Soccer Pt 2
Reproduced in all it's glory from the Children's Ministry Newsletter:
Top Eleven Reasons Football is better than Soccer.
11) One touchdown 6 points; one goal 1 point. Football is 6 times better.
10) Big Games: Superbowl (Millions of viewers) vs. World Cup (Millions of viewers, none of whom speak English)
9) A blowout isn't 1-0.
8) You can use your hands. (I mean God invented hands, they are cool, use them.)
7) I can actually understand the off-sides rule in Football.
6) Greater risk of injury.
5) The ball is called a "pigskin" not a... uh... "soccer ball."
4) "Football was created to keep European women busy while their husbands did the cooking." - Hank Hill
3) Things actually happen.
2) Best Teams: Dallas Cowboys vs. Manchester United
1) The French play soccer.
(And don't even start with that whole "soccer is football elsewhere" business.)
Graham should take this as a compliment that I dislike soccer but enjoyed your game. It's not that soccer is such a bad game (because cricket is worse) its that Football is such a great game. It's like tryiHerman'sompare Hermans Hermits to the Beatles. "I'm into something good" was good (even though it was a cover of an older song sung by a woman) but is not Beatles White Album worthy.
I'm happy to entertain rebuttals happy but I am also happpy to entertain psychopaths and mentally deranged postal workers. I worked in a Psychological Rehab Wing of a Hospital ("Mental Ward" or "Loony Bin") for a year. I have no problems carrying on a conversation with someone who doesn't have complete grasp of reality such as schizophrenics, halucanaginics and American soccer fans.

enuf about soccer, question is did your ever think buggs bunny was sexy when he dressed up like a girl bunny.. Nooo!
I choose to love you even though you prefer mindless violence to skill and strategy (and affordable equipment).
Never thought I would learn to love the "skill" of soccer over the "power" of football. But I now appreciate both. Of course, Tom Landry was a finesse coach, not a knock their head off kind of guy. I guess that is why I liked him so much too. He out thought the other coach for most of 30 years. The real question is How about some Hockey talk? I'll explain off sides in soccer if you can explain obstruction in hockey.
Nice approach to taking the minds off of the crush comment in the wedding reception blog. So, have you asked this Nichole out yet?
He's lucky I guess, that Nichole doesn't read blogs...
I still say it's your turn soon...
But Herman's Hermits is still too good a band. They had several hits in addition to "Something Good", including "Henry the Eighth" and "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter". A band that had this moderate succes is far too successful to be the "soccer" in a band analogy.
Comparing Soccer to Football then, is more like comparing The Beatles to ? and The Mysterians. It truly is no contest.
The Return of Dr. Worm MD!
With some classic music goodness.
Em - Actually I'm counting on someone telling her its on the blog to get the ball rolling middle school style!
Do it the manly way and ask the girl out!
Anonymous people don't need to counsel me on manliness.
