Coulter Trolls US Soccer Fans: Growing Interest Shows 'National Decay'

[DetlefK]

24. repudiation:

1. There is individual achievement: Goals are scored by one player delivering the right shot. The overall game is determined by which team delivers more accurate passes and wins more one-on-one duels.

2. Soccer requires athletic prowess: You have to be fast, you need stamina, you need agile feet, you have to jump really high.

3. There are boring 0:0 soccer-games and there are pure nail-biters where teams attack and defend tooth-and-nail.

4. Soccer is not about physically hurting the enemy. (Shocker!) That's why injuries are less serious and less frequent in soccer. And there is humiliation when an opposing player steals your ball or penetrates your team's defensive line.

5. You cannot use your hands in Tennis or Golf either. Different "games" have different "rules".

6. "No, soccer is not catching on in the US!"

7. "To repeat: Soccer is not catching on in the US!"

8. If every thumb had the same broadness, if every foot had the same length, if every belt had the same length, then we still would need the metric system because it doesn't depend on memorizing weird ratios between different units of length. And what exactly does this have to do with soccer???

9. "I mean, seriously: Soccer is not catching on in the US!"
