Soccer is a Broken Sport

What on earth is wrong with the world? Honestly, the whole planet is mentally broken in the head for supporting Soccer.... it is making less and less sense by the minute.

 

After I figured out the world cup was a multi team tournament, instead of a match..... the US team, which technically has no business existing, given we don't have a professional team, just weekend hobbyists kicking around balls in fields because they cant catch a ball properly..... manages to loose TWICE and still gets dragged through the mud higher and higher into the tournament.

 

Clearly, Soccer suffers from Loser Politics, as it does't understand tournaments are To The Death.... if you lose, you do not advance. Medieval knights charging at one another with lances figured this out, its a good system, it works.

 

You do not tie in a tournament, you play, until one side triumphs. The loser goes away, or sacrificed to the Mayan gods. But you dont tie, give up and move on..... and in bizarro world, after tying, you don't lose..... and then advance ahead anyway. Makes no damn sense..... its not based on skill or rationality, but the chaos of world socialism, and a fundamental lack of understanding how to apply Darwins principle of Survival of the Fittest.

 

In socialism, everyone gets included, no matter how badly your doing, and the group is only as strong as the weakest member of the group..... clearly rip roaring in serotonin and testosterone. In evolution, such organizations should in time, however successful, still be streamlined by selective forces that will knock off the least adaptive members of said group. You still have losers, one on one, or all because of one.

 

In this case, Soccer is the Anti-Musketeer..... everyone is suffering because the weak survive, and are promoted higher and higher in the rankings when more skilled and deserving teams are turned away.

 

Any team, is more deserving of success over the US team..... its not our game, I fail to see how we could ever win against a nation who plays this as their only sport.

 

I think the US should be the bigger man, and pull out of the world cup, and let some more deserving third world country play in our place, like Botswana or the Faroe Islands or Ethiopia..... a country with no hope, aspirations, or future.... and they can proceed to lose their way to the final tournament, loose in it, and thereby capture the world cup.

 

And it better be a cup. A big, fancy cup.... made of gold or something. No small disposable plastic cups. This is a third world game.... honestly, that could be what the world cup actually is, is a small plastic cup. Or a little sippy cup for a kid, that has a creepy clown on it, that scares the child its given to.

 

Does North Korea have a team?
