I think it was a joke about knowing you're going to lose the soccer game, and proceeding to lose. I don't play soccer either but I can still relate.

Edit: really this goes for a ton of point-based competitive sports. It might be obvious that the game isn't going your way in the first 20 minutes, but you can't go home until you hear the buzzer

Yeah, maybe. The thing is that in soccer, it's still a game which both sides can play, even if you're down by a ton of goals. Yes, maybe your chances are bad, but you still get to play and make meaningful decissions.

In monopoly, you're stuck playing a circular version of Chutes and Ladders with no meaningful decissions.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
