ES Soccer Thread

[Elessar78]

I had a girl tryout for my soccer team this past summer. She used to play soccer and had switched to play lacrosse but was now back. I asked her parents why she was coming back and the response was, "she didn't like all the running in lacrosse."

I was like WTF?? I cut her.

So she picked soccer? I mean, was she a goalie? Otherwise that just doesn't make sense.

You shouldn't have. There is much more walking in soccer than in Lacrosse. She would get a chance to catch her breath

Somehow, I knew this guy would make his way back into the thread, with his predictable douchbaggery.

[Skinz4Life12]

Good to see them finally get a win for Benny. Vamos!

Douchebaggery? What are you? four years old? The girl made a point, I simply confirmed it. The ball moves much faster in lacrosse, therefore more running. Sorry to lay down the facts

This coming from the guy who can't stay out of the soccer thread, but instead comes in just to throw out his dumbass little remarks and leave. It took you until page two to come into this thread with your little "see my signature" jab, which wouldn't be so bad by itself except that we had to listen to your whining throughout the world cup thread. 'I don't like this, I don't like that, soccer sucks." The **** is neverending with you.

Gee Forehead, I have been involved with lacrosse for over 20 years, and just get a chuckle when we get run down by the "soccer Mom mafia", like yourself. Yea, it's true, I HATE Soccer, and you want to know why? The supposed "pros" are nothing but drama queens that go down like they got shot if someone bumps into them, and the worst part is that they are coached to do this **** at a young age. You can't deny that this is rampant. What great life lessons you are teaching here!!!!!

It's also because there is this ****ing arrogance that Soccer is the latest and greatest. Guess what Soccer guy. Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sport in the US!

I coach integrity, respect for the game and their opponents. I instill a brotherhood in my players that transcends the sport to their everyday lives. Many of my players play on summer club teams with other players that they see during the regular season. Many of these players will be playing together in college after I am done with them at the HS level.


You want to get pissed off because I drop in on your little soccer thread? You are just as good at throwing the barbs as the next guy so Good For You

Yea we were there and had a blast! We still suck but so does philly and I can't think of a better way to spend my last home game of the season than to shut those ****ers out. It rained hard for like 20 min and nothing hypes up the barra (other than a goal of course) than a good rainstorm. Hopefully we'll see you at some games next year!

[Skinz4Life12]

Yea definately, I was planning on coming to this past game but couldn't at the last minute.

I'm assuming you guys didn't go under the overhang during the rain?

It was really pouring for about 20-30 minutes and I saw a lot of people seeking shelter haha

Oh goodness, the "fastest growing sport" argument. It's just 'cause your sport has room for growth since it's been sequestered in the northeast for the past 80 years. Yeah, small start-ups businesses are growing faster than say Coca-Cola. A sapling grows at a faster rate than full grown oak.

Are you so ignorant that you think every soccer coach in America coaches their kid to pull that crap that you see the Italians and hispanic players do? Are you so arrogant that only a lacrosse coach has the capability to teach integrity, camaraderie etc to his players. Get over yourself. Everything you said could be flipped around and boiled down to "I get a chuckle every time a meathead, rapist/murderer lacrosse player is in the headline." Is that what you coach young lacrosse players to do?

One of my most respected "mentors" was a lacrosse coach. He played at Army and coached the top HS team in the NoVA Area in the 90s. He respected soccer and had no gripes about it. But you just have a complex about it. Inferiority?

Looking forward to the Blackburn/Arsenal game this week. Nervous that Blackburn will get lit up, but I haven't seen them play in 5 years now. Will be good to catch a glimpse of them outside of highlights.

And this soccer sucks mantra is old. Some don't like it, we get it. End of.
