I'm truly not all that big on grammar smack, considering I catch myself in violation frequently, but THIS is one of my ultimate pet peeves.Cicero wrote:I could honestly give a shit. I never thought the US was as good as ESPN and SI were making them out to be. We wont be a national power in soccer as long as our best athletes choose baseball, football, basketball and track first. I dont blame them. Soccer sucks.
It's I could NOT give a shit. If you could give a shit, that means you care. Think about it dipshit.

I'm not sure what you're basing "demanding task" on.poptart wrote:I'll be serious too.
Soccer is a tough sport, but being a top-notch tennis player is a MUCH more demanding task than being a top-notch soccer player.
Soccer is more demanding physically by far, but tennis probably requires more all-around skill, and mental toughness.

I was thinking about this some, and you may very well be right. They're both physically strenuous in different ways, it just seems as though soccer might be moreso considering they cover so much more territory, and stoppage in the game is not nearly as frequent as it is in tennis.poptart wrote:Tennis is more physically demanding than soccer.
I've never played either at an organized level. Perhaps someone here who has played both, in high school perhaps, can expound on this.
Soccer requires a high degree of cardiovascular endurance, but a soccer player can 'coast' fairly often when the ball is in play.
The cardiovascular requirements of tennis are also great, and a player can not coast at all when the ball is in play.
No way, no how.
He's got to go balls out at all times or he'll get his ass handed to him in a hurry.
And don't look to the bench if you start to suck wind.
Nobody is coming in to save your ass.
Nevah evah.

Mgo,
The 1998 World Cup final drew a 5.7% TV rating in the US.
The 2002 final “improved” to 2.5%.
Amazing.

Would the captain have breasts as large as those on the female in your avatar?SoCalTrjn wrote:game 1 for the US in 2006 had a rating of 2.3.
Soccer will never matter in this sport because Americas best athletes dont play soccer, the captain wouldnt be 5-8 and a 143 ponds if the US actually gave a shit about soccer.
Just askin'

Soccer = the answer everyone gave KCMcRibs when he asked them what he should do to defend himself.
any other definition is a waste of time.
