Futbol @ MindSay

Well, 2007 is here and things return to normal after the holidays. Chelsea plays today, so I will be watching.
As I am sitting at my computer,there are three peacocks wandering in my yard looking for stuff to eat. 2 pea hens and a peacock with those incredible tail feathers and shiny blue neck. They are a protected species up here..so they pretty much have their way clear....much to the chagrin of my 2 fox terriers.
High blue sky today. Lea

Which got the FOX Funhouse staff thinking about why we like our football better than the world's football ...

Much better looking trophy given to the champions.

Overtime is sudden death ... first to score, wins.

Championships not decided by the random guessing game that is a penalty kick.

Though it has yet to happen, a Super Bowl champion would be decided in sudden-death overtime.

We won't have to wait another four years for a new Super Bowl champion.

No third-place game played before the Super Bowl.

The French aren't any good at our football.

Football has cheerleaders.

Football has cheerleaders who wear revealing clothing.

No need to make apologies when you tell friends you're a football fan.

Players only carried off field on stretchers for real, serious injuries.

There's no "magic spray" in football.

Our football players can use their hands, and feet, and whatever else they feel like using.

Prevent defense only played in final couple minutes, rather than 90 minutes.

Games not decided by penalty kicks, only kicks that are made by an undersized kicker being pursued by hulking 300-pound behemoths.

Kickers in football are viewed as small and weak, and everybody makes fun of them.

Roughing the kicker penalty doesn't give a team a free shot at a touchdown.

There's no pretending to be fouled.

There's no pretending to be hurt.

A blowout isn't 2-0.

Ties rarely ever happen.

Offsides rule in football easier to understand than offsides rule in soccer.

The U.S. would never lose to Ghana in a game of football.

Fat guys can play.

Unlimited substitutions in football make for a faster, and therefore, better game.

Breaks in play allow for much-needed bathroom breaks.

Bone-crushing hits in our football are considered highlights and applauded. Bone-crushing hits in soccer get players reprimanded, red cards and immediate ejections.

With obvious exception of Philly and Oakland, very few hooligans.

As amazing as this is to admit in light of the 2006 Super Bowl, referees are more competent in our football.

We know exactly how much time is remaining in the game at all times.

 

 

And For More, comment me I have tons of reasons why soccer sucks

France is a top tag! I guess everyone loves France even though they lost. How sweet.

Well, Italy won today. 

However, I believe Brazil will win for 2010 heh ;).

 I am still in shock that Brazil lost. I guess they have won many times and there needs to be other winners but I was hoping for a South American country to be in the world cup and not just the Europeans. However, I do have one team that I am still routing for and that is Italy. If they lose I guess I won't watch the final game. Brazil really didn't have their act together, and I wish they played more agressivly. Brazil, however, will always be my favorite team no matter what. Even they become like the Lakers and start losing a bunch! :).

Kaka looked really good in todays game, but to bad he couldn't do much! :(

Lets go Italianos! or even Portugal! I just don't want France to win! grrr :)

( not that I have a problem with France, but I have never liked them since I was little...the soccer team anyway)

I am glad Ronaldo broke the record!

But as the Brazilian President said "We might lose because Ronaldo got fat" heh :)

2010! Brazil all the way !

ps. I turn 21 tomorrow. wheee ! I'll be in Vegas too! :)
