Now that the World Cup has arrived, what is your opinion on soccer? Do you like it, love it, or hate it? Please put your reasons.
As for me, I don't really like soccer. Why?
Reason 1: People don't score.
Well, a goal in soccer is as likely as a home run. How many games in the World Cup were tied 0-0?
Mexico vs. France, England vs. Algeria, and Portugal vs. Cameroon.
Reason 2: Too many whiners.
In one game between Italy and Algeria, one of the Italian players got "pushed." and he whined to the ref about it. He got a free kick and Italy scored. Italy would win 1-0, thanks to the whiner. Besides, in America, you're considered a sissy if you even whine to the ref about real injuries.
Reason 3: Horrible mascots.
This year's mascot is a lizard named Zakumi who has green hair and wears green hotpants. But they had a couple of crappy precedents too. In the 1982 Cup, the mascot was an ORANGE which is wearing a Spanish uniform. The 1990 Cup had a stick figure with a football head. In 1974, it was two kids showing off their midriff.
