Don't let them hear you, man, you'll be torn apart. Or at least you would be, in Spain. Dunno about Germany, but my country is utterly obsessed, to the point where football news don't just show up in the sports section, but also in the general news report. The state of the football is relevant enough to be a matter of national interest, it seems. As Shrimpy already said, basically, Germany is pretty much the same way, actually. "King Football" and all that stuff. As for the being torn apart thing, well, it's not something I'm terribly scared of, to be honest.I love seeing people with inflated egos get humiliated. That time was one of those moments for me, and it brought me no end of satisfaction (not to mention it did wonders for my sleep schedule). And I sincerely hope for a repeat of that. 35 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: PTSD time Oh hey, it's that thing that can resurrect itself ten times over. Good luck with it!

Acacia Sgt Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) I'm never been a sports person, but I don't mind watching a match of anything every now and then. As a Latin American, I'm obliged to like it to some extent. And, well, I still watched this, hehe:  Edited June 24, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) It is the sport I don't care about beyond the scope of my sleep schedule. And the occasional bout of sadistic happiness, as described earlier. 2 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Thanks, Draggy! It took me a long time to get it done. As much as one minute.

Saint Rubenio Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 How did "soccer" happen, anyway? How did America just randomly decide to start calling handball football and gave football a completely random word that has nothing to do with anything?

Because the foot in football doesn't refer to using the feet, but rather, that it was played on foot. In contrast to horse-riding sports.

Sooks Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) I never cared for sports personally, but over here the general opinion of them is not as… intense, as it sounds like it is in Germany and Spain, so there’s really nothing to say about it. I mean I could make my country proud by going football!?!? You mean soccer, you communist! but I don’t care that America has a different name for it. 49 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: As for the being torn apart thing, well, it's not something I'm terribly scared of, to be honest.I love seeing people with inflated egos get humiliated.

Yeah, we actually just had the first gay, active NFL (National Football League) player come out Monday, which is really nice.

Armagon Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hey Zombieland Saga S2 was pretty neat. Hey what the fuck was that post-credits scene about?
