World cup, who cares?

Like soccer or not, we should all support our country of origin/choice during the world cup as it is just as big if not bigger then the Olympics.

This is going to be an epic couple weeks. So many key players for the different countries are injured. Michael Ballack from Germany, Jozy Altidore from the USA is still recovering from a small injury, Rio Ferdinand from England, Torres from Spain, Drogba from the Ivory Coast, Nani from Portugal, it's ridiculous.

At most, I'm expecting it to go England 1st USA 2nd Algeria 3rd Slovenia 4th in the group. I don't see Slovenia and Algeria advancing past the US or England. I have England winning it all, TBH. They have one of the deepest fields of talent of all the world currently, and have the easiest run-in because of their group draw. Either England or Brazil. Italy is an old team, in terms of average age, France doesn't have the leadership that Zindane provided, Argentina is dangerous, considering the talent they have (including Lionel Messi, World Player of the Year), and Germany without Michael Ballack is nowhere near the team they are with him.

That said, the US has a real chance of making it past the group stage this year. Their performance, even as mediocre as it was, against Australia was a good indicator of how good the US team really is this year. Australia only allowed 1 goal in the qualifying matches and went undefeated in the 8 matches. The US scored 3 against them. To be able to pick apart a stingy defense like Australia is a good sign, but the US weakness is defense. Why Chad Marshall was left off the 23 man roster is beyond me. Single best American defender besides Onyewu. Cherundolo is meh, Jay DeMerit and Bocanegra are okay.

Anyone see that faggot in the NFL last year that couldn't play quarterback because he had a broken pinky?

I bet that ****** got hit by a 300 lb monster...and didn't do it while he was jogging like the soccer player. Football is 100 times better than soccer...it even took over the name of "football" (futbol..whatever).

Soccer is boring to watch IMO. I am even a NASCAR watcher and I think Soccer is boring! Also baseball on TV is also very boring... Though going to the occasional game isn't bad.

Then why do those faggots wear so much padding? If they're so awesome, they shouldn't need that shit.
And it didn't take over shit. Its still called futbol all over the world.

Most badass sports require padding or a player's lifespan would be 1-2 seasons. Unlike soccer players who take dives on minimal contact to get the ball back. I will say Rugby is badass to the max due to know padding. Here in the USA soccer knows its place, soccer is a little ****** with no hair. Here football makes the money, football gets the ratings, and football players get to **** slampeices in bathrooms.

MMA doesnt require padding except for on their hands to keep from shattering their knuckles and even some MMA fighters break their knuckles anyways.

MMA is obviously badass.
