    Hulk Repaint

    Okay, so this is kind of old news, but it's still happening, so whatever. :P But, Hulk at IoA has looked terrible for quite a few years now. The track has been rusty, paint peeling, ect. The portions closest to the mist and water looked like something found at a Chinese fair. And now...

    IT'S CALLED SOCCER!!!

    I don't know if this deserves its own topic or not (in my opinion, it needs to be stickied), but according to This Article, the name Soccer actually originated in England and was used there. Take that, you mocking Brits. :P
