We haven't won the world cup yet but we did win the Euro Cup and apart from Brazil and Argentina the best Soccer countries in the world are from Europe..

I see, I'm not sure what to believe since I don't follow gay sports. I'm American by birth, so naturally I don't follow European "sports"

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

Dirk you left the Netherlands for the "godly'' USA?

Not yet, but I soon will.
I still need to say goodbye to all my students.

I actualy play soccer and it does require skills when played correctly, in Holland a lot of people play soccer and we're good at it (Nr 4 of the world)
The world cup brings people together and makes us forget all the wars and problems for a while...

You're good at it, I knew it! That's why Holland has won the World Cup back in............when was it again?

Actually not all sports that can be played by girls that boys also play are gay. Rugby Union is not usually gay.

For girls it is.

Not only is soccer a kids game, but some of the kids playing it are girls!

Any sport that can be played by girls that boys also play is , by definition, gay.

Take figure skating--duh! Take baseball-- boys play it, but girls play softball.

Now take football-- there is no girls' football! Football is warrior training and girls are not fit for such activity. Girls cheer on the warrior/players as is right in God's eyes. Just as the women of the Bible praised David in his victories.

I Samuel 21:11- "Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands?"


Goooo David! Or better yet, Goooooo Jesus!

New Zealand's Black Ferns are the Women's Rugby (Union) World Cup Champions. The first Women's Rugby World Cup was held in 1991, and won by the United States of America!

2010 Women's World Cup: Black Ferns countdown


James Mortimer - (14/05/2010)

Just over three months, and under 100 days until the current World Champions, the Black Ferns, begin their title defence with a match against the South African women at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford, England.



The sixth edition of the Women’s World Cup will see the Black Ferns not only attempt to defend their title, but also try to win their fourth consecutive global crown, having won in Netherlands, Spain and Canada over the last 12 years.

This year there is clearly a considerable focus on Women’s rugby, with the Rugby Football Union for Women (RFUW) and organising body Rugby World Cup Limited (RWCL) keen to deliver a memorable and exciting tournament, played in England over August and September.

RWCL Chairman Bernard Lapasset heralded the countdown of the tournament, with an official function held midweek to celebrate the 100 day mark.

“This landmark represents the countdown to what promises to be a memorable and ultimately successful Women's Rugby World Cup,” Lapasset said to www.rwcwomens.com

“In 100 days' time, the top 12 international teams in the world will compete for the ultimate prize in Women's fifteen-a-side rugby in what will be a true celebration of the strength and stature of the Women's game.”

“We are confident that planning and preparation are ahead of schedule and excitement around the tournament is growing by the day.”

The Black Ferns have had a mixed build up.

Cancellation of the Women’s NPC was an unfortunate but necessary manoeuvre after the challenging financial landscape post Global Financial Crisis. The proposed series against Canada also fell through, leaving the New Zealand women with no top level competition, but the act had a silver lining for the World Champions.

The Black Ferns have been able to spend a large amount of time together as a unit, and knew too well they were far from untouchable as a world power, considering their loss to England in their final game at Twickenham late last year.

Vicky Heighway, who was the captain of the Black Ferns on last year’s English tour (beat England A, and drew the two test series with England), reflected on the team as the build up began to move up a notch.

"In many ways, no NPC this year has benefited the Black Ferns as we have a lot of time together away from those games and it's allowed fringe players more time to work and try and get into the squad,” Heighway said to leading women’s rugby site scrumqueens.com

"If the NPC had been on this year you'd expect the Black Ferns squad to have been picked by now but instead we've got a larger group of players with more time to fight for players."

"The ideal think would be for us to have some games in June or July but that not being the case we've got a regional tournament for the top 100 players in the country in Hamilton then so we need to make the most of that."

"We've been working individually on our own fitness and weight trainings over our summer and getting together regionally to build on that. We recently got together for a Black Ferns camp in Rotorua with 34 players and with the way our season works it was the first taste of contact a lot of us have had in a while so it was a bit of an initiation for the body to get used to again!"

The Black Ferns will approach the tournament as warm favourites, although England will be a formidable challenge, considering their morale boosting win against the champions last year, and the fact that they are the home team.

New Zealand will face South Africa, Australia and Wales in Pool A, with all group matches played at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford.

It is a tough pool that will quickly get the Black Ferns back to full match fitness, with the real threats to come from the hosts, France, Canada and the United States.

The semi-finals, third place playoff and final will be played at the Twickenham Stoop, the home of Harlequins in the western suburbs of London.

The Black Ferns expected England to be their biggest threat.

“England are always well drilled with strong set pieces and around the field perhaps in the last game we didn't adjust quick enough to how they were playing. They are always a huge threat and we know this World Cup will be really competitive,” Heighway said.

The hosts will have an advantage in the fact that they played in the 2010 Women’s Six Nations tournament. England cantered through the tournament, winning all five matches and the Grand Slam, scoring 156 points and 26 tries while conceding just the 15 points.

France finished second, losing to England 11-10.

The 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cup begins on the 20th August, with the final scheduled for the 5th September.

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

You don't have to convince me. I already hate soccer. There are a lot of reasons that this 'sport' isn't more popular.

• It's a kid's game
• slow
• boring
• wait forever for someone to score and that dumb announcer yells goooooooooooalllllllllllllll as if it's the most exciting thing that ever happened.

Not only is soccer a kids game, but some of the kids playing it are girls!

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

I agree whole-heartedly.

Soccer players are deceitful (hope I spelt that right) lying worms, with no sense of truth or sportsmanship. Collapsing on the floor in apparent agony when another player so much as brushes against them.

If a human being ( if they can be called that) is in that much pain from so gentle a touch, I would want to do the decent thing, walk onto the pitch and send them prematurely to eternal damnation.

I have forbidden my son to join the local Soccer team. I instead went to his school and signed him up myself for the Baseball team. As long as it does not interfere with Bible Studies. (I dont want him to make the same mistakes I did)

Re: 10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!

Nice work, Cranky. I take it this whole World Cup charade has got on your nerves too?

A soccer tournament is like a competition of "who's the gayest". 80 minutes of the game is wasted with passing it amongst defenders, and the final 10 is of people falling over for sympathy!

I am British, but it annoys the hell out of me when people refer to this girls game as "football". It's soccer! It's only fair the name "football" is blessed to the superior American counterpart and the sport favoured by Jesus. The hooligan supporters try to overcompensate for the games lack of manliness by being as aggressive and barbaric as possible, but only really succeeding in showing their clear homosexuality of willing to fight over 11 men chasing a ball in tight shorts.
