   She is pretty thin, that’s for sure. And I never noticed the nose before — it does have a little porky look to it, doesn’t it? What was it that caused you to take note of these two, Loren?

   Loren - again I’m left walking the halls of Microsoft laughing over one of your posts. I have got to come up with a project for you to do very soon! Thanks for your always entertaining and often dead-on insights.

   Eileen - Thanks so much for the kind words, love it when people say they are laughing.

   Microsoft? I’ve heard of them I think.

   I completely agree with you. They both are so boring! Same as Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. All of them are pretty good role models and icons for idiots!

   No one cares about soccer? You mean football, right? And when you say football you mean gridiron, right? Maybe in the US no one cares about it. But the rest of the world, yes there are other countries outside the US, it’s the biggest and most popular sport in the world.

   When the World Cup is played it’s a competition where EVERY country in the world competes. Every single one. Now for gridiron, it’s only played in one country. Just the single one. So I think you’ve got the scenario switched around. It’s gridiron that no one gives a shit about. We could also talk about baseball’s “world series”, played by two countries. But we won’t.

   Gridiron.. it’s a joke to the rest of the world. Come on.

   Fuck you, Loren Feldman.;-)

   Soccer is a much more demanding sport, physically and intellectually, than the ass-patting, gay-hugging, completely homo-erotic travesty dishonestly called “football” on this side of the pond.

   They didn’t call me “iron nuts” for nothing.

   Diego: Yes, not many people about soccer in the USA. This a blog from the USA, deal with it.

    Not many Americans give a crap about anyone outside the country, much less their goofy-ass “sports”. Shouldn’t you be off watching a cricket match or something?

    Todd: Yes, that is true, it’s a blog from the US. Outsiders can have a say, can’t they? A country’s borders never stopped the US from butting in on the business of other countries. Has it? Same sort of thing, only in a much smaller scale and no one’s been killed.

    That last comment I made about “no one’s been killed” and all that, look I take it back. There we were talking about a skinny chick and a pretty boy football player and I go and do that. I take it back.

    Next video about the guy who named football, some sport that you can play with your “hands”.

    I’ll talk about the genius who named Soccer, some sport you can play with your “feats”.

    Let’s not forget that the US started “butting in” on other people’s business when it started to look like you’d all end up speaking German. (And later, Russian.) I know it’s fashionable and all but I’m a bit tired of hearing this sort of talk.

    Dude,

    You clearly have never seen English Premiership football. I grew up in Manhattan playing basketball. The city game. 24/7 baby. I know a thing or two about what it takes to play a sport.

    Footballers in the English Premiership (gotta use the proper name bro) is the shit. Fast. Ridiculously skilled guys passing, cutting, running their ass off, blocking, tripping, bleeding. Non-stop for 45 minutes then a break for halftime then they go at it again.

    NO FUCKIN’ TV TIMEOUTS. Uh huh. That’s right. NO FUCKIN’ TV TIME OUTS. Move your ass or lose.

    This shit is war!

    Each team gets, like 3 or 4 substitutions per game. That’s it. When you are subbed out you are done. None of this NBA or NFL platoon substitution girly man shit.

    Guys throw up on the field. Beckham did it in the World Cup. They just keep on ballin’.

    The crowds make the most intense US crowds look like pussies. They yell continuously for 90 minutes. Non-stop. They spit on players. They fight with each other. There are continuous waves of an entire stadium full of 40,000 people singing hilariously catchy, scathing songs about hated opposing players.

    Loren, bubbie, I love yah, but you don’t know jack about the “beautiful game”. Until you’ve seen Ronaldinho for Barcelona freakin’ defenders or Cristiano Ronaldo for Man U making defenders loose their jock you have no clue how beautiful a sport can be.

    Cheers,
    Doug

    Funny thing is, that for the past twenty five years, the “experts” in the USA have talked about how children were playing more and more soccer and after a generation it would be the most prevalant and popular sport.

    Guess what? The generation has come and gone and still nobody in the USA cares about soccer. Nobody over the age of nine, anyway.

    I was in a soccer league when I was a kid (around 1980). I can’t say I ever found the idea of playing professionally interesting at all. When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut.

    jvon,
    Every boy with a pulse in Brazil wants to be Ronaldinho. Guys, do this right now. Go to YouTube and search for either Ronaldinho make sure you see the one where he methodically bounces the ball off of the cross bar from like 50 meters away! Also, Cristiano Ronaldo highlights are just plain beautiful.

    Enjoy,
    Doug
