American futbol fans are terrorists, apparently

This article was brought to my attention. It's depressing that human beings are an organism not prone to eating their young, allowing arrogant, ignorant people like Tom Powers to exist.

It's kind of makes me embarrassed to be American, really...

I read in the paper that they have sold out of shirts and flags of all the countries that are playing against England here. Not that the Scots are begrudgers, mind

I am outraged at this..... immigrants liking soccer, and so it will be easier to find them.........this is so horrible...what next are they going to catch them at an orange supply store or find them in the bean section

and immigrants are not the only people that like soccer....everyone does....I love soccer....its great.....it doesnt matter that soccer was the only sport to ironically break my arm

well I meant that its not a likely thing to break your arm in soccer....I mean you dont even use your hands ....but when you and three other guys slide for the ball and their feet happen to collide with your wrist ......apparantly this can happen

For a second there I thought he was joking. Oh well, there are idiots everywhere, and somehow the idiots are the ones that always manage to make themselves heard. Sad fact of life.

A very arrogant and ignorant article Its funny, I hear alot of Americans say that baseball is boring when you come down to it... I'm not biased here, I'm not a massive fan of football, although I will be watching the World Cup because its real football as opposed to commercial - plus its an opportunity to get drunk

Many spectators in soccer-crazed countries warm up for a big match by hitting their neighbor in the head with a brick. And as soon as little Nigel or Fiona is old enough, mum and dad take them out back and practice squishing them against a chain link fence.
That is the most agressive sentence I've read so far.

Quote:
No matter which country wins, rest assured that thousands will die in worldwide rioting. I'm going to pick up the satellite feed of The Hooligan Network, direct from Europe. They show split screen: the soccer game on one half, fans clubbing each other on the other
Oops, no it was this one. The sentence right after it.

Quote:
Yes, America may be the only country that doesn't go goofy for soccer. We also are the only remaining super power. Don't you see a connection there?
Brazil hasnt been in a war for ages. And we dont go out there saying we're as peacefull as Buddha or something. Bah! This guy deserves a punch in the face.

Quote:
Beyond that, it's unbearable. As the World Cup rolls around again, I refuse to apologize for saying I'd rather have a colonoscopy than watch a minute of it. Soccer is the rest of the world's problem. Let's not even fake it anymore.
At least something I agree. YOU keep there. I'm here, will watch soccer, will have fun, instead of seeing a lot of men rubbing themselves to each other on an american football game.

Bah! this article is completely wrong. I want his head.

Edit - just sent him a very naughty e-mail. I feel kinda avenged. Lets see if he will reply, which I doubt.

Is this guy actually trying to make a correlation between dislike for soccer and political strength? This has to be a joke. I bet anything he's writing this purely so he can laugh at all the outraged soccer fans who email him.

It seemed too extreme to be real. I thought it was a joke. Is this writer a real journalist or just a trouble maker??

They just reported that Scottish school pupils who abuse the english during the world cup will be expelled. These people have no respect for culture or traditions

Could you clarify that for me please (non native E speaker here so slightly confused)? What if they make fun they'll be expelled? That has got to be illigal.

On another note, the German-Polish T-shirt war is really getting 'interesting'. *sigh*
