Looking at all these “hooligan” violent soccer fan videos you guys posted. And you guys in Europe make fun of our sports and fans here in the states??
Nothing comes close, not even the isolated incidents of a few cities burning trash cans and flipping cars after championship wins.
The only comparisons might be Raider fans.
- US cities are big and hundreds of miles apart. In Europe, England particularly, rival towns are a few miles apart. There are 92 professional clubs in England -Fax_Benson
- at least 10 just in London. Travelling away to other teams isn't prohibitive in terms of time and cost. The US was violent and gang obsessed in the 80s.Fax_Benson
- In Europe violence attached itself to football teams. Then national teams. Gang violence + a day out somewhere different became a cultural experience.Fax_Benson
- Multiply it if your team / country qualifies to play overseas.Fax_Benson
- We make fun of your ‘football’ because it’s daft.MrT

- you may as well just watch it - you're obsessed by it and spend most of your time moaning about itFax_Benson
- americans watch baseball, the fastest and most interesting sport in the world ;)renderedred
- The Americans would ruin Watch the Wall by splitting it into 7 periods for extra adverts and giving us at least 743 statistics on that chair.Wolfboy

From this moment onwards I will refer to football as 'hoofsphere'.
I'll be campaigning with FIFA (should be FIHA) to change the name of the game that uses a sphere and hoofs.
- Would be fair if "egghand", "stickball" and "bouncityhoop" stayed as well.maquito
- Just invent a new game with that name, and no one else will play that either.MrT
- we used to play a game that was a combo of all the hand / foot ballsports. There were no fixed rules as such but any particular move had to be justifiedFax_Benson
- stylistically. I think it was called Simod or Nodder.Fax_Benson

Good luck to England today! As a passive soccer fan I mostly enjoy watching the athleticism of these guys on the field and the fervor of the fans around the world. I guess I would like to see Croatia win it all since it looks like they've never won it, but I do have a couple friends in the U.K. that are really excited and also there is all the Brits on here that would be ecstatic so that would be cool to see. :) I was doing a little reading last night about the history of the World Cup and was surprised to see that Uruguay won the first cup? I was in Mexico City during the 1986 games and remember how crazy the streets were and also remember watching Maradona live, run across the entire field to score a goal. I was 11 and I think that's how it went anyway lol. I'm also really excited for the World Cup to come here in a few years, maybe some of you guys can fly out for that. Doesn't look like I'll be making it to Qatar for the next go around but I'll surely try to get tickets for an L.A. game or maybe CDMX. (San Diego was one of two cities that didn't even put a bid in to host a game!) WTF?

Oh Lordy make it stop, so wrong. You Brits just scored a touchdown...
- It was England you halfwitset
- It was a goal you halfwit. 6 of em.Hayzilla
- soccer is considered a girls sport in US, hence why Robo hates it.fadein11
- You guys colonized Panama that game...robotron3k
- About time, given the Scottish fucked it up 320-odd years ago.

Good game.
I picked a Belgium vs. Croatia final, with Croatia winning.
Sucks that Belgium is out, but glad it's not an England / France final.
Should be a good show.
