That's pretty much all I have to say. Every four years I have to put up with this shit! This time around is 100x worse due to every damn dealer in the joint going ape-shit over this idiotic "sport"! Thank the sporting gods that the Stanley Cup was won in game 6, because there would have been an all-out battle between every other dealer in the casino and myself (with three other dealers who are hockey fans) fighting over the one TV in the breakroom Friday.
Andrew Ladd of the Chicago Blackhawks played in the Stanley Cup finals with a broken shoulder and torn ligaments. Meanwhile, every soccer player that slightly sprains his ankle goes down like he's shot and they have to cart his sorry ass off the field in a stretcher.
Fuck Soccer!
Three out of the first four games on the opening day of the World Cup were ties! Ties!!! This is supposed to be the most elite tournament for the sport, and you're allowing ties!! Play the damn game until someone wins!
Fuck Soccer!
I tried to watch whatever game was on in the breakroom yesterday and only made it about 5 minutes in before having to flee in disgust. It wasn't just the lousy product on the field, apparently the stadium was being invaded by locusts or something because there was this constant noise, a neverending drone, that I guess is supposed to turn-off anyone even remotely interested in the game.
Fuck Soccer Locusts!
I was finally able to watch some Sportscenter at the tail end of one of my breaks today hoping to get up-to-date on what's happening in the college football conference situations. NOPE, more fucking soccer highlights and commentary!
Okay, rant over. Sorry for the language. Please return to your normal internet viewing schedule. Expect another similar rant in approximately four years.

Classic!!!!!
You know Rob, thats exactly how I feel about Football. Al the stops in the game, only waiting for the next stop.
Maybe its that I do not understand al the rules.
But i love Soccer. It`s a cultural thing I guess.

Dutch,
I know deep down its a cultural thing, but the problem is I DO understand soccer rules and still don't understand its appeal. Plus, this rant was conceived after a very long day at work, with basically no breaks since I was just as irritated in the break room as I was on the flor for 8 hours. If I had to pick the #1 issue, its the baffling gamesmanship, where falling down and faking injuries is actually accepted and encouraged. If done in hockey, you'd get a 2-minute diving penalty!!
Hey Rob - we are going to be in Vegas late on 7/3 to mid-morning 7/7. Would love to get together with a fellow midwesterner.....we are staying at the Cal this year downtown. Let me know what you can do....Jenn from MI.
Amen! Preach it, brotha.
HATE HATE HATE soccer!!!! STUPID game!!
Very well said Rob, I couldn't of made my point any more clear.
