It had the mostly unathleteic guys. the few "Two" were actaully atheltic were a State champion caliber sprinter that didn't want to risk injury in Football or the Basketball player that had got a ride to Central Michigan. Maybe that's why we sucked in soccer. Now I supported the Women's Team "my high school that is" because my women was on the squad.
: That soccer isn't still widely supported.
: Every school I've ever heard of has a soccer team and we happen to be bigger than most other countries so we probably have more supporters, they're just spaced out over a lot more people.
: Plus, as I stated yesterday, the guys playing think it's pretty fucking important so I'm happy for them.
: On another note I love comics, many people don't, but that doesn't mean I don't go out and buy my comics every week. I just forget about naysayers and enjoy my hobby. If that hobby someday turned to soccer then just because I live in the U.S. shouldn't make my desire to play it any less valid than some piker.
: Thank you.
