Soccer really sucks, doesn't it?

I know you don't care, which is fine, but one day Canada is going to win the World Cup. It says so here...

That was an article by Mr Edison Arantes do Nascimento, was it not?

I've been following the thread as it is far more interesting than the sport.

There are very few things that aren't more interesting than soccer.

For a spectator sport I rank soccer around the same as golf.

The FIFA rankings are a joke. They have England ranked five spots higher than the U.S., for god's sake...

Yet still you failed to beat them.

Golf doesn't have the vuvuzelas, at least you can get a nap in.

ACK!

[Tuberski]

Alas, the reverse is also true.

ACK!

[Wezil]

No, baseball is my napping spectator sport.

The U.S. tied England and then went on to win the group, so the U.S. should (at worst) be ranked the same as England.

FIFA also ranks the U.S. behind Italy and France, who didn't even make it out of the group stage in this World Cup...

So ten out of the top sixteen teams were European last time round.

And Europe would still have ten teams in the World Cup under my system. Thank you for showing that the way to bring European group stage success up to South American levels is to eliminate three European teams.

What? Shouldn't you be using the Ben Kenobi login for that post?

Yes, because rankings, qualification ratios and everything should be based on the last three games.

If you're going to troll this feebly, at least try not to be so dull and repetitive. Or as I just said, do it under your Kenobi DL. Better still, use Wiglaf. You're usually funny then.

They are in real sports. If Michigan and Nebraska tie in football, I guarantee that Michigan won't be ranked five spots higher than Nebraska in the next week's rankings...

Any serious comment on the balls or is Drake right - usual *****ing?

[Cort Haus]

Ghana

Keep going lads.

[Tuberski]

Ghana is way faster than the US.

ACK!

After the game. I expect Drake is just doing his usual *****ing.
