I watch my son play soccer for years & I still had trouble w/the rules of the game.

Soccer, hockey, lacrosse, field hockey and water polo are all the same game played on differing surfaces, and minor modifications

I had a problem for awhile in soccer when a ref would call off sides when players were everywhere out there on the field. We parents finally learned as a group what the rules were as we sat there hollering our lungs out for the kids to do well.

I remember my son had a soccer game at 8 am on a Saturday morning which was way across town & we had like 5 minutes to get there. You want to talk about a pissed off angry parent. You know we have jobs we are to be at on M-F. Mine I had to be there at 7 am sharp. Saturdays were suppose to be my vacation day from all the goings on in life especially at 8 am.

Yeah, a player on offense can’t cross the line if a defender doesn’t cross the line first. It’s total B.S. if I’m faster than you so be it. They have a goalie.
Participation trophies for all.

Funny you ask. I’m at Kroger right now trying to figure that out as I type this.

Right now I picked up some frozen chicken wings cat food milk Jimmy Dean sausage egg & cheese biscuits…I haven’t had those in quite some time. What else can I get my hands on?

That's a cute reply.

That's my reply to anything a Braves fan has to say about anything. Oh look, we just signed... It don't matter who you signed, cause it's "Two In A Row!!!!". Wanna go for three? That's what the Phil's are shooting for.️️️

I tend to agree w/her. Since a lot of americans never played the sport we're not smart.

Apparently soccer players don’t know the rules to their own game because they fall like someone shot them with a sniper rifle if you sneeze in their direction.

I've always loved Jimmy Dean's. That's the only sausage that I would eat when I was a kid.

Braves beat the Astros in their World Series while the Phillies rolled around in their own urine in theirs

Yeah, I find the offsides rule to be exceedingly stupid

That's not very nice. Maybe she thinks the same way about you.

It prevents players from goal-hanging. It’s the same concept as in football. Imagine players waiting in the end zone for the QB to snap the ball. It would be boring. The main difference between soccer and football is the continuous flow of play.
