Interesting soccer article

Curmudgeon, lets say Mississippi State had an official NCAA men's soccer team, and that soccer team somehow managed to get to the finals and were playing for a national championship. Do you hate soccer so much that you would pull against your alma mater possibly winning a national championship?

[curmudgeon]

Another red herring. But I don't discuss soccer, nor do I discuss fantasy. MSU will never have an intercollegiate varsity men's soccer team.

Yep, its complete bullshit, too.

If I were dictator, youth sports teams would get three trophies: MVP, Most Improved, and Best Sportmanship.

The worst trophy/award you can ever earn: Most Improved

It speaks a lot more to how much you sucked before than how good you are now.

How well one improves is a very important life gauge. I start every morning by focusing on how much I can improve from yesterday. It's served me pretty well over the years.

Sorry, add that to the list of things soccer fans hate: recognizing improvement.

I find it interesting the person complaining about the *****fication of America champions the most ***** award ever created.

Yall settle it with a feats of strength.

Everyone gets a trophy when it is over.

That sounds good. Even the person in last place could get the "Most Improved" trophy.

like everything else, it will take about 10 years after soccer becomes mainstream in the rest of America before Mississippi gets it.

Haha Qatar isn't getting the Cup. They have so many hurdles they have to accomplish to get it. It'll get taken from them because they paid off whoever to win it. One of the hurdles is to build an entire new CITY. That is not going to get accomplished. They are still pushing dirt around when they have to build an entire brand new city with a population of 200,000. Right now it's a population of zero with zero buildings finished. Oh yea they also have to build airports, roads, train stations, bus stations and NINE BRAND NEW STADIUMS on top of building a brand new city, establishing a brand new professional soccer league and figuring out how to get around the unbelievably hot 120 degree summer temperatures in Qatar. They are morons and they won't get the World Cup. It'll go back to the rewarding stage and this late in the process gives advantage to it being rewarded to the most ready nation and guess who that is? USA. We already have lined up the twenty stadiums we will use. Closest to us are Nashville, Atlanta, Kansas City, Dallas and Houston. Start making plans boys the World Cup will be back in USA in eight years.

You could argue that it is mainstream now - MLS has the 3rd highest avg. attendance per event in US pro sports - trailing the NFL and MLB and ahead of NBA and NHL LINK
