My soccer fight..............?

Question

I play soccer every tuesday and thursday at this park and there is this very rude guy named eric. He disrespects me whenever I come inside and want to play. He keeps restating I'm not invited and where I came from (this is a pickup game btw and there is no need to ask so you can play). I came in a few days back to play and he told me that infront of all the people. So today I go in to play and he does it AGAIN! I've had it this time. I blew up. I yelled at him and told him to go s***w himself and that he has a big mouth and attitude problem. I'm wondering what you guys would do if you were in my place with such an obnoxious person trying to humiliate you infront of people you don't even know? Also, I may go back there tuesday so what should be my stance? This guy really gets to me.

Thanks guys.

Answer 1

dude i would had punched him.just tell him you dont freaking own the park if its a pick up game then theres no reason for him to get mad.but are you sure ur not interrupting maybe all those others people are his friends and your just getting in the way.i know i would like that if some random guy just out of nowhere decided to join me and my friends at a party he was not invited to.

Answer 2

Talk to him away from everyone else. Even phone him. In a calm rational way, ask him what the problem is. mature people work it out....

Answer 3

I've been in the same situation where I couldn't take it anymore and blew up on somebody barely even know. But it was at work and probably not the best idea. haha. But if you see him again. Just ignore him. Because when he sees you getting mad, that's exactly what he wants and your anger is feeding him. So just ignore his rudeness and you'll be fine. In the end you'll end up being the bigger person and he'll end up looking like the jerk. Especially in front of other people. They'll realize. =]

Answer 4

ummm why dont you try showing him your moves you know dont play verbally but more with your feet. if you ever wanna play serious soccer your gonna have to learn to ignore these types of people. Try some step-overs then a roulette and put it through his legs.

Answer 5

There's no need to yell at him. When such happens all you need to do is to prove yourself and everybody there will always like to play with you, then when next the bully says his lines, the other will answer for you; they'll say  "Leave the guy alone."
