I hate soccer
For fear of being massacred I would wish that this blog did not have my name but for the hope of starting a ka anti soccer society I will gladly like this blog to bear my name. I hate soccer, why on earth would grown men run around chasing a ball. Of all the things to run after a ball it’s hideous. Thank God this world cup frenzy comes once after four years. Don’t get me wrong I am glad it’s happening only next door and I have watched a match or two. That’s just the problem – I have been forced to watch these matches coz the people I live with watch the live match then the retake and the analysis never stops. What I hate the most is that everyone has got something to say; everyone thinks their point makes sense more than other people talking at the same time. OK back to the so-called sport to those that are anti soccer we could start a society. And if you are not convinced why you should join the society here are ten good reasons:
1. Soccer encourages child labor. What are all those children doing on the pitch before the match? Are they are going to be paid for standing there with those soccer players?
2. You have to keep on cheering even if your team is losing. You can’t just leave the match after paying an arm and a leg to be there.
3. What’s with soccer players thinking that soccer is the only worthwhile sport? I guess it takes skill and class to understand another sport
4. They pay the announcers to say, “Oh he runs after the ball and now he throws it.”Yes he kicks it away. I don’t get that
5. I really would like to agree with the people that say we must ban the vuvuzelaz. What’s the point of watching the game when you are almost deaf?
6. You can head the ball but you can’t use your hands?
7. The throw in all of a sudden and you can use your hands. They should make up their minds.
8. The players run for 90 minutes only to lose. Save my energy for the better!
9. The referees: so much power given to one man gives me the creeps.
10. Why is it when a player scores he runs off to celebrate on his own. Most of the time his other team members have to run after him but he keeps running away.

Zanele, i TOTALLY agree with you. i am counting down the days till its over. i don’t like women who ‘pretend’ to like soccer even more…totally clueless about the rules etc. equally worse are the women who go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on naming each and every player. point proven kani… you know them….so what? and how hard is it to remember someone? – its not that impressive. its not liek the player changes into someone new with every win or lose. some of these players have been in the game for forever that if you dont know them and their strengths/weaknesses by now you are the BIGGEST idiot out there….
shame, shame, shame.
about 2 weeks to go. lets be done with it already.

you obviously hate soocer for more than just the reason stated here because your reasons overlap to almost all sports yet you dont hate those sports or at least evince any animosity toward them. Football,rugby,basketball,tennis etc all invole men running after a ball. those kids before the match want to be there as it is their dream to meet the soccer stars!!! the ones that hold the flags etc simply want to be part of a sport they love not to mention that this is not regarded as any promotion of child labour by UN,ILO the parents or anyone except you. Discussions about anything passionate are bound to be energetic and if anyone participates in an activity and at the end has not formed an opinion then honestly what are you doing? you probably have never scored a goal thus can never ever understand what it means and why the players peel away..Soccer players DO NOT think soccer is the only worthwhile sport, that is a claim you have made with no supporting evidence and thus is unfounded and closer to a lie than to being simoly false.running for 90 minutes? then i guess you despise the triathletes,marathon runners,decathletes etc like Selase,Maria Mutola more then. Your hatred of soccer is something you experienced probalbly a rowdy fan/brother/father/boyfriend or otherwise who liked soccer. i respect your opinion but not your reasoning.. its the expression of the sport and not the sport itself. if not then you hate just about every sport there is, i bet someone could come up with ten reasons to ate blogging. again i respect your opinion.
