One Thing This World Cup Has Reaffirmed
 

great spectacle cuz of the fans and hype but really the sport is among the shittiest ever invented - can't even mention it in the same sentence as American football, basketball and hockey - think even baseball is a notch above.

I think you suck.

most games have been boring i will agree, but i think the heat plays a very, very, very large part in that

Soccer is not the world's sport. It is the rest of the worlds sport.

If the european soccer associations hadn't been misled about the United States, they would fix the world cup to get U.S. citizens interested. If that ever happened, they would make more money than they ever thought about. Instead, American's will just continue to spend their money on American sports. You know, the ones with the biggest, strongest and fastest athletes in the world.

Soccer? I thought that was theater I was watching. Something tells me they spend more time rehearsing their screams of pain and clutching of their legs more than kicking corner kicks.

once you get to know the players, the people, the countries, the clubs you might even enjoy the sport aswell.. I wouldn't enjoy the bears playing the bengals.. I don't know who anyone is.. I don't know their history and have never heard of the coaches.. how the heck can I enjoy their game?

america is different, but who cares, enjoy hockey and baseball as much as you'd like.. you're the only few I'm afraid...

I think I love you, I totally agree:)

Yes, soccer needs cheerleaders :winkwink:

Best one I've read:

The US isn't the world first of all, it's just a teeny part of it...

...so... doesn't that leave you guys as the odd one out? :1orglaugh

What kind of cowboy are you?

i love soccer but this worldcup is boring, terrible actually, i dont remember many exciting back and forth games.

and i know they had to do something to stop diving but now players who are "fouled" over embelish and look like complete pussies.

i heard about that - puh-fucking-leeze - that thread was ............. a spoof, parody, satire of GFY, relating to a bunch of hahahahahaha threads Boneprone was posting at the time. i could have used anybody's thread - Rrred's was just the one that was at the top of the thread list at the time Boneprone's were there.

Yes, we are a teeny part of the world. A teeny part with the best athletes that consider soccer a child's sport. We have moved on to bigger and better things. The rest of the world hasn't


Its all perspective.

American's hate soccer and the rest of the world hate us for it. The fact that we dont send our best athletes makes the world hate us more. The rest of the world hating us for that makes American's happy.

The brainwashing machine works fine.
You are the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, the wealthiest, the healthiest, the toughest, the smartest, aren't you? That's what they told you on TV, so it's gotta be true!
Ha-ha...I feel sorry for you.

fucking redneck idiot

hehe
It seems to me that you hate the fact that america isnt part of the biggest sports event in the world. Nobody cares if the US sends a team or not.

I love the fact that you mention perspective. Just because someone is generally a good athlete doesnt mean they will be the best at any sport. Someone who has a talent for hockey might not be very good at soccer or baseball.

AHH very funny okay

i just wanted to point out that many hockey players are awesome soccer players, especially the european ones :P

btw i love soccer, fuck the american POV!

:1orglaugh

Get back to the dick you were eating recently.

Some of the best soccer players in the world play in the NFL every sunday. And when the miss a field goal, they are fired and the NFL brings in another tiny man to kick off.

UHm American soccer players maybe. Oh and they are not the best, actually most US soccer players suck....

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Listen to this bitter fool. Talk about bad sports. We get our arses comprehensively beaten and all of a sudden it is because we don't care about soccer. No wonder we are the brunt of so many jokes.

FUCKING PATHETIC :1orglaugh

I personally enjoy every minute of the show. It would probably get boring watching this all year long, but once every 2-4 years, it impress me a lot what they can do with a ball.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Absolute rubbish. Any sport is absorbing if you take the time to get into it and not if you don't. And if you click your other brain cell into gear, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out that any sport with global appeal on a huge scale has something going for it, even if you cannot figure out what.

If you want to stir up a little drama, why not ask why US sports fans have allowed their field sports to be turned into advertising fests. See you later honey... I'm going to watch the time outs this afternoon...

If there was a World Series for Embarassing, you could win all on your own...

Here's some perspective in regard to "soccer / football" from someone who could give a fuck what "sport" they are watching:

1. The players are definitely athletes - to be able to run around chasing a ball for that duration takes serious stamina.

2. There is skill and thought in having the right players in the right position at the right time to pass a ball via foot so it can be kicked into a net.

3. It's one of the most boring sports on this planet to watch.

I enjoyed playing soccer as a kid. It was fun. Watching that shit, though, is a nightmare of boredom.

He saw it on Fox News:thumbsup Americans should stay at home and play with themselves. This applies to military action as well as sports.

There is nothing more boring in this world than Baseball. Which is for some reason deemed "America's Past time"... not sure who voted on this, but they are some truely boring fucksticks.

Baseball is boring to play and even more boring to watch.

You drive by baseball fields in America, they are all empty or they are fenced off so you can't use them (as is much of America, fenced off). You drive by any soccer field in Europe, there are adults or kids playing on every single one of them. When I went to Spain there was a soccer field about every block. All filled with people playing.

:2 cents:

soccer is the worlds game because ANYONE can play...poor countries cant play anything else...not to say thats a bad thing but thats obviously why is so popular. Doesnt take much to put together a soccer game. Playing football, baseball, hockey, need expensive equipment and in the case of hockey you need also need either an indoor arena or cold climate. So dont think soccer is a better game simply because lots of people play/watch. Personally I like all the sports mentioned.

Very solid point.

Kind of like kick the can or kick ball - doesn't take much to play, yet it can be physically stimulating and healthy to participate in. It should be more encouraged in America for children to play sports, with our rampant diabetes and obesity and what not.

In regard to this thread, thought, I'd personally rather watch a pick-up game of kick the can on a street corner than a world class soccer match. That's just me, though.

i thought that was football.. ")

Heh, typical american.
I think there`s something to be said about the fact that the only country where the handball with guys under 400 pounds of protective equipment you play that is called american "football" is in the USA.The rest of the world does not give a shit.

American "Football" is named after the ball, which is 12" long or a Foot. It is not a reference to using our feet.

basketball is cool, but american football is the most boring game ever, too stop/start for my liking.

figured it reaffirmed that Americans didnt give a shit

This world cup has been boring, but so was the last one. Soccer can be boring, but some games are cool.

I used to like to go to Soccer games in highschool. They almost always got into fights. Don't really see any fights in Football, kind of silly to take a swing at someone with more padding on them then the Mars Rover landing gear.

And what's funny, the few times there are fights in football. The first thing most of them do is take their helmets off :1orglaugh

Soccer is like golf. Can be fun to play but how anyone can watch it is beyond me. I was on varsity soccer all four years of highschool and still can't stand to watch it.
