Cerebral Soccer

His comment didn't, either

Apparently you didn't get my point. My question was intended as a response implying, "No, this argument of naming a sport won't end."

BTW, the rest of the world can take their "man purses" and please step in front of the next train     TY

my mistake, "rest of the world" was wrong because they're not reading these forums. I should have said "HTC's paying customers outside the US."

Please don't encourage soccer in America,  TY  =  Disagree entirely.  It's a great sport and should be encouraged by those who enjoy it.  Those who do not, so be it.

We are not as "inclusive" as the rest of the world would like  = "We" is not all of America, in this case. Let's not make it sound that way.


BTW, the rest of the world can take their "man purses" and please step in front of the next train     T  = I'll have to agree here, as man purses (murses, if you will) are pretty lame.


God bless America  = Amen

you do realise that this french stuff just makes you look like dumb aholes to the rest of the world right?

If you are referring to my reply, I don't think so.  It's just humor.  My good friend is from France and the frog always has a joke about America and England.  And we are friends and we like good humor.

well lets turn it around, imagine that every single time the USA or americans, or anything even remotely to do with the USA was mentioned 5 people jumped in and called you "fat and stupid". think about it, on these forums that would amount to literally hundreds of "fat and stupid" remarks every single day. how long do you think that would stay funny for?

Americans are fat and stupid, so that doesn't count.

Why don't you go back to your Mountain Dew, McDonalds, and Nascar!

saying it once about yourselves is quite funny would you still find it funny after the 600th time foreigners said it about you?

I've been on boards where Americans are in the minority and hating America is far from looked down upon. Then again usually Americans on the internet don't really shy away from living up to stereotypes....


But, yeah it gets old pretty quick. Then again, I don't tell France jokes

This guy doesn't like soccer because it starts with the letter "S".. 

What letter does Stupid start with?

[druski85]

What letter does Stupid start with?

Well done, sir! Both topical and directly correlated to the fat and stupid theme.

We also don't shy away from any challenge either! Even if it is "troll baiting"

The single greatest thing that soccer (and rugby and even cricket) has over the four big US sports is real international competition and the chance every two or four years to get carried away with over-blown national jingoism.

Having the whole country grind to a halt for 90 nerve jangling minutes is something the US just doesn't get yet.

Of course, being Scottish, my knowledge of such events is rapidly becoming theoretical...

Miracle. (Though it was only 60 minutes.    ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_Ice

However for the most part I would agree.  I would also make a comment about non-sports related items here, but that would send this thread even further off track.

Wow, sounds like you're in at the wrong place and wrong time - all the time.
