Name some things you Like about SOCCER

[TheCentaur]

Commercials are only at halftime

People say there isn't enough scoring but there are plenty of other "goals" reached like a defender making a great tackle just outside the box or a midfielder passing a through ball on a dime to his teammate

The world cup is half way over and I won't have to hear about it again for 4 years. Thats all I got.

UEFA Champions League is every year

[hurricane1091]

I like well-taken free kicks that result in goals.

[bruins35]

i like watching corner kicks for some reason

[k13]

Fans crying.
Nations doomed.
Ronoldo/messi/rooney failing
Italy/England/spain/portugal losing

[THam12]

Watching a team string together 10+ passes of possession In an effective (forward) manner. Noone knows how truly hard this aspect is unless theyve played at a high level.

Also love a well timed tackle. Noone knows how bad it feels when a dude hits you as hard as he can (cleanly) with a well timed tackle.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Passion of the fans in big games/competitions

The moments when everyone is on edge with every semi-chance in a tight game, similar feeling to OT playoff hockey

Goal Celebrations--Everyone so pumped

[TwoWays]

Better question is why those sophisticated Englishmen stink and are overhyped every 4 yrs. why is the English league considered premier. They are no good.

[daneblazer]

It means so much to some of these countries. That Chile Brasil game was about as intense of a sporting event as I've ever seen

[hurricane1091]

Because the English league has tons of French/Spanish/foreign talent.

[manny24]

is this a trick question ?!???!?!!!!!!

[jjgold]

Every game is two hours no matter what which is a big appeal to many people

U.S. Sports or three hours or more

[eidolon]

The hot women in the stands!

[TwoWays]

I changed my mind. Soccer is awsome. Go titily!

[homie1975]

Set pieces

[Cuse0323]

Hmm, that moment when a team has an opportunity to score then they do. Something like that, it excites me.

[sayethwhaaat]

Biting

[jayson311]

It's a lot like Texas holdem. You spend hours waiting for the right moment and still only have a 65% chance of success.

[crustyme]

last second goals that rips the hearts out of millions of people.

[SharkAA]

I like soccer because Italy got eliminated, penalty kicks and...








Luis Suarez bites.

[no1here]

this soccer is the first for me in 6 decades, still think that it sucks

[I/O]

I never made more money not having a clue about something....but just blindly fading Frogger and Weeder.

It's stealing

[I/O]

The world cup is half way over and I won't have to hear about it again for 4 years. Thats all I got.

That does it....

I have a man crush on Sourtwist.

[RGG]

Has to be the crowd shots of the hot women.

1. No commercials during games. Only at HT.
2. Running clock. You know exactly when the game is going to be played so you can plan your day ahead.
3. No huddle between plays or timeouts. Non-stop action makes you glued to your seat.
4. Breakaways are the most exciting thing in sports. The goalie made a spectacular save on one end and you can't watch the replay because his team is attacking on the other half furiously to catch the other team on the break.
5. Penalty shootouts. Thank God for them otherwise the games will drag on for hours until someone scores or dies on the field.
6. Red cards. Because you can't substitute the player so makes the player think twice before getting one.
7. Free kicks outside the box. Because you can't use your hands to block the ball on a defensive wall.
8. Corner kicks. Because you have to jump pretty high and time the jump perfectly to score a goal on a header will someone is holding your shirt, pushing and stepping on your toes at the same time.
9. The fans. Singing and chanting non-stop. Most beautiful women in the world watch soccer.
10. The refs. In total control of the game running close to 10 miles a game up and down the field.

[jjgold]

Paver great post

Call me later have an elevation question regarding a retaining wall and drainage issues.

[swordsandtequila]

There are games every fkn' day, a degen's wet dream. Can make a few bucks on Singapore S-League not knowing a damn thing about the teams/players.

[leetreaper]

Powerful shots from way far.

[TheCentaur]

I like when a penalty kick is called and a bunch of soccer players from Southern South America try to argue with the Egyptian referee in English

[AimePor]

Players and distanced kicks and dribbling

[ChalkyDog]

It's all about the 2hrs of my life I have to give up to watch the sporting event.
Corporate breaks in action don't occur.
There is more sport being played in the first 20 minutes of a soccer match than an entirety of a NFL game.
The chicks.
