Quote from 2004striker:
lpaf,
Since you are looking for biblical references to soccer, consider these two quotes. (I could not find the direct biblical references, however) :
"If God had meant us to play football in the sky, he'd have put grass up there." ~~ Brian Clough, 1991, manager of Nottingham Forest, bemoaning the method of football known as the 'long ball game'.
And then this one from the modern-day Dehlilah and conservative harlot:
'Liberal soccer moms are precisely as likely to receive anthrax in the mail as to develop a capacity for linear thinking.'
~~ Ann Coulter (Jerusalem harlot)
