How Americans view football

"User Posted Link

"Ah, but look at that artfully executed 50-yard pass, the soccer-philes say, sipping their Campari. "

Yeah, I often do that. Can't find room for anything other than the Campari in my fridge once the world cup is on.

Also this, further on:
"It’s well-documented that soccer’s nominal superfans often get completely smashed before the game even starts and attack one another, sometimes resulting in death."
Yup. Often.
