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

...just got back from a party with some of my lyric girls and am listening to a little bit of something corporate*, life couldn't get much better. well, actucally, now that i think of it, it could. but we won't go into that just now.
so i watched the world cup final on sunday. italy won! woohoo!
i feel like going to see another movie since i got a free pass to chateau because something got all messed up when i went to see pirates of the caribbean 2 on saturday.
before i forget, i want to say that it is somewhat, no, really annoying when people talk in acronyms ALL the time. it takes about five minutes to decipher a couple sectences that basically consist of random letters. i mean, i'm okay with a "jk" or "lol" inserted into the conversation here and there, but it starts to get a little out of hand when i start to feel like i'm learning my ABCs all over again.
also, greta and i rearranged our room today. i like it, a lot
as a side note: ice mountain water is really good. its one of the only botteled waters that i like..
ciao. its about time a said goodnight to the moon.
* i highly recommend that you go out and buy one of their cds. your ears will thank you.
