  1. I don't watch much soccer outside the World Cup. It's one of the only sports that I don't watch, although I know a lot of people who are obsessed with soccer. Our soccer team here in Chicgo has a pretty loyal following, and they're (Chicago Fire) are pretty good.

     

    Now that I think about it, aren't you from Chicago MNSportsMan? Not sure but I think so.

    I am actually from Minnesota. Soccer is something that grows on you over time I believe. When I was little, I always thought it was boring until I started watching good teams play.


  2. I don't get what's so great about soccer.

    1. South Africa sucks at it

    2. It brought forth from South Africa the most annoying, most painful instrument ever made, heck I don't wanna say the name of that stupid plastic trumpet

    3. it's BORING!!!!!!!

     

    My grandfather says football (Or gridiron as he calls it) is boring, but if you can watch a bunch of men just running around and kicking a ball for one and a half hours and say that's not boring you need your head examined. If soccer's more exciting than real football, then I'm Tom Brady :sarcasm:

    If you actually watched soccer you would see that it is not boring. What does South Africa not being great at it have to do with anything?

  3. It does seem quite early, but maybe he just no longer was having any fun with the game. He has made plenty of money, but will probably still need a job to get through life. Maybe he just wanted to blend in as a normal person


  4. Again, not EVERY play will be reviewed for 15-20 minutes. Only questionable calls.

    Thank you!

     

    Read the article guys... It says that the assistant referee will only buzz the head referee on the field if it is a close and questionable call. For 80% of touchdowns, it will merely be a 30 second break tops. There's already that much time between the touchdown and extra point anyways.


  5. The Vikings signed away the guy who has been protecting Peyton Manning's blindside for the last four years, so "RIP McNabb" my ass. Ask Brett Favre how well McKinnie protected anything.

     

    He's a fucking overrated, overpaid hack who always got his ass kicked by pass rushing DE's. Good riddance. There's not a Vikings fan alive who will miss this sack of shit.

    I really couldn't agree more! He is easily the most overrated offensive lineman in the game. This dude is fat and can't stop a good, not even great, pass rusher.

     

    During the post-game parties the team would have, he would refuse to use the bathroom and just piss wherever he currently ones. A classless disgrace to Vikings football. About damn time he's gone!


  6. Ya'll are making me feel like some sort of mutated monster.

     

    Yugoslavian (Serbia/Montenegro whatever you prefer)

    Swedish

    Norwegian

    German

    Polish

    Austrian

     

    I may be missing something, but that about sums it up


  7. Finally, a true friend at these forums. :):p

     

    Great to see that you now have an interest in "the beautiful game." The World Cup spurs a lot of interest in Americans as it usually does every four years, but the problem lies within keeping up that interest. I'd say about 15% of Americans continue to keep an interest in soccer when a World Cup ends.

     

    I'm a HUGE follower of the English Premier League. I must say, I'm very impressed with you supporting a lower-table team rather than a Chelsea or Man United. The MLS is nice because it's an American league and you're supporting your country, but make no mistake: you want to watch the best soccer, you follow the EPL or La Liga in Spain. I'm a supporter of Liverpool FC (as you can see by my Suarez sig). Grandfather spent a little time in Liverpool during WWII and ever since he came back and he supported LFC. I'm a big fan of Mick McCarthy and Wolves, though. Hell, he looks like a Wolf lmao. Matt Jarvis is a fine winger and if you're able to keep a hold of him (which it looks like so far), then with your two new signings you named you should avoid relegation. Realistically, shoot for a Top 10 finish.

     

    I've played a demo of FM and enjoyed it a lot. I'm in love with FIFA though (regardless of EA screwing up on things year in and year out) and I don't want to pay for Football Manager AND FIFA. I wish FIFA would take some tips and tricks from FM about how to make a Manager Mode correctly haha.

     

    My favorite parts of sports games are the simulation and management part of it, that is why I like Football Manager so much. I also play a lot of FIFA, but some of the manager mode things just frustrate me after a while.

     

    I think it was in FIFA 09 where I decided I would be a Wolves fan. I was significantly better than any of my friends at FIFA so I would always have to play as a weaker team and I chose Wolves because I thought their logo was kind of goony. Nenad Milijas became my favorite player because, in the game, he was the only guy I could score with on free kicks.

     

    My second favorite team is Arsenal. I am very excited over the signing of Gervinho for them because I like Lille a lot, too. I also don't mind Tottenham, Bolton, Newcastle and Sunderland. The things that turned me away from Man City and Chelsea is that all they seem to do is go out and purchase expensive players. I'm not a huge fan of that. As for Man U, I just feel they are too good and it would be too easy to cheer for them. The reason I didn't like Liverpool was Fernando Torres. He is very talented but just kind of seems like a tool.
