Are you sick of hearing about soccer?

[JimO]

What???? You just can't agree with me like that!!!

yes i can

[Swoop]

At least the All Whites have a chance of winning a world cup... unlike the All Black fucktards.
Thugby can fuck off.

[fireliv]

Its pobably been said (cant be bithered reading all posts) but it beats hearing about Rugby, esp Rugby world cup (whats up with the 3 year coundown clock here in chch) and especially beats hearing about Cricket and Tiger Woods.......


But wouldnt it be nice to hear more about motorsports esp motorcycles!

Now...dont pick me as a rugby supporter. My question is....is how you came to that conclusion??

when its black and white obvious [<-- I'm rolling out the puns tonight!!] that the all whites do not have any chance.

Is your TV stuck on one channel?
Does it have an "off" switch?

Are you sick of hearing about soccer?

Not as sick as I am about hearing about rugby. Especially since our team is useless.

I wish they'd shut the fuck up about it on the news every night. There are far more deserving NZ sportsmen and women for them to lavish primetime television minutes on, than some braindead faggot in a rugby jersey from Bumfuck Idaho talking about how he's hurt his pinky and is afraid it might damage his chances of maybe getting into the national team in eight years time and he is sorry for letting down his bro's, ho's and manager for being such a neanderthal.

Well, you have to be defensive, otherwise the opposing team could hit you on the break and before you know it you are a goal daaahhhnnn.....fackin' 'ell John, you are 'avin' a larf intcha.....!!

Of course, to counter act such a strategy, employ a strong defensive midfield who can isolate and push the threatening strikers / attcking mid fielders out onto the wing, thus shutting them out of the game and closing down the attack. Ronaldo found this very difficult when he played in the English Premier league because it is a strong tactic in the English game and was used to great effect. Furthermore, employ an attacking back 4 who can spread the ball, open up the midfield and leave the counter attack on your side to find space, thus employing the 'pass and move' strategy which opens up the opposing defence and produces a fluid attack. the 4-4-2 formation can be used to great effect in this way, a la Wesy Germany in the 70's and, more recently, France, Cameroon and (of course) Spain.

Changes to the formation do bring a dynamic effect on the run of the game. The classic 3-5-2 floods the midfield leaving a two man srike team up front and a core 3 man defence. The midfield can quite often utilise the sweeper system here and it can have great advantages.

There, thats why football people are defensive, if you are not, the other team scores more goals, wins more games and have a better chance of slapping their nuts off the arse of various nubile and 'up-for-it' super models in the VIP suite of any Mayfair night club. The losing team, however, have to go home to their pop star wives who simply are not interested in smoking the cannons of 2nd best players, they would sooner feel the nuts of the wining striker slapping off their arse in the VIP suite of any Mayfair night club.

Thats football, I fucking love it.....!!!

The fields of Anfield Road... the 3 hour trip from Glasgow to Anfield, fuck yeah... even the wife enjoyed it (odd for a weegie woman )... the noise as they head on to the park... the ice cold sensation that runs the entire length of your body as they take the park... 90 minutes (yes 10 more) of the art of nigglin the fuck out of the other side, elbows here, studs there and all out of sight of the ref... the roar of the Kop (oh what a roar) as Gerrard bursts the net from 30 yards, everyone else wonderin where the ball went... ohhhhhhhhhhhhh what a game, WHAT A GAME...

been to plenty of grounds in my time (Anfield as a kid on the back of the neighbours silver zuki)... never one anywhere like Anfield... fuckin mericans...

I used to enjoy watchin rugby too... just got fed up with all of the rule changes... season after season after season... after season after season... wish they'd just make their fuckin minds up... most likely a direct result of playing with their funny shaped balls (i thenk yow)

didn't vote as there was no football option

[Berries]

Can't vote either unfortunately, no options I could pick. But it is only once every 25 years or so so let them have their day in the sun. To its detriment, NZ is besotted with rugby. Where I come from rugby was a game for all the dense pricks without the skill to actually kick a ball. Carrying it ? That's hard. 15 years in NZ and I still don't understand the game.

At least the All Whites have a chance of winning a world cup... unlike the All Black fucktards.

You're having a giraffe ? Which world cup are you talking about ?

Anfield.....

Not sure anywhere has quite the atmosphere as Meadow Lane. Specially when the Bovril is on.

Never been... but my teams better than your team (i daren't eat or drink anything at Anfield )

Poos is a 7th day adventist he dont have a TV, just a Bible Bread and a footstool next to a well

[Morcs]

Fuck im sick of rugby. On the news theres always covered of crappy NZ rugby games, same in the sunday papers. Especially when the domestic side of things is so small - always see heaps of empty seats in the crowd.

Soccer on the other hand is the most watched sport in the world, and for viewing figures, the olympics pales in comparision to the world cup. And the rugby world cup doesnt even get close to even being thought of as a comparison.

Then theres the all blacks, dont you guys get bored of playing like the same 4 other teams over and over again in a year? and even then its just big dudes groping each other whilst a fucking oval ball tumbles around somewhere.

[Dutchee]

I'm sick of hearing about rugby, league, cricket, and all the high profile sports.
I used to be a soccer fan, due to dad loving the game, but now not really interested.
I'd rather hear about rallying, motorbike racing, mountainbikes, luge, Paralympics and other lower profile sports.
BUT what really pisses me off, is when the Herald decides to put the GP results on their front page before I've watched it. They need to take into account that a lot of people watch it the following day. I try to remember not to go to the webpage later on Mondays, but do forget sometimes.

[Swoop]

Now...dont pick me as a rugby supporter. My question is....is how you came to that conclusion??

Looking at the chances that the thugby team has had to win "their" trophy and then failed to achieve it. Overpaid, over-egoed players?
So the logig goes... they both have the same outcome = not winning. (Hope they can both achieve something though).

[MisterD]

Soccer is what pooftahs call Football. It is the only sport in the universe - everything else is but a pale imitation...I mean, what sort of professional sport has a salary cap?

"Soccer" is what the posh poms that fixed the rules down called it....an abbreviation of "Association Football" as opposed to any other variety of Football dontchaknow.

It can be a good game to watch, but it's far too woosy for me to enjoy playing it as much as Rugby. That's all academic though because I'm English, so as the tides and star-alignments of the World Cup roll around, like an overgrown lemming I'll be filled with a baseless optimistic belief that this will be the year...

[dipshit]

I couldn't give a flying fuck whether they win or lose... whatever... big fucking deal.

I would still rather watch grass grow than watch a fucking game of fucking rugby.
