Soccer

I drop that ish on every landscaper I meet.  that and:

fuego y muerta a las casas de los ricas

(forgive my spelling, I'm sure it's awful)

Today's result brings to mind one reason I thing soccer is great, and why most Americans can't get it:

a draw is meaningful.

the nuance of a result that does not present a black or white, win or lose, is something that Americans simply cannot accept in a fundamental way.

our friend vigy serves as the typical American in this case:  everything for him is either top ten or worst ever.  if you don't win, you are a piece of shtein loser, etc.

uhm..yeah.  in Disneyland that may be the case, but not in life.

Like I wrote in the other thread...US just increased their chances of advancing to the next stage by 1000. It was going to be a tough hill to climb with a loss still having to face a top ranked team in Slovenia.

Nice job by the gringos.

[Diomedes]

gracias.

also...Green should be careful..he's likely to suffer an attempt on his life before too long.  what a gaffe

[Don Ho]

Who was that dude that ended up being killed in 1994 after he scored the own goal to allow the US to beat Colombia?

[Diomedes]

Some farging Columbian, I forget his name.  That had more to do with drug cartels than with soccer, iirc.

[phattymatty]

yeah that goalie is done.  but farg it, that was awesome.

Hey Chuggie...and Dio...how about you two dolts read what I wrote.

I don't hate it, nitwits.

[Diomedes]

Not talking to or about you, limpdick.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well Chuggie quotes me and then you jumped in. Forgive me, princess.

[hbionic]

Sorry Phreak....I meant to quote the Soccer lover Munson.

I'll change it.

[hbionic]

Fixed.

Continue having your admiration for the World Cup grow Phreak. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

lol..all good.

Thanks buddy!

[Munson]

Well...I'd rather watch soccer than IGY's Top 10 Movies of all time.
