Your little Oak Lawn sensibilities are so sad and limiting. There is a big world out there sparky

Well then it must be correct. Exactly 4 billion people know who a funny little argentinian dude with cankles is.

Maybe you should use your skills in statistics to deduce what that number should be.

I don't live in Illinois anymore Sparky. So you can stop with your random guesses of my whereabouts there. Feel free to try other states or countries.

On the contrary; soccer fans just enjoy soccer. The irrational, rabid backlash it gets from many of those who dislike the sport is what's astounding. Never have seen so many people so eager to make sure that everyone knows how much they don't like soccer.
Here is a great article on it. It sums up the attitudes of people like Modo perfectly (and there are no prizes for guessing which side of this cultural argument I'm on - the opposite side from them)

An Oak Lawn sensibility is a state of mind not a location. You will forever be trapped within those boundaries

Some interesting perspectives, but it misses the most important one....soccer is fucking boring. Then comes the "you just don't understand it". I do. Probably not as well as you do, but I played for a number of years so I get the general concepts. It's fun to play, awful to watch. That's just a personal opinion. The gay ass injury faking just gives me something to poke fun at.

That's fine, but personal opinion is not anywhere close to being one of the most important perspectives in regards to the point of the article. It's just personal opinion. My own personal opinion when it comes to most enjoyable to watch is soccer > football > hockey > basketball > baseball > NASCAR. But that doesn't mean much either because it's just another opinion.
You should learn to embrace is as a step in the right direction - the death of xenophobia and insecurity (or "exceptionalism" as some people like to call it). It's a good thing. And even better, it's an unstoppable thing

Now I'm conflicted. Ann Coulter is enough of a cunt that it makes me want to like soccer purely out of spite.

Perhaps you can enlighten me on your deep thought. All I see are your posts about Peyton. The Oak Lawn seems to have slipped through the cracks and only noticed after you mentioned Lincoln Park.

He is senile, pay no mind. Most people never do have a clue wtf he is talking about. Just keep your ass off of his lawn and don't take marijuanas and you will be ok.

I'd go with significantly less. I read 700 million watched the World Cup Final. 4 Billion is about 6 times that. Making the assumption that the World Cup Final is similar to worldwide soccer fans that the Super Bowl is to Americans, I would assume more watch than a usual soccer match. And of those that d watch the Final, some are likely casual fans that never watch and don't know any players at all.
All assumptions. But I think omelets number is way too high.

I'm pretty clear with my posts, at least at this time on a weekday. And I don't think I have ever mentioned lawn or marijuana on this site. Carry on with your nonsense. I lied, I think I referred to Jefferey jump balls as being like lawn jarts once.

You are pretty clear, yet I was clearly talking about eggbritches. Are you sure you haven't had a few this afternoon?
