Reasons Why The World Cup is Man's Greatest Sporting Event
It occurs once every four years. The sporting events that are a big deal happen once every four years. See: The Summer Olympics and the years when someone other than the Yankees wins the World Series.
32 countries are represented. Granted, there are more than 32 countries in the entire world, but if we wanted to see how Latvia compared to Luxembourg in any sporting event, it would probably involve rocket launchers.
The ability to make wide-reaching statements about how your country is better than another, especially if you can demean them with "rocket launcher" statements.
Because America is still better than 80% of the world at a sport that we don't even care about.
More flopping than a limbo contest involving Pau Gasol, Vlade Divac and Manu Ginobili.
With the exception of Argentina, attractive uniforms.
Unlike the Olympics or World Championships, professional athletes actually want to play in this particular tournament
Sometimes Sweden makes it
You can use every part of your body except your hands and arms. I would like to see other sports incorporate this. Like competitive eating.
More soccer advertising than you'll ever see in your life. Right now, this one wins:
Soccer does not suck. Do not be fooled by those dorky douche bags that you remeber from high school do not let the fact that they pretended to like Bob Marley fool you.
Reasons why / when soccer is cool:
Brent is right. The world cup is just epic. Epic! Watch and you will agree. (also, Brent is right. Nothing beats a nike soccer ad. They make me want to play soccer and tech my son to play, then I try it and I get really, really tired. I kneal on the ground and cry. Which leads me to my next reason that soccer is cool.
These guys are freak show athletes. Best in th world, or at least right there with NBAers. The difference? Futbol players are of average build. They look like you and I, until you look at their calf muscles (so hot).
Lastly, YOUR Real Salt Lake won the MSL cup last year. Did you watch it? Winning in overtime ( or whatever it's called ) on a penalty kicks! That was way cooler than watching Pau Gasol steal rebounds form the future power forward for the Washington Wizards.
Soccer sucks.
