What kind of line would provoke a boneheaded reaction like that? Did he say "I just saw your momma in the locker room and she asked me to tell you to headbutt me in the chest!" No words should make someone do THAT. He's just another childish Frenchman who's sick of France losing in EVERYRTHING. |

Re: The Zidane Incident
I like how alot of people I know when asked say they are intrested in the Worold Cup but when you ask them if they have watched any matches they say "NO".Went fishing with a friends son yesterday and he was saying how big of a soccer fan he was and I asked him why he wasn't home watching the biggest soccer event of the next couple of years. He did not realy have an answer.

Re: The Zidane Incident
I think what he meant is the fact that rather than people say "F...Soccer" we actually don't go to the shitter when the scores come on ESPN.
Remember kids, there's different LEVELS of interest.

Re: The Zidane Incident
Sounds like something big happened in soccer. I've tried to get interested in soccer, but i don't find it that entertaining. I watched a couple D.C. United games this year, but that was it. How should i sum a soccer match up, well, it's like, anyone seen that clip where homer takes his kids to a soccer game because he saw an ad on t.v. that said this match will decide once and for all who the best nation on earth is, and then when he gets there, it's just like, blargh lol. And i know real soccer isn't like that either, just so you know.

Re: The Zidane Incident
Do you have to pay per pound to keep them at all? When I was in Hawaii we had to pay a fee to keep some of them.

Re: The Zidane Incident
International sports are interesting. Countries like France, Brazil, Argentina Germany, and Italy put all of their athletes into one sport, Soccer. There's a some basketball going on there too, but mostly it's soccer. So it's no wonder their teams are so good at it.
Then if you go to Cuba, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic, baseball is pretty much the only game in town. And of course they're great at it. And then there's Kenya, and pretty much all they do is run marathons. So no wonder they always win the Boston Marathon. Here in the States we have baseball, football, basketball, golf, soccer, swimming, track & field, hockey, and a whole slew of other sports. All of our athletes spread out into different sports. So internationally, the US teams always seem disappointing because we can't match up with the countries who breed only soccer players (France), or who breed only baseball players (Cuba), or who breed only Hockey players (Canada). You see our record in international play and it's easy to start to think, "hey, the US sucks at sports." But if we put all our athletes into one or two sports, we'd DOMINATE. If you want to look at the US dominance in sports in a fair manner, take a look at the Olympic medal count each year. We're always at the top, especially in the summer games. Imagine if football were an international sport? Team USA: QB Peyton Manning, Tom Brady RB LaDainian Tomlinson, Shawn Alexander WR Chad Johnson, Randy Moss, Steve Smith, Marvin Harrison, Santana Moss, Terrell Owens TE Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, Alge Crumpler OT Walter Jones, Orlando Pace, Chris Samuels, Willie Roaf OG Will Shields, Steve Hutchinson, Randy Thomas, Alan Fanaca C Olin Kreutz, Jeff Saturday We'd pwn everybody. It'd be ridiculous. We have so many of our nation's best athletes in the NFL, a sport which no other countries really play. We're still the dominant sports nation. It's just we're the jack of all trades, and masters at only a few.
