ES Soccer Thread

I actually see a fair amount of walking and standing around in LAX and Soccer. Usually when the ball is in the offensive end in LAX, I know a certain number of players cannot cross the midfield line. In soccer, it would be stupid to bring everyone forward, so most defenders lay back. I watch alot of LAX on CBSSports on Satellite channel 613 and even when the ball is in the offensive end, the defenders have to keep position, so they aren't doing much running. Same in soccer. If the ball is on the other side of the field, you have to remain in position. I will agree that the ball moves faster in LAX (just because it's a smaller ball), but both games when you look at them both, are very similar in the design of scoring. And I like to watch both sports and I'm pretty good at knowing the rules/strategies of both.

RedskinBill, my point, if you took the time to comprehend, was that we can boil down to stereotypes (soccer is a bunch of divers, lacrosse is a bunch of meathead rapists). .

This where you were done in my mind. Are you ****ing BLIND or just illiterate? Did you not read my response to your BS? Cry me a river with your "We didn't have a field either" crap. We have played on dirt for years. Only because we are a PIAA Sport, do we have decent facilities for a HS program that consistently goes further than most programs in our HS, including Baseball, Football, and soccer. The only team that gets to States is Girls Basketball, and that coach is a very good friend of mine that doesn't get the soccer **** either

This is political crap going on across the country, not just in my area. Oh yea, you failed to respond to that. "Soccer Mom Mafia" FOREVER!

That kid has it made. All he has to do is keep scoring goals and smiling and he will fast become THE football poster boy. I'm inclined to hate him bc he's mexican, but I just can't.

Why do you dislike Mexican soccer players, FYI I do as well. Something about the perception that mexicans are good at soccer annoys me.

Chicharito

He is unhatable

How do you want me to respond to the political crap? I have never even heard of it. What that soccer moms are systematically restricting use of fields for soccer exclusively? Maybe in your own insular world it's a big deal but not in mine. I practice on a full size, pristine, natural grass field. It'll be a cold day before lacrosse gets to come in, tear up the fields we went to bat politically for, fund raised to construct and continuously maintain. In probably the twenty years of existence we already have a player on the senior national team and national collegiate player of the year. Not bad for a rural town with a standing population of less than 30,000.

Oh and BTW, my sister graduated from Duke. I've spent a good amount of time in Durham so I'm completely familiar with what happened with the Duke players. Comprehension isn't your strong suit is it? Well, then it's good that you're done with me. Maybe you'll stop making appearances in the soccer threads.

Maybe your blatant lack of respect and sense of entitlement isn't limited to message boards? Maybe you reek of it too in person so people in charge of fields don't want to play nice with you either. Who cares how far your team goes consistently? It's not how the world works.

If you don't get the soccer thing, then it's time to get your head out of your ***. Apparently a lot of people want to support it at the grassroots/high school level. People with political pull.

Like I said. What are you worried about? You're the "fastest growing sport," gather your forces and do something about it.

I dislike, nay, hate them because they are our rivals. Pure and simple. Look they may have stellar individual players, but when it's time to lace on the boots we are dead even with them. Their paper dominance does not hold up.

What about that punk moved he pulled against Argentina?

[Forehead]

Getting this back on track, should I be happy that West Ham beat Oxford in the Carling Cup, or ashamed that the score was only 1-0 and it took them until the 90th minute to do it?

Games against Chelsea and Man U coming up, and now one of the teams best players may be heading to Liverpool. ****.

he didnt do too much against Fulham on Sunday as Man U, just like last season, dropped some valuable points. Still too early of course but right now I would take Chelsea for the title.

[unsonny]

big game on now FSC....spurs vs young boys

love the Champions League!!11

[SonOfWashington]

Akron Zips ranked #1 in the country this year.

I like it.

[Dr. Do Itch Big]

Anyone here play in local leagues or something? I've been playing since I was 4 but stopped for like 6 years gonna start playing again.

[Elessar78]

Local DC leagues? So you stopped playing when you were 13?

Capital CoEd Soccer League (CCSL) is a good entry level league.

[pjfootballer]

Tottenham Hotspurs fan here. I try to keep up with them when I can. I love their name, guess that's why I became a fan. Of course DC United also. I have a friend from Sheffield, England who is a big Sheffield United fan.

Ya 13 at the time i had spent more than half my life playing soccer and by that time it became more of a job than a hobby. So I stopped but now am back to having fun. I was just wondering if anyone plays in some local clubs or something. Anyone play futsbol?
