Murdoch Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well americans use the wrong word. Germany is in the lead at the moment. A shame really, US played really well the first 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Seph Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Originally posted by Jedi7k7 soccer is the stupidest sport ever created next to ..well nothing.... It is terrible! TERRIBLE! I bet your American. Football is the greatest sport ever due to the fact its THE universal game. Everyone from every country plays it. It is more a Religion than a sport now a days. It is sooooooooooo big a sport it cant be true. It will never ever die. No other sport in thw world can compeat with football. The market destroys any other market for any other sport. The World Cup is the biggest Tournament in history and puts every other countries Pride at stake. No other tournament does that on this level.

QuietSith Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Gotta love how sports foster racism, bigotry, and ethnic rivalry. If they want world peace they should get rid of these stupid international sporting events and dump the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_W Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 What's wrong with you Americans. Listen, we made you people so at least have the decency to speak the language we gave you properly. (And just to be clear, the war was going fine without you) Since I live in Wales I wasn't supporting England, and frankly, if the English actually thought they matched up to Brazil, then they deserve more of a beating than they got.

StormHammer Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Okay, let's not start any international wars over this. First of all, there were native Americans already living in the Americas before the Europeans arrived - yes, Europeans. As I recall there were French, Spanish and British fighting over the land...and people from many other countries arrived later to settle down. So there has always been very much a mix of languages and cultures. Any remarks about speaking the English language properly are probably pointless, because it's a mish-mash of words from a variety of cultures, again from across Europe, and is noted for being one of the most difficult languages to learn, according to some educational study they conducted across Europe. I think Esperanto came out top for being easiest to learn... Anyway, as far as football goes, I'm not a fan. Good luck to whoever wins...but I just despair at the phenomenon it has become, and people who are grossly overpaid for whacking a piece of leather into a net. Bring back the heads in leather sacks, I say. (j/k ). I actually prefer the Olympics...it's more of an individual endeavour to challenge your personal abilities - at least, it used to be. The smell of big money has the nasty habit of turning simple friendly competition into some kind of national us against them scenario that usually ends in ugliness. Anyway, no need to start trading insults...and Jedi7k7, please stop shouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Ah. Looks like stormhammers had to read far to many of thease threads. They always end up the same. I'm a bit worried about Lime-Light though, does he really think the UK is an Evil Empiretm ? We founded democracy, banned slavery 50 years before the US and created the legal systems that 80% of the world uses. Plus we invented televison, telephones, the car, trains and jelly babies (but not the nuclear bomb). It's a bit unfair to brand us as an Evil Empiretm, but we did have an Empire. And we are a happy commonwealth now. Ask Canada. People dont think that we are evil do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Warrior Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Why do the americans call 'FOOTBALL' (a game that predominantly involves kicking the ball) soccer? Why do Americans call American Football, football anyway? they only kick the ball every now and then and you are penalised if you kick the ball at anytime other than a punt? I think the good old Americans should use their brain and change the name of thier game to 'Even more boring Rugby' how can a game that has soooo many stoppages be fun?. Don't even get me started on the so-called world series, yeah that really is an international event?!?!?!? Damn it felt good to vent that. Peace to u All!!!

The Greeks developed the concept of Democracy, An Italian dude invented the phone (however he didnt get it patented) sorry to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
