The old thread was archived so I decided to start a new one.

You know a "sport" is stupid when the first point is scored with 25 minutes (or more) left in the game and the announcers start talking like the game is over.

This will go well.

Dude you are so hard core.

Time to archive this one too.

I’m pretty sure that someone cares

I am currently in London and soccer is all anyone is talking about over here.  In a bar last night watching the Portugal-Spain game and the place was going nuts.  Not a soccer fan but it was awesome atmosphere.

Now imagine watching that same game over in Portugal or Spain

Awesome game by the way.

Not a soccer guy myself. That said, I’ve never understood the need to tell everyone how much you hate something. Sorry that the most popular sport in the world isn’t your cup of tea.

I will be in Barcelona next week when they play Moraco I believe.  We will definitely watch at a bar with the locals.

you probably already know this but there are many in Barcelona who do not support the Spanish National Team (because of the Catalan's wanting their independence).

But even saying that you should find some fun bars I bet.

You do gotta love the commercials on who the US should support though? Am I right?

Finally some reason in here.

you do realize you said that to a soccer fan right?

Lol yeah, but I can appreciate when someone points out the positives.  If they're legitimate, that is.

Thanks, I had no idea.

I'm not shocked by this at all.

There is absolutely nothing to do in London, Ohio on a Friday night. 

 

[zed2283]

Was watching the World Cup and my satellite went out because of a storm. I didn't really notice.

We were fortunate enough to be visiting Spain during their 2012 Euro title run.  We were in a different city for the quarters, semi's and final (Barcelona, Madrid and Sevilla).  One of my daughters and I are big soccer fans.  My wife and other daughter couldn't care less.  But we were obviously foreigners rooting for Spain and the locals were extremely welcoming.  We were given free tapas and drinks in all 3 bars.  I'd highly recommend watching in a local bar. Great atmosphere.

 

[zed2283]

I was actually in Bogota when Colombia played against Brazil in the quarter-finals in 2014, and watched the game with a few hundred of my closest friends.  The referees were obviously bought, or maybe because Brazil was hosting they were given the benefit of the doubt on several important occasions. 

Will be in Colombia again in 2-3 weeks during the first couple of games of the knockout rounds.  I assume Colombia will make it that far so hopefully I'll get to watch a game or two while there.

Well the drunk bar girl in yoga pants is a sport we care about.

It’s more how it’s shoved down your throat by every media outlet this time of year

Don’t worry I have heard that they have recognized your complaint and will tone down the coverage next year.

C’mon man. This is no different than any other major sporting event. Remember last year when the Super Bowl came and went and you forgot it was even on? 

 

[Politician Spock]

Lacrosse is a great sport to watch.  

 

[Cjw_55106]

I hate Kent Hrbek and Fran Tarkenton

Start your own thread pal.

[Scoresman]

Please update the thread title to "No One Care About Soccer".

Need to use that backwards grammar from jolly old England for it to be a proper Soccer discussion.

Nice headbutt.

I'm offended. Now, I'm going to flop on the ground, writhing in pain until you get a red card.

Or your second yellow in as many games, causing you to miss a thread.

I was in Barcelona in 2010 when Spain won the World Cup vs. Netherlands.  My wife, son and I were in the square with >100,000 people and it was absolutely crazy.  Would have been so much more fun if he wasn't 5 years old and we weren't flying back home the next morning, but still pretty epic.

I gotta admit, I would watch this.

If they were bought, it was in favor of Colombia...

Watched the game last week and the typical racist American who reffed the game screwed Colombia.

It was great, except that I brought my nephew with me this time and so wasn't able to get into anything.
