Look, it's no secret that I ain't no sports fan. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I straight up don't BELIEVE girls who say they ARE sports fans, that's how totally foreign the concept is to me that someone could enjoy sports. Like, I legitimately believe girls who like sports are just saying that to talk to boys. (#onlysemijoking)
That being said, I love me some national sports that happen every four years. Olympics/World Cup I'm totally down.
I also prefer soccer above all other sports. I like hockey too but the game moves too fast I can't see where that little black puck is 3/4 of the time.

Why Soccer is Da Best:
#1. There are no CONSTANT stops to the games either because of fouls (I'm looking at you, basketball) or because that's just the way it goes (Baseball, Football. . . you're the worst).
#2. It is easy to follow. There is a huge field and the ball is easy to spot.
#3. It's like a pretty HUGE deal when they finally score a point. I hear arguments that this is why soccer sucks but I 100% disagree. You keep waiting for that magic moment when the ball finally goes into the net and then it's all "GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
#4. Sorry, but soccer players are just plain HOTTER than all other sports players. It's basically science.
#5. When other sports stars score:
i.e, mean.
When soccer stars score:
i.e., overjoyed / ecstatic / happy tears / sheer happiness
Welp, have I made my case? In any event, will you be watching Thursday's match v. Germany? If you want to get pumped up, may I suggest watching:
This is basically our national sport, even though we suck at it and were totally embarrassing in this world cup. So obviously yes, I love football (sorry, I can't call it soccer!) The best goal celebrations tend to come from the Africans, there was an amazing one last week but I've watched so many games that I can't remember which team it was!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you really get Rugby League over there, but that is even better than football... For many reasons!
.... did blogger eat my comment AGAIN?? this is the third time :(
ReplyDeleteWatching the World Cup has been so much fun! I really like soccer and you have a great blog!
