US Soccer Team Loses to Brazil 3-2

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say today is one of the most disappointing days in American history. First we had God refusing to say “But WAIT! There’s more!” to the legendary Billy Mays. And now the US drops a heartbreaking loss in the Something Other Cup to Brazil. Who cares if soccer is only relevant in countries where they eat dogs. This would’ve been a proud moment if they’d could have hung onto a 2-0 lead. It would’ve been bigger than the Miracle on Ice and V-J Day and the moon landing all rolled into one. Now we won’t get the chance to hear “This will be the thing that’s finally going to put soccer on the map in the US” from the people who’ve been predicting it for 40 years. But it wasn’t meant to be because all of America’s real athletes were once again busy doing other things. So I guess Evan Lysacek’s victory in the World Figure Skating Championships remains the best moment in American sports in 2009.

“But it wasn’t meant to be because all of America’s real athletes were once again busy doing other things”

thats a hall of fame line right there. imagine how ridiculous the u.s. would be in soccer if it was our only sport and guys like lebron and ed reid played.

Thanks Jerry. I used to think you were only 50% retarded, now I know you are the full 100%.

Lebron and Ed Reid etc. wouldn’t last 10 mins out there on the field.

Craig Trapp: too bad the us lost they were up by 2 goals and gave the game away in the end go to my website where i lose money

» bc makes love then cries said: { Jun 28, 2009 - 08:06:41 }

yeah im sure a guy like lebron who’s one of the best athletes in the world and a freak of nature physically wouldn’t be good at soccer if he played it his whole life. the guys the best athlete in the nba and was all state in the other sport he played but im sure he’d be lost on a soccer field if it was all he had ever done.

» SacksBeClamless said: { Jun 28, 2009 - 08:06:30 }

Could you image KG in goal.. I mean Tim Howard is one hell of a goalie but KG would maul these Brazilian fairies.

“Lebron and Ed Reid etc. wouldn’t last 10 mins out there on the field.”

they wouldn’t last ten minutes? whats going to happen to them, is the physical play of soccer going to wear them out so much that they are going to get carted off the field?

» BostonCurse said: { Jun 28, 2009 - 11:06:41 }

it took me about 15 years to warm up to soccer, but the more you watch, its fuckin awsome. every single sport is respectable and equal.

BC your an ignorant moron, Lebron, just because he excels at basketball, doesn’t mean he would be good at every single sport. You have to run about 7-8 miles for 90 minutes, I have a real hard time believing Lebron could do that weighing in at like 250 or whatever it is he weighs. And he was all state in football, another sport that doesn’t require you to play the whole game, and has tons of stoppages in play. Why don’t you just go back to bashing soccer, rather than actually coming off like you know what you are talking about.

Its soccer..how tough can it be?
there’s like 4 gazillion guys on a field the size of long Island…how tough can it really be?
The goal is as wide as Oprah Winfreys ass…how tough can it be.
So to sum up,you wander around Long Island with a bunch of your buddies, occasionally you sprint for a few (meters). Then you wander around again trying to put a ball in Oprahs ass.
If one of your buddies gets close to you, you feign falling down. A stretcher is brought out to get you as you writhe in fake pain.
5 minutes later you come back in the game. Yah soccer!

Soccer sucks … Fact

» bostonbitch said: { Jun 29, 2009 - 08:06:59 }

boston guys on this site are the greatest example of why girls think boston guys are tools.r. Instead of being the best fan city and talking shit on behalf of your sports teams why don’t some of you make something of yourselves instead of jacking off to pedroia and beckett every night. fucking losers. Stop living through your sports teams.

*just because the celtics patriots red sox are good does not mean every guy in this fucking city can be overweight, lazy, and pathetic. Such a disaster for women to live in a city where men think they can ride on the good accomplishments of the few talented men in the greater boston area. LOSERS

Soccer blows. Any sport that breaks a tie by having such a pussy game of ” guess which side of the goal I’m going to kick the ball to” is fucking pathetic. Seriously, there is no reaction time or skill to stopping those kicks, it’s all guessing. Might as well have a fucking coin toss or paper scissors rock. Oh yeah, and they are all pussies.

Nice analysis retard. I particularly enjoyed your use of the word “Seriously” at the start of a sentence…. just to make sure we didn’t think you were kidding.

You best go and have another protein shake before your tanning session this afternoon…. wank stain.

» teenwolf said: { Jun 29, 2009 - 10:06:08 }

Go fuck yourself gizzle. You proved my point about how pathetic soccer is by picking apart word usage instead of attempting to defend the lamest way to break a tie in all sports.

» MisterFritzl said: { Jun 29, 2009 - 10:06:33 }

Only 2 choices:
1-US kids stop playing soccer altogether because they cant compete with 3rd world countries
2-Cut off the hands of an entire generation of potential soccer players

Soccer is a communist plot to weaken the will of the American youth.

» MisterFritzl said: { Jun 29, 2009 - 10:06:06 }

Ted Turner won the America’s Cup sailing trophy, because he wanted to. Donald Trump should take the best 15 defensive backs cut at this year’s NFL training camps and immerse them in soccer until the next world cup. They would never be less than a 9 goal favorite against any of these soccer powers.

what dumpster are you living this week?

Listen, soccer doesn’t need me to “defend” it’s rules or justify them to some ass monkey on this forum. As much as I’m sure it breaks your star-spangled heart, it is and will always be the world’s most popular game. The world doesn’t need the USA to embrace soccer in order for the game to thrive and grow. That being said, you should know that there are more American kids playing soccer than American football, basketball or hockey…. so make of that what you will.
