How many times has this happened to you guys? I go to a high school that gives no support to soccer, only football, baseball, and basketball. We actually had a few football players (american football players) call us (coaches included) pussies because we didnt play a real man's sport.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Where do I start....
Oh and I apologize on behalf of America to Europe, we shouldnt have stolen the name football for our crappy sport.

Move to Europe
or try NASCAR racing. There's nothing pussy about 180 mph, 3 cars wide, banked racing pushing the other wanker into a concrete wall.
Is this considered a redneck sport amongst high school studnets of the U.S ?
Is it hard for a someone just finishing school to get into the busch series
or sprint carts & possibly become rookies in the Nextel (ex. Winston) cup ?

well if they think you are a pussy invite them to come to pratice. make sure you slide tackle them and hit them and put your body on them. dont give them an easy time. go full match strengh on them. also take cheap shots... they dont know what a foul is.

Just go for their shins and/or ankles - make sure your studs dig RIGHT into that flesh ! Don't forget to "elbow" a head or two (make sure they feel a slight skull crack - seeing some of their OWN blood run down their faces wouldn't be too bad either !).

It's pretty much a univeral theme throughout the USA.
It will take years for soccer to become "accepted". The MLS is helping, but only because kids who play soccer actually want to see local teams play. The AYSO actually holds clinics, etc, at the Home Depot Center.
So hopefully these youths will grow up liking and supporting soccer. Because after all, it's really only the kids that play soccer, most older youths eihter play football, basketball, or baseball.

... and it MAY be just a game to you and I - but there's a whole lot at stake and plenty more MONEY involved for those who are out there ... a game to us means "livelihood" to them.
P.S. You should also learn that there's various kinds and degrees of humor (i.e. satyrical, sarcastic, caustic, ironic, synical, sharp, comical, witty, etc. etc. etc.) - so lighten up and quit getting your panties in a twist ...

GP > I still can't get used to the idea of how some men over here in the States, consider SOCCER/FOOTBALL as a "pussy's game" ... I get quite ticked off when I hear them talking down about it ... at least I've managed to sway my husband around - he, like most of them, never knew what the game involved, the rules, how it's played, positions etc. etc. - during the Euro 2004 we sat down to watch some games (most of which we had to friggin PAY for !!! grrrrrrrrr) - but he finally found the sport to be interesting and at times very exciting ...
...... so, I guess it's up to us to do what we can to turn a few more around !
Anyway, it's a tough game - and soccer players don't get weighed down by all that PAMPERS PADDING !!! LOL

I think most of you are thinking with your hearts,I can see how some people would say soccer is a pussies game,and I'm a big fan of soccer myself. Soccer is easily the greatest sport on the planet,but it's far from perfect,when players stop diving,overacting and rolling around on the ground like rivaldo at the last world cup,maybe then it will lose this label of being a pussies game,but the play acting seems to be getting even more widespread,decades ago it was something only the latin nations would do,now it happens in every country on the planet. I'm sure there are people who will defend this by saying it's part of the game,well cheating and acting like a wuss should'nt be part of any game,let alone the greatest game.

Actually here in the USA, we arent called pussies for that reason. Most of the people who think soccer is a sissy sport are surely enough american football players. We get called pussies because they think that because they play a sport that involves tackling other people, they're men. They call us pussies because they dont think soccer can be rough. According to them, all you do in soccer is "kick a ball around". It has nothing to do with the way we act or the fact that our women's NT is better than our men's

LanceSuckBalls (or whatever your damn name is), you really dont know anything about soccer/european football do you? Therefore, you call us pussies just because from what you know about soccer, we dont get hurt. Hmmmm....Ive seen 2 people run straight into each other, they hit each other forhead to forhead, faces hit first, as FAST AS THEY COULD (one of them would have gone straight to the hospital, but fortunately his coach knew first aid). Now in american football, that doesnt hurt too bad because you guys wear helmets. Us soccer players wear very little protection, no face guards or anything like that. Believe me, we have alot of moments of bodily contact, usually resulting in someone hitting the ground very roughly.
I hope your not angry LanceSuckBalls, but I would love to participate in that beating. Trust me, ill beat your ass much worse than any other american football game you've played through.

LANCESUCKSBALLS SOCCER FOR DUMBASSES!!!!!!!--------
Put on very short and tight shorts with even tighter shirts. Kick a little ball into a HUGE net.
Tell me how 5 goals in one game is like a miracle, because only queers and jews play soccer, thats why.
And guess what guys, you know why our women team is better then our men NT, its because our real men are out playing real men sports like the NFL, NBA, MLB you pansies. And our women have freedom and rights and dont have to hide their faces and dont spend their lives getting screwed by everyone in the country and popping out kids all day and then complain they got no food.

Once again,
Pussy this pussy that ... i mean if you took half the time it took u to write all the crap u just wrote and actually analyzed the sport ur so hellbent on condemning ud actually learn something.
Sports like NBA, NFL, MLB(A sport that requires the patience of a 60yr old) are all good sports in their own rights mind u. but lets be honest,
Superbowl -- Who remembers what teams played in the rest of the world, all that comes to mind is Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson.
NBA -- Who in the rest of the world knows anything about the final 7 games other than Kobe is under prosecution for rape charges. Other than Michael Jordan who is a great athelete in his own right.
MLB -- Who knows anything lol and to be honest, im surprised u even put baseball in as a real sport. its a waiting game, when was the last time u watched Nine Innings Straight without falling asleep or getting up to go do soemthing else?
Football -- Granted we arent popular in America but the rest of the world knows the sport, we have ppl like Beckham(for once i actualyl applaud the idiot) and great players like Maradonna and Pele.
Another thing i really dont understand is why they call these things World Series this and World Series that.... i mean ur playing in ur own country.
Take a little lesson from your European/S.American/Asian/Australian fellow sportsmen and name your competitions as they should be National Championships.
Not demeaning the level of fitness these atheletes go thru but u cant say that an american football player is more of a man than a Footy player or heavenforbid u say that a baseball player is a bigger athelete than a footy palyer.
Add a little bit of constructive thinking to your otherwise entertaining posts.

Patience of a 60 year old, lets think, an NFL QB has like 2 seconds to scan the whole field and make up his mind on who to throw to before a 350 pound monster breaks his neck.
About the Super Bowl- the only people who remeber Janet and Justin are sex crazed lunatics and people that done follow football.
MLB- i watched a 9-inning game last night Baltimore vs New York thank you very much.
Soccer- David Beckham is a bigger fag then Lance Armstrong, he isnt even good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! neither is Manchester United and those other queers.
About the fitness- you say baseball is a waiting game- what is SOCCER, you just jog around. And about soccer players being fit, baseball players are more fit then soccer players. Look at guys like Sammy Sosa- have you seen his guns lately, half of the players in MLB could kick every soccer players ass anytime. They're nothing but skinny freaks who run and kick a ball around for 90 minutes and dont even score 95% of the time.

07-30-2004, 08:57 PM
Lance, you're a ***kin idiot dude.
How do you say what we wear is gay? NBA players where short pants and sleeveless shirts, thats LESS than what soccer players wear. American Football players wear SKIN TIGHT pants, oh and SKIN TIGHT shirts. Baseball players, well, sorta wear stuff normal.
Hmmmm...Sammy Sosa having huge guns...Isnt it funny how all the big stars in the MLB are accused of steriods and other performance enhancing drugs?
And my god...baseball players requiring better shape than soccer players. Im going to assume you've never played soccer. In baseball, you sprint to base, from base to base. Hmmm...all that can take up to 2 mins if you hit a home run. Otherwise, it takes about 11 seconds to sprint from base to base. Now lets look at soccer. Unless your the goalie, you can sprint on average of maybe 30 mins per half. If you're a midfielder, chances are you'll spend that entire half running. Seriouslly, how the hell can you say baseball players are in better shape than soccer players?
And baseball is a waiting game. You can be in the outfield and stand around for hours waiting for a ball to be hit your way. Just waiting and waiting. In soccer, only the goalie has to wait, and he gets plenty of action when the ball is on his side of the field. And if your not the goalie, you use your brain to mark the man you're assigned to and cut off his angles of scoring.
You're gonna say all soccer players do is kick a ball around? We dribble, slide tackle, trip n push, head the ball, chest the ball, and run our asses off. In baseball, all you do is throw and catch a ball, do a little running, and maybe slide to base.
Just shut the ***k up and think before you speak.

wow,
ill say uve got some good points there, but as mentioned above in the post before this,
with the exception of basketball, which of the other two sports doesnt take a break after each play? i mean u have two seconds to make a decision about throwing a ball sure it takes skill but what happens after u throw the ball, u spend about 15 seconds or more deciding the next play? lol
u have a guy in the booth telling u what ur coach thinks u should do next. its a drone sport and yes they may make a decision now and then but with sports like soccer its thinking all the time. ur coach isnt on ur ass or in ur helmet telling u what needs to be done 24/7 he just tells u to stop making an idiot of urself and get ur job done. lol as for the point i was making about the NFL, i was talking about the rest of the world lol since we are talking abotu a world sport.
and i have loads of american friends who tell me that the best part of a baseball game is the first and last innings anything inbetween is just that an inbetween.
once again, i know it hurts when u think but trust me its worth the pain.

A History Lesson for LANCESUCKSBALLS:
American Football was started buy a bunch of overweight middle aged smoking Americans, they realized that they lacked the physical prowess (that even third world country's possess) to play European Football. That being said, they decided that they'd start up a new sport, call it football (the name they chose was as creative as the game itself) and see what happens..
It just so happens that American Football is a hybrid of Rugby and womens Field Hockey... with lots of men touching each others butts in locker rooms, and bending over and reaching through each others legs to touch a ball that was traditionally was inserted in the anus of the American Football player per say.
American Football was plagued by injuries in the early days, not that it mattered, as severe concussions were not really noticable off the field because even when the players weren't playing, they tended to drool alot and grunt at each other.
But, bleeding heart liberals decided that it would be in the best interest of the populace if these players where protected, so along came the Helmet, Shoulder pads and so on an so forth.. minimal protection was left off of the gluteal area (that means butt) so that the players could still enjoy the massive amounts of anal groping they had become so accustomed to.
The game itself is pretty hard to follow, because, those who created it didn't posses the rational faculty's needed to create a logical and organized game, they decided a game where people just ran into each other would suffice, and as long as a coach held a clip-board with random squiggly lines, people would think there where rules.
The game itself was played in what is known as a 'bowl'. In order to understand why a stadium was referred to as a 'BOWL' you must understand the mindset of the Architects themselves. The Architects who designed the stadiums where American Football fans themselves, and not possesing the intellectual capacity to remember a complex term like a stadium, used analagous terms from thier childhood.. like a bowl. Because, to them, all a stadium was, was a giant bowl!
One of the great mystery's of the sport is exactly how these .. 'simple' American Football loving Architects managed to get engineering degree's and let alone tie thier own shoes.. A&E is currently doing a documentary on this..
(there was a problem with Architects tending to include the name of thier favorite cereal with the 'BOWL' suffix, needless to say, this sort of free sponsorship was out of the question!)
During this time, European Football was coming into it's own element, with the great REAL MADRID team of the 1950's - 1960's. But Americans tended to be an introspective society and didn't really care what the rest of the world was doing... (until they got attacked by Al Qaeda, then they just started bombing and invading any arab country that ended with -AQ or
-STAN).
If we compare the physique of the most important player in an American Football team, the quarter back, you'll notice that they tend to be slim guys who can run really fast and hold good pace, in fact, they tend to look like soccer players.. while you don't see any soccer players that look like a giant fat bodied American Football player. (except Ronaldo, but he's working on that)...
So to make a long story short, American Football started because of a bunch of fat white guys who where too out of shape to play soccer.

The game itself is pretty hard to follow, because, those who created it didn't posses the rational faculty's needed to create a logical and organized game, they decided a game where people just ran into each other would suffice, and as long as a coach held a clip-board with random squiggly lines, people would think there where rules.
The game itself was played in what is known as a 'bowl'. In order to understand why a stadium was referred to as a 'BOWL' you must understand the mindset of the Architects themselves. The Architects who designed the stadiums where American Football fans themselves, and not possesing the intellectual capacity to remember a complex term like a stadium, used analagous terms from thier childhood.. like a bowl. Because, to them, all a stadium was, was a giant bowl!
One of the great mystery's of the sport is exactly how these .. 'simple' American Football loving Architects managed to get engineering degree's and let alone tie thier own shoes.. A&E is currently doing a documentary on this..
(there was a problem with Architects tending to include the name of thier favorite cereal with the 'BOWL' suffix, needless to say, this sort of free sponsorship was out of the question!)
During this time, European Football was coming into it's own element, with the great REAL MADRID team of the 1950's - 1960's. But Americans tended to be an introspective society and didn't really care what the rest of the world was doing... (until they got attacked by Al Qaeda, then they just started bombing and invading any arab country that ended with -AQ or
-STAN).
If we compare the physique of the most important player in an American Football team, the quarter back, you'll notice that they tend to be slim guys who can run really fast and hold good pace, in fact, they tend to look like soccer players.. while you don't see any soccer players that look like a giant fat bodied American Football player. (except Ronaldo, but he's working on that)...
So to make a long story short, American Football started because of a bunch of fat white guys who where too out of shape to play soccer.
Xonic, that was genius..
Even tho I liked football you sort of put a crack on my interest in it.
BTW the only quarterback who can compare with a good soccer player is Michael Vick.

sorry katerina,you have to admit that what you wrote was pretty disturbing. its hard to tell when someone is just joking around. i guess you wrote that one on your time of the month huh?
LOL ! Actually, no ! it wasn't "that time of the month" ... it was during a break from re-decorating and painting - maybe the spray and paint fumes got to me :) (like right now - I'm painting the bathroom and taking a break from the fumes again !).

sOCCER PLAYERS ARE PUSSIES. WHY NOT PLAY A REAL MANS SPORT LIKE AMERICAN FOOTBALL WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET HURT WHILE IN THE PROCESS. GOLF IS MORE OF A MANLY SPORT THEN "SOCCER" THE HOMOSEXUAL QUEER OF THE SPORTS WORLD.

A History Lesson for LANCESUCKSBALLS:
American Football was started buy a bunch of overweight middle aged smoking Americans, they realized that they lacked the physical prowess (that even third world country's possess) to play European Football. That being said, they decided that they'd start up a new sport, call it football (the name they chose was as creative as the game itself) and see what happens..
It just so happens that American Football is a hybrid of Rugby and womens Field Hockey... with lots of men touching each others butts in locker rooms, and bending over and reaching through each others legs to touch a ball that was traditionally was inserted in the anus of the American Football player per say.
American Football was plagued by injuries in the early days, not that it mattered, as severe concussions were not really noticable off the field because even when the players weren't playing, they tended to drool alot and grunt at each other.

In Australia soccer is viewed as a sport for "sheilas, wogs and poofters" because the real "men" play AFL, a barbaric sport which requires very little skill.

Well american football may be started the way you like, but how it is now is a very complex sport, very tactical. Is not as you guys think, a bunch of fat men with helmets smashing each other, is way more than that, before criticizing something you should do some research and make a point of view yourself, not just assume the position of the majority.

Sure, we can start a discussion about Canada, but when you think about it, Canada is pretty much a nuetral democracy with open immigration policies. We have a great multi-cultural society, 2 official languages (altho, people speak english in english provinces, and french in Quebec mostly), lots of territory / land, great wildlife parks and loads of natural resources.
The main thing Canada has going for it is, we're not American, we're the way the world thinks American's should be, laid back*, polite*, happy*, peaceful* people.

also in baseball the world seris is played only in america and only by American teams. there alot of Chinesse and Japanesse baseball sides. Why dont they invite them to play

cuz we're americans, and as Xonic said, we dont care about the rest of the world until they attack us. Hence why soccer/football isnt big here. Its quite sad :(

Why is the World Series even called that? Why don't they play like the World Cup versus other countries not national teams that what justify World Series. If thats not going to happen then call it the National Series. I would like to see the Yankees versus a team in Republica Dominicana or Mexico, but then there would be no Yankees since most of the players are from there so I guess it would be impossible for this to happen. Oh well!!!!! :evil:

lol. but that is if he is re-elected
LOL. In NZ soccer players are very discriminated. We didn't even get governmental sporting funding when the largest amount of kids play soccer. Lots of ppl are coming to play soccer because they get wasted up playing big Polynesians in rugby. Getting smashed every Saturday isn't fun. Rugby in New Zealand: Fast becoming an immigrant sport, even the national team. Soccer in New Zealand: Healthy, strong and lots of people playing but not recognised.

Soccer is NOT a real sport BECAUSE it wasn't invented by an AMERICAN

WOW. You're even worse at arguing than LanceSucksBalls.
Dude, you picked a sport where nearly everything is fake and staged. All wrestling is a bunch of guys in skin tight underwear grabbing on to each other. And yes, everything is staged. Like Wrestlemania 3, the biggest wrestling event ever in 93', Andre the Giant had agreed to go down.
Think before you show off your low intellectual level.

soccer isnt about scoring, sure u cant win unless you score, but its about the love of the game. I love football i watch it all the time, i always go to baseball games, basketball...well i jsut hate that crap. Soccer is my favorite sport, its amazing. Whether anyone want s to admit it or not it takes a very athletic person to play, not jsut anyone can do it. It also takes someone who cares about that game and what it represents. i challenge anyone who thinks soccer is a pussy sport or anyone who calls soccer players "grass fairies" to a game, i bet you wont even last the first 10 minutes. ive done this to my friends who dont believe me and they wont last for shit. i always out run them and out score them simply because they dont play. its like ne sport, if you dont play your not good. so for those of you who love soccer than god bless you and the game, but if you dont, well stop sayin shit unless you've played and seen how it really is. P.S. see how it feels to get slide tackled right in the friggin leg, bet you wont like it.

08-27-2004, 06:47 AM
all but the part about goin to baseball games I agree with you on.
It does take a very athletic person and one who's in great shape to play soccer. You'll never see a fat-bodied american football player running around playing soccer, nor a baseball player who spends most of the game standing in the outfield waiting for that hit to come his way. When people call me a pussy cuz in soccer (because according to them "no one gets hurt, all you do is kick a ball around"), id love to slide tackle them and nearly break someone's leg doing it...great fun.

Ok I'm always told by the guys and girls that soccer is for gay people, weak ppl, or something like that. They don't know the skill and focus it takes. And if their saying that it shows you how mature they are which is about the equavilant of a 2-3 year old... Just ignore them but a little kick or punch doesn't hurt you too bad every once n a while.

Throughout my high school and college carrers years ago, soccer wasn't that popular. But now it is, I mean not being racist or anything, but Nascar, American Football and that crap is just really stupid. They all use padding that is about a foot thick. Just stupid sports, I mean everyone knows soccer/football is the most dominant sport for the rest of the world.

anyone who says soccer is for pussies should try playing the game sometime. running full out for 45 minutes with few stops. football you play for a few seconds then stop. a 3 hour game with about 15 min of actual playing. soccer is probably the most physically demanding sport.
