Soccer is kinda like a slow version of hockey.

What do you think it will happen if the same 5 guys play one shift for the whole period?

 

[reno cool]

I hear ya pal. Its a tough and a great game.

Hockey is by far the most intense, action packed and greatest game imo however.

 

[Mudcat]

Why is it so hard to find a good still pic of that flag? What kind of fokken internet is this?

Soccer is kinda like a slow version of hockey.

I've actually said this to many people.



What I actually say is, soccer is hockey with a bigger, different type of playing surface without the annoyingly small puck.

The precise flag they're waving says "FANCLUB" across the top. Prolly an ad for http://fanclub.dfb.de/index.php?id=2

YOU'RE WELCOME.

 

[Mudcat]

What? Is the flag within that link somewhere? I'm not seeing it.

 

[Saulty]

This. It's a fan club flag. A Germany flag with the emblem of the German football association in the center.

You can see the flag more clearly in this video:

It's the flag of Germany + the "Deutscher Fussball-Bund" logo on the bottom left + "FANCLUB" written across the black band

Deutscher Fussball-Bund logo:

So here's what we have established:

Getting people to give vague, off-target impressions of the flag = not particularly hard

Getting an actual pic of the flag = hard

See that ain't the flag of Germany in the background. Unless there are extreme optical illusions at play in all three clips I've seen of it, that's just not it. It's the same color palette no doubt - an abstract interpretation of it you could possibly say - but I'm not seeing three precise geometric stripes there. I'm seeing more red, less yellow, blurred borders between colors.

I could be wrong but I obviously don't think so. I would need to see a good pic.

Seems very cool, this flag.

[roguejuror]

damn we lost

 

[Mudcat]

Who's we?

Is that it? Okay. Not quite as cool as I thought. Well, get the Coca-Cola logo out of there ---> wouldn't be bad.

(Tee hee . . . national manshaft )



Now let us gather up all of Saulty's smartypants comments which were totally wrong and have a good laugh at his expense.

Clueless novice viewers complain about the appearance of the puck.

Once you understand the game there is no reason to stare at the puck.

Thanks for the bovine meat rub recommendation, backer.

I'm thinking about considering ordering it.
