If the USA had Won the World Cup they....
 

If the USA had Won the World Cup all you anti soccer peeps would suddenly love the game and agree or admit to it being the best sport in the World !

I don't care what sport you follow or watch but please do not ever compare
any other sport to the #1 sport in the world !

I think you have that one nailed:2 cents: :thumbsup

U prolly right

The USA hates football because they are 100% shit at it. They should seriously hate baseball as they lost that as well.

If the UK won I still wouldnt give a shit.

soccer will never be popular in the u.s . main reason is that this game has no breaks for commercials breaks . it's 90 minutes of one half break during the entire match , unlike basketball , football , hockey , golf - they all have many breaks for commercials :2 cents:

You're 100% right.

Kind of sucks to be America in the baseball.

Cuba
Australia
Japan
Canada
Chinese Taipei
Netherlands
Greece
Italy

Those nasty communists came first and fifth.

yep, that pretty much sums it up :1orglaugh

We'd hear about it on the news and say "huh?"

futbol is the only world sporting event besides the olympics..

it is THE ultimate sport. i only became a fan when i lived in brasil for a year. now i cannot go without it.

why do you people always think that? even if USA won, undefeated, without getting 1 goal scored agains't them, i would still think soccer (or football for you fags across seas) is gayer then boyalley's sexuality :2 cents:

WHY ? because when the US Women Soccer Team won it was big news in
the USA, saw them on the letterman show CNN etc..
Women soccer hardly makes the news even in european soccer countries.

(wonder what the next excuse is)

They would eat you in Taipei for calling them commies, lol.

US got beaten by Mexico in this years World Classic semis, a kinda WorldCup

Your redneck opinion doesn't matter anyway. Nobody cares about you.

probably becuase american media hypes stupid shit, and are a bunch of tards too? don't think every american is like that..

Euro Myth #1:

Football and Basketball are not popular because they have commercial breaks. They have commercial breaks because they are popular. No one in the US would spend money to advertise on a sport that no one was watching. (Soccer)

Euro Myth #2
Football and Basketball athletes should never be compared to soccer players. Its not fair to the soccer players. The biggest, fastests, strongest, quickest soccer players try out to be field goal kickers on College football teams. Some make it, most dont.

Explanation: Professional athletes seriously develop their skills at a young age, most likely high school. At most US high schools, thousands of people from the community go to the high school football game on Friday night where the cheerleaders cheer, the band plays, and the stands are packed. The newspapers and local news cover the stars of the games.

At those same high schools, the soccer games are played the following saturday morning with no one but the players parents there to watch. They play on saturday to keep from screwing up the grass on the football field before a game.

In europe, the best athletes grow up playing soccer. In the US, the best athletes play primetime sports.

Just curiosity... Where did you live here (Brasil)? Do you have a favourite football team over here?

Where do you live righ now?

So a sport which has 3.2bn watching the final compared to 130 million for the Superbowl isnt primetime?

Jesus you cant accept the fact that football is the biggest sport in the world and that is a 100% fact.

I still think they would rather watch Golf instead

whatever, even you have to admit if every country played NFL or Basketball
and the USA would then Win the World series or superbowl it would an amazing achievment and worth celebrating.....but they dont...basicly the whole World plays soccer and to win the World Cup means you are the best
in the whole world at a sport the whole world plays, not just a sport that's played in your country !

Rigth on the money! :thumbsup

Advertising and sponsorship deals for the 2010 and 2014 world cups have already sold out. The packages started at $150 million. Obviously Visa, MacDonalds, Nike etc have wasted their money backing second rate human beings.

Funny how if all Football players are weak that America tends to suck when playing them.

Yeah looks like a bunch of real tough guys to me lol.

Still got that inferiority complex about your dick Splum? :winkwink:

you gotta understand American Football is an AMERICAN sport, Soccer is a WORLD WIDE sport, so compairing numbers is not even close... the number of americans in america, who watch NFL superbowl, is a better ratio then the number of people in the world who watch soccer...

fuck yeah, watch that... see our guys, get railed hard enough to have their HELMETS WHICH ARE STRAPPED ON, ripped off... and get up and be like "Whut!" but your bitchy little soccer player guys get head butted in the chest and they are down on the ground crying like sissy nancy pants :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I gotta say those Brits and Aussies play a pretty rough game too :)

Wow, that has to be one the stupidest things I've ever read. Yeah, no one watches the world cup, that's the reason there are no commercials. And no American corporations pay hundreds of millions of dollars just to have their logos outside the field.

I love it when clueless people think they're sharing their brilliant knowledge with others.

soccer is for pussies

Another lie. Over half of the planet wathces or listens to the world cup of soccer. Our superbowl does not get 150 million viewers.

Are you really this stupid and hateful or is it just your GFY persona?

Ah.. so pro rata populations are OK for sports, but don't apply when talking about paying money and claiming to be the "world's givers"?? Nice to pick and choose :winkwink:

Basically football is an international sport with followers (and vested financial interests) in the billions. Nothing wrong with American football - as you say, it's a national sport. Trying to compare a country with less than 5% of world population to an international sport is pointless.

i hate soccer with a passion... the most useless sport in the planet... even CHECKERS is a better sport

The world classic is nothing but exhibition.

Most if not all the good players play for Major league baseball anyway

Winning the World Cup would GO A LONG WAY in making soccer more popular in the USA. What I don't get is why it's not more popular in the US since manykids have soccer programs.

I just hate watching sports, period. I like to watch football, and that's just to follow my fantasy football players.

Hell.. I played a sport 18 years, played at a D1 school...And I even hate to watch that sport.

don't be so narrow minded, i love watching the best of the best, be it
soccer, golf, tennis or yes even american football.

Thanks professor obvious

i'm not narrow minded, i like alot of different things, but soccer isn't one of them...

i don't think that would stop them , they can use such things as virtual advertising , where they can inject advertising emblems onto the pitch during transmission

then they would use other shit like scrollers

Nope don't like soccer, even if the US won the world cup I wouldn't like soccer, when the women won their little soccer thingie, it didn't interest me at all, unless playboy managed to get them to pose nude or something.

So, most people in the US don't like soccer, who cares? Just because billions watch soccer and enjoys it doesn't mean everyone has to enjoy it. It has nothing to do with commercials, it has nothing to do with anything other than, people in the US culturally grew up learning sports like baseball, basketball, American football, etc and its what the naturally gravitate towards.

that was 100% true. well said.

No one in the US gives a shit about soccer. Even when they got to the quarters in 2002, reruns of baseball games were getting higher ratings. I know you all seem to think we don't care because we suck, but the truth is we suck because we don't care.

Our best athletes don't play soccer. They play basketball, football, or baseball. The kids that play soccer usually end up being the ones that couldn't handle football or had protective parents who wouldn't allow them to play. I'd argue that it's the 6th choice in terms of what a kid ends up playing.

If our best athletes didn't play football, baseball, and basketball, we'd be holding that trophy every 4 years.

Most soccer programs are for the very young though. By the time they are old enough for Pop Warner, they usually move on to football. Soccer is also a predominately suburban sport and the inner city athletes are almost exclusively playing basketball.

Each sport that is not represented in Olympic Games is not of public interest :2 cents:

blablablabla... soccer is the #1 sport of the world, period.

But this is more about the emotions, the mood of the WC!
Personally i do not watch games when it is not a World Cup, but WC unite people, you feel like thr game is what people all over world are interested in.
There is nothing like that about Olimpic Games for example.:winkwink:

Tell that to the 10.000's of Americans who cam to germany for the world cup and the millions who watched it on US TV !


Talk about narrow minded (can i have one guess where you're from :1orglaugh )

EXACTLY!
