In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'
d wager as a Red Wings fan. South America, the Caribbean and Japan/Korea all lov
e baseball - probably more than we do in the US. Football (aka Gridiron) is defi
nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa
tching it more often here and have opinions about games and players. Unfortunate
ly the most prevalent opinion is still "they dive way too much and act like they
've been shot then get back up."

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th
at you could say it's bigger in than the US is in the Spanish speaking Caribbean
islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

[ ]c12345g [score hidden] 40 minutes ago
Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

It is definitely "A Thing" but not everyone is into it yet. I would compare its
popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you

nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso

lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

Sometimes if you mindlessly drink too many fluids pre-game... combined with diur
etics, being extremely tired and constantly putting pressure on your bladder...
it can be really hard to hold it. It's also really distracting focusing on ANYTH

It wouldn't be that hard. Hockey pants and jocks aren't really much different fr
om shorts and underwear. I don't understand the need to piss when you're playing
hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to
hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'
d wager as a Red Wings fan. South America, the Caribbean and Japan/Korea all lov
e baseball - probably more than we do in the US. Football (aka Gridiron) is defi
nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa
tching it more often here and have opinions about games and players. Unfortunate
ly the most prevalent opinion is still "they dive way too much and act like they
've been shot then get back up."

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th
at you could say it's bigger in than the US is in the Spanish speaking Caribbean
islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

It is definitely "A Thing" but not everyone is into it yet. I would compare its
popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

Sometimes if you mindlessly drink too many fluids pre-game... combined with diur
etics, being extremely tired and constantly putting pressure on your bladder...
it can be really hard to hold it. It's also really distracting focusing on ANYTH

It wouldn't be that hard. Hockey pants and jocks aren't really much different fr
om shorts and underwear. I don't understand the need to piss when you're playing
hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to
hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet

e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'
d wager as a Red Wings fan. South America, the Caribbean and Japan/Korea all lov
e baseball - probably more than we do in the US. Football (aka Gridiron) is defi
nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa
tching it more often here and have opinions about games and players. Unfortunate
ly the most prevalent opinion is still "they dive way too much and act like they
've been shot then get back up."

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th
at you could say it's bigger in than the US is in the Spanish speaking Caribbean
islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

It is definitely "A Thing" but not everyone is into it yet. I would compare its
popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Sometimes if you mindlessly drink too many fluids pre-game... combined with diur
etics, being extremely tired and constantly putting pressure on your bladder...
it can be really hard to hold it. It's also really distracting focusing on ANYTH
ING when you really have to piss.

It wouldn't be that hard. Hockey pants and jocks aren't really much different fr
om shorts and underwear. I don't understand the need to piss when you're playing
hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to

hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

It is definitely "A Thing" but not everyone is into it yet. I would compare its
popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

Sometimes if you mindlessly drink too many fluids pre-game... combined with diur
etics, being extremely tired and constantly putting pressure on your bladder...
it can be really hard to hold it. It's also really distracting focusing on ANYTH
ING when you really have to piss.

It wouldn't be that hard. Hockey pants and jocks aren't really much different fr
om shorts and underwear. I don't understand the need to piss when you're playing
hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to
hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba

I mean if he was embarrassed then it really can't be that common. Especially sin

Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'

nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th

islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

It is definitely "A Thing" but not everyone is into it yet. I would compare its
popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.

And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

it can be really hard to hold it. It's also really distracting focusing on ANYTH
ING when you really have to piss.

It wouldn't be that hard. Hockey pants and jocks aren't really much different fr
om shorts and underwear. I don't understand the need to piss when you're playing
hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to
hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba

Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'

e baseball - probably more than we do in the US. Football (aka Gridiron) is defi
nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th

islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

It is definitely "A Thing" but not everyone is into it yet. I would compare its
popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

It wouldn't be that hard. Hockey pants and jocks aren't really much different fr
om shorts and underwear. I don't understand the need to piss when you're playing
hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to
hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

You don't need to remove equipment to take a piss. Just untie the strings on you

While that is interesting
That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba
rrassing. He peed his pants right there on the Team Canada bench!
I mean if he was embarrassed then it really can't be that common. Especially sin
ce it goes on to mention how after the game his teammates laughed at him for 30

Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'

nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th

islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

popularity to stuff like UFC and NHL. Personally, I have never seen a UFC fight.
I can name and recognize a handful of fighters, but that's it. Same with the NH
L. I know about Crosby, Ovechkin, and Jagr, and that's about it. This doesn't me
an that those sports aren't popular. They just aren't universally huge among eve
ryone everywhere. Everyone knows Lebron and Peyton in the USA, but guys like Mes
si, Jon Jones, and random hockey player are not widely known outside their niche
audience. Those niche audiences are pretty huge though.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

hockey though. I've spent the entire day drinking water before a hockey game to
hydrate.. you just sweat it all out. I guess if you forget to take a pre-game p
iss, you could be in trouble though.
Having to take a shit on the other hand.. fucking miserable.

You don't need to remove equipment to take a piss. Just untie the strings on you
r pants and pull them down. Easy enough. An appropriate place to piss would be t
he problem.

While that is interesting
That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba
rrassing. He peed his pants right there on the Team Canada bench!
I mean if he was embarrassed then it really can't be that common. Especially sin
ce it goes on to mention how after the game his teammates laughed at him for 30

Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'

nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th

islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

While that is interesting
That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba
rrassing. He peed his pants right there on the Team Canada bench!
I mean if he was embarrassed then it really can't be that common. Especially sin
ce it goes on to mention how after the game his teammates laughed at him for 30
minutes, another indication that it's not normal.

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'

nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th

islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

nah this is true, Gretzky pissed himself in 87 during the Canada Cup Final
permalinkparent
[ ]AnneFrankSimulator14 [score hidden] 38 minutes ago
While that is interesting
That game is also memorable to Gretzky for another reason - one of his most emba
rrassing. He peed his pants right there on the Team Canada bench!
I mean if he was embarrassed then it really can't be that common. Especially sin
ce it goes on to mention how after the game his teammates laughed at him for 30
minutes, another indication that it's not normal.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j

For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa
l soccer players, or international athletes in general.
Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme
nt, but they generally don't know what team he plays for, where he is from, or f
or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So
uth America can answer all 3 of those without hesitation.

Lots of Europeans would beg to differ on the NHL statement, especially Swedes I'

e baseball - probably more than we do in the US. Football (aka Gridiron) is defi
nitely a North American thing. I love international soccer though. People are wa
tching it more often here and have opinions about games and players. Unfortunate

've been shot then get back up."

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular
in a few small/insignificant countries in the continent. And the only region th

islands, and maybe parts of Japan.

Baseball is bigger in Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, South Korea, and the Dominican Republ

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense
ly painful but only briefly if it's not serious internal damage.

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.

The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

rrassing. He peed his pants right there on the Team Canada bench!
I mean if he was embarrassed then it really can't be that common. Especially sin
ce it goes on to mention how after the game his teammates laughed at him for 30
minutes, another indication that it's not normal.

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j

For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain

ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j

For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k

I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j

For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig

ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.

I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him
off the pitch.

See, Ronaldo is straight guy hot. Not gay guy hot. So straight guys see him and

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

him from giving blood for a couple of months (He gives blood every 2 weeks).
Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him
off the pitch.

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep
ulsive. (I'm not gay so it's hard to gauge such a thing). But I'm sure they exis

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

him from giving blood for a couple of months (He gives blood every 2 weeks).
Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him
off the pitch.

See, Ronaldo is straight guy hot. Not gay guy hot. So straight guys see him and

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

It's a bit of a leap to say that South America loves baseball. It's only popular

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

it would've been pretty much impossible to avoid media coverage, conversations,
social media posts etc about the world cup. People who claim they don't know Mes

the lack of coverage and popularity for their sport. THERE I SAID IT

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had

three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi

him from giving blood for a couple of months (He gives blood every 2 weeks).
Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him
off the pitch.
EDIT: Oh, my bad. I totally got the wrong end of stick. I was reading a couple o

See, Ronaldo is straight guy hot. Not gay guy hot. So straight guys see him and

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep
ulsive. (I'm not gay so it's hard to gauge such a thing). But I'm sure they exis

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t

it would've been pretty much impossible to avoid media coverage, conversations,
social media posts etc about the world cup. People who claim they don't know Mes

the lack of coverage and popularity for their sport. THERE I SAID IT

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi
nk I even read in the news that he doesn't have tattoos because it would prevent
him from giving blood for a couple of months (He gives blood every 2 weeks).
Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him
off the pitch.

EDIT: Oh, my bad. I totally got the wrong end of stick. I was reading a couple o

See, Ronaldo is straight guy hot. Not gay guy hot. So straight guys see him and

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep
ulsive. (I'm not gay so it's hard to gauge such a thing). But I'm sure they exis

In all fairness, Americans really aren't that keen when it comes to internationa

Although soccer is rapidly growing as a sport in the USA, many of your typical A
mericans still can't tell you who Lionel Messi is, easily the most famous athlet
e on Earth.
Edit: Sure, some Americans can identify Messi or Ronaldos face in an advertiseme

or the most part, even what sport he plays. Most people throughout Europe and So

Unless you've played a the game and know what it's like to get kicked in the ank
le while sprinting it's hard to understand some of the falls. It's easy to knock
a tall fast moving person down by clipping them low, they'll invariably go down
. Then there's the pain, getting kicked around the leg joints is incredibly pain
ful but short lived, it's just not comparable to being body tackled or punched i
n the face. So while too many guys dive and exaggerate it they are actually in t
he minority and most of the falls and injuries you see are real, they're intense

it would've been pretty much impossible to avoid media coverage, conversations,
social media posts etc about the world cup. People who claim they don't know Mes
si are just butthurt hockey/baseball fans (mostly hockey) who're insecure about
the lack of coverage and popularity for their sport. THERE I SAID IT

Not 'none', but the strong majority of people I know probably couldn't tell you
he played soccer. Shit, I couldn't tell you if it wasn't for the fact that I dow
nloaded a decent soccer app that was fun.
The reality is that in the US soccer is just about entirely forgotten. I've been
through periods of years where I didn't even a single hear a thing about soccer
outside of my old school's very, very bad soccer team that nobody paid attentio
n to and could hardly keep enough players to fill the field.
I don't hear anyone talking about soccer, period. It's not on my Facebook feed,
it's never talked about in conversation, I don't see news stories about it, abso
lutely nothing. The only time I saw even the tiniest bit of interest in soccer w
as when the US did very well at the World Cup, and during that time period I had
three conversations about soccer that were probably the only ones I've had abou
t it in the last five, six years.
And I actually like soccer more than most Americans! I used to play, since I got
that app I've actually somewhat paid attention to it, and I think it's a decent
sport.

Isn't he a really nice person who gives lots of money and time to charity? I thi
nk I even read in the news that he doesn't have tattoos because it would prevent
him from giving blood for a couple of months (He gives blood every 2 weeks).
Not sure really, I don't follow football. All I know is what I've read about him
off the pitch.
EDIT: Oh, my bad. I totally got the wrong end of stick. I was reading a couple o
f comments with Ronaldo hate and I projected onto this comment. I'm an idiot.

See, Ronaldo is straight guy hot. Not gay guy hot. So straight guys see him and
think "Damn, if I had to be gay it would be that guy." This is because he has fe
atures that make him look feminine.
Meanwhile a gay guy would see him and see a straight dude. Nothing special.

I know what you are saying. But it's not like a guy can't be hot to both. It's j
ust some guys are straight guy hot and some are gay guy hot.
For example, you mentioned Tom Hardy. Universally hot.
Take a guy like Prince for example, on the other side. Prince is thought to be k
inda of a sex symbol by men, but gay men don't really rage over him. He's straig
ht hot.
I'm not sure of any examples of men gay guys go for, that straight guys find rep
ulsive. (I'm not gay so it's hard to gauge such a thing). But I'm sure they exis
t.
