Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for April 11, 2012
Transcript:
Rob: I thought you hated soccer. Bucky: I still don't care for the ball bit, but I have come to enjoy the spanish soap opera drama that is the soccer dive. Rob: Dives in soccer aren't part of the actual game, Bucky. Bucky: Look. Soccer is about 60% balls, sure, but the other 40% is diving. Just own it, man! Give points for dives! Lord know there's never any actual ball scoring! Rob: Not sure what to do with you sometimes. Bucky: Well, I just fixed world soccer, give me some money.

how likely they got the balls to do that

World’s most “popular” sport? sure—-because most of the fans are the lunkhead direct desecendants of soccer’s founders. A game whose origin was kicking around the heads of the people in the village they’d just laid waste to - GOL!

I hate these strips where Bucky kinda makes a very sardonic point. It makes me feel like a terrible person.

Only 60% balls?

I love hearing that soccer is boring from people who watch golf on TV.

I never find Bucky boring…..nor do I ever find the comments boring. :)

Yup, European football is balls, all right…

Speaking of fixed…..has Bucky been “fixed” yet? Might want to look into it. He might have a daughter just like him!

@beviekThat’s more sense than he already has.

Only sports more boring than watching socceer and golf: Fishing, bowling, and Magic the Gathering and I even play (you can’t even see the cards on TV).

Soccer’s not fixed until you get rid of the vuvuzelas.

Based on this new scoring system the scores in the Italian League will be in the 100’s

I like watching…some, and sometimes, but not much…and I really like Buck’s analysis.
Yeah, give Bucky some money. Reminds me of this engineer I used to work with…

Now, now. When Bucky’s right, he’s right — credit where it’s due.

Amen to that brother!

Rob’s losing his hair by tearing it out when he listens to Bucky!!

I suggest that when they give points for diving, they give extra points if the player dives onto a cat. Starting with Bucky.

BahramtheRed your forgetting American football, baseball, cricket, basketball and tennis.

Actually hockey is slippery soccer, except you never see a dive or flop. Those guys play for real.

I almost never agree with Bucky’s opinions, but I gotta agree with the little guy’s analysis of “futbol.”

“SOMETIMES”, Rob?? I believe you mean, “ALL the time”. lol.

The world might as well face the fact that soccer will never be truly popular here in the states. Just not violent enough. And Masterskrain is correct, the only reason we watch is to see if there is a riot of soccer hooligans in the stands. Give me a good football game or hockey match anyday. The only soccer that I ever truly found exciting was the indoor game.

Sorry, Rob – like fighting in hockey, spitting in baseball, and pantsing in rugby, diving is a part of soccer.
