Never heard of pool play, eh?

And we wonder why the rest of the world calls us "ugly Americans."

So I ask again, what sort of tournament is set to to where you can win and still ultimately lose? It’s stupid.


This question has been answered multiple times.

You don’t understand how the tournament works and think it’s stupid.


You are probably the same person who will say anything they don’t like sucks. I don’t like the Beatles but I don’t think they suck. You’d be the person who would say they suck.

Well then, by all means, your opinion must be shared.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Don’t you like golf?

The Masters is a tournament.

Did you know that you can shoot the lowest round on day two of that tournament and not advance to the next stage?

Crazy.

In 1993 LSU lost a regional game IN ALEX BOX to that college baseball giant KENT STATE 15-12.

I still have a foul ball I caught from the game.

Amazingly they won the regional and went on and won a national title too.

Crazy ??

So you are a football guy, huh? Much more logical, right? Something like LSU getting smoked by the worst team in the West last week and being rewarded by playing in the SEC championship on behalf of the West the very next weekend makes far more sense to you, right? By getting blown out in their last game you would think they would not be rewarded by playing for a championship the very next weekend.

Come on, man. You have to watch more than one game or it will seem as illogical as SEC football. You can dump on the sport, but the sport you love so much is just as illogical when watched with no other context.

LMAO. Your frickers getting all worked up with righteous indignation that I’d dare question your precious soccer. I‘m sitting in a hotel room in Mobile Alabama bored, watching the replay of a football game, and figured I’d start this thread to see how many people would get their Jimmies rustled over the fact I’d dare speak ill of the sacred soccer. The response was exactly what I expected.


Rain down your impotent downvotes. All they do is show me you are uptight, overly sensitive, have no sense of humor.

Tell me another sport where you win your game and the result is you are eliminated from the championship tournament.


All of them? They were playing for Costa Rica’s spot, not Germany’s
I mean, the same way Alabama getting beat by LSU meant they didn’t go to the sec championship

Knew it. So much more logical than a team gets blown out last week (LSU) and plays for the championship this week, huh? That is far more illogical than winning and not advancing! Without context neither make any sense.

You should stick to football with guys in super tight pants pushing and hugging and falling all over each other. That’s the sport better designed for you. You may not be sophisticated enough to watch the most popular sport in the world and understand it.

My baw…stick to models.

I mean this with all love, just take the L. You didn’t get it, we explained it, you looked dumb. Move on. Build another model,


We all do stupid stuff, no big deal.

Trying to play it off like WE are the dumb ones here is frankly just cringeworthy.


and this is coming from someone who writes poetry about football games.

Germany 4

What sort of so-called sport holds it preeminent tournament where a team can win and the result is they’re eliminated?!?

Soccer is stupid.


By this logic, Texas A+M should be in Atlanta this weekend.

Are you that goddamned dumb?
