Only comment about today's games - Belgium rode their luck, and France did just enough - goodbye remaining non-European teams and good riddance to those irritating South American cheats Neymar and Suarez.
Yep, I'm sick of writing about football as well. So here are some quotes I copied from an article I read online recently about American soccer trolls:
“I hate it so much, probably because the rest of the world likes it so much, and they riot over it, and they continually try to jam it down our throat.”
“I don’t care how good you are with your feet. God gave us these [hands] to separate us from the beasts of the fields.”
“Hands and opposable thumbs separate us from creatures of the wild.”
“You can’t use your hands in soccer. … What sets man apart from the lesser beasts, besides a soul, is that we have opposable thumbs.”
“Soccer kids can’t wait for soccer moms to pick them up at practice so they can go home and watch true-blue ’Mercan games.”
“Soccer is played by hundreds of thousands of American kids without the slightest enthusiasm—kids who can’t wait to bolt and get home to their skateboards and video games.”
“bland and monotonous”
the “Official Sport of Terrorism”
“The entire sport is predicated on guys hitting the deck and crying at the smallest hint of contact and coaches punching referees in the face and urine and blood bombs and riots.”
“It eliminates the swiftest and the most powerful and takes for its physical standard the average European male”
“To say you love soccer is to say you believe in enforced equality more than you believe in the value of competition and the capacity of the human spirit”
“Every time I pull up behind a Ford Aerostar with a ‘#1 Soccer Mom’ bumper sticker, I feel like I’m marching in the wake of the Khmer Rouge.”
“The same people trying to push soccer on Americans are the ones demanding that we love HBO’s Girls, light-rail, Beyoncé, and Hillary Clinton”
“If more ‘Americans’ are watching soccer today, it’s only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration law, I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer.”
