But the real World Cup isn't until next year?

Oh wait, you all are talking about that dive meet about to start in RSA aren't you?

I kid, I'll watch some of it.... I'm sure it'll be on the tv's in the office.

No, we are talking about real football, not that American football where you use your hands more then your feet and where the sissies wear helmets and shoulderpats (which is soooooooooooooooooo 80's)

Soccer's a great game........ for those are too small and fragile to play real footie, and no American football is not real footie. It is mildly ironic though that you'd jump to that conclusion when I clearly reference the fact that the real World Cup is next year and my avatar is a silver fern on an All Black field I am however looking forward to seeing a good haka or 2 from the All Whites in the coming weeks.

I'm also not 100% sure that throwing around words like "sissy" is really the strongest defensive stance possible for a non-contact sport played by a bunch of delicate flowers who, when barely tapped on the ankle or shin, frequently spend much of their time rolling around clutching their faces (or whatever part of their body they think is most dramatic) screaming in fake pain like little babies in an attempt to draw a penalty and yet magically "heal" as soon as the ref stops looking.

That to me is is far far closer to being a "sissy" or "pansy" than anything you'll see on a real football pitch..... or even from the "sissies" wearing helmets and shoulder pads.

When it gets to the pro level, there are no sissies in any sport. The stakes are too high, players are getting paid too much for anything less than 100%, and the fans would not watch if it was anything less.
