CentralVaBills Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Damn. 375313[/snapback] Why in the hell are you trying to become a fan of soccer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBusBillsFan Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I have friends that play soccer and I try to watch it but I just can't get into it. I understand how fit you have to be to play soccer, but everytime I see a soccer player take a dive and roll on the grass trying to get a more severe card just turns me off from the game. It's also another one of those sports that are great live, but suck on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I guess you never got drilled with a free kick moving 80 mph. I did, right in the face, and I'll tell you it hurts. Ever been kicked hard in the legs, or the back of the ankle? That's definately not a great feeling. Soccer players aren't as whimpy as you think! My mom was a nurse for 35 years, 17 in the ER and 18 as head of the receovery room (post surgery), and she said the work sports injuries she ever saw always came from soccer. 7 knee surgeries from the sport. Takes a heavy toll. Soccer is a great sport but if its not your cup of tee, don't watch. There's always something else on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Well - much as I want to support soccer I can't... I'll watch - it's my national game - but I wont go out of my way to watch it like I would Football... Then again - you lot will never experience anything like being in the crowd at Wembly Stadium to watch England play... or gathered round TVs watching another vain attempt to win the World Cup... Actually there are two things that would have me UTTERLY JUBILANT in this world: 1. A Bills Superbowl win. I would cry and be sick. 2. An England World Cup win. I would cry and be sick. I have tears at the thought of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Soccer is great. Not much fun to watch for people who never played or have not been involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 what do you think of cricket? 375431[/snapback] Have never seen or watched, and the from what I hear the Brits do not exactly love it either. However, it remains popular due to the fact it takes all day to play, the wives do not like to go, and the men view it as an all day drunk fest with the fellas!!!!

Bill from NYC Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Damn. 375313[/snapback] Want to become a soccer fan? Come to Astoria, NY when Brazil is playing or Jackson Heights, NY when Argentina or Colombia is playing in the World Cup, and feast your eyes on some of the foxiest women on this planet. The streets and bars are filled. The games are in the summer and many of them wear next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
