2014 World Cup Discussion Thread


Quote:World Cup. 

 

Just like more people will watch hockey in this country in the olympics than normally. 

 

 

I know soccer fan in this country desperately wants their sport to be big time, but I just don't ever seeing it ever becoming what they hope it will. 

 

Also not sure why people in this country apparently have an identity crisis that they would rather embrace other countries traditional sports than our own. Baseball & Football have a vast tradition built here. Embrace it. 

 

 

The US - Germany game was dogmeat, flat out dogmeat. 

 

Anyone who claims otherwise is flat out lying or needs their head examined. 
Other countries embrace our sports as well. Baseball, basketball for example. What is wrong with that exactly?

Quote:All these people at the World Cup in Brazil did they buy packages to ALL the games or do they have to buy tickets to each individual game?
 

I saw somewhere that some tickets were going for 3k for this last game. 

 

I know a girl there and she was looking for tickets all the way up until today.  Not sure if she got them.

So what?  Who cares?  If you don't like soccer, keep watching golf or whatever else stupid sport keeps us entertained outside of football season.

Quote:LOL, so the US played a dogmeat game, didn't even score, and still advanced. 

 

Yay soccer! Laughing

 

 

THis sport will have a hard time reaching NHL status in this country, let alone having the pipe dream of ever passing NFL football. 
 

You will go into a soccer thread or an MMA thread and totally dog it...but if anyone goes into the baseball thread and says anything you get offended.

 

You're funny.

Yes, but you also don't usually see people in other countries having any ambition to see baseball or football become #1 in their countries over soccer.

Who said it was a good game?  Nobody.....each team knew what they had to do to move on, and thats what happened.

Golf, you mean that sport that was created in another country and adopted in the states? 

 

You are not allowed to like a sport that is predominantly favored in other countries!

Ok, it was not an exciting game... other than the fact that everything was on the line.

 

So?  Have you seen a Jaguars game lately?  They aren't the greatest either, but that doesn't mean I cant like football anymore.

Then don't watch it. I don't watch baseball because I find it mind numbingly boring to watch.

Die hard fans of the sport, sure you do. I am friends with many people who wish wrestling would become the #1 sport in the country. Why? Because they are passionate about it, love it, and want it to be what people embrace. That is far from unusual.

 

I personally think it irritates you that the sport has actually grown to the point where it is becoming relevant and mainstream.

That has Zero to do with what you were responding too, Nothing. Nothing at all, just changing the subject completely.

Because one game was bad (because of the situation) we are going to say that soccer is terrible going forward?

 

You are that guy that thinks things in the past are always better.  Baseball was Americas pasttime, and now it sucks.

At least I can admit that some baseball games can be boring....

 

Soccer fan is all uppity and can't/ won't even admit that the US/ Germany game was like watching paint dry....

Nothing to do with it. 

 

Boring is boring. 

 


There are more soccer games like the US Germany game today 1-0/ 0-0/ than there are boring baseball games.

 

Just admit that soccer is prone to very boring games. Can some of you just admit it?

Is that what you want, someone to admit some games are boring? Every sport has their boring games.

Actually the US Germany game represents the bigger point here.
