I love the sport. I'm sitting 25 minutes from Metlife but there's no way I was paying those prices for seats. Then having FIFA close the parking lots so they could rake even more cash is just a slap in the face to actual fans. "Late stage capitalism" as my son says...

A ticket into Unadilla only costs me $100, and I get 4 30+2 motos from some of the best athletes in the world. I'm all-in for that show.

I love to see visitors enjoying their stay here. The Scots at the Red Sox game were more entertaining than the game itself.

I recognize the Talent of the players, No High Level Physical Sport is easy : but, until they get rid of this Utter BS - people call it 'gamesmanship', I call it Idiocy, that SO  cheapens the game - I will never have much time for it.

Though, I have little time for Any Ball and Stick games. I grew out of them decades ago. I played Rugby: League and Union - both to State level, and, did some Soccer. I was one of those Kids that was good at All sports - well, until I destroyed my knees. That started by taking on a Man Mountain of a Samoan ? Tongan ?  Maori ?  in a Footy match.  Cripes those Islanders were / are BIG!

And, if there ever was a sport that seems to be made to be so frustrating for 'Fans' - the knuckle draggers especially so - it's bloody soccer. 

Sweet FA scoring, much of the time, and just blokes running up and down a field. Often times, the only excitement, being these Pantomime dives. 

Seems perfect for breeding Soccer Hooligans - so little going on, so, they find their own 'entertainment'. 

Hey Last2Stroke - you'll probably be far more observant than I - there's a TV ad - for what I just can't recall - that quite hilariously puts S**t on the 'Soccer Dive Culture', right now, in the midst of this World Cup - perhaps you can recall it, and put it up. It's a bit of a crack up. 

I stopped watching TV because of the ads!

Soccer Dive Culture has been been part of the sport for a long time...
