A sport that Americans don't like, and the rest of the world does. Americans are constantly called ignorant and stupid for not liking it, because we aren't obsessed with it like everyone else is. The only sport that requires training in the art of footsy, and extensive acting lessons in faking injuries in order to play
"Aaaand here we go. Here's a pass. And then another pass. Je passes it again, and it's taken away! Now the ball is going the other direction. There's a pass, and another one, oh no! That guy got kicked in the leg, he's crying and rolling on the ground in agony! Nope, nevermind he's all right now. And here's a pass. Another pass. Aaaand another. Now a backwards pass. He shoots, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAL!"
And after 20 minutes of players prancing around celebrating, were underway once again. He passes the ball. There's another pass. Another. And another. Soccer Is so much fun. Ooh another pass..."

Get the Soccermug. Soccer (a.k.a Football, The Beautiful Game) is a sport that has been played in one form or another throughout the world for at least 2000 years. No one has the right to claim it as a sport they invented, neither the British, French, Chinese nor any others. This sport has evolved over the centuries and has adopted characteristics from around the world. The English in the 1800's were the first to create a Football Association, regulating the sport and creating the basis of the "Laws" we know today, they did not invent the sport, the Brit's formalized it. Before anyone comments further on who invented the sport and it's origins please do you research. Start at the official FIFA website, they have a breif history of the sport on their website.
P.S: Soccer is a word invented in England, it is a bastardization on the word "Association Football" to distinguish between Rugby Football (a.k.a Rugger) and Association Football (a.k.a Soccer) on University campus in the 1800's where both sports were played.
To all my English/UK friends ... stop complaining, you invented the word we use today. :-)

Yank: You play Soccer?
Brit: What's Soccer, mate?
Yank: You know it as Football.
Brit: Why do you Yanks call it Soccer.
Yank: I don't know, why did you Brit's invent the word?

Get the Soccermug. Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. Its played by overpaid sissy men on a field you could land a 747 on. The goalies defend a net you could park a semi trailer in which is the hardest job on the field. Sometimes goalies are expected to stop in excess of three shots per game.
The most frequently used strategy in soccer involves lying on the the field and writhing around and crying at the smallest semblance of physical contact. Often times when no contact has even occurred but the refs weren't looking. This will get you a free shot that will probably miss the net anyways because hitting a 40 foot wide net is somehow hard.
Sure soccer players can run for extended periods of time as if that is supposed to get me to respect them. Who cares? They should try playing ice hockey where you have to skate the whole time with a lot of equipment on and can't run out of bounds like the girly soccer players. In fact I defy any soccer player to willingly jump in front of a 110 mph shot.
Soccer is also a convenient excuse to display cultural and racial intolerance in the form of riots and murder. Property damage is also usually on display before during and after a soccer match.
Because if watching a 4 hour game that ends in a 0-0 tie with 4 shots on goal between teams doesn't make you want to trample children and throw Molotov's at the police I don't know what will.
But as long as they can run around for extended periods of time most of Europeans will love it.

Jesus that soccer match sure was boring. I fell asleep halfway through because it's just a bunch of guys running around not doing anything. But at least it picked up with the post game race riot.

Get the Soccermug. Alternative name of football which is hated by real football fans. Used by Americans and other people who practice sad sports which they also believe to be called football (e.g GAA fans.) Those who use this word are often deserving of ridicule.
Yank: Hey dude what franchise is that shirt you're wearing?
Brit: Em it's a Liverpool Football shirt
Yank: NFL??
Brit: Na Premiership in England
Yank: Oh right, soccer man!!
Brit: Use that derogatory word again and I will rip your American testicles off ok?

Get the Soccermug. Sport in which its diehard fans are completely self-righteous and dilusional. With that aside, soccer is an excellent sport that requires extreme stamina and coordination. Soccer (as with any other sport due to differing skill sets) should not be considered a superior or inferior form of sport.
