The Reasons why Soccer (yes I used that term) is a Joke

[GUMBLETRON]

Need I say more.

I guess our game was a joke before 1990 then. Somewhat ironic that English football has a far more competitive history than the VFL/AFL.

Like how Collingwood made the prelim over Adelaide?

Nope, not like that.

The Anthony/Rutten free was a blatant attempt to prevent someone from getting to a contest, illegally.

The World Cup incident was a ****ing laugh. From memory Neil was on the ground and his opponent ran over the top of him, taking a massive dive and carrying on like nearly all soccer players do; and getting rewarded for it, no less.

I played soccer for a year, and found it amusing enough. However I fast grew frustrated with running past a player (while in possession of the ball) and having them fall to the ground holding their faces. Did they get a free for it? You betchya!

One one occasion I laughed and had a few words to the diver, who puffed out his chest, walked up to me acting the hero, only to fall over again when we got within touching distance. I couldn't believe what was happening.

I overlook my hatred for just one man; Matt Le Tissier.

I have also had the experience you describe, but in footy. The guy was claiming i had punched him, then one of his team mates ran in and did it again.

Hi-larious! I can sense your exact feeling - there's genuine exasperation there, and with good cause. It sounds like being trapped on a field with a Jim Carrey character.

How he only won 8 caps for England is beyond me (nice one Glenn Hoddle ). One of the most talented Englishmen ever. The second goal from that video is one of my favorite goals ever.

Leeds United (45th in England) beat Man United (2nd in England) overnight, eliminating them from the FA Cup.

OP is right. EPL is a joke, La Liga is where it's really at.

6 titles in one calendar year. Greatest feat ever of any club in history.
