Red card! Red card! The ref’s got UNO!
Aw, how cute…it’s like Europe is one big version of Long Island on a Saturday morning.
Do these guys shave their legs?
That’s weird, the fans are rioting. Why don’t they just make that the sport?
If soccer is football, but football is football then technically this should be kickball and kickball should be football and football should be catchball or something.
Y’know what this sport needs? Everything.
The Guiness Book of World Records lists Euro2008 as the SECOND largest gathering of Europeans in one place. The first is that weird disco in Times Square.
Ah soccer…the NASCAR of Europe.
So wait, the Dutch are from the Netherlands?? So who’s from Holland? WHAT?!?
Euro2008…brought to you by Right Guard. And by the United States Army…Go Strong. Army Strong.
Is this sport being played ironically? I mean, these guys look like hipsters and don’t seem motivated to really be doing anything except get a lot of unnecessary attention.
My European interests are sincerely confused at the moment. On one hand, the dollar is worthless over there. On the other, their sport is worthless over here.
Zzzzzzz…

Like any great game, soccer has its flaws. This magnifies none of them. It's just drivel.

I was in Germany at the time of the game, and I was watching in the lobby of a hotel I was staying in. There were about 3 Germans watching there and maybe 4 Spaniards, and at seemingly random moments in the game one side or the other would cheer or boo and I would be completely confused as it was halftime or something random like that.

That\'s not an attribute that\'s exclusive to soccer. It\'s typical for fans to get into big games for any sport. Of course a once-every-four-years continental championship will have more drama than a mid-season Pirates-Brewers game. At the same time no professional soccer match could rival the atmosphere of a Duke-UNC basketball game or Notre Dame-Southern Cal football game.

I personally think that soccer is one of the funnest ssports to play and watch. My mom is Italian and I have lived in Italy for about half of my life. Let me just tell you that if you come to Italy and live for just a few months you'll change your opinon on soccer completely. The Europeans dont have baseball and football so soccer is the replacemennt for tht!

Nothing wrong with stating an opinion, you have yours, i have mine. People familiar with soccer know that each half is 45 minutes (which is included into the extra time that the referees add at the end of the "regulation" time for all stopages of play to make a complete 45 minutes). That being said, there are things I, a soccer fan, dislike. Penalty kicks to end a big game for example. But, in response to your point of soccer players diving, it seems that every sport has some sort of dramatic flagrance that players take part in. Don't believe me? Watch basketball and see the faces some players make while shooting and have a hand in their face, hockey players "falling" over other players sticks, or wide receivers throwing their hands up for an interference call after failing to catch a pass. I'm not saying Ronaldo wasn't acting in EuroCup 2008, just that the same acting is present in all sports if you look for it.
