9 things I hate about everyone....

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know
where my watch is pal, where is yours? Do I point at my crotch
when ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room
for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the
channel manually.

3. When people say, "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Damn right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say, "it's always the last place you look". Of course it
is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people
do
this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their butt!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?" No loser, I
paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the stupid floor.

6. People, who ask, "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give
me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then
there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then
there must have been something before it.

8. When people say, "life is short". What the fuck?? Life is the longest
damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come
yet?” If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

number five is good. It is like "No i havent been looking at the 20 foot screen that is right in front of me. I have been looking at the exit sign in the corner." good joke.

Isn't it true that more youngsters play soccer in the united states than in any other sport in the world. I have to agree that we (even me) do not follow the sport that much. I was in Germany when they won the world cup in 1990, let me tell you that was a party from hell and a lot of fun. That would never happen here. I think that the United States is to big of a country since most of the countries that are good in the world like your Brazil's, Germany's, and England's are much smaller and do not have to cover as much ground as the U.S . I do not know, doesn't make much sence (my post) but i thought that i woudl give my thoughts

That's the problem that faces MLS. There are plenty of kids out there playing soccer. The task is to take those kids and convert them into MLS fans. Part of the problem is that there are only 10 teams which means that many youth soccer players aren't getting very much local exposure to MLS. MLS is looking to expand by two teams next year.

However, there are steps being taken to accomplish this conversion. When I was in Dallas watching Freddy Adu, I didn't get a chance to see them but D.C. United's U-16 team was there. The creation of youth teams is a big step in the development of MLS talent and young players.

MLS has also announced an agreement with the head organization that runs youth soccer in the USA to allow MLS teams to be more involved with them and giving the youth players benefits like tickets and stuff.
