Theres more action in this 20 min overtime right now than a whole soccer season. Its LA you should be watching.

BS. Statements like this is what makes your argument fall apart.

Im just messing around man. Go loosen up your panties statement police. 

Yep. Pretty much the response I would expect from you. Good job Mr. "Moderator". Thanks for pissing in the wheaties of those who happen to enjoy a sport you don't. Your other option? Ignore the thread. 

All opinions are welcome if one agrees or not..keep it clean and not pointed at an individual...

Booo...LA wins the Cup. Amazing game though.

Yeah, I lost interest after suspect officiating screwed the Blackhawks.... Boo LA!!! Is right.

I wanted the Blackhawks to win too but the game last night was amazing and I always get a little emotional when I watch the Stanley cup get awarded.

Anyway, soccer.

8 years ago, I didnt care. Maybe glanced at the scores.

4 years ago I casually rooted for the US.

This year? Im geeked. In the last 4 years I've become a pretty big EPL watcher, a fan of Everton FC. Am familiar with a ton of players, paid close attention to the group draws, and will be pulling for Belgium, England, Mexico, Ecuador and the Netherlands in addition to the US. ..

Yeah, I guess Im a soccer fan now. :)

Right on!

The other way to look at is there is a true consequence for repeat offenders. Yellow card is the first warning. 2nd Yellow card in a game equals Red card and your are not only sent off the field penalizing your entire team, the offending player must sit out the next game. Dire consequences in tournament play. This is what keeps the true ugliness out of the game. No goon squad retaliation. Makes perfect sense to me. Then, apparently, I'm a contrarian when it comes to sports not labeled footbal...

I don't care for soccer at all..but I've been gone for 4 days and catching up on this thread was DAMN entertaining! Haha it was like a 10 minute soap opera...

Personally, I don't like soccer or baseball. I played both for years, but I really never cared to watch either of them. I honestly get disgusted at the flopping. I disagree with those who say that flopping in other sports is the same thing.........soccer players fake cry and roll around holding their knee because they got tripped. That is a horrible combination of bad acting and a sever lack in masculinity to me..baseball is just boring. Soccer isn't as boring but I can't stand the crying...guess what though! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if that means you disagree with me then that is FANTASTIC. Power to you guys, I'm sure I like a lot of things you don't and vice versa. That's what makes me, me and not you. I'm just happy to live in a country where we we can be free to disagree.

So I hope I didn't offend anyone by being myself! I stated my opinion, why I think that, and then that I understand if you disagree. Is that so hard guys?

Great games so far, with a couple shockers!

nice swimsuit! @-)

Loving my Germany pick. But I never thought they'd destroy Portugal that badly. Then again who thought Spain would sit down for the Dutch the way they did.

SWEET!
