this fruggin soccer match
 
no offense to soccer fans

better not ruin the derby pp draw show, I really enjoy watchin it every year

This thing's going on for at least another 15 minutes. To be fair, there are way more people that care about Chelsea/Liverpool than care about the Derby draw show. They don't usually draw until about 5:30 anyway, so we should be fine.

To be fair..... no one in this country cares about soccer.

You're wrong. Nobody gives a **** about AMERICAN soccer. There is a pretty large following of the Champions League.

slotdirt 04-30-2008 04:01 PM

By large he means 27 people in the greater tri-state area.

(Note: I love soccer, but I'd hardly say there's a large following of anything non-World Cup related in the United States)

I disagree. The Premiership and Champions League seem pretty popular, at least where I am. It's also a very dedicated following.. My guess is at least 60% of Premiership fans are watching this. What percentage of racing fans watch the Derby Draw? 25%?

What's the population of soccer fans versus horse racing fans? Then you're percentages will make more sense.

I'm pretty sure there are more U.S. soccer fans than horse racing fans.

Oh for God sake. I drove home like a maniac for this?

TELL THEM TO GO AWAY! :D

I know zero soccer fans...

MLS scored a flat 0.2 on ESPN, Kentucky Derby an 18.2...

MLS is not soccer.

Bad example.

NoChanceToDance 04-30-2008 04:12 PM

As a Liverpool fan, that is a very depressing

I'm pretty sure a freaking soccer announcer wouldn't know any horse racing fans either.

Comparing MLS to the Derby is equally ridiculous.

Hickory Hill Hoff 04-30-2008 04:13 PM

Only soccer that makes sense to me is for kids, I'll take football in high school over it anytime!

IrishofNDMan 04-30-2008 04:13 PM

who cares about soccer. Soccer is huge worldwide, it is nothing here.
