Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Well nobody has posted a thread about it yet but the World Cup has started in South Africa. Also Team U.S.A. tied England, take that England…

I.Hate.Soccer.

American Football > Everyone Else’s Football > curling.

Seems Americans like myself that actually enjoy soccer are not very common

About as common as West Nile Virus. But don’t worry, you’ll have more company after this year now that it actually looks like we can compete in it.

The only thing that entertains me about soccer is its fans, whom I admire much much more than American football fans.

Team U.S.A., 2006, eliminated in the first round…yeah that was a low point
I don’t know both American football as well as…Football football fans can be quite crazy

You have to feel a little sympathy for Green. He’s taking a lot of abuse from the English Media.

It’s like all the passion and violence that should be in soccer was rerouted to its fans. And NFL football isn’t as good as NCAA football. NFL players are gigantic, legally-retarded pussies who have stretchers and an ambulance around in case they stub their toe (unless you’re Brett Favre, to whose picture every sportscaster masturbates nightly). NCAA players beat the living shit out of each other with a grin, and the penalties usually aren’t as frequent or delay the game as badly. They just have more guts than NFL players, usually. Plus, it’s about as close as you can get to the same blood feuds you get from soccer fans.

Korean kick ass? Ok bye

Which Korea? :O

I was kinda rooting for Germany until they got so far ahead that I started to feel bad for Australia…

I’m guessing Australia is not more of the soccer types, my friends in school supported Germany alot

Why wouldn’t Australia let kangaroos play soccer? They would kick ass

“Gas-chambered by the Germans?” Jesus flapjack-eating Christ, Taeshi. *facepalm*

@Kitty: That’s rather the problem, isn’t it? That’s grounds for suspension, kicking people instead of the football. ^_^

(Sorry. I’ll give up the dry humour now.)

Oh,today is Brazil’s turn to play,let’s see if they beat Korea,or get beated.

@ Taeshi: I respond in Haiku.

I must hide my face
Otherwise someone might see
Streaming tears of pride

Just saw the Brazil v N. Korea game, should not have been that close

Brazil! Brazil! Rah rah rah! /o/

In your face Korea! XD

Well… I’m not a soccer fan, but I’m glad we’re winning.

GO BRAZIL!!!

Go North Korea! Everything else about your country sucks, and your players’ families probably have guns to their heads as we speak!

rá! Malandrões!!! Brasilsão ganhou facim facim da curéia!!! Teta!!! (I will not translate this due the bawdiness. XP)

Also…Oh, Australia has a football team???? XD

Flavio, please calm down. This is just a game, so it’s not worth it to taunt the others nor starting any arguing.

J. Vincero (Jerk): The same for you. No need for arguing.

But, man! ITS FOOTBALL!!! FOOTBALLL!!!!!! *kicks notebook thinking it is a ball….

i dont guess there are a north korean around, maybe some south koreans, their neighboors….

@ Vinsionary: Okay, not everything about their country sucks. They have the world’s wackiest leader this side of Iran. But they could use a healthy boost in self esteem. At least, I think they could. We really don’t get to talk with their general population much, do we?

And let us yell. It’s all in good spirit anyway.

Well… since it’s in good spirit, I’ll forgive that one. Just remember to don’t let things go out of control, okay?

Taeshi herself made a joke about the “Australians getting gas-chambered by the Germans.” I don’t think there’s any lines left to cross in this thread.

Don’t worry though, it won’t turn into a flame war. This is just how we play. For example, we once derailed several threads over the course of a week into jokes about my mother being a whore.

lol….theses days everyone are stereotyped, without exception. Even Australia, German, South and North Koreas, Brasil (with ‘s’, instead ‘z&rsquo and stuffs…But, who cares? Its a globalization consequence, i guess. Everyone knwonwing about other countries, cultures, costumes. Take a bit of time to a stranger be stereotyped by someone that wasnt used to be with their culture.

Now that i told about this issue, what you foreigners think about us, brasilian guys? Just for curiosity….

wow!! I’m astound me how i’m improving my englshi…

@ Flavio: Honestly? As far as I know, Americans think Brazilians (sorry, spell-check made me spell it that way) live a magical, idyllic life in sharp contrast to pretty much every other country in South America. You’re like a shining beach nation filled with bronze gods and goddesses that just lie around in the sun and have sex all the time. :O

I don’t know. I’m just telling you how I hear it.

@ Taeshi: They have rings full of drugs too? What a country!

@Taeshi: nope, that was in africa… and the drugs dont come on rings….come in tablets….XD

@J.Vincero: not that much… Some countries around us, like argentina, chile and uruguai had a little bit better economy and way of life, They just dont are more noted than us. Of course, the fact we are a huge country (in size, dimension) helps a lot, but make harder to the governament to keep in good hands a huge countrie like ours.

But, one thing you said is true: yes, we have sex all the time, or at leats, on most of time. XD

I read a statistic once that said Brasilians spend one-third of their lives having sex. Those soccer players are using their allotted sleep time for sports-making! :O

Come to think of it, wasn’t there a soccer video game in the 90’s built entirely around racist stereotypes? I’d play as Team Brasil: “Screw this, let’s just go have lots of sex with our uncannily hot women!”

Go Team U.S.A., I believe in you!
@Jerk: It honestly wouldn’t suprise me, which game was that?

I don’t know, I’m sure there was more than one.

it was one for the super nintendo? I remeber to play something called “ronaldinho soccer” , and was translated in spanish!! XD

It was definitely for SNES, yes.

I saw a Star Wars World Cup commercial… there are a lot of things I could say, but I’ll just say that as a Star Wars fan it made my eyes bleed.

As for the World Cup itself, I have no real interest in it other than to troll some of my friend’s threads on other forums; “what is this “soccer” you speak of? Derp”

Poor N. Korea players. Their entire families are dead now.

They will all bomb Brazil sooner, evil Koreans

What?

There’s something called soccer? what is that?

there’s a place called brazil? where?!

Ahh Tits!

Brazil is a state of mind: horny. ;D

I guess we’re the only 3 on?
