... because the USMNT is playing a 'friendly' match against Mexico. Televised by FoxSports 1.

 

Lots of young guys will play in this match.

 

The matches against Mexico are always interesting.

So the penalty for waiting to do your taxes is being forced to watch kickball? Hard to imagine hating something more than the IRS but it is possible.

Don't insult the good name of kickball by comparing it to a bunch of guys mild jogging on a field, kicking a ball back and forth for 90ish (or whatever the ref decides) minutes.

Soccer's a cute little game.

My favorite part was getting orange juice and Capri Sun at halftime. And then getting in Connor's mom's minivan to go to his house and play Wii.

Soccer players should play a manly sport, like baseball. It's normally a hard fought 3-4 hour, 9 inning game. They've got to worry about getting splinters from spending 50% of the game sitting on their asses. When they're on the field, they have to fight off sleep while the pitcher does everything. When they do get a ball hit toward them, they might have to take a few steps to get it and then throw it back. You have to swing a bat like 12-15 times a game. Arms get tired. They have to be in peak psychical condition, no fatties.

 

There are some perks though. They get to fondle each others asses quite frequently throughout the game, which is cool, if you like that sort of thing. They get to chew tobacco during the game, orange slices are for pu$$ies who actually exert themselves. They also get to wear cool makeup under their eyes.

I love how the goalies get to wear their own special colored jerseys. And the ads on the jerseys, really show the integrity of the sport. And real men pretend to be hurt to get an advantage in a game.

 

I'm not saying soccer players aren't in good shape, I'm just saying it's boring to watch from a spectator point of view. The Canadians saw the potential in the sport. But shortened the playing field, got sticks, replaced the ball with a puck, and put it on ice.

Why'd you have to bring basketball in to this?

Happens much more frequently in soccer. And the NBA is actually doing something about it.

False. Every time a player gets touched, whether it be on a shot or a turnover, they cry foul and wince. It is much worse in the NBA, and it's not even close.

I enjoy watching soccer. But there are two rule changes that I think would improve the sport, especially at pro level:

 

1. Intentional diving should result in a direct free kick for the first offense, and PK for subsequent offenses. Would serve as a deterrent, and incidentally up the scoring for those who dig that.

 

2. More transparency on how much injury time is allotted. Players & spectators have a right to know when the game is going to end. It doesn't really make a difference to me if the timeclock counts up, with additional time added as needed, or counts down, NFL-style, with "time added back onto the clock" as needed.

Mickey Mouse called. He said he wants his ridiculous looking gloves back.

So kickball sucks slightly less than basketball? There's a win.

Nothing more manly than covering less than 4 miles in 90 minutes plus "my vagina was extra leaky" time. Amirite?
