What's on your mug?

shit name for football

By me

Soccer (a.k.a Football, The Beautiful Game) is a sport that has been played in one form or another throughout the world for at least 2000 years. No one has the right to claim it as a sport they invented, neither the British, French, Chinese nor any others. This sport has evolved over the centuries and has adopted characteristics from around the world. The English in the 1800's were the first to create a Football Association, regulating the sport and creating the basis of the "Laws" we know today, they did not invent the sport, the Brit's formalized it. Before anyone comments further on who invented the sport and it's origins please do you research. Start at the official FIFA website, they have a breif history of the sport on their website. P.S: Soccer is a word invented in England, it is a bastardization on the word "Association Football" to distinguish between Rugby Football (a.k.a Rugger) and Association Football (a.k.a Soccer) on University campus in the 1800's where both sports were played. To all my English/UK friends ... stop complaining, you invented the word we use today. :-)

Yank: You play Soccer? Brit: What's Soccer, mate? Yank: You know it as Football. Brit: Why do you Yanks call it Soccer. Yank: I don't know, why did you Brit's invent the word?

a sport invented by the chinese 500 years ago. They used a ball made of leather, and eventually the sport migrated over to Europe and them fucking Brits think they invented it. Soccer is fucking awesome and no sport can beat it well maybe rugby, but DEFINITLY NOT AMERICAN FOOTBALL. Some amazing players that play soccer are Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Pele, and Shevchenko :).

By far and unfortunately, the most popular sport in the world. These players get taken off in stretchers over a rolled ankle, they whine and complain and cry over the tiniest injuries. EVERYtime they fall, you can be sure they won't get up after a few minutes. Sure, it's straight running for 45 minutes for two halves. Who gives a shit? Cross Country you run A LOT more, but does that make Cross Country more of a sport than Soccer? Probably not. Then there's this moving backwards and passing backwards which means VERY LITTLE scoring which makes it impossible to watch. Yeah, only a true soccer fan can detect the eye-popping moves, not the case for the casual sports fan. Sure it takes a lot of skill, and I mean A LOT of skill to play soccer, but it's not very noticable and not very entertaining... at all. Oh, and no sport should EVER be a sport if it ends in a fucking TIE. Ties do not show what team is better and it's never worth watching 3 seconds of the match if you know it's going to end in a tie. Meanwhile, you got one handed touchdowns, slam dunks, and home runs. Then you got TOUGH athletes like Donovan McNabb playing on one leg, Brett Favre throwing TDs with 2 working fingers, and Richard Hamilton scoring 25 points with a broken face. Then there's Michael Jordan's last second shots and John Elway's last minute drives. There's not much you can expect in the last minute of soccer games. And yes, American Football players do wear pads. You say soccer doesn't need pads because that makes them tougher? Think again. Football is SO FUCKING TOUGH that you NEED to have pads. And even with pads, it still makes football a much tougher sport. You can't even compare soccer to football, so stop trying. Look, I'll admit soccer requires the most skill and the most eye coordination and is very exhausting. But that in any way or form of meaning DOES NOT MAKE IT BETTER OR MORE ENTERTAINING THAN OTHER SPORTS. The more you say or think about it, the more you are a disgrace to the wide wide wide world of sports.

Soccer is so boring, I'd much rather watch paint dry.
