I like the song, it's has a very catchy beat.  I can't help but think of Fozzie Bear when I hear it though, that's not a bad thing, I dig Fozzie.

And now to every American of you:

Why do most of all hate football? (Yes football, cus' American Football doesn't really have to do anything with foot+ball at all). You have such a good system, some very talented players, so why don't you support your team? Football really is the sport of the world, so why? I just can't understand this...

[Legolis]

Its not that most Americans "hate" it, most just think it is kinda boring. We see a group of guys kicking a ball back and forth with hardly any contact. Then when there is contact weather it hurt or not they start acting like it was some big deal. It reminds us of "acting" and overdramatic acting puts us in the soap opera state of mind.

See we call it soccer because you can play in your socks and never get hurt. There is little risk.

I mean when playing real football people get hurt! When LT got a hold of Joe Thiesman and snapped his leg... there is no acting in that.

I would suggest that most Americans don't hate soccer; rather, most Americans are apathetic.

For most American kids, soccer was something you played from the ages of 4-10 while you were waiting for baseball, basketball, or football (American)season.

 In most cases the guys that play on the soccer teams in high school are the guys that are not athletic enough to play one of the other sports or whose parents don't want to see their kid get hurt so they let them play soccer, golf or tennis, chess or be on the debate team or math club.  It's getting better and there has been a lot more interest in soccer here in the states over the last decade, but here in America the football players still get the chicks and every red-blooded American boy knows that.

 Also the kicking game is a very important part of American football, don't underestimate it's importance.  In a game that is a defensive battle field position is everything, both punting and defensive play play a huge part in this.  A team without a good kicking game rarely is a contender.

Well put!!!! Have some gold

In response of Legolis I wanted to post some football injuries, but only the sight of them makes me obnoxious. I agree on the dramaqueen acts we see on the pitch, they are appalling and not very men-like.
So if you think there is little risk, just youtube football injuries, you will see the risks :S

[ket_the_jet]

I don't think anyone is saying you can't get injured playing soccer. After all, didn't that body builder tear muscles playing bocce?

[Legolis]

I know what your saying Gil-Estel there are some brutal injuries on you tube!

Of course there are some injuries in socker, I mean look at all the chances someone can stub a toe or even bend back a toenail, Ouch! On occasion a broken leg from stepping in a soft spot on the turf. I think most injuries are from fans charging the fields though, people get a little crazy once its all over! 

[Witchkingx5]

Did anyone of you ever see the Hands of a Football Goalkeeper? Most of the fingers are stretched or half broken, and in Football, you canget hurt very easily if you play it fast and well; especially ingym halls where you just get the ball and shoot from whatever position you like. And the ball can be faster than 100km/h, and I week ago, I nearly lost a tooth because of that.

ON the other hand, you can also say that some other sports are unnecesarrily brutal. In football, take a look at players like Messi. They aren't that huge, but they have tricks and much skill. And that's what I like about Football.

[Kenddrick]

The best part about watching football, be it in the stands or at home, is that you get to gloat whenever you win, and stab opposition fans whenever you lose. Rangers rule the Old Firm.

[Legolis]

Speaking of losing teeth... how about the majority of hockey players! Now those guys are pretty crazy nothing like watching two people on ice skates holding on to the others jersey while taking and giving a butt kicking! That is madness lol.

Also don't take me to literally I like to pull peoples tuggs on occasion and soccer I mean Fooball players get extreme about the game.
