Kevbeau Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 What's a World Cup? 299839[/snapback] It's like a passport, but you wear it as a cod piece. I here starting 2007 you need one to get into Canada.
NorCal Aaron Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Young girls shouldn't be playing soccer anyway. They should be learning the skills they will need to be good wives and mothers with their free time. Cooking, sewing, gardening, skills in raising children. 299760[/snapback] Too much sarcasm or too much doobie?
Surfmeister Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I'm dead serious. If young girls spent more time preparing for married life we wouldn't have such a high divorce rate in this country. A young couple should be trained, tested and certified before being allowed to get married. And they DEFINATELY should be trained, tested and certified before being allowed to have their own children. Go to Amazon.com and look up the book >> Sibling Society by Robert Bly The guy makes a lot of valid points regarding children and parents.

Shouldn't guys not play sports too, so they can be inside training to run a business someday to support their families?

Kevbeau Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Does it rotate? 299953[/snapback] That's an option on the XLT model, along with temperature contol and corinthian leather.
MikeH Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 F-ing Soccer Moms ~ Bless Your Heart! 299760[/snapback] That statement says it all right there. I coached youth Football and Baseball for years, and never really had any problems with the parents. One year my kids wanted to try soccer, because some of their friends were playing it. Thank God they hated it and went back to Football. I've got to say, soccer parents are the worst complainers on earth. Most of them don't know squat about sports either. Of course, I shouldn't have been surprised by this, because soccer isn't really a sport anyway. Just ask George Carlin.
Surfmeister Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 DON'T put words in my mouth ! I didn't say SPORTS. Find where I said SPORTS! I said soccer. Soccer is bad enough as a "sport" but the Soccer Parents are the absolute worst !

Hardy Pyle Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Kevbeau....I believe the US just broke into the top 10 in the World FIFA rankings...but I think there is a long way to go before a world cup win in the future. But you never know, who would have predicted Greece to win the European Championships. If the cards are played right...it could happen. As for some of the other posts....Soccer is a game that you need to play from a young age and play alot since it takes alot of SKILL. It's not like football, where you can take an 18 year old basketball player and convert him to tight-end.
Surfmeister Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I know you agreed with me and I appreciate that. My post was for "Ofiba" who said I am crazy. Thank you Mike H !

Dan Gross Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Well those who complain about off-topic posts unfortunately seem to miss topics like this. Nice to see a coach getting "talked down from the ledge" by those who support what he did as good coaching.... Sorry I don't have much else more to add than that, but I've enjoyed this thread...

Then again, I never was into banging drums in the woods with guys and crying for daddy.
