Seriously. Soccer fans. Explain the logic of "stoppage time" and why it's a mystery to the players and the fans.

Daedra posted:bomb belgium if we lose If we Americans had any skill at geography, you'd bet that would be the first option on the table. Those fuckers put mayo on fries, correctamundo? That's enough to whip us Yanks up into a killbombing frenzy. Honestly though, I kinda like soccer but the players need to take a page from pro wrasslin' and at least make their injuries/writhing around on the ground look at least plausible and/or halfway realistic. As it is, they all look like a bunch of weenie crybabies that the local grade school soccer team would bulldoze over.

Back in my youthful, soccer-playing days, I can't remember all of the times I was: a) Slightly injured by getting tripped and skinning an arm or leg due to collision with the ground, and getting grass stains as a result. b) getting a rash from those lame shin guards. c) bonking a soccer ball with my head and realizing, 'Jesus Christ, this is the gayest game ever'.

I assume you're all watching Argentina vs. Switzerland since the winner is who you will play next if you beat the Belgians? Surprisingly Switzerland are looking the tastier of the two sides and might just win it (it's extra time at the moment) and you do not want to face the Argies.

Something that most of the world enjoy has an international tournament literally only once every four years and even though I am under no obligation to watch it whatsoever it annoys me that people get to enjoy the thing they like a bit more for a few weeks!

So long as baseball is a professional sport you can't really expect anyone to take you complaints about soccer seriously.

The only reason Americans hate soccer is because we put no effort into getting good at it and now we suck.

That said Maradona followed this directly with pretty much the goal of the century. Basically what I'm saying is don't underestimate them sure Maradona's a washed up coke fiend now but now they got Messi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF_2arqQLwo
