I'll see you all there as I help you fall asleep during the natural
sleeping-aid humans call soccer.

Ho Ho that was lame and quite possibly your worst post yet.
Can't make the official watch party but many S. Utah fans will be supporting the team here in Parowan Utah.
RSL 1 Columbus 1

I believe you've confused baseball (a sport where long breaks are
occassionally disturbed by action) with soccer (a sport in which players are
constantly in motion).
Re: Sandman | 9:09 p.m. Nov. 4, 2009
Or you could be talking about American football where there is ten seconds of
action followed by a minute of standing around figuring out what to do next. Do
American football players really need that much time to think or are they just
stupid?
Real football -- The world's game!
By the way, let's compare television viewing audience numbers for the superbowl and even the first rounds of the World Cup. We all know the World Cup final has more than six times the audience (some estimates claim even ten times!).

Who cares? The rest of the world can fall asleep to soccer all they want. In
America, it's American football.

Soccer fans get pretty defensive about their sport. You gave this Sandman guy
all he wanted and more. Go RSL lets see what we can do against NE or Chicago.

Re: re: Re: Sandman - Got you on the defensive? You really think watching a
bunch of fat guys in sissy pads stand around for MORE THAN HALF of the game time
is more exciting than real football???
The NFL has tried to sell its boring game to the world since it bagan and no one outside the US and some of Canada is buying. It's simply a boring game with very little athletic merit.
Even Wikipedia directs searches about 'football'to the real game, not the silly American one.
There are six people standing around my desk as I type and we're all laughing at you!

They are giving away free tickets at the local Maverick for the Watch Party. I
wanted to go for the buffett and leave when the boring soccer started but Mom
said I was grounded for spending too much time on the computer. Also I already
weigh 340 lbs because I play American sports like baseball and football. Only
lightweights play soccer, I could crush them with my bare hands if I could catch
them. I was pretty excited the baseball game lasted 6 hours last night,
that's a real sport. Soccer players can only play for 90 minutes. I better
get off the computer before Mom catches me, I don't want to be grounded for
an extra week. Boo soccer.

Aker, You live in America . NFL is king here, Try walking through a tailgate
party in the SEC with your soccer uniform on, you will need more than your six
people laughing to help you out.
Sorry Football is King and will never be taking down by the MLS. Jr High School Football is more popular in the southern states than MLS.
Were not talking about World Cup,, were talking about the MLS Even Checketts said the rules have to change for it to be more popular in the US.
laugh about that

Re: 4:05 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009 - The problem with your argument is that it ignores
the inevitable. As hispanics overtake caucasians in your country they will
shift the focus away from the fringe sport of American football and create more
demand for real football and baseball. I'm not talking about immigration.
Native-born hispanics have the highest birthrate in the nation and will become
the majority by 2050. Even before then, the US, because of increased access to
international entertainment and global trends, will most certainly be exposed to
more real football.
I DID in fact wear a Rapids jersey to a Broncos game about two weeks ago. My firm gave free tickets so I decided to see what it was all about. I wasn't impressed by the fans nor the game. The fans were on average more obese than anyone I've ever seen at a real football game. Even the conversations I overheard sounded like an intermountain version of Hee-Haw. Dumb folks by the thousands but not ONE comment on my jersey as I walked through not only the tailgate area but also through Invesco Field.
Real football - the World's Game!!
