I am too old and heard too many soccer is a girls sport jokes to even care anymore. You don't like it? Cool. To each their own.
But what I don't get, never got, is why miss an opportunity to have a good party with friends? Every other year (under normal circumstances) there is a major tournament - World Cup or European championships! Even if you care not one iota for the game I dare you to seek out a proper English or Irish pub, hell a Buffalo Wild Wings in a major city, plop your butt down and enjoy. Hundred of meatballs tucked side by side singing laughing having a drink kicking every ball making every tackle. It's a fucking great time! Why deprive yourself of this simply to prove some silly point about sawker being boring or some such nonsense. Watched England play Brazil in WC2002. Tournament that year was co hosted by Korea and Japan so the match was played at like 2am local time. Moon and Six Pence in SE Portland was packed....PACKED with supporters! Local news showed up to cover the party. Streets shut down in either direction to accommodate the over flow crowds! A massive party. At 2 in the morning. In downtown Portland. Just because! No sport. No sport has that kinda power. Why not join in?!?
Most here claim some manner of Euro lineage. Slap on some colors grab a few friends and have fun. Adopt a club team - I highly recommend Liverpool Football Club! - but Chelsea, arsenal, Leeds, Aston Villa...anyone will do! Steer clear of Man United or Man City though. Their fans kill baby seals. Go out! Have fun! How many Super Bowls or national championships have you watched without a team you really have an interest in, but you'll watch just because...
It's far too early! Why am I yelling?!? Anyway...where'd I leave my Rockports?
