gmac17 Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I agree they look like pansies, but I dare you to sit in front of a ball going 100mph without flinching.....

bobblehead Posted July 6, 2005 Author Posted July 6, 2005 sit in front of a ball 375315[/snapback] That's not my thing, I like girls. Thanks anyway.
SilverNRed Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Damn. 375313[/snapback] Exactly why I don't even try to become a fan.
CentralVaBills Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Damn. 375313[/snapback] Why in the hell are you trying to become a fan of soccer?
CBusBillsFan Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I have friends that play soccer and I try to watch it but I just can't get into it. I understand how fit you have to be to play soccer, but everytime I see a soccer player take a dive and roll on the grass trying to get a more severe card just turns me off from the game. It's also another one of those sports that are great live, but suck on TV.
KRT88 Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I guess you never got drilled with a free kick moving 80 mph. I did, right in the face, and I'll tell you it hurts. Ever been kicked hard in the legs, or the back of the ankle? That's definately not a great feeling. Soccer players aren't as whimpy as you think! My mom was a nurse for 35 years, 17 in the ER and 18 as head of the receovery room (post surgery), and she said the work sports injuries she ever saw always came from soccer. 7 knee surgeries from the sport. Takes a heavy toll. Soccer is a great sport but if its not your cup of tee, don't watch. There's always something else on!
nick in* england Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Well - much as I want to support soccer I can't... I'll watch - it's my national game - but I wont go out of my way to watch it like I would Football... Then again - you lot will never experience anything like being in the crowd at Wembly Stadium to watch England play... or gathered round TVs watching another vain attempt to win the World Cup... Actually there are two things that would have me UTTERLY JUBILANT in this world: 1. A Bills Superbowl win. I would cry and be sick. 2. An England World Cup win. I would cry and be sick. I have tears at the thought of both.
diver Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Soccer is great. Not much fun to watch for people who never played or have not been involved.
plenzmd1 Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Thought the same thing until I saw a game in one of the old stadiums in England. Saw`Ashton Villa play in their home "pitch', man what an experience. Makes ya wish for the Aud, the old Forum, Maple Leaf Gardens etc.

plenzmd1 Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 what do you think of cricket? 375431[/snapback] Have never seen or watched, and the from what I hear the Brits do not exactly love it either. However, it remains popular due to the fact it takes all day to play, the wives do not like to go, and the men view it as an all day drunk fest with the fellas!!!!
nick in* england Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 what do you think of cricket? 375431[/snapback] bert - is that you? from nfluk.com?? Cricket rocks. Hope we win the Ashes and beat down on those cocky Ozzies.

Next time any of you are in England I'll take you to a Cricket Match... It's superb.
Bill from NYC Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Damn. 375313[/snapback] Want to become a soccer fan? Come to Astoria, NY when Brazil is playing or Jackson Heights, NY when Argentina or Colombia is playing in the World Cup, and feast your eyes on some of the foxiest women on this planet. The streets and bars are filled. The games are in the summer and many of them wear next to nothing.

You would like to see England win the Cricket World Cup at least once, having made it to the finals 3 times and losing all the 3 times...
