After we invaded Afghanistan, I was really hoping that buzkashi would catch on here.

hahaha good point, but i meant in the sport, not the fandom. Green Street Hooligans was a surprisingly good movie too.

I think hooliganism, ha, is a result of, just like anything, people get so amped up for something that they dont even control and act irrationally, just mob mentality. In america its our politics that make people batshit insane for some reason.

You must be speaking the language of a country who enjoys soccer.

Hmmm... I hadn't noticed.

(Actually, I did notice. But for all the political rancor in this country, it's been many decades since the floor of either house of Congress has erupted into violence. Why?! I'd love to see that shit happen here!)

Yeah, apparently. Can't get the damn code for this Simpsons clip embedded here.

I  will never understand people that likes baseball and handegg saying that football is boring. It is not, you just don't get it.

The main pont is, football is the only team sport whose world tournament effectively catches the interest of all the world... except the US. Well, your loss.

i love those crazy asian vids i think i saw some little asian man dropckick someone once.

It will never happen in the states though because our members of congress are all old men who dont give a shit about anything other than appearing like they care about anything, they wont ruin those 4 thousand dollar suits, sir.

However, could you imagine Pelosi and Reid vs Boehner and Mcconnel in a cage match, thats hot.

Because soccer is stupid.

I often do. And in my imagination, Boehner always wins because he's orange like Hulk Hogan.
