Oh! You mean SOCCER????? Lol

 

[OldUncleJack]

Oh! You mean SOCCER????? Lol

yes,...the world's most popular sport!!

I like to see two up front and solid at the back...how about you??

 

[BadAmy]

Oh my... I have no retort for that.

 

[OldUncleJack]

Oh my... I have no retort for that.

..I knew I'd render you speechless one day...

Heyyyyy there is no soccer, that's some made up word. No wonder why the World doesn't welcome Americans, we insult the World's most popular sport, by not calling the game what it really is

 

[OldUncleJack]

Interesting fact,...

THE WORD "soccer" is simply a diminutive of association, as in As-soc-iation Football, with "er" added. It was, apparently, all the rage among public schoolboys in the mid to late nineteenth century to bung "er" on the end of a butchered word.

hence Rugger for rugby....

 

[BadAmy]

Seriously why is it called that here?

 

[OldUncleJack]

Way ahead of you darling...

to differentiate from American football.

I never knew that, thanks for the information. I have a new peace of information to add to the memory bank.

handy but useless!

 

[BadAmy]

Not useless... For a late night drunken game of trivia with a potential new employer...

 

[ExiledWelshman]

What a crap game so far. Australia scoring first would improve it.

 

[SoulAssasin247]

No, every bit of knowledge and information is useful. It may not build me a house, but information is used to share, converse with other and make them feel comfortable. To a shy person who is passionate about Futbol, this information is very useful in bringing out more of them.






Well going to make sure I watch more. My team is Honduras, but they didn't make it.

 

[lovetopleasewomen]

Since Italy did not qualify I'll have to look to Mexico & Brazil.

 

[OldUncleJack]

Iceland just equalized against Argentina!!

 

[OldUncleJack]

Messi misses the penalty!!!

 

[TransportTiger]

Correction: The Icelandic goalie made a wonderful guess and save!
