THIS is what I mean: people who are into futbol are basically in a cult and cannot stand when someone pokes fun at them. "It's a RELIGION!" Oh please, it's a fucking GAME so calm down people.
Besides, I DID thank those who gave me a serious reply. I do appreciate that. But this thread quickly degenerated into how ignorant Americans are for not "getting it" then comparing every other sport in the world to soccer.
I am an intelligent sports fan. I have also traveled the world and visited 23 countries (so far), and not just as a fat, dumb American tourist either. I have lived and worked in several countries in my lifetime. I am a NEW YORKER, which is very differant from being an AMERICAN only, and yet still I fail to see the appeal, even after all the explanations.
The World Cup was held here in America a few years back. Know who went to all the matches? Foriegners. LOL We Americans simply do not see the appeal and while it was well-explained in this thread (and I can see the appeal from another person's perspective) soccer just doesn't do it for 95% of Americans (or New Yorkers). Sorry.
