You think people get passionate about football? You should check out curling. This is a photo of a victim of Canadian Curling Hooliganism.

Cabes: Amen to that!

I'm still rootoing for the american team to win that soccer tournament thingie......


USA USA USA

How many Americans jumped on the bandwagon when they were winning? How many jumped off when they lost to Germany? The numbers are close. We're still recounting Florida.

vai brasil!

Because Americans enjoy slamming soccer. It is much more fun than watching it. In soccer you only score a goal once an hour (if you're lucky). Here I've had 4 in the last 15 minutes. ;)

You third worlds enjoy your little....game. When you're ready for favored nation status, get a real football team.

(just busting your balls)

Very nice ACF. Just the kind of attitude I'm talking about. Thanks for giving fark an example.

No one can take a joke in here.

In Atlanta the local ABC affiliate was not going to carry the game. There was a bit of a protest. The affiliate would have ignored the protest. But then they found out how embarrassing it would have been for Univision to beat the living crap out of them in the ratings tomorrow. So now they're carrying it.

I'll watch on Univision even though I don't understand much Spanish.

For the third worlders out there... To get an idea of what baseball is like, picture a cricket game being played in a monkey's anus.

Well, Deadduke, this is your average soccer fan:



Okay, so I lied.

Blow me.

WEDNESDAY 'TIL I DIE...

Zvezda! Zvezda!

I'm sure fans of Olympic from Marseille remember this scene...Crvena Zvezda(Red Star) wins and becomes the European Champion!

This was played on neutral turf in Bari,Italy, and yet look at those loyal fans. That's what Football is about. Passion.

Damn, I'm sinking to new lows here.

Jonc: I like AEK but they stole the "Welcome to Hell" thing from us. We all know who invented that one...





GALATASARAY TIL I DIE

A little off topic, but this issue seems to be working its way in. (I hope this works.)
Spotted on ACF's t-shirt:

This is a football thread. How did this happen?

Fark off Merkins. I am sick of you all.

Nice, galatasaray :)

Sorrt, I just found it and it tickles me so much I just had to post it.

5 more weeks till football season starts.

Mr. Galatasaray. Are you Turkish? If so, what did you think of Sukur and Mansiz? I thought they should have been paired from the start. They looked hype!

Hoosier:Hoser football is already on up here, eh? (Bad Canadian Football League joke)

American football sucks... go play rugby!

Rugby? Usn't that where you send your old carpet to the garbage dump? Oh, wait,sorry. I was thinking of Rug--BYE!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

American Football is good. Seems like anything called football is enjoyable. Even that crazy Aussie stuff is quite watchable.

Dude, I am so jonesing for football. I even watched the 2000 Orange Bowl between Michigan and Alabama just to ease my cravings. I love college football.

I wonder, will this 1.5 billion mark be higher than the combination of every single televised U.S. sports game including: baseball, football, golf, basketball, etc.

Ohh, yea, it will demolish it.

Definitely crushes the not-so-World Series.

There is only one captain on a football team.

BTW- I have no problems with objective opinions. Opinions sprinkled with insults are not cool. I guess I'm guilty of this as well and I'm not going to point the finger and say "he/she started it!"

I just wonder what the curiosity is if it is hated? Do the haters feel the need to diss? this has more posts in it than a lot of boobies threads. Dudes, this is football remember? The sport you hate... Or is it now the sport you LOVE to hate?

I've considered everything and all I can say is awww shiat!

Indeed Eeek, as I said before (just to summarize)...

objective opinions... good
disses about culture... bad

And to quote myself, "This is a football thread..."

I never said, "You third worlds enjoy your little....game. When you're ready for favored nation status, get a real football team."

OR

"is the goalie allowed to block a shot with his purse? I'm sorry, I meant European Man Bag."

And I agree with you, people should stop crying about the fact that they don't agree with me liking football. Let them diss, but stop the culture references.

This was all tongue-in-cheek until someone mentioned foreign aid payments.

I'm here to make a point. Football fans have 100x more passion towards their teams, and the sport in general. The kind of atmosphere that you see on european Football matches you will never see in USA.

But instead let us dwell on nicer things like hot buttery pancakes smothered in syrup or boobies...

Hehe Eeek. I don't believe it'll stop. But you have to admit, the number of ass-clowns did dwindle towards the end here.

Besides, I feel like a WWE heel champion everyone is gunning for right now. An experience only known as FARK.

[The following is a joke] So I pee in all of your morning coffees!

Thank you for the apology, JihadJoe, however I'd like to THANK you for Rush.

Americans play football.

The rest of the world plays SOCCER.

Who cares about the world cup. The U.S. is not in it anymore, plus soccer is a sport for panseies

If loving football means I'm a 3rd world, homo-loving, purse-wearing pansy then I am the studliest 3rd world, homo-loving, purse-wearing pansy.

Wait a minute... That still doesn't sound good.

Upset? I love it!

I don't hate fat ass, beer drinking, hot dog eating, white male football/baseball fans. Some are my close friends are afflicted with that disease (joking). I like NFL, and boobies and Canadian beer. My gf hates my passion for the sport. I'm white too. Are we so different?

To say that I hate people is not cool. I don't.

Eeek is the #1 contender for my title... I'll see you at Fark-a-Mania.

Too bad the world only seems to watch the superbowl.

They are missing some awsome football games played durring snow storms. 50,000 fans braving wind chills and snow squalls in late december to cheer for their team. Now those are some dedicated FANS.

Except for the dome teams, their fans are a bunch of pussies.

OK but you haven't mentioned any real sports yet.
