  1. Anonymous says:

    spelling fail

  2. Obama says:

    Other than the above mentioned spelling, I call it a WIN for building placement. It is a soccer arena FAIL. That said, it’s soccer. Who wants to pay to see that? Its barely a sport.

    • minishaw says:

      its a better sport then gridiron and baseball by a long long way thats why most the world plays it

      • Obama says:

        Most of the world around you plays it. Not most of the world. Cricket is actually the most popular sport in two of the most populated nations: China and India, as well as being popular in most of the former British colonies. Deviations of sports closer to real football (NFL), like rugby and gaelic or Australian rules football are played in other areas. I think you took one too many boots to the head from soccer hooligans (does any other sport have names for the rioting fanbase?) and need to look at the actual world around you, not just what you get on BBC.

        • Anonymous says:

          Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, American football is derived from Rugby, rather than the other way around.

          Cricket *may* be the most popular by numbers, but I think you’ll find that Soccer is more widely popular, especially in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.And I challenge you to name a more reliable American source of news than the BBC. CNN, anyone?

          • Hiuy says:

            Easy. Natl’ Enquirer.

            Wait… nah.

            Seriously tho, NBC owns BBC.

            • Anonymous says:

              Um, actually, no – the BBC is a public corporation, owned in trust by the British people.

              Education Fail.

              • elayne says:

                I believe “own” was used in the sense of “pwn” – as in, “Did you see the cop tase that guy? He totally owned him!”

                • Icarus (formerly "Anonymous") says:

                  Oh, right. Well, then I correct myself. For expanded reasons, I stand by
                  “Education Fail” and raise an “Accurate Journalism Fail”.

                  And I guess I get “Slang Comprehension Fail.”

                • Homer says:

                  Go watch Faulty Towers or one of the other fine British comedies, either one.

          • Anonymous says:

            “according to Wikipedia,”

            Stopped reading there.

            • Icarus says:

              Odd though this may sound, it turns out that Wikipedia is slightly more accurate that Britannica online; the real problem with Wiki is a lack of source attribution.

          • Homer says:

            Yeah, wikipedia, any reference source that can be edited by anyone on this blog is CLEARLY reliable. In fact, Harvard and Yale just got rid of their entire libraries and just put up a couple laptops with Wikipedia as the homepage.

          • ever heard of utilitarianism? says:

            “according to wikipedia”…. FAIL!!

        • minishaw says:

          bbc lmao im aussie not a pom so i dont get the bbc lols!!!!

          ok soccer has the most players registerd world wide ok fail much

          china plays cricket bahahahhaa there into basket ball and you guessed it soccer i lived in china so i know this and oh wait hongkong plays cricket as thet was owned by england for 100 years

          rugby is older then gridiron by many many many years so is league another aussie football code and aussie rules is over 100 years old

          ive never seen a soccer riot in real life so ive taken no boots to the face

          • Homer says:

            It’s call “punctuation”. Learn to write a complete sentence and we might listed to you.

            Until you can write one full, complete, and articulated sentence, you don’t matter. Now watch out for that stingray!

            • anonymous says:

              u mean called?
              nd listen?

              arrogant grammar fail

            • Zanty says:

              I think your little grammar criticism would have been a lot more effective had you used proper punctuation yourself.

              For example, there was no need to put a comma behind your word complete, as it was followed by a conjunction. Also, after the word sentence, you should have put a semi-colon as that would have been a slightly longer pause necessary to make the sentence proper.

              Fail.

        • Anonymous says:

          100 million people tune in to watch the superbowl once a year – the height of NFL, but over 2 billion people around the world watch real football (where the players use their feet all the time) every single weekend. If that american crap was so good how come the rest of the world hasn’t picked up on it on a professional level? If you want a real game play rugby – no helmets, body armour or 5 second plays followed by 2 minute rests for the players. Thats why the RWC was the biggest sporting event of 2007 (2 billion viewers) and aside from the olympics, euro 2008 will be the biggest this year. Figures speak for themselves

          • Dark says:

            Maybe people don’t want to play a game clearly made for morons: What other game do people get juggled into the air with an overpowered tackle and land on their head? That really sounds like fun…

          • Dark says:

            Perhaps because the rest of the world is full of pussies. And if viewership is the true judge of what matters, Baywatch is the most important show ever.

            • farrex says:

              Pussies??? try to play rugby… lol, I ahve done it a lot of times and was a lot of fun I had played3 times american football and It was boring( lots of rules making lack of fun and real action) even one of that 3 times I played american football a friend stopped and mentioned “Im sick of this shit lets play rugby” and guess what we did…. yes, we played rugby u son of a bitch!!!

              • Shadow says:

                Wow, I don’t normally pay attention to posts made in 6 month old fails, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to blast you with a Grammar Cannon several times for that post. That was simply atrocious.

                *boom*
                *boom*
                *boom*

          • ariel wollinger says:

            american football is the suxxor!!!

        • eat one says:

          “real” football… you mean that game that you play with your feet

          • farrex says:

            Yes, football its rly what u call soccer, and guess what ,what u call football shouldnt be called like that, becuase, if u havent noted it yet u r the only ones in the entire world that calls football soccer….

        • IBKC says:

          All you people should know better not to argue with Obama. :P

        • farrex says:

          PLS give me a definition in sport then tell me what u make in soccer and what is soccer, now tell were was ur fail, and learn to STFU!!!!!!!!

        • Kwazzi says:

          Dude, gridiron was derived from rugby, and don’t confuse the two. Only girls wear pads.

      • Most of the world live in mudhuts or hovels and die from mosquito bites. Soccor is the opiate of the third world masses.

        • Dark says:

          Do you even know what you’re on about? And no, most of the world do not live in mud huts, only the poorer parts. And who makes the people and their children work in terrible conditions with dangerous machinery? Why, rich businesses, of course!

        • farrex says:

          LOL first it notes u havent traveled outside of the US and I let me guess, u dont know other language than english, then… what could u possibly know about life??? (If u rly wanna know about life, first U need to GET ONE!!) and then do u know that also Europe plays soccer and tell me who is going into a crisis right know and possibly be the next country to pass into, living in mudhuts or hovels and die from mosquitoes…

      • Hiuy says:

        Agreed w/Obama. Soccer is wimpy. Half the time the players are walking. Football , hockey, and baseball are way better.

        • Fiz says:

          As opposed to Baseball where most of the players are standing? Or NFL where it starts and stops and starts and stops and ooh boy. I like both sports by the way, but come on.

          • Homer says:

            Soccer players are like my 5 year old nephew. They get bumped slightly in the shin, then drop to the ground screaming like they just suffered a Joe Theisman break. Then when they see the ref did nothing, they get up and start running around again like nothing happened. No sport loved in France can be tough.

        • IPG says:

          Well… actually most player of whatever this NFL sport is (involves neither significant amount of food nor any ball) are sitting on their asses most of the time. Same goes for hockey, although there it is due to the incredibly high intensity and to be excused.

        • farrex says:

          U ust said that soccer is whimpy but u said that football its better, hows that.. did u ever knew that u r the only ones that call football soccer???
          And, okay football and hockey are better, if u wanna see stunts and baseball its better, if u wanna have a little time for sleeping, but if u wanna see skills start watching soccer…

      • Fiddlesticks says:

        then / than fail.

    • Iridus says:

      this guy really never saw a Hooligan… looooool.

    • Football fail says:

      “That said, it’s soccer”

      Actually, it’s called football, and it is probably the most popular sport on the planet.

      • Homer says:

        No, get over youself. Cricket is the most popular sport. I have no idea why, but it is.

      • squirreludecker says:

        Actually, your not completely correct. Football and Soccer are both slang terms for its Correct Name. “Association Football” so calling it Soccer is no wronger than calling it Football.

        • Dark says:

          Where did you get that absurd idea? It’s called football.

          • Lish says:

            are you SeRIOUSLY arguing about weather its called soccer or football? wow. Soccer in america and football most other places. (for the most part.) and you call theese people stupid.

        • farrex says:

          I dont have an idea of who started calling it soccer but its original name its football, and in all the places I had visited theres only one place that is called soccer, the US…
          If u dont believe me ust watch a little bit the movie “goal!” where the protagonist after living in the US he goes to europe and mentions soccer, nobody understands what is he talking about until he says the word FOOTBALL.

    • sim says:

      better than watching a bunch of muscle men tackle eachother cos they’re secretly gay.

      american foot ball needs no skill, just the ability to throw and a bit of gayness

      • Chris says:

        Apparently you have never watched college football walk on tryouts. A LOT of people with apparently no skill don’t seem to make the team but the very athletically talented highly skilled one do every time. Wonder why that is?

      • Jami says:

        Oh who cares? ALL sports are stupid. The only people who play them are people too stupid to get real jobs.

        • Homer says:

          I guess that if Jami was offered millions of dollars to play a game, she’d turn it down to go become an astrophysicist because she would not want to look stupid. Frankly, anyone who can get someone else to pay them craploads of money to play a game is way smarter.

        • farrex says:

          If u manage to get payed better than themtell me, and sports r fun I guess u dont know what is that but its okay, because of what u said its obvious that u r another fat girl without a life that will never get someone and continue living with ur parents until the die, without accomplishing their most desired dream, GETTING RID OF YOU!!!!

        • pants says:

          People who think sports are stupid are fat asses who need to get off the couch and go outside

      • IPG says:

        They are wearing stretch pants… what is secret about that?

        • Grand Master Shake says:

          And I guess it is not gay for a guy to rip off his shirt and trade clothes with other guys on the field?

    • Anastasia Beaverhausen says:

      I like curling. And badminton.

    • Xgenstudios says:

      sport making fail

    • ariel wollinger says:

      it is called football because you use your feet, unlike what americans call football.

    • Americans suck says:

      obviously your american if you think soccer sucks, ask the rest of the world seeing how its the biggest sport in almost every country. Go back to being obese and your low health care you dam texan.

      P.S. ITS CALLED FOOTBALL

      • coyote says:

        Are you sure that it’s not “futbol”? My lips remain sealed on your first degree murder of the dominant language.

        • farrex says:

          Go get some steroids and continue playing american football we will continue playing sports as how it must be done, clean(except for argentina with maradona, aajajajajajajajaja) and with real skill not skills taken by some drugs and weight.

    • abi says:

      it’s a WIN.

    • imnotsupposedtotalktostrangers says:

      i don’t like the sport myself, but yeah… soccer is pretty popular around the world.. more popular than football or baseball

    • schmoe says:

      Obviously, a lot of people want to watch it. That building is packed.

      I play soccer. It’s actually not that hard.

    • farrex says:

      How can u say things like that when baseball exist and its called sport, and even worst, ENTERTAINMENT???? and here´s something for ur stupid head… do u knew that soccer is the most played sport in the world????

    • Jerchite says:

      Isn’t soccer the most popular sport on Earth?

    • hahaha! says:

      i ttly agree with aformentioned “obama” soccer stinks!

  3. Rich says:

    Fail @ spelling.
    This ain’t I can has cheezburger.

    • Amanda says:

      “ain’t”?

      Might as well put in good grammar while you’re mocking their spelling….

      • Anonymous says:

        Umm… irony fail?

      • Jam says:

        In many southern US schools “Ain’t” and “y’all” are acceptable contractions for
        all but formal writing. They are also accepted by most spell check programs. They are real words that are just a part of regional dialects.

        • Rich says:

          LOL!!
          Don’t know how I missed your comment!!

        • Dark says:

          “US” being the keyword of that sentence…

        • Anonymous says:

          Screw you, no they’re not. Southern US schools wouldn’t accept y’all or ain’t in a formal essay anymore than a school in New York.

          • Skippy says:

            That’s because they don’t use “formal” essays in the south since no one reades there.

            • tbonedave says:

              Apparently no one reads (reades ftw?) in Y’ALL’S country. That’s right. Double contraction plus regional dialect burn = fail accross the pond.

            • hahaha! says:

              hey skippy!
              I hope you read this because I was born in Texas, and I’ve grew up here. I am not a hick, I do ride a “horsie” to school, it called a mustang, its bright red and it goes vroom vroom! I took the s.a.t.(the big college test) in eighth grade and I did better then 70% of college bound seniors and I read very well thank you! I go to a prep school! I can also spell, which is more then i can say for you!

          • Chaz says:

            Actually, Jam’s post read “all but formal writing,” meaning they’re still not acceptable in formal writing. So you kind of just reiterated what Jam wrote, only angry at the wrong person.

          • ClariPossum says:

            Um, that’s why they said “all BUT formal essays.” ;)

      • Rich says:

        “Ain’t” is a Contraction. And poor spelling is just that, poor spelling.
        Might as well put in the effort to know what you’re talking about while you’re trying to mock me…

        dumbass

        • elayne says:

          What’s it a contraction of? “Ai not”?

          It’s a regional colloquialism, in contraction form, but is not in and of itself a contraction.

          • Kyle says:

            Actually, it’s “am not.” Beats the pants off “amn’t.”
            “I ain’t” is proper grammar.
            “This ain’t” is not.

          • Rich says:

            Actually you’re wrong.
            “Ain’t” is a contraction for “am not” “is not” “are not” “has not” and “have not”.
            A contraction is based on combining words.
            Colloquialism emphasizes on slang.

  4. steph says:

    This is probably more of an “I showed up for the match too early” fail. There’s no one on the field yet.

  5. Lawl? says:

    @First/Rich: It’s supposed to be a spelling “fail”.
    @Oba: Well, your right, but poster is too. Who knows if the arena or the house was built first?

  6. flingtehcow says:

    Building placement WIN! People would pay if they could, cos it’s a lot nearer. Just means more people get to watch the big games.

  7. Silviu says:

    haha
    asta e in regie
    supertare

  8. mike says:

    i think boxing is actually most popular world wide

  9. feckineejit says:

    WRONG! the most popular sport now is Wii sports.

  10. Apparently the most popular sport is FAILING1

  11. Anonymous says:

    Maybe they omitted letters in order to fit the phrase along the bottom in one line. Maybe… not.

  12. Lawl? says:

    To be serious, this was my first problem. Then made the font smaller and I was to lazy to correct it ^^
    (yeah, I’m the poster, and I give a damn if u believe it or not, kthxbai =) )

  13. albino says:

    Looks to me like the sports arena is newer than the building and quite possibly temporary, making it more of a SUBMITTER FAIL …

  14. Pee Wee Herman says:

    I think masturbating is the most popular sport.

  15. Anonymous says:

    ok regardless of spelling or caption fail or whatever, it’s still funny

  16. Chuckk says:

    I had a feeling this was Romania. The word “Asigurari” confirmed it. Believe me, this is the most insignificant of Romanian fails.

  17. Jessi says:

    I prefer baseball to soccer, but that’s because I can actually *play* baseball and not suck, lol. I have difficulty making the ball go where I want it to in soccer…

  18. Kyle says:

    Resourcefulness of fans WIN!

  19. This is only a fail if the team that plays at that stadium sucks. Since there’s only a few people in the stands, I’m guessing it does.

  20. Platypus says:

    Fail text. This is not icanhascheezburger. Needs less lolspeak.

  21. Sportster says:

    ACTUALLY, the most popular sport is sex. Look at the result of so much of it. IT is everywhere.

  22. the coach says:

    “ok guys, go out there an make the 9th floor proud!”

  23. kannadzuki says:

    Who cares what’s more popular? People shouldn’t choose their fave sports (or anything else for that matter) based on popularity, unless they want to sound like total posers.

    On the topic of the actual pic: Who wants seats with a view that crappy?

  24. Keelhaul says:

    My favorite sport is reading comments by folks arguing about sports and grammar.
    Y’all ain’t got no more common sense ‘n’ what it take to fill uh bukkit.

  25. Cirozel says:

    It’s actually the Ion Oblemenco football stadium in Craiova, Romania

    • Romanian Chick says:

      This is actually the Sportul Studentesc football stadium in Bucharest, Romania.
      And that is actually one of the dorm rooms of ASE (The Academy of Economic Studies). And I might actually be in that picture…

  26. rbtroj says:

    Spelling fail and/or German-English translation fail

    • Paul says:

      What is with the obsession to point out a “spelling fail”? Whether someone spells perfectly well or not makes absolutely no difference to the validity of their argument.

      I’d much rather hear your opinions on the debate itself rather than its grammar. Especially as most of the people here probably can spell perfectly, they just can’t be bothered to put the effort into a blog post.

  27. mike says:

    that is one of the most EPIC WINs I’ve ever seen

  28. Bombino says:

    This is a fail, fail he didn’t spell building correctly

  29. a says:

    omg its BUILDING fail, not biding fail assholes

  30. Meow says:

    That reminds me of Wrigley Field. There are 17 buildings surrounding it which have rooftop bleachers where people charge money to sit and watch Cubs games.

  31. Football says:

    does anyone know where this image can be found online and who was the photographer? I need a high rez version of it. Any help is much appreciated!! :)

  32. ching says:

    FAIL @ spelling

  33. idiot says:

    SPELLING FAIL!

  34. Cherry says:

    Spelling Fail!!!

  35. bussan says:

    That’s not a placement fail… it’s a win! Think of the increased value!

  36. Meeee says:

    :) )))))) All hail romanians!

  37. Alleh says:

    Ummm..SPELLING FAIL

  38. sob508 says:

    :) ) Romania Fail again? Boy, we really kick ass here.

  39. anonymus says:

    i see another fail! can you guess it? it’s obvious! spelling fail

  40. AWESOME says:

    Building people: WIN!!!!! *Jackpot*

  41. anna says:

    A total win!!! XD

  42. frogman says:

    Building placement win!

  43. BOB says:

    way to fail at spelling

  44. youdonkey says:

    I love when people argue real football (soccer) as a pussy sport. I bet the people that say that couldn’t last 5 minutes on the pitch, let alone 90. They’d be out of breath and asking the coach to sub them out. And someone mentioned that most of the time, they’re walking. The only time I see football players walking the whole time is when I watch MLS (Yes, I realize I just dissed my own league).

  45. zzerdi says:

    i think this is a win

  46. Pexibear says:

    Ticket price fail rather.

  47. WommyTomberg says:

    dumbass, you fail……..

  48. rougeknux4eva says:

    You spelled BUILDING wrong. FAIL!

  49. hanna says:

  50. checho says:
