#1 "The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK will launch an all-out military strike to blow up the group's means for the psychological warfare against the DPRK," Saturday's KCNA statement said, repeating similar threats made in recent weeks.

You are going to blow up their loudspeakers? They can make more.

#2 OK if they destroy the vuvuzelas in South Africa that will be fine by me.

#3 EC your claim that in 50 years soccer will dominate the US is wrong. Gotta get rid of the offides rule, Look for Rugby 7's to catch hold especially with the introduction into the Olympics in 2016. I 've been to 3 RWC you'd never see my ass at pro soccer game. My daughter has played soccer on Atlanta travel teams for several year so I understand the game it's awful. Any pathetic poor ass country can play soccer all you need is a ball. A gentleman's sport played by hooligans....

And to stick another knife in you I just came from my son's baseball tournament, at least something is going on in baseball.

lol

#4 Gotta get rid of the offides rule

Not hard to understand

Not hard to explain:

An attacking player can't be closer to the opposing team's goal than the ball once the ball passes the defending teams half of the field.

It doesn't get any easier than that.

#5 Soccer is great, but the point is north Korea is full of lies, all lies i tell you!!!!!!!

don't those folks at KCNA ever get tired of spinning this "We are about to attack" crap?

#6 badanov i understand the rule but it's couterintuitive to Americans. You never force a Jerry Rice a Randy Moss or any other great receiver to give up ther touchdown because through there atleticism they got behind the d-back befor the ball got there.

#8 Beavis, consider this:

When you see a can in the street, what's your first impulse to do with it:

1) Kick it down the street
2) Pick it up and run with it somewhere
3) Look for someone who has a bat so you can throw it to him

Football (soccer to you) is big business and one day all your bases are belong to us. Mwahaha

#9 When you see a can in the street, what's your first impulse

usually, i wonder when the sheriff will get the inmates out on this area for the chain-gang/community service cleanup.

(i live in the south)

#10 @badanov

Tell you something: Offside is faaar more complicated than that. But without offside rules the game would look stupid.

Ah that might explain a lot. In that case soccer takeover will need more time

#12 2) Pick it up and run with it somewhere

Yes, William Webb Ellis who with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it.

I've peed on that pitch lol

#14 Since Soccer has already outlawed use of the keenest mind to appendage connection (e.g. the hand), why not just put all but the goalies in straight jackets and proclaim that you can only advance the ball with your a$$? At least it would be entertaining watching while no one could score.

#15 I like soccer, but it will never be mainstream in the US until it mixes with the UFC.

#16 Is there a database error or something? I came here to talk about the sea of fire and found the standard US/Euro soccer flamewar. Did this get munged from another thread?

So anyway I searched KCNA for the sea of fire thing and didn't find anything. Apparently they haven't used the phrase in years.

#18 Didthis get munged from another thread?

No. A preference was expressed that the "revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK" blow up those damned vuvuzelas at the World Cup instead.

That re-started the soccer debate which, IMNSHO, is a lot more interesting than reading oft-repeated NorK proclamations.

#21 in 50 years soccer will dominate the US

Yes, the day after all American males get neutered. Don't get me wrong, I liked to play soccer as a kid, up to around ten. Then my pubes grew in.

#22 Soccer - a game that lasts three hours and ends in a score of '0 - 1'. Yeah, exciting, woohoo ...

Now, basketball, THAT'S an exciting sport.

#23 Now if you want a REAL game, you gotta go for original rules Ulama. Losing team is beheaded. Winning team gets to steal from any member of the audience they can catch.

#24 1) Kick it down the street
2) Pick it up and run with it somewhere
3) Look for someone who has a bat so you can throw it to him

iv) Consider the shape of the can while having a fine lunch during the first day

E. Replace the tires on the can and hope for the best.

17. Put the can in the nearest trash can or recycle bin. Tin cans are multi-use objects. No doubt there's a novel in there somewhere.

Actually, the soccer flamewar is just the same comments over and over again. Much like KCNA, in fact.

But they'll be gone when the metric football-thingy is over.

Then we're left with nothing but KCNA.

Shot and dead is a capitalist construct. He's doing field guidance in glory land.

#32 Infielder basics 101 - get your body completely in front of the ball.

Meterball is one of those games which does not translate well through the TV. Especially if it sounds like there is a swarm of flies in your living room.

#33 I denounce your game as a religion! There is only one god - me! In my grorious second year in the Earth realm I created this game which running capitalist dogs have stolen and call soccer! Vuvuzelas will burn in a sea of flame!
Bwahahaha!
