Rant: Soccer

[cardsfansince82]

Yeah believe me I was dating Jenny there was constant momvement and alot of shifting angles (remember the corollary: The angle of the dangle is in direct proportion to the heat of the meat). I tried to exploit her movements, and definitely did some manipulation of space and time. It was not awesome, it lead to nothing worthwhile. It just caused pain.

Yeah, cuz you and Jenny just didn't have it. Me and Jenny. We got it. I can unlock her defense with a well-timed through ball and a towering header.

You forgot the part about the faked orgasm.

Soccer is terrible.

If it's that complicated I'm not interested. I'm a simple man. You can have it. I'm all about me.

Baseball isn't complicated? Baseball's appeal to me is its complexity. I don't know, but I love trying to figure out what pitch a guy should throw next, and what the location should be. I like watching catchers to see who has the best footwork and quickest release. Which outfielders like to play shallow, if they were positioned correctly, which baserunners get the best lead, which pitchers have the best pickoff move, etc...How often do we end up debating after game whether the right pitcher or pinch hitter was used in a key situation? These are not simple matters. If baseball was just about hitting a ball as far as you could, I'd be bored to tears.

The one thing I hate about soccer is the flopping. It's pathetic. But I do like soccer. I like the constant motion, and come on, there are plenty of scoring chances even in a 0-0 game. The near misses can be exciting. In a tense match, the constant motion and tension can draw you in, and if a goal does happen it is very exciting...just cut out the stupid flopping. I like ice hockey for a lot of the same reasons as soccer...constant motion, lots of skill involved in both, not a ton of scoring, but exciting when it does, etc...and hockey has the added benefit of hitting and toughness (but flopping and diving does still occasionally occur, but nowhere near as much as in soccer).

I guess you are right. Maybe I don't know what I am trying to say any more. Let me summarize:

Baseball: Good.
Soccer: Bad.
Complicated Females: Bad.

Soccer fans read this and get hyped:

Man City and Chelsea are going to play a friendly at Busch this summer.

That's check and mate. Case closed.

Surely it won't top the WBC for excitement. Nothin tops that.

[jim]

I have no interest in anything to do with Man City and friendlies. Nothing wrong with it mind you, just not my thing.

[thrill]

Nothing wrong with it mind you, just not my thing.

For someone who doesn't see anything wrong with it and just isn't personally interested in it, you sure post about it a lot.

[jim]

I post a lot about everything because I'm bored. This will be fixed come Monday.

Especially since it probably will be the equivalent to the Memphis Redbirds playing an exhibition game against the Round Rock Express.
