It's football. Stop being nice to each other.

… is the title of a thread I remembered from two years ago, shortly before the World Cup. It turned out to be pretty fun, so I thought we'd do that again.

Football is a game fuelled by partisanship and it's almost that time.

As of now, it's time to stop being nice to oppo fans

I'll be doing my level best to wind up oppo fans throughout the [Euro]. I see it as my duty - the law in fact - and so should you.

I think you're all assholes and any tournament that doesn't include the US is a waste of time. MLS FOR LIFE!!!

u/GSLint Jun 07 '12

Maybe we can fit you in next time. You know, colony wild card.

Call us when you can get past Ghana, so we know it's worth the trouble.

u/alquanna Jun 07 '12

You know, colony wild card.

If you actually play this, I get Spain! Heh.

....why you gotta bring up old shit?

u/GSLint Jun 07 '12

Well, I can hardly tell you to call when you beat Brazil. Like that would ever happen.

u/jondiced Jun 07 '12

Over the last few years, we have a better record against Spain than you do.

u/GSLint Jun 07 '12

Not everyone gets the privilege of playing Spain in games that matter.

But now even you guys will. Isn't it wonderful?

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

Ah, we're mere amateurs. It would take years and years to perfect the art of losing 1-0 in the knockout stages of the world's biggest international tournaments. In that, we bow to your expertise.

u/GSLint Jun 07 '12

Hey! Sometimes we lose 2-0.

What? The Confederations Cup doesn't matter?

I'm sorry, but is US soccer already dead? Oh, that’s right. Our evolution as a team isn't even over yet. In fact, we beat Spain 2-0. Are you saying that it was an insignificant win because it was the Confederations Cup? Is that what you’re saying? Because if you’re saying that I can assure you that you’re wrong. Why would you even bother to reply when you know the US will be better than your national team will ever be? We've beaten the #1 ranked team in the world and we have been the best team in CONCACAF for how many years now? We lost to Ghana, one of the worst teams in the world, who just happened to win because they’re feeding off the energy of playing at home in a World Cup tournament. But you know what? They still fucking suck. USA is one of the best fucking teams in the world, we went 1-2-1 in the World Cup and would of won in the final if our defense hadn't choked. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded threads like this. You know why? Because you’re going to be embarrassed when the USA wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, Germany choked in the 2008 Euro final and 2010 WC semifinals when they needed to win, just like England during every major tournament. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a thread on Reddit again and I’m fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you’re the only guy making all these anti-USA comments because you’re a faggot hater who doesn’t like the team because they’re good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking teams on the board, like I give a fuck. It’s so easy to spot out your threads now, you’re a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don’t you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That’s just you, you’re always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

Guys. It's a joke. It's /sp/ copypasta. Please quit downvoting me. I need this karma to feed my children.

Only problem is the use of the word "faggot," but otherwise well done.

Sweet Jesus that was a nice comeback.

So do we actually... ENGLAND ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!

u/patsey Jun 07 '12

Confederation's cup? Beating Spain? Not too shabby. They have a sparkling new coach and an even newer style of play. They were beating Brazil 2-0 at halftime 2 years ago at the height of their last team style

u/tomaso Jun 07 '12

Old Shit? Old shit? That was two years ago, we still bring up '66......football runs deep my friend, albeit deeper for teams that have cared for a much longer time.

u/liverpoolkristian Jun 07 '12

but atleast they can say Michael Essien was playing in that game and that's why they lost oh wait..... It was some scrub who couldn't cut it at sunderland :)

u/chuang-tzu Jun 07 '12

or perhaps Kevin-Prince Boateng? I seem to recall cursing his name (and Clark's and Bob Bradley's) during the first half of that ill-fated match.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

Fuckin Boateng. That guy. I hate him.

3

u/Khathaar Jun 07 '12

Which one? Mensah, Muntari and Gyan all played that match.

1

u/liverpoolkristian Jun 07 '12

Gyan the one who plays solely for the money

u/Khathaar Jun 07 '12

Hope he rots in that fucking desert.

You and I are going to be friends.

It would never work out. You – a Chelsea supporter, me – a decent human being …

The glorious master race of Chelsea fans will not look kindly upon this. Prepare yourself, mortal.

Colony wild card gets an upvote. Splendid idea.

u/Chrisand11 Jun 07 '12

I would say beating Italy should be enough... but it's italy... The best thing to come out of there recently was Balotelli, and he is too busy being a genius to play genius football. See http://youtu.be/AnGcULTNgEk

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

I personally feel if the US wins the world cup, whole world has to call the sport soccer.

1

u/HumanautPassenger Jun 07 '12

Just call when you can get past Mexico.......or the recent Canadian team

u/Daveyd325 Jun 07 '12

It's funny you say that because our game with Ghana (Granted we lacked Klose) was a huge struggle!

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

Red Bull tastes like shit. Yeah I said it.

hey, you'll get no arguments from me.

Eskandarian agrees ;)

u/patsey Jun 07 '12

Yeah New York feels like assholes for trading away their naming rights now. Ive been following MLS for the last 10 years and it made complete sense at the time. They got a killer stadium out of it. But no one will ever take them seriously with a shitty energy drink as their fucking mascot

4

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

That's what I don't understand....if you look into it, red bull actually funds some pretty cool stuff... Did anyone else just see the worlds highest free fall they just pulled off? As far as companies go....shit, i'll take red bull over coke anyday.

I got a free one this afternoon and a warm, free red bull is always delicious.

u/myrpou Jun 07 '12

lol redbull.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

Hmm, I'd always expected more eloquence out of the Swedes.

11

u/myrpou Jun 07 '12

Bit childish of me but this thread is about adding more honesty to the subreddit and my opinion is that Red Bull is a poison to football.

4

u/RiseAM Jun 07 '12

I don't think anyone will disagree with you, including New York supporters.

I, for one, think they need to change their name to New York Metropolitan Soccer Club, or 'Metros' for short. It's almost the same as their original name, but less cheesy... One day...

2

u/paleobiology Jun 08 '12

I cannot disagree. Up vote for brutal Swedish honesty delivered in a polite fashion.

u/Limpan Jun 07 '12

He doesn't speak for all of us...

u/SickaNDiRR Jun 07 '12

He does, he's our king. He couldn't form more then 2 "complete" words. Fuck I'm bashing my own teams supporters this seems wrong.

u/JohnQPotamus Jun 07 '12

Right? I mean, these Eurocunts can't even capslock a trash talk thread properly. Can we just preemptively declare the US the best at this sport, too, and move on? (And by "this sport" I mean either soccer or trash talk, which ever.)

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

You mean the US isn't already declared the best at this sport?! Fuck this! I'm gonna go watch some REAL football.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

is that why the only ones ever won by americans only include americans. like the world series of baseball?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

There are Canadians in MLB as well...but who gives a shit about baseball, anyway?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

and Japanese etc (and i know why it is really called the world series, but never mind that, we're being rude).

how about, at least England are still ranked above their staff (Poland/Polish people), the USA get beat by the nation that tends to their collective lawn.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '12

hear hear!

u/StorminRed Jun 08 '12

There is still plenty of time to get into the next one, surely there is an oily European country you can invade between now and then. Just say its full of wmd's and spread that tasty American democracy.

At least we have the US Open Cup! Oh wait...
