anyone see that footballette on FOOTBALL AM last saturday.
tidy mate. Leeds fan.
although she looks like a Crow in this fotie.
Reason #2....Those fake soccer injuries. I never understood how a guy can be on the ground in such pain that he needs two men to help him off the field, but then during the next stoppage he's back running around like nothing happened.
i.e. [Late in the game, Italy star Roberto Baggio, a guy who in his pro career makes millions of dollars a year, gets kicked in the shins and falls down. Clutching his leg, he rolls around wailing on the pitch for a while until the referee comes over, then plays it up a little more, appearing-to the untrained eye, anyway-to be literally CRYING with pain. Impressed, the referee pulls a yellow card out of his pocket: penalty, Chile! Satisfied, Baggio gets up and trots off happily down the field, obviously unhurt. He went on later to score the game-tying goal on a cheap penalty shot.]

it's called histrionics. one of the most entertaining things about watching football. though apparently people tend to see it as an incitement to beat each other up. never understood why people can't just watch the fucking game and leave it at that. it's just a diversion, you know.

Shite pic, Jak. Am assuming she had pins up to her pits to compensate?! 
Reason # 3.....I've never seen Manchester City win a game whenever cable shows them play. I route for them, I don't know why, maybe because there not United...and they never seem to win.

that's real life!
Reason #4...Penalty Cards. They even inspired Richard Simmons to use them in his diet system.

Apparently you've never played the game then.

Perhaps the reason you hate 'soccer' and France for that matter is because you know absolutely nothing about them.
Reason #6...Soccer player haircuts.
Somebody should tell these "guys" that just because you tapdance with a ball for 90 minutes it's not an excuse to get your haircut to look like an idiot. Soccer fans, you know what I mean.
For the love of God, people, never ever get a soccer haircut.

They won the 'Don't lie to the UN' game a couple of years back, US got the wooden spoon.
....and all the oil! Which, I am in no way condoning. Honest. Whether it's oil for food, UN kickbacks, bribery,...wait a second...this is beginning to sound like the Italian soccer league!
Soccer is too slow for me, like American football. I'm more of a baseball and basketball type of person.
