I Know you won't be offended by this Roger-it pretty much sums up what seems to be the majority opinion In America:
(From King of The Hill television show, when Dad finds out his son has quit American Football to play soccer)
Dad: *sigh* I didn't want to have to tell you this Bobby, but soccer was invented by European women to pass the time while the men were off fighting.
Son: Why must you hate what you don't understand?
Dad: I don't hate you Bobby.
Son: I was talking about soccer.
Dad: Oh yes, soccer. Yes...I HATE soccer...
Well there you have it. Soccer is a symbol of national pride seeminly everywhere else in the world. Its funny, I don't think the world realizes how little America as a whole cares when we get beat at soccer. I've seen some celebrate beating us by burning American flags, and people here are just like "we have a soccer team? Since when?"
Most places are befuddled by American Football, and we are totally at a loss for what makes soccer a good sport.
Javal-I think I can speak honestly when I say I don't think a few machine guns and barbed wire would have kept UK fans off that field. They would have charged down the guns...It would have taken a defense in depth constructed by Military engineers over months of time, manned by hundreds of hardened veterans... Their is a push right now and people all over the state are sending money to UK to pay for the fine LOL
