Soccer is gay

Really soccer is gay?

Soccer is gay. The world cup is gay.

In High School and college, soccer was fun... nice guys with nice butts.

I just dont see it anymore.

how can soccer be gay name one reason to it?

Football isn't that gay when compared to say American football. In REAL football they just kick around the ball and have a kickass time doing it. In American football they grab the ball (lmao) and run with it and play grab-ass with all of their teammates. American football, much like watches, boats, and books, is fucking gay. Real football rocks.

amrican assball = gay :1orglaugh

Fact:
 

Fact: soccer is a sport played by male ballet dancers during thier off season

You really dont understand the concept.

There is a whole hell of a lot more to it than just playing-grabass. None of the players go out there to cop feels on the other players.

If you took the time to learn the concept, you might like it... all my foreign friends who come to visit during FOOTBALL season get into it because they learn the rules.

There are a LOT more rules in Football as opposed to Soccer.

I bet you, I could play a soccer game on a gaming console with NO experience. You wouldnt hold a candle to anyone playing regular American Football.

Your post turned me on. Thanks :pimp

Is that mexican team captain?

what I love about both playing soccer and watching it is that its different every time.. I can do what I want with the ball and there are almost no breaks.. course, you have a raw strategy, but besides that you run where the fuck you want, play the ball when you want etc... no need for a fucking supercomputer to calculate all the moves before the game even starts (ref to the nfl)..

what I hate about us sports is all the breaks and all the fuss around the games.. (predicting sports is what I do besides adult).. can't believe you put up with all the ads and shit around the game..

Atleast people watch the world cup for the game,
not for the adverts at 1/2time.

The thing that makes soccer to horrible to wactch is the futility of any strategy.

Soccer fans will claim it is great because it doesn't stop. That is actually one of the reasons it is so boring and delegated to just a kids game in the US.

Soccer is the equivalent of a football game where each team gets the ball on their own 30 yard line and its always 4th down and goal.

Excitement only comes once every 45 minutes or so but it is a one play deal surrounded by complete failure and boredom.

Now, take a NFL game where they put together a 15 play drive and eventually score on a 3 yard run. Now that is something beautiful to watch. 3rd down and five on a long drive is one of the most exciting things possible.

thats where the rest of the world disagrees with you.. but all of this is based on what you are used to and if you never watch soccer you just won't get it.. same with the nfl and other us sports for the rest of the world..

but that beeing said, why do tv own the sports over there? why do you let them ruin sports?

Television doesn't own the sports. The owners of the teams make money from the league selling advertising to Americans because that who has the money to spend on products. It is a shit load of money. The owners then pay the atheltes millions and millions of dollars to play those sports.

Advertisers realize that no one watches soccer so they dont pay money to advertise during soccer games.

Because football, basketball and baseball players make those millions of dollars, Kids that are good athletes dont play soccer. They play the popular sports like football and basketball.

That is the reason why the US isn't competative in world cup gibberish. Our best athletes are not participating.

Some of our soccer players are only 5'8" tall and weigh about 175lbs. That is just embarassing. It is a fact that the women's soccer team has essentially the same size players as the mens team.

You will say that size doesn't matter, but that is bullshit. Imagine of some of the NFL players grew up in a world where soccer players were popular and made money. The US would win the world cup every year. Can you imagine Shak as a goalie? Deion Sanders speed and quickness. It is a fact that NFL and NBA teams cut players that are bigger, stronger, faster and quicker than the soccer players participating in the world cup.

The best thing to happen to America is that the US lost their first game in the world cup, now we can stop having soccer shoved down our throat on the 4th page of the sports papers and start concentrating on real athletes.

not it's not, discussion closed

In the united states, High School football games are played on Friday nights with thousands of people attending. Cheerleaders, band performing etcc... Newspaper and televsions coverage in most cases.

High school soccer games are played on Saturday mornings with nothing but some of the players parents attending.


College is even worse for soccer players.

Gay is the one that can't play it .

Do you really believe that there is no strategy in soccer? :helpme

American "football" fans are brainwashed. Your beloved sport is a version of RUGBY, not FOOTBALL. UNDERSTAND IT! I have nothing against american "football", I like it, but stop comparing it with "soccer", for God's sake, you can't be that dumb. The two sports have NOTHING IN COMMON other that some idiot named yours "football" and shoved it into your brains.

There is strategy. But very simple strategy relative to football. Like I said, it is the futility of the strategy that makes it so damn boring to watch.

Football is rugby on steroids, with better athletes and people watching.

i think your gay!!!

And they wear tights :upsidedow

Not this debate again...

Go into an english pub and start talking about 'soccer'... then u'll hear the real truth :1orglaugh

Soccer is great!!!!!!!!!

I am willing to take that bet.
Ever heard of the offside rule?
Dont google for it!

Gotta love soccer for matches like Ghana - Czech :)

Pele: 5'6", 175lbs

Diego Maradona: 5'5", 172lbs

Wayne Rooney: 5'9", 165lbs

You have absolutely no clue whatsoever about football. No strategy? Without a strategy, a team will get their asses kicked so hard they won't be able to sit for 10 days afterwards. The only difference is, in football, they don't stop every 10 seconds to take a rest and discuss strategy - they have to work with the strategy they have, and improvise as they go along.

So were you born an idiot or did you have to practice to become one?

The skills that matter in football are different from the ones that matter in American football. The same goes for just about every sport in the world. Being a good weight-lifter won't make you a good cyclist, being a good golfer won't make you a good hockey player, being a good tennis player won't make you a good boxer, etc.

Seriously, how ignorant can you be? :Oh crap

We don't understand something or enjoy it ourselves therefore our only way of dealing with that is to insult those that do.

Anyway, seen most football player's girlfriends/wives?

I bet he could tell you what one of them looks like - maybe.

I dont know what soccer is, but I think YOU are gay.

Check out Figo's wife :)

its all opinion, like whatever man

malicious is gay.

i just wondering .........

American football is gay they have to wear padding like poofs, dont see rugby players wearing any padding. Real football owns and is much easier to get into a game no stops every 20 seconds and shit like that.

I like soccer... it's the biggest sport in the world, there must be something too it. 2 billion people are watching the world cup this year, thats almost 1 in every 3 people on the planet, nothing else can draw an audience like that.

Hard to get excited about a sport where the final score is 0-1, 1-1, 3-0.
Each goal is treated like winning the lottery, but they are so fucking far apart.

soccer is definitely boring, don't know about it being gay. I honestly can't see how people get excited over watching something so slow paced.

so, when are we gonna go to a redskins game?
