My first brush with Soccer.....

Let me say this, I've coached, played, & been involved with sports through out my life.... Soccer is a game I've never played or been involved with, until last Thurs......

My grandson played floor hockey all during the winter.... He's 5 years old... It's too early for T-ball to start, so most of the team signed up for spring soccer.... It's a short season & then on to T-ball....

I went to my grandsons first game & knew that this was a game I knew nothing about, but was willing to learn & have a good time with the grandson & son.....

First sign of trouble was a parent going at another parent over something.... I still don't know what set things off!!!! Of course it was a black parent & a white parent.... I mean these guys are toe to toe & bucking bellies!!!!! They stopped the match & parents & coaches are going at it all over the field.... I didn't know what to say or do, because I didn't know what had happened to cause this..... The game restarted & the first time ended....

They switched ends & started playing again.... Then it happened!!!!! A black kid was being out ran with the ball & he jumped on this kids back from behind & dropped him!!!!!! All hell broke loose at this point!!!!! Parents were hauling their kids off, liberal racial hatred was being spouted on the field, & coaches were in the middle of it!!!! My grandson came running out of the crowd crying & didn't know what was going on at all..... The black coach was using the field for his agenda & preaching to all the white, lack of roll model, parents!!!!! Sh-t was going down fast!!!!! Game was called!!!! I got the grandson the hell out of there as the black parents were making a big deal honoring their kids & giving high 5's for poor sportsmanship!!!!!!

I'm telling you, as long as I've been involved with all forms of sports, I've never, ever, seen anything like that in my life!!!!! I was looking forward to learning about soccer, being the world game that it is.... I'd heard about the "Soccer Mom" syndrome before, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes!!!!!

Needless to say, my grandson isn't going to play soccer anymore....

Yeah, where's the video? Heh, crazy-ass Michigan people.

Friggin' parents. Trying in vain to relive past or non-existant memories of the
past. This sports sh!t has gotten out of hand. A couple of dad's have actually
named their kids after ESPN. Insane. Sports is cool and can be fun, but a lot
take it way too far. The bigger the sports fan, the smaller the dick I think.

Most of the f**kers can't play worth a damn too. A guy at work that's all he
talks about. He's short, fat, and dum. I went to high school with him too. He
was always the last one picked, and the first one out. Typical.

I got my best volleyball spike ever off of him. Off his face, net, upper chest, net,
big belly, floor. Beautiful, like pinball.

yeah wheres the video

A proper sport? WTF is that? It's not like anyone else plays soccer! It's all lame!

205 nations attempted to qualify for the 32 available 2006 World Cup places, including the USA (currently ranked 4th in the world, behind Brazil, Czech Republic and the Netherlands). I think that proves that almost everyone plays football.

I agree with the intent of your post Rob (to prove soccer is a sport) but you have to agree that that ranking table is a joke. I mean, USA on 4th, something must have gone seriously wrong there, don't ya agree?

Well, here I read how the ranking process is done, but still given what comes out of it, there must be something seriously wrong.



And to RC: I'm really sorry your first experience turned out that way, and I would love to tell you that it has nothing to do with soccer, but then again, it doesn't help to deny that there is a hooligan problem with the sport (at the very least in Europe there is) and that it is something that I have not yet observed in any other sport, also not other big European sports (so it's not just a single continent issue either). I really have no idea why it's soccer that seems to draw in all this negative energy.

I knew that would get the forum blood pumping...

FPS out...

He's prolly too drunk to type...

I'd like to see you hit a 98 MPH fastball!

Fcuking doddle. I'd have a whole 0.4 seconds to leisurely take aim and twat it with my bat. I'd like to see you stop a penalty. You'd have 0.25 seconds in which to stop a football moving at 100mph, with your hands and into a much bigger target area. Pitcher has to throw it to you not past you. Pussy sport.

Watching 'football' (soccer) again eh?

I'm taking my grandson to soccer tonight..... He wants to play & I believe we just had a bad first game..... Any who, I'm going & looking to have a good time!!!!!!

good luck and watch out for that right hook.

Every thing went well tonight!!!!! Lost 1 zip!!!! Team Photo day.....

Was a blast to see the grandson out there going for it!!!!! He's a chip off the ole block!!! [puffs up chest]
