Socceritis

The disease that makes you want to play soccer/football.

Usually acquired after a period of time of not smelling the grass on the pitch or your own soccer boots.

The world's most popular sport

An old British nickname for Football,NOT an American one.It comes from the phrase Association Football.It was shortened to Assoc.,and then finally "Soccer".(like how the nickname for Rugby Football is "Rugger".)The word is used in:Australia,United States,Canada,New Zealand,and South Africa.

The world's best sport. To the american football fans that bash it saying it involves no skill, try the following:

1. Put a ball in the upper corner with 5 men blocking your way
2. Drible 3 players without getting the ball stolen
3. Keep the ball in the air for 10 minutes straight without using your hands.

When you can acheive it, then tell me soccer needs no skill. About you saying it's a "pussy" sport, there are soccer players that play with broken hands and/or fingers (because it is FOOTball), you can badly damage your knee, legs, ankles, etc because you only use shin protection.

The most criticized sport in the United States because of "low scoring, no contact, look gay, fags, blah blah".. when actually its the best sport in the world. It is normally dissed by American Football players that feel they are "men" because they wear a shitload of pads and run for 5 seconds at a time. Most of the time, the hot ladies end up with a soccer player.

Noun. A sport played world wide with limited popularity in America due to contact rules (and coaching staffs) which encourage players to act like sissies despite not actually being sissies. This annoys Americans because if Americans want to watch grown men fake injuries, they watch professional wrestling.

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, and for good reason. Soccer actually requires physical skill and mental toughness. Unlike lame US sports like football, baseball, or nascar (nascar for fuck's sake), soccer players are required to put in some effort.

Football players rest every single goddamn play. Baseball players stand in a field for hours playing with themselves. Nascar isn't even a sport--it's driving a car in a fucking circle 500 times.

For those who say soccer is a pussy sport, stop being ignorant. Football seems tough but with all those pads it's pointless. It's just a pussified version of rugby. Wow America sure screws up good sports.
