Random Thoughts

You’re a soccer player. That’s like one step above the usher at Fenway.

Insult to ushers everywhere. They will shortly be at your future inlaws place to fight you.

True story

This guy looks like a dildoo.

I can't wait for the day the MLS finally folds. I'm sick of hearing about the Revolution and David Beckham. Only two people like soccer Europeans and Fags.

Actually i think the ushers showed that they were one step above Revolution players.

Latinos enjoy soccer.

This guy is a "fucking idiot" because he was wearing a Yanks jersey and pissing but the B's fan from 2 days ago was OK to piss if he was doing it on a Montreal fan? Just like referees & umps, you need to stay consistent...

Billy Idol wants his smirk back, asshole.

And people wonder why we shit on soccer player's.
They're the guy's growing up that couldnt play a cool sport so
they get a large group of douchebags together to kick a ball around...
Good job by the ushers to rid Fenway of loser's like this.

Hey Yankee fan's ,You gonna come to this dildos defense?

I was at the good food store in walpole (awesome sub shop) and 2 european weirdos came up to my girlfirned while i was with her and asked her out on a date and told her they played for the revoution and she said who the fuck is that... pussy soccer players, she defintiely woulda gone if they played for the sox or pats too

The revolution have managed to climb the Boston Sports scene depth chart recently. They currently trail closely behind...

The Boston Cannons
The Hyde Park Cowboys
The Boston Breakers
The Brockton Rox
The New England Tea Men

One more Championship game loss and they could eclipse the Lowell Spinners.

Stay Tuned!

Dude, They asked her while you were with her?

and you didnt beat their heads into the pavement?

They're FUCKIN soccer players!!

Cowboy up, man....

Soccer players should learn to play a real sport like football where you put on 20 pounds of pads, play hard for 10 seconds and then take a minute off.

It's like highschool in here, all the meatheads still thinking it's cool to rip on soccer. I love it.

I guess I am the only person who likes soccer. Anyways I lost complete respect for this guy. Not because he is a Yankees Fan or he pissed in public, but who lists their favorite movies as cocktail and days of thunder. This guy is a huge Tom Cruise fan. And that just takes the cake right there.

Prez/lugnutz/mike/Kale,

Agree 100% with the first part- The Revs need to be doing everything they can to help get fans. First, its boston, the best sports city in America, so competition for fans is fierce. Second, MLS has no deep rooted history, and the Revoluation have no solid fan base.

However, you have no idea what you're talking about if you're bashing on soccer. Head over to phoenix landing in Cambridge, or McGanns by the Garden, on Saturday or Sunday morning. Not only will you find the bars packed watching the best athletes in the world, but everyone will be shit ass drunk by 9 am, tossing you under the table.

"true story"

Toakes,

She probably did go out with them. I assume any athlete is a step up from your dumbass.

It IS cool to rip on soccer player's, Glad you see that now.

It was fun in HS and is still a blast!

toakes you just sat there and let that happen? and she would have gone if they were the pats or sox? Im confused...

they had tight jeans and big sunglasses on, what am i gunna prove to some old fucks at noon on a tuesday that i can kick thier asses

answer - who knows all girls are whores

zwuwu,
That's exactly what he's saying. The B's fan gets a free pass because he's a B's fan. The Yankees fan is a fucking idiot because he's a Yankees fan. You must be new to the city.

you're confused????

I think Toakes is confused , if you know what i mean

pussy soccer players, she defintiely woulda gone if they played for the sox or pats too

— toakes17, Apr 16 2008, 10:27 am

And you'd be fine with that?

she wouldn't REALLY have gone with them if they were sox or pats players, just showing how shitty and meaningless rev players are

tossing you under the table.

"true story"

— Areyou21

Better be some big huge soccer fans, Im a good size lad. haha

I never could understand soccers draw. It doesn't help that anyone who played soccer in HS couldn't make the football team when I was growing up. The scores are like 1-0, 2-1, and there are no fights, its like hockey without all the fun. I just don't get it.

True story

"Not only will you find the bars packed watching the best athletes in the world"

best athletes in the world? maybe most in shape but hardly best athletes...

I dont have a problem with a Yankee fan or B's fan pissing on the crowd.
My problem is with a so-called "Professional athlete"
pissing on the same crowd he wishes would attend his goofy soccer
match.
He's a fucker of the highest order and Mr. Kraft is probably
"pissed" about this, pun intended...

I never thought there would be this many posts about soccer. If you guys hate soccer that much, wouldn't it make more sense to skip this story and not post your ignorant comments.

However getting back to the point at hand, Gary Flood is a douche bag.

Soccer consists of three things that I can see could be considered "athletic" in nature.

1.Running Marathon runners>soccer players
2.kicking a ball Hockey players puck handling>dribbling Hitting a 90MPH pitch>>>>>>>>then a rolling ball
3.goal tending Stopping a 100MPH death disc>>>>>>>>>>>>>a ball

I can't see how you could say they are better athletes then other sports.

The reference to Billy Idol is hilarious...

I don't there is much to say here his actions speak for itself.

Lugz,
excellent point.
where I grew up soccer is designated for little guy's w/out the balls to take a hit, hit a ball, or hit a jump shot...
(i believe we grew up in the same city,and soccer is laughed at there)

I'd rather watch midget soccer then the MLS.

As for watching any soccer, I'd rather braid my pubic hair then watch that crap.

Wait we have a soccer team in Massachusetts? Who knew?

No one watches soccer? The WorldCup final consistently doubles the tv audience of the SuperBowl.
I'd much rather watch a game where there is a tv timeout, 2 minute warning and instant replay stoppage every minute. Of course that is nothing compared with the excitement of a 4 hour Red Sox game...

"I'd rather braid my pubic hair "

nothing more needs to be said about the popularity of "futbol"

WilforkUup we did. Soccer was for a lazy day in gym, we used to play ultimate frisbee for thrills instead.

Toughest thing I ever did as a dad was coach my sons soccer teams. Proudest day was when he asked me to play football instead. I let him choose without bias, but my trophies on the mantel might have influenced his choice. I don't dislike people who play soccer, in fact some of them are fantastic looking chicks.

True story

The English Premiership is fun to watch especially Man Utd. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player on Earth. Check out some of his highlights on youtube. He's disgusting.

lugnutz

you still have all of your pee-wee trophies sitting on the mantle at your house...time to let the glory days go player

that is a "true story"

Yes this guy is a dildo for all of the listed reasons.

But soccer players are much better at other sports than other athletes are if you put them on a soccer field.

Soccer chics are awesome (see chichini or whatever the f her name is).

There is a big difference between soccer in this country and soccer in Euro countries. I'm sure the Euros teams have great ahtletes. Here we have guys who got cut from the JV football team and had nothing else to do. US soccer is joke and so are the people who play it.

The reason the "world" wathces is because all you need to play is a can to kick and a goal to kick it in.
No sticks, bats, gloves,pads,...etc.
So third world countries like guatamala and Brazil
can play this sport in the poor areas...

true story,
(c)lugz

petecrack

that is the most ridiculous statement of all time

rukiddingme08, I subscribe to the Al Bundy principle. It is better to have been great and grown old, then to never have been anything at all.
Besides I have 11 rooms in my house and I don't want to buy anymore shit from Home Goods. haha

True story

11 rooms...baller

You're actually trying to argue that a guy standing in front of a net, that is barely bigger than he is, covered in pads, is a better athlete than a soccer goalie who has to defend a net easily 10 times his size? Keep in mind that a soccer ball weighs more and can travel upwards of 75mph.

Dribbling in hockey, soccer, and basketball is effectively the same, although in hockey you're given a tool to assist. Based on that marginalized comparison it's understandable why you might not enjoy soccer.

Checked out the link to his stats...not too impressive. When the technical staff says they "See him developing in the future" Translation: He even sucks at soccer.

THIS GUY IS THE FUCKING MAN!!!

I would have to agree that the level of play of soccer here is pretty shitty but go to a European soccer game and it a total different world!!! Plus the Stadium's atmosphere is nuts (Garden last night * 10).

And check this out:

Red sox World Series winner (only played in America)
Italy World Cup Champions (Actual WORLD champions)

That said that guys is a douche, if they clipped the wings of that Pilot they should clip that Gary's tool as well.

Soccer in the U.S. is indeed horrible but like someone else said...the English Premiership league can be pretty good to watch.

gotta agree with rukidding me lugz, lose the pee-wee trophies and let it go dude!

What's the Revolution? Is that like a team or something?

For the lame soccer supporters on this thread, we can set aside whether international soccer players are great athletes. Arguably they are, though flopping around when anyone touches them makes it hard for anyone to respect their sport. There are some exceptions like that guy on ManU who kicks people in the stones who get in his way.

However, it is without question true that the douchebags who can only make it to the MLS level of soccer, a far far far cry from international play, are *certainly* pussies.

MLS douche "pounding all day" = had 3 beers at the game and a Zima as his girlfriend drove him over.

11 rooms...baller

— rukiddingme08

Closets count right? haha

tuka that was a well written and thought provoking argument. Your wrong, but it was.

I do get that there is a huge gap in quality from other countries to the US, and Wilfork hit why right on the head. Soccer is a poor mans sport, though those English guys yank in some fantastic tail over there.

True story

Petecrack,

you're on crack.

I can run around a soccer field all day and probably score!

Let's see one of you 150 lb "athlete's" try to tackle me
when i have a full head of steam...
I would leave cleatmarks up on your chicken chest.

damn , it does feel like HS in here, haha..

Wow, this argument was as tired in high school as it is now. Totally agree about Flood being a d-bag. But play whatever sport you like, it says less about you as an athlete in any instance than people want to make it.

People who argue about whether it takes skill or whether you need to be athletic to play soccer are idiots. Comparing sports is asisine. The point is that in the US, 2nd rate athletes play soccer. In other countries first rate athletes play it. If our best athletes played soccer we'd be great at it and Gary flood would be pumping gas. It has nothing to do with the skill level to play it. All sports take skill. The best athletes play the most popular and best paying sports. People who defend soccer in the US probably sucked themselves as athletes and ended up playing soccer and convinced themselves it was by choice and that they are great athletes since Soccer is popular in Europe

Soccer players "pounding all day long", one from NY. They must of had, what 4 beers.

Good take El Pres, and soccer is never going to be a first tier sport in the US for just that reason. We have the best league in every other sport, and a 10th rate league in soccer. Even our best soccer players are better off playing overseas.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see us become more successful in International competition, and the MLS does help us there, but it's never going to be a big deal here.

Lugz,
glad to hear you're son made his own decision to play football.
My dad did the same, never pushed me to play football even though he was a star in HS.
I played because I was a fat kid, what else does a fat kid do?haha. Now I coach at the semi pro level.
"So i got that goin for me"....
I also agree I dont dislike all soccer player's,
The women are hot and have great legs...cue Boston's " Amanda"..

54 comments on no Zinedine Zidane reference yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAjWi663kXc

Nothing new here. The States generally don't give a fuck about soccer. Everyone else loves it. And yes, you need to be athletic to play it. Let's move on.

Prez,
You're absolutely correct in your comment,

It's just we real Jock's know how to get a rise outta "futbol" players
It worked then, It works now...It's fun.

Of course soccer players are athletes, just not tough ones...

retards... the lot of ya

Prez wins this argument.

the most non athletic person you know is capable of running around in circles for 90 mins and can probably kick a ball thru an oversized goal every now and then....if these guys are so great why are the scores like 1-0 instead of 10-6?

There are no winner's only loser's,

and those loser's are soccer players's

damn i miss HS. haha

I'm still waiting for soccer to become big in the U.S....I've only been waiting 30 years, kinda like the metric system...Eurotrash...

This could help soccer in the US.

http://jmayers.blogspot.com/2008/04/soccer-brings-2008-naked-people.html

Good idea lugz,
the problem is it's mostly dude's in the pics'
How will that help in the US?

Oh, i get it !! only GAY dudes play soccer...got it now.

You should probably head back there Wilfork and figure out how to use an apostrophe correctly.

I forget to say I met Heather Mitts and the Goalie from the US woman's team at the Pat's-Eagles game.
Heather date's Jay Feely. I walked up to her in the concourse and asked if she was Heather Mitts, and if her friend was the Goalie?
She replied, "Yes, You must be a big soccer fan"
I said" No, I just think soccer chicks are hot so I had to say hi" then i walked away...
True Story
(c)lugz

ps: The goalie chick, I cant rememeber her name, The one that got benched for speaking up...Is 6'4" and is smoking hot in person. No joke , she's hot and i shook her hand and it wasnt a man hand! i smell a SSOTD w/heather and the goalie...

Tuka. if all you got is that, ...go home

Hope Solo I think, and she is beautiful.

True story

Thanks lugz, I couldnt believe how hot she is in person.
Heather is much cuter on TV. She is honestly no hotter than any girl you see out in Boston. Hope is smoking though...

What HS did you go to, we might have played against each other ?
I went to Voke and grad. in 91

Yes, I went to Voke and that explains my poor use of apostrophe's

Lighten up and take a joke bud.

David Prouty 1988, never played Voke though. You guys handed us our ass' every year, but 84, in Pop Warner though.

I can, when I see a good one...
find a soccer player to pick a fight with,closer to your speed

Prouty was pretty good.
We stopped playing them right after you grad.
They did have some real good teams later on around 90,91'

Voke was usually good because we had a school full of psychotic
tradesman that wanted nothing more than to hit something...
Academically, we sucked(apostrophe's killed us!)
Athletically we ruled.
And we had NO soccer team...

Nah we're not fighting. I'm just trying to figure out where I missed the "you have to hate soccer players drill" when I was playing ball.

hahaha

My first year in Pop Warner (10 YO), I can remember the fear we all had as we entered the big city to play "street kids". I also remember it because it was the first time we saw an african american on a football team, until we went to Holyoke. haha

True story

We played that "street kid" angle up as much as possible.
we knew it was an advantage, but the "country boy's" were tough kids and we never took them lightly.

I never played pop warner,i couldnt make the weight,haha
I now run a nutrition store and coach Strength and Condition.
So I guess Football has been berry berry good to me...

Tuka: I dont have the time to explain why Football players hate soccer players , but if you were truly a Football player(starter)
you'd know...

As football players we went to piviotal soccer contests, mostly because the cheerleaders would do them, but in part to support the team as well. In my school they got the shit end of the athletes, lockers, and showers. I guess the adults felt the same way, we were treated better as football players, and got away with everything. It seems to be more PC now, I coach the football team up here and we would never encourage the kids to be anything other then sportsman like to the soccer players. I will admit to frequent jokes away from the kids between the coaches and myself though.

Enough about this though, Sienna Miller's Camel toe is more interesting

True story

I love how this post is really about El Presidente giving a little bitch slap to the Krafts for the cheerleader thing.

That is why he is El Presidente.

Question: If the Red Sox are the sports/advertising mafia in town...what are the Pats...???

Was, still don't. Oh well, not sure why I was expecting an actual answer from ya.

Being a starting kicker on the JV team doesnt qulaify you as a Football player,Tuka
You sure you were not a soccer player Tuka?
you have that same smug attitude as those lil guy's.
Hence the reason why we hate them...

On to Sienna's snatch...

wilforkuup, get a life already. most football players forget about the soccer/football rivalry after HS and add 40 lbs in college and live vicariously through their glory days of pee wee football. It sounds like you're no exception. Keep coaching at that SEMI-pro level team and running that nutrition store, it's noble work you're doing. I'm sure everyone you graduated high school with is wishing they played football and ended up just like you.

Nope, never played soccer. Friends did though. Also played bball and baseball although I never hated on the hockey or lacrosse players. Must be a character flaw on my part.

duffman,I have a pretty good life, im only 10 lbs heavier than HS.I teach football at a higher level than you could dream of. Im my own boss, and I nail good looking chicks..
more than you can say for yourself , im sure.

Im poking fun at that rivalry, you guy's are the ones taking it to seriously. it's a rivalry, get it, like Yanks-Sox, jesus guy's
its all for fun.
Tuka, You dont have a character flaw.. just a smug attitude
you gotta stick up for your soccer friends?
that proves my point ,they're pussies!
Hockey and lacrosse are awesome sports, no problem with them.
enough guy's its all for fun...
Go look at Sienna's snatch, im sure it's the only one either of you will see for a while.

WilforkUup, Get a life. You sound like such a complete loser. You went to a "Voke" High school?, and you think your school dominated something athletically?? Against who? You make me laugh

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Johhny Ola blows goats, I have pictures...

— WilforkUup, Apr 16 2008, 1:19 pm

10 lbs heavier than HS? So that makes you what... 310 lbs on a 5'8 frame? You're still a fat fuck regardless. I don't know of any higher level than the NFL when it comes to football and it just so happens some of those players are my clients. That's more than you can put your name to. You're fucking joke who's in your mid thirties admitting that you miss the "good old" high school days. Yeah, that screams success. I do more business in a month than you do in a year selling muscle milk to kids who have yet to drop their balls. So enjoy "nailing" your good looking chicks. I'm sure if you had to prove it, we'd see some green tinted video showing two hairy blobs taking turns absorbing each other.

i was sitting in the seat in front of this knob. The guy was a complete ass, but i never saw (felt) him piss. They accused him of doing it during the national anthem. Red Sox employees asked us about it on 5 different occasions, apparently he played the Alexi Lalas card. To correct the reader email, one of the girls was hot (the one with the pink streak in her hair), the other was a complete barrel.

I find it hard to believe that Boston is not in Indiana.

"Dude soccer sucks its gay. We beat up soccer players in high school. We want Divsion 57 Super Bowl against VoTech WOOOO!!! GO SCHOOL!"

Ripping on actual sports was never cool. Obviously,

I don't understand the overwhelming hatred for soccer from some of these douche bags on this website/newspaper. Its almost like they're compensating for something. I worked at Fenway all through college and part of high school. I am big Bruins fan. I'd get season tickets if I thought Jacobs gave a fuck about the team. I have Revolution Season tickets because games are a fucking blast and I get bombed at every game. I go to games for all FIVE teams in Boston. FIVE.

By the way for you idiots that think MLS is going to fold you couldn't be more wrong. MLS is healthy and in the black. Most teams have their own stadiums or they're under construction. The league has a serious TV Deal with ESPN.

Oh and another thing any of you that think soccer is for pussies why don't you come down to the Phoenix Landing or the Banshee on a
Saturday morning; We'll gladly drink you under the table.

Bunch of internet warriors here.

This is truly Dude Guy central.

my fave thing about these comments is that they prove over and over again that people from boston have some of the lowest IQ's ever recorded!!
hahahaha!
boston loves its braindead!
all hail the braindead idiots!

soccer haters are funny, a more ignorant bunch of wanker's I've never met.
