    Most North Americans like their sport simplified. Extract the skill and artistry and replace it with brute force and they are happy.

    Compare the following:

    Nascar/Formula One
    NFL/Rugby Union & Rugby League
    Baseball/Cricket

    I did. That's the best you've got? A few hard challenges from a guy who hasn't played in 13 years, and created a SCANDAL because of how rough he played Do you see anyone playing like him anymore?
    Classic to mention a guy who appeared in a video called HARD MEN

    When can we expect today's thread about the 5 minutes you took out of your day to watch the Euro's dive?

    I will be expecting your opinions on their athletic supporter size and hair products as well.

    Please advise

    Please tell me how I'm wrong. If I grow up in England and love baseball or football, how do I play it?

    If I grow up in America, I can play any sport I want in an organized league.

    I've lived in 6 states, and no, I have no desire to leave this great country.

    250 children? That is it? In London? What do you do if you don't live that close to London? There are probably 250 kids who play little league in each tiny town here in America....

    OH yeah man, I bet those kids are playing some real baseball.

    I'm talking about REAL baseball leagues, which England has none of. No one is going to enjoy baseball when the product thrown out there looks like shit because nobody is talented enough or knows the rules well enough to play it well.

    Who is going to want to play the sport seriously when there are boys who play with dolls and girls playing the game? It isn't even going to look like baseball at that point.

    There is a reason there are no NFL players from England and no MLB players from England.

    Not watching today

    Can only imagine how many tears will be shed into the grass today both during the game and after when one side is eliminated.

    now you seem confused-football is a most popular sport in the UK, throughout Europe, and most of the remainder of the world.

    why bother?

    If you don't understand why this: [in other countries, soccer is pretty much the only choice] is stupid, my explanation will likely not blow away the cloud of ignorance hovering over your closed mind.
    and btw, they play ******* cricket in the UK, not baseball, you dope. sheesh.

    I think I can help with the confusion here, Bruce. The name of the forum in which you are posting is "Soccer Betting." You have accidentally stumbled into a North American website, where football is called soccer and American football is called football. I hope that you are able to keep it straight or else find a website that originates from a different area of the world.

    Retarded argument. Offense and Defensive strategy in the NFL is one of the most artistic things in any sport in the entire world. How hard is it to hit a crick ball with a paddle versus a baseball with a bat.

    If you can watch an MLB game and not see the skill and artistry it takes to pitch, you're a god damned idiot who should never watch sports anyway.

    They don't play those sports so obviously they won't have players from there.

    Majority of MLB players are coming from poor Latin countries these days, they play it so they have players.
    You make it sound like baseball is some kind of a special sport.

    Euros enjoy taste of male secondary sex characteristics. Dicks in their mouths. Soccer players bear no resemblance to anything.

    Just saw MLS has a higher average attendance than NBA and NHL.

    And in about 5 weeks start the summer Olympics, a grand celebration where athletes from around the world compete in every sport that is relevant to humanity. There is no baseball and there is no american football. There is walking and women's wrestling. I think this tells you all you need to know.

    Apparently not so much, or at least it is improving. Obviously you can't compare it to the EPL or La Liga, but if you compare it to European leagues in terms of average attendance, it would rank in 7th place just below the Dutch league.

    LA Galaxy toured Australia a couple years ago, one of our bottom sides in the A-League beat them 5-3 with all their stars playing.
    LA galaxy came to australia last year and Newcastle beat them 1-0, Newcastle are also a rubbish side.
