Soccer Lovers!!! discussion

Who here also has a love, hate relationship with the world cup? I know I do. I love it because it's SOCCER the best sport ever. But I hate it because so many players get hurt. I mean look at Neymar and Jozy Altidore and Dempsey.

I have to agree. But what bugs me most is when the players pretend to be hurt. They like go down, scream at the world, then 10 seconds later are up and ready to go. It just bugs me.

Ya I have to agree with you that really bugs me to sometimes.

I feel terrible for Neymar though. I couldn't imagine the pain he went through.

Ya and who knows how this is going to affect his physical ability. He mi h t never have the same technique that he had before. And how will that effect him, Barcelona, and the fans if he never is back to his normal self.

Ugh, that's scary. And I know. I fractured my ankle and I'm asking myself the same thing. I have school tryouts in August. You never think an injury is going to happen to you until it does.

Ya well good luck. I am am reading the Pele book why soccer matters and it was talking about how his dad got an injury and he was not able to play soccer again. I hope Neymar is OK. I hope I don't get some injury that stops me from being able to play soccer. Anyway it's scary to think about

Totally. I think I'll be ok. But there's no promises and no warning when these kind of things come. I didn't even touch the ball when it happened. Some girl with the number 17 on her shirt just pushed me. A stupid freak happening. What's the book called? It sounds good.

Why soccer matters by Pele. It talks about the world cups he was in and pretty much his life as a soccer player. I started it today and am on pg 209/292

Then it must be fantastic! I'll have to order it online. Was it very expensive? Or just as much as any other book?

I am using the Library so free. :-)

Haha, I've gotta see if mine has it then. Once I'm don't with the two school books I have to read...*sigh*

Haha ya. Well anyway I guess the world cup has gotten in control a lot more over the years. so that's good.

Yeah, even the referees too. I know there had been a few scandals with referees taking money and calling in favor of some teams. I haven't heard a single word of that happening this cup.

Ya I haven't ether so that is good. Like in 1968 this referee kicked Pele our of the game and the fans went crazy, throwing bottles, and trash at the ref. So in thankful that didn't happen this year. Haha, us crazy soccer/football fans

Haha my phone sent that twice. oops. :-)

Haha! Omg, this year though, I can't remember what game it was. I think it was Germnay v. Ghana? I'm definitely not for sure on that. But a fan in a blue shirt jumped the stands and ran around on the field. The announcers just kept talking about the game and the cameras just looked at the players standing around, waiting for security to get him off the field. But it was a tad bit funny.

OMG I remember that. it was a little hard not to laugh if you know what mean. I also think it happened twice (in different games though). S crazy soccer/football fans. Hahaha.

*us crazy

Haha ikr?! I'd never have the guts to do that though XD I didn't see the other happening of that though. I bet it was just as funny.

Ha the funny thing is that I kinda wish I had the guts to run onto the world cup field of any professional soccer feild. Lol. :-D

Same XD I know I'm a scaredy cat though. I might say to someone that I'd so do it but when the time came, I'd bite my nails and sit there, watching the game.

Hahahahaha ya I'm the same way. I'll say I'll do something crazy like that then act like I forgot when the time came.

Lol, if only we had the guts ^_^ I'll ride just about any roller coaster but if there's the chance I'll get into trouble, forget it.

Yes I can go and referee a soccer game with the same aged kids and be tots fine but when it comes to trouble you can forget me.

Haha :) how long have you been refereeing?

Oh like 2 years now.

Nice, I just started, so I'm only at a year. It's so funny to ref U8 XD they're all adorable

Ya I know right. I can AR up to u12 and center up to u10. :-)

Is it nerve racking? I'm afraid I'm gonna mess up. And then some parent will yell at me.

Think of it this way no matter what call you make one team us not going to like it, so just be confident in your calls and the teams will trust you.

Ok. I've just seen some games that I've played in go sour. I mean these parents were like swearing at the ref and stuff. I know I'm not the most confident of people so I was like, "Agh, am I gonna like break down crying if some kid's dad screams at me or what?!"

You will be fine... if someone yells at me I just laugh and ignore them cus that just shows how little they know about soccer/football

Like once a team was calling offside is there own half. Lol

Haha, thanks :)

LOL really?!

Ya it was so funny.

I felt most bad 4 George Chillieni [ don't know correct spelling ] when he was bitten by Suarez ...
