So, at the moment we're watching the FIFA Poland vs. Brazil game. I think the only reason why it's making TV here is because the games are being held in Canada this year (which is kind of sad, since no one here really cares).

Watching the game, and comparing it to the hockey was recently watching, I've come to the conclusion that the people of Canada/N. America would like watching it more if the soccer players weren't such pussies.

For god's sake they trip and they stay down rolling around the field as if they can't get up just to stop the game.

In hockey, if you go down, and don't get up, chances are you're out of the game because you're hurt so badly. It just leaves me kind of disgusted watching these pro soccer games. :S

In this part of the country, at least, people don't watch soccer because American football is the bestest sport evah! *sigh* And they're pussies, too! Do they really need all that padding? No! I much prefer soccer (although I usually confuse the hell out of people and call it football) because at least they're *moving* for most of the time.

I think American football is about the last sport I'd sit down and watch... Every once in a while my dad'll be watching those sports shows where they show the top 10/20/100/whatever, blunders/best moves/best games/whatever, and there's always a ton of football stuff in it, and half the time I don't even know what the heck I just watched, let alone why I'm supposed to be impressed by it. :P

I don't actually have a problem with padding. It's always so sad when someone's career is over because of a stupid injury, so I'm all for the padding. :P

That was something that confused the hell out of me in China, which is it? They're very British in their vocabulary, but they're moving towards American English. I think it really came down to whatever the person had been taught.
