Soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking. - Hank Hill

Yes he is, and you're a douche bag.

LOL, says the idiot who thinks France has so many poor people, when the USA has twice as the poverty rate as France.

Sure, call me a douchbag, idiot.


Your post is so ignorant that I don't know where to start. You obviously know nothing about the entrenched poverty in the United States.

Edit -- to further show AMDZen's ignorance:
United states
Population below poverty line:12% (2004 est.)

France
Population below poverty line: 6.2% (2004)

Just look at some of these gems

We lost because we didn’t win.

If they are going to win this match, they’re going to have to score a goal.

Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple.

If you don’t concede any goals you’ll win more games than you lose.

As long as no-one scored, it was always going to be close.

The brainpower of soccer players.

Maybe the mods should set up a TFP second account task force? So many of these new trolls smell like him.

And the combined populations of those countries is less than the USA. People who say that Europeans watch soccer are ignoring the fact that America is twice as big as Europe. Even if everyone in those countries watched soccer, it would still be less watched than the Super Bowl.

Also Dallas Cowboys are easily as famous as Manchester United worldwide.

You have a few good points, here, but you are way off.

You're forgetting South America, Africa, and well, everywhere that is not USA--how about Canada?

also, while the Dallas Cowboys are very well known, it is the cheerleaders--not the football team. Stop drinking the dipshit cowboy koolaid. No one gives a fuck about the cowgirl football players. They are only interested in the cheerleaders. Hell, many of these people probably have no clue that they are linked to a sports team.

also, Michael Jordan is perhaps the biggest ambassador for American sports. He is the reason why the rest of the world actually cares about basketball. They don't give 2 shits about American football.

You smell like a douche. More people miss TFP then not.

Shouldn't you be trying to somehow defend your post about Europe being filled to the brim with poor people?


Or, we can just trade insults, if you like. You are an anal wart.

This thread is the reason that America is now sinking. Too many people today are liberal euro-wannabes who pretend they like soccer and pretend they like the metric system in order to fit into their cosmopolitan "global cool" agenda. If I asked this question 30 years ago, not one person would have answered soccer.

Ah, so soccer, most watched, richest and now apparently will make you cool and cosmopolitan.

No wonder no one watches American football.

I like pie too. What is everyone's favorite kind of pie? I like cheescake and custard pie.

I especially like to eat pie when watching a good game of real football (soccer) and doing metric conversions.

Don't be such a tard. Just because people voted it the most watched doesn't mean they like it. I know soccer is the most watched, I voted for it in the poll, and I fucking hate soccer.

Make another poll with 'what is your favorite sport' and the results will be different.
