The Worst Penalty Kick Ever?

BORING.

If you want to watch a real penalty kick, tune into BBC America tomorrow morning and watch Scotland vs England in the 6 nations competition.

Get the violence out of the football (soccer) stands and back on the rugby pitch where it belongs!

A bunch of yabos, what!?!

Normally I hate the reflexive anti-soccer comments here; hating soccer should not be considered to be a conservative value. But then, when the anti-soccer is couched in a pro-rugby message, I am all for it.
