The Super Bowl is not a tournament.

Seconded, it's just soccer after all.

I don't care whether you love soccer or hate it; Chuck Norris and John Wayne could be riding on bears with laser beams strapped to their heads and firing Uzis and they'd still sound ridiculous saying "FIFA" out loud.

Yanks_RSJ: The Super Bowl is not a tournament.

Well if you consider the playoffs as part of the whole super bowl experience, then yes it is.

The entire season is a tournament.

Half back passes to center, back to wing, back to center! Center holds it! Holds it! Holds it!!

Remember, it's in the southern hemisphere.

I'm very excited. Death to Stanfan114 and fullerton.

What will be harder?

a) filtering out the "who cares" trolls on Fark for a month or

b) filtering out the god cursed vuvuzelas for a month

I am going with b

/Go USA!!

I deal with the Super Bowl every year waiting for the World Cup. It's nice going from watching a bunch of guys wrestling with each other to a game where actual skill is involved!

I love football, NFL or college and go to many games, but even I recognize the hype of the World Cup. Until the rest of the world catches up to how awesome Football is and we do have a true world championship, then nothing will be bigger than the World Cup. It only happens every 4 years, and over 200 countries try to quality, top 32 make it, and the whole world watches. It's where countries like Algeria can compete and surpass the most wealthiest of nations like Russia, China who couldn't make the cut. It's better than the olympics, because it's based on one sport and every game is fun to watch. This is the best sporting event in the World. Superbowl is a close second, and that is followed by Olympic Female Beach Volleyball!

Just like Americans to forget the rest of the world exists. Keep anesthetizing yourself with McDonald's hamburgers and television and conspicuous consumption and everything will be ok.

All sports have their share of players that love to biatch to the ref. The big difference between soccer and other sports is the only way to stop play for the soccer player is to act injured wheras the play is usually already stopped in the other sports.

Good refs can and do tell the grassdivers to get off their asses and get back in the game.

Waiting for the winners of MLS to be declared 'world champions'. I mean, that is how you do things right? A game that is played in one country has to count as the world.

America, fark yeah. If you don't like the game, then keep to your own. The only people outside of the US who are desperate for you to like it are those that want to sell you stuff. The rest of us quite frankly don't give a damn whether you like it or not.

World American Champions!

The game has to be played in more than one country to use the term "World" in reference to it.

Not FIFA refs. Not from what I've seen. IF you took the players acting as an indication of the damage they suffer, there'd be spleens all over the field. You wouldn't be able to dribble the ball for the mounds and mounds of disembodied spleens. Then they'd have to call it spleenball.

What are the odds the one American who cares about the World Cup would have a Fark account? Crazy.

Canadians too!

See the thing is, as I see it, soccer is great when you are a kid. It's quite popular for school children...you've heard of hot soccer moms, right? If not google it...I can't I'm at work.

The thing is, once we grow up, we get into sports with more expensive equipment, and sophistication. I guess soccer is seen as a poor mans sport in N.A.

That, and Montreal Canadien fans have me hate that stupid ole ole ole chant.

Eff all y'all. I'm going to get drunk starting at 8:30am tomorrow morning and probably won't sober up until sometime Monday afternoon. This weekend is going to be awesome!

Oh, and I might even watch some World Cup in there, too.

Football is for overwieght men that have to stop and catch their breath every 10 seconds. It's perfect for fat Americans. Look at 80% of NFL players, they are all farking huge. Look at 80% of Americans, now realize why Americans love football.
