Soccer really sucks, doesn't it?

[Drake Tungsten]

Please stop talking. Somehow your completely pointless rambling is annoying me far more than any of the myriad direct attacks that I get here every day. I was really enjoying this thread until you ruined it.

[Al B. Sure!]

No wonder Ming insults you.

[Drake Tungsten]

Right now, I'd rather read 100 Ming posts than one more of yours. At least Ming's make me laugh...

JESUS ****ING CHRIST THIS ENRAGES ME



SHAME ON ALL OF EUROPE

His name is seriously Daniele? Wow.

[Drake Tungsten]

Jesus. That was terrible, even for an Italian.

[Al B. Sure!]

Maybe he pulled his hamstring or calf or something? Those are not fun but his reaction is pretty extreme regardless.

He was yelling at the ref trying to get him to call a penalty.

The Italians are notorious divers. It extends to hockey also (Roberto Luongo being the Canucks' goalie who is notorious for similar ****)

[Al B. Sure!]

Wow. So soccer has a paucity of sportsmanship as well?

To be fair, basketball players often act like they get fouled and do similar extreme reactions. Men's football players don't do it too often though.

[Al B. Sure!]

I hope the ***** slap thing was just the guys making fun of the first guy. I hope...

[Al B. Sure!]

Here's a good example in basketball. The refs saw right through it as did the commentators:



Another:



I know it only feeds into Asher's basketball hate but there is a lot of 'diving' in basketball as well. I can't find a video but I know I've seen stars like Kobe do it all the time.

[Asher]

It happens in all sports where a foul/penalty can give you an advantage.

Dan Carcillo does it all the time in the NHL. But they know he does, so he gets called a lot on it.



But what does Don Cherry think?

[Al B. Sure!]

Marc Gasol is Spanish so I guess his culture is all about diving...



And if you check out the score, Gasol's team was up by 23!

Dan Carcillo does it all the time in the NHL. But they know he does, so he gets called a lot on it.

Why you going to hate on a Flyer though?

Coming from the guy who can't even find a channel on his TV... Most average viewers knew where to find it. It was only the below average morons that had to look at over 300 channels to find it. Maybe you should take a class on how to find what you are looking for on TV. The fact that the game was not on NBC but on MSNBC was reported in all the newspapers, sports radio, the internet, and extensively on NBC, during the coverage and before the coverage, all TV listings, just about everywhere. It would take a complete idiot not to have noticed it. There was no need to "anticpate"... just open ones eyes and use your brain.

But then again... you were the idiot that couldn't find it without going through 300+ channels. But again, thanks for proving to us all just how stupid you really are.

Most average viewers knew where to find it.

Wrong. The average viewer knows the Olympics are on NBC, and that's about it.

This is a dumb argument, but I'll bite. If I recall vaguely I looked for it first on NBC, was confused, looked online, and then flipped to MSNBC.

So yes Drake, NBC is the logical place to look. But yes Ming, it really isn't all that hard to figure out where to go next.
