Except... he's wrong.

But 3a needs to be "if you're not a soccer fan, then you don't need to tell everyone how much the sport sucks during the World Cup". This is the only sporting event I've seen where people who aren't watching it feel the need to constantly remind you that they're not watching and that anyone who is is an idiot or…

That's certainly fair, but there's also a rather large group of people who can't wait to tell you how stupid and boring soccer is. If you don't like it, that's fine, but you could just shut up about it instead of being obnoxious. That road definitely goes both ways.

Now's the time to be miserable and feel sorry for ourselves

Julian Green is going to be a seasoned 26 year old at the 2022 World Cup in the USA*, oh please let this be so.

Yeh your probably right. Not enough commercial breaks to advertise Coca Cola Taco Bell and Bank of America, they would never allow it. There's a reason the rest of the world live and breath football

Why do people write personal essays about why they dislike soccer, then feel the need to substitute "Americans" where the word "I" belongs?

He bites who he wants
He bites who he waaaa-aaa-aaants
Luis Suarez
He bites who he wants

Bite someone for the third time*

Sorry but a lifetime ban was in order here. All of the incidents of biting, racism and violence were bad but seeing him gnawing on Ivanovic was like watching a real God damned Zombie attack. Fuck Luis and every one in Uruguay pretending he's not insane.

The same way the Corleones have casting authority in Hollywood.

As a washed up player and a life-long fan, I have always wanted there to be some universally organized group that publicly shames divers. Other than a few negative comments here or there, players don't ever have to face the fact that they're acting like the world's biggest bitch when they dive. I have an idea, and in…

Russia used to have commas, but they used them all up under Commanism.

no, it was.

Whereas Croatia is known as "the table cloth of the world"

LOL On the FIFA screen, there were a bunch of goals by Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny (I had to use Google to get the spelling of that name right).
