching hockey live. I can’t stand it on tv but my kid and I love going to Musketeers games in SC.

Have I done a bad job parenting if an 11 year old likes hockey fights?
 
I have been rooting for Russia because they have great values and a strong leader that we can learn so much from.
 
Soccer ... meh

More fake injuries than Dantonio ever could dream of.

When half the games are decided by PKs from a spot on the field where nobody in the previous 90+ minutes got one shot off ... meh.

When collective stadium groans are made over a “close” kick on goal that misses by 8 feet ... meh.

I played soccer for a year in college because it didn’t have real football. I found it boring, tedious, and filled with B-acting.

But I tune in for the WC on occasion. Belgium’s comeback vs. Japan was amazing. Germany has to have been one of the biggest gag jobs ever.

Did the US get knocked out by something called Tobaccodad & Toboggan?
