Soccer is a religion.

Soccer is the world's most followed sport

Soccer is a friendly kind of fighting, rather than recreation.

Soccer is distinguished from football in that football is linear and static, lined up, and experienced in bursts. Soccer, by contrast, is structured like the cosmos. It's like constellations. It's bodies moving in space. It's a very spherical game.

Soccer is a bit like chess: It's not just the piece being moved that matters: It's also the effect that move has on all the other pieces.

Soccer is not a sport: It is somewhere between a business racket and a mental illness. I associate it with all the worst aspects of our society violence, drunkenness, drugs, racism, exploitation, greed and stupidity... and that's just for starters.

Basketball was first played using a soccer ball and two peach baskets.

Soccer is popular because stupidity is popular.

Soccer is a kind of geiger counter of civilization, a catalyst for good as well as bad, able to start war or cause peace.

Soccer is not about justice. It's a drama.

Kickball is referred to as "soccer-baseball" in some parts of Canada
