It's almost Mark Twain, great satire ;)

Basically, from what I could work out, this soccer is just American football for studmuffins. It’s a no contact sport (no contact while the ball is in play anyway; afterwards it’s seems to be all the players can do to keep their hands off each other) and it’s so sappy that they don’t even need to wear helmets or body armor.
It seems to me to be nothing more than a way for liberal propagandists to fill television screens around the world with unholy man-love and to promote the idea that Brazilians are actually good at something other than living in slums and voting in Communist rulers. (Brazil always seem to win the “World Cup”, although I’m led to believe that this means nothing as the whole thing is fixed by the mafia).
Pretty much nailed it.
Do the godless heathen baby-eating russian players have cossak hats and wear red??

Actually, American football is Rugby for studmuffins. Dressing up in body armor and helmet for a ball game *lol*
:p

Do guys play soccer too? Learn something new every day.

Heh... you wouldn't say that to a Super 14 forward pack. Not only are they big... they are also atheletic.
Take this guy, hes on my local team (Wellington team - Hurricanes):
(http://www.allblacks.co.nz/portraits/1450.jpg)
Player: Jason Eaton
Position: Lock
Born: 21/08/1982 Palmerston North
Physical: 107kg, 202m
Tests: 3
Test Points: 0
ANZC Team: Taranaki
Super 14 Team: Hurricanes
Bumped into him on the street, not only is he freakin big, hes fast, hes strong, he can play an 80 minute virtually uninterrupted game.
Then theres the guy whos nicknamed granite:
(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40515000/jpg/_40515933_charvtackle_ap_203.jpg)
Position: Blindside Flanker
Born: 04/11/1980 Apia, Samoa

Tests: 29
Test Points: 5
(1t)
Test Debut: 23/06/2001 v Argentina at Christchurch
ANZC Team: Wellington
Super 14 Team: Hurricanes
Hes called granite because his tackles are so solid theres been a more than few guys knocked unconcious (Seriously). Once again a full 80 minute player. (the pic is of Jerry knocked out a welsh player called Collin Jarvis).

My kid is 6'2 and 250... he does bench press reps with 350lbs and played football... If those studmuffins tried to tackle him he would just drag both of em another 5 yards or so.... if they didn't knock themselves unconcious trying that is.

So he's a mutant then. Good for him.
But lazs, you are full of it. If you tackle someone properly you grab both their legs. Doesn't matter how big you are...you go down.
To quote Bob Marley "If you are a big tree...we have a small axe."
-
well then curval... perhaps you could teach the guys who tried to tackle him... or better yet... demonstrate.
It would be especially amusing (to me anyway) for you to give the demonstration right after you told him that he was a mutant.
he has been known to go to bermuda... I think I will tell him that you are mean to me. and wear pink shorts and ride a moped..

lol
Oh no...I'm being threatened. "My son can beat you up".
He's probably squash me if "I" tried to do it....but I'll tell you what...I have a number of friends who play rugby. Next time he is in Bermuda I'd be happy to set up a wee test. I actually was wrong in referring to him as a mutant...6'2" and 250 isn't all that big. Compared to me...sure, but compared to the guys I am thinking of its about normal.
Post when he's coming and I'll PM my phone number.

In football, the sort of tackles Lazs is talking about would elicit this response.

We have no such penalty marker in football.

That was good Boroda, I just read it.
The best are the comments by all the people who couldn't see that it was actually "humor".
They sure get their panties in a bunch. Pretty funny.

He wouldn't last a half in soccer (Football). You're off yer rocker if you think so. Bench press means nothing in a streetfight or any type of setting. Masher's 1st rule of thumb, if facing a larger person: "A human knee takes only 10lbs of pressure to break".
But what people don't realize the stamina and endurance needed to RUN 70 minutes of a soccer game and MAYBE walk or trot the remaining 20 minutes. I played from 3 years old to 14 years old. I am bigger than I was, but I still run 5 miles a day (Mon-Thurs) and my years of running 1.5 miles a practice helps more than any weightlifting would ever do.
BTW, Go Brazil!

Well, I'd like to say...
GO UKRAINE!!!
It's so good that Russian team didn't make it to the World Cup finals! No national infamy again as in 2002 when Japanese team made a second Tsushima for our laming "footbol players"...
Go Ukraine! Oleg Blokhin as a coach should revenge for a 1986 USSR disaster with Belgium!

Football players don't wear pads to protect themselves, they wear them to protect the poor son of a ***** they're about to plaster.
But here's a simple test you can run. Have a rugby player tackle you and then get up. Next, have a football linebacker, say someone like Ray Lewis or Rodney Harrison hit you and see if you can get up afterwards.

Ray Lewis tanked a few years ago with the rest of that team. Rugby players don't wear helmets, shoulder pads, hip pads. You killed your attempt with your own answer.

Russian national soccer team looks like they play rugby. They pass the ball only backwards. Always.!!!

They wouldn't have to tackle him, I doubt he could run half the length of the field without stopping for a break. Remember lazs, rugby doesn't stop after every 5 seconds of play for a breather :)
However, there are some forwards from South Africa, Tonga, Fiji, and Samoa with stats like that who get brought down just as easily.

NFL has female cheerleaders to do that sort of thing.... You guys are getting ripped off...

The majority of America is unenlightened. Of course they're not going to enjoy, appreciate, or even understand the World Cup.
And of course, the majority of America will think that American football players are the best athletes on the planet.
:) Thankfully, I'm not in that majority!
Guy at work said soccer is boring. They take the ball down to one end of the field, lose it, then the other team takes the ball down to the other end of the fiend, loses it, and the cycle repeats. The funny thing about his commentary is his second favorite sport to watch is hockey. Hmm, team takes the puck down the ice, loses it, the other team takes the puck down the ice and loses it...

Hang, I am half-Russian half-Ukrainian. I hate to see Ukrainian politicians building an anti-Russian alliance and paricipating in NATO maneuvers (thank god - NATO soldiers got kicked out of Crimea by protesting citizens). Half of my family lives in Western Ukraine, provincial city of Chernovtsy, former Austro-Hungary and Romania.
But I'd like to see our brothers kicking some ass, especially with Oleg Blokhin as a coach, a great football player of the Soviet era.
My teams:
1) Ukraine
2) Australia (my Mother lives there)
3) Serbia-Crna Gora (another brother Slavonic nation)
4) Czech Republic (brother-Slavs too)
5) Poland (same thing)
6) US or any other non-football nation that may show courage and beat major teams.
Ukraine is simply my country, that's all.
