From experience I have in games (including trem)
'Skilled'=asshole
average=nice guy
Thats just silly.
Asshole = treat people like shit.
Nice Guy = not treat people like shit.
Assholes who suck are mocked, and so they tend to keep their head down until they get some skill, then the true asshole comes out. Go to a serious newb server, you'll see people who suck, but are slightly better than the others on the server, and that individual will be treating everyone like shit regardless of their
actual skill level..
The prototypical American kid has no idea what soccer is and thinks you play it by wearing spandex while touching other men in spandex who are all trying to pick up the ball with their hands.
On a side note, you may be a little surprised to find out that Soccer is hugely popular in America among children, where there are very active leagues in every state. I'm one of the few people that I know that didn't play soccer as a kid, mostly cause I want nothing to do with that panzi euro trash sport!!

Ok, just kidding, I don't need a bunch of psychopathic soccer fans hunting me down, cause if their anything like American football fans you can't even joke about it >

Soccer is quite popular over here though, not like the rest of the world obviously as the pro teams aren't followed, but lots and lots of kids leagues. It's probably just a matter of time.
