Yakubu and Al Habsi respond so well. I love how calm Yakubu is, like he's done this a thousand times before... just calmly back the chicken into the net and softly grab him
An animal on the field just seems to have so much more potential in soccer than it does in other sports. Like in baseball/football they have staff people who come collect the animal. In soccer, somehow the players become the animal catchers and sometimes the animal even bites the player!
Corch Mr. Manager doesn't want his players chasing feral animals around the pitch and getting rabies, lol. That's what the low paid stadium workers are for.

Excellent planning to have the sex workers learn English.
An otter might actually be a better keeper than the guy Cameroon is bringing

I hope the leading scorers are Balotelli, Sturridge and Pogba.

Right, and I can't handle humidity and anything over 80. I'm okay in a dry 95 degrees though. I think this is part of the reason why we'll see a lot European teams struggle. Their players have never played in hot and humid conditions. Countries like the US, Brazil, etc. will have a big advantage because of that.

I'm used to it, but I honestly don't know if it's because I'm used to it or because I have a stronger mental constitution than northerners and europoors. I still get winded quicker (like 30 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes in) than my Colombian friends in conditions like 95/80% humidity
You are either a freak or have never played seriously in 40 degree weather. It is the same in that you can't breathe but 40 hurts way worse
lol at play football. I'm talking about breathing here. 3 mile jogs don't count either.
Schools cut the heat off over Christmas break.
Gotta save some money to pay their basketball players to tailgate.
It is but basketball is constant sprints with little rest. Basketball in 20 degrees is harder than in 40

I'm not refuting that but nowhere did you go "In 20 basketball would be harder". You shrugged kella's statement off as if it wasn't as hard as your precious lungs hurting in above freezing temperatures.
I regret getting involved in this discussion because it's fucking dumb.

I shrugged it off because you get to rest much more in football or you don't tax them as hard in long distance. Sorry that you don't understand that. I was only speaking about breathing, I didn't say getting hit in 20 degree weather didn't hurt a lot or whatever else you have brewing in your head.
Running in cold weather sucks, but I'm not sure about drawing the line at 40 degrees, lol. That's like perfect running weather to me. I love everything between 40 and 60. If it is below 20 it is definitely harder, especially if you have cold induced asthma or something. Running when it is below zero out and erryone struggles to get air.
Nah I agree with that, my point got dragged through the mud by osick. Originally it was basketball not being different in 90/40 which is gundynottrue. 90 doesn't burn your lungs to hell like 40 does. Definitely done both there. Breathing while playing football or running long distance in colder weather is still easier to me because of the rest/not sprinting with limited rest. It still hurts but you have a chance to recover in foosball and don't go as hard in long distances. That's all. I shrugged kella's point off because of that. Which is why the colder it gets I'm sure basketball continues to get harder, just never played in anything worse than 40ish that I know of. Although once our JUCO's power went out when it was snowing pretty hard outside so we had to open the gym doors to get light in and practiced another hour.
We just different then, because basketball in 90 is hellish to me. I feel like I'm going to have a stroke.
I think summer AAU type tournaments conditioned me to 80+ basketball conditions. One gym in vegas didn't have air and that was pretty bad but I'd still much rather a stroke than my lungs feel like they are on fire and bursting out of my chest. Christmas practices were the worst because it wasn't just basketball but constant sprints to get us back in shape because obviously the 4 days off just threwn our conditioning out the window
Oh I always do. I just don't enjoy that process. The bottom line is that someone engaged in excruciating God-like mind efforts in order to survive simply isn't as effective at playing a game as someone who isn't bothered by the heat. I mean the cold weather climate people will do their best and they aren't going to quit, but when your mind is dealing with suffering, you have that much less god-like mind for focusing on the game.

Thank you for that. Now wasn't that nice to type the actual point instead of just saying "Football, HA! This a breathing chat b" and expecting everyone to assume that whole paragraph thought process. I just found it funny you discounted a below freezing temp when you were complaining about above freezing. THis could be being @Brick smug about cold temperatures and it baffling my mind anybody could bitch about temps over freezing.
Congratulations you are the first to trap me in a considerable amount of time. Here is a gif of a kitty with short paws.
Maybe if you were a better athlete it wouldn't be a problem.
Well we were tom bout basketball and kella says "yeah but I've played football in 20 degrees bruh" so I assumed he was trolling as he is want to do and responded in kind.Thank you for that.
