Is anyone else happy that the world cup is finally over?
Yeah, yeah, the lone Germany goal in overtime was bad ass, but I'm so sick of hearing about "futbol" that I can puke.
Here are my top 5 reasons I'm glad the world cup is over, and why soccer sucks balls in general.
5. Too damn long
The final tournament is a solid month long, even longer than the Olympics, which at least has different events. Before that, qualifying takes place over three years! Who in the hell has the attention span for that?
4. Obnoxious fans
Mostly loud, drunken foreigners.
3. When does the game end?
Can anyone explain to me what the fuck "penalty time" is and how it's calculated? Somehow, it's tacked on to the end of regulation time with the game ending at some arbitrary point determined by the referee. I can't think of another organized sport that doesn't have a definitive end time.
2. Booooring
Watching 45 douchebags with weird hairstyles run around on a giant field for two hours, with no goals scored? Riveting.
As a hockey fan, I'm used to seeing a player have half of his face ripped off, go to the locker room, get stitched up and head back out onto the ice. In soccer, when a player is breathed on too hard by his opponent, he drops to the ground in agony as if he's been shot in the back. Weak.
