Don't take much to get to you, does it Zack?
I have never watched a soccer game in my life. Actually, the same goes for hockey. I'll watch a basketball game if the only alternative is Hee Haw reruns.
Seriously, I just never could get into soccer or hockey. I can watch curling. The 2 people with the brooms just makes me wonder who the hell thought that "sport" up.
I can watch golf if there is a few players close in the 4th round. If someone is ahead by 18 strokes, I don't bother.
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY my friend, and I'll have some scotch and wish you many more.

Is soccer a sport? For those about to slay me.....it's a joke. I've found that having to explain humor is sometimes a necessity here.
^^^ hahahahaha
From what I've seen of soccer, it just seems like it has no direction. In football, you try to go from your 20 yard line to your opponents goal line. There is a certain logic in that. Soccer, it appears, they just kick the ball anyplace on the field just to see what happens. It also appears that they can't pick the ball up and run with it, but they can hit it with other parts of their bodies and, I guess, hope that it goes in the right direction, which doesn't seem to happen often as seen by the scores which are usually 1-0, or 2-1 after running around for 90 minutes. They don't have scores like 35-28, which seems to only happen in football. It's kind of like bumper cars without the bumper cars.
I'll take curling which seems to be all offense and no defense. When it's 1 teams turn, they slide that stone and hope that the 2 people with the brooms can guide it into the bullseye, and the other team can do nothing but watch. There is no bloodshed, nobody gets carted off a curling "field" with a concussion. It's all very civilized.
Of course you can go to some bars where the local sport is big people throwing little people as far as they can, kind of like the shot put for drunks.
In my younger days, my favorite "sport" was sitting around the hotel pool with a beer and my binoculars checking out the bikini chicks. I think that that is a sport. I don't know if it has a official name, but voyeurism sounds about right.

Mike, that is never going to happen. I know it's the most popular sport in the world, but, I (1 Have absolutely no idea who's playing, nor do I care, 2 When I said I would watch curling, I was being totally serious. I don't watch the whole competition from beginning to end, but watching those 2 people with the brooms I find interesting to a point. I don't know which teams are playing (Winter Olympics, for instance) nor do I care who wins the overall competition. If it's on, I can watch it for about as long as it takes me to drink a beer. I do wonder who came up with it, but about all I know for sure is that it probably didn't originate in Florida.
All the above holds true for hockey.
