I'm just very happy to see teens and teenagers play soccer behind where I live, seeing them run, dribble and lose weight naturally instead of watching TV, video games or on their cell phone on all day long.
I like baseball, football and many other sport but especially soccer because it brings the whole world together cheering ! Did I mention it also lets children lose weight naturally in a world that is pushing sugar, fast food and couch potatoes ?

Allez Les Bleus !!!!

And is there another sport where its "supporters" have abused, beaten and killed more people that the soccer supporters? Sorry but I don´t feel connected with the players nor the supporters – they simply don't represent the values that I stand for.

Well. It sure beats baseball the only sport that is the cure for insomnia.

I fully agree.

I have a question, why do people who do not like the sport feel the need to come into the thread just to knock it?

As bigblue said, "they simply don't represent the values that I stand for."

It is indeed!
Soccer as I said can be one big party.
I can feel the fever rising in my (rather small) home town.
National flags everywhere.
Ultra big screen in the center.
People gathering.
All colours, all differences united.
Even the Dutch (not qualified) supporting our team...
