Has Soccer Passed Hockey in Popularity in US?

[Otters27]

Major League Soccer is the Main Event Tonight


Used to be a trivia question out there that asked...

"What two days of the year are there no major sporting events on?"

The answer always was the day before and after the All Star Game

SOC

STRAIGHT BET [28025] TOTAL o3¼-103 (NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION vrs MINNESOTA UNITED FC)

103.00 / 100.00

[trytrytry]

umm not in MN, I ask twelve guys today name me players on the Minnesota United. I got two guy to actually give a name, only one name correct. nobody knew the coach, only 4 of 12 knew where the home games were played!

then asked them to name MN wild players 9 guys gave names over 40 right answers (many duplicates)

Because our Country has gone soft

[Thrilla]

Wow that's a big line for an over Otters.

I'll take the under 3.25 @ -118 and Minnesota HT pk/+0/DNB @ -120.

Thx Otters...oh and GL!

[jjgold]

It’s close

Never thought I’d watch soccer but I watch it now more than hockey

[reigle9]

soccer is just the worst and nobody in america will fake like it until the next world cup where they try to act like being sharp and miss wildly yet again

[jts1207]

Both suck

[RudyRuetigger]

Of course it has

Won't be long til USA is NOTHING and everyone moves to Russia after they reclaim the USSR or israel and this country becomes 3rd world country

[RudyRuetigger]

If I was asked a 1 in a million shot....what is going on in USA


My guess is the higher ups know Yellowstone will explode within 100 years

So everyone in USA will be left to die

So they want many out and let immigrants in


YELLOWSTONE IS DUE GUYS, LOOK IT UP

[reigle9]

go buy a soccer ball from the dollar store

[reigle9]

(i buy my benadryll there)

[rickie65]

as long as soccer players continue to fall in pain like they've been shot 6 times and then a minute later get up and start playing again I can never take the sport seriously. seems like it happens 10x a game at least and most times they were barely touched. look like a bunch of pussies. Give me hockey any day!

Don't act like this doesn't happen in Hockey. It's part of the game trying to get the other player ejected.. especially at the highest level when the stakes are high. And have you ever been tackled on the shins? Elbowed to the face or headbutted while playing soccer?...Doubt it.

[thechaoz]

That would be sad. I'll say no one, and I mean almost no one, on the west coast give two shits about soccer.

On the east it's different. There is a lot of Asians/Indians/Russians etc who are more enthusiastic so it's more popular here, but I haven't had a convo with anyone about it. Just seen a few Jerseys and bars playing the games.

yeah they say they will be able to tell/know years b4 it erupts so what you say could be true

if asteroid, meteor or something like this happens there is good chance we do not get warning

watch for multiple higher ups out of country

go rewatch deep impact or miracle mile

scary stuff

Indians? Indians like Cricket and Field Hockey.

Southamericans and Europeans followed by Asians and Africans better order here I think.

I saw someone in Orlando a few weeks ago wearing a shirt that had a Soccer ball with an X through it, had the 4 major sports logos (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) and it read:

USA

REAL Sports

For

REAL Athletes






I think that pretty much sums it up

[jjgold]

Hockey just has the following that’s very very loyal the arenas are pretty much full but the TV ratings I think hurt

True JJ
Much better product in person

I think the NHL playoffs is a very good product as well, one of the best playoff sports on TV.

[ikid2groove415]

Real men’s watch hockey - not that fake soccer shit where everyone pretends 2 get hurt !! Case closed !!!

[cincinnatikid513]

no way

[daneblazer]

Can’t be naive and say it’s not popular, but I still find it boring. Corner kicks and penalty kicks to decide the game are exciting. The other 100+ minutes are nap time

Americans will never understand it...They think baseball is exciting for fukks sake. I guess they really enjoy commercials???

Hockey is > baseball and nascar combined. I see nascar guys in here chiming in. Yeah...let’s watch a car turn left 40 thousand times

NFL Football mastered it.

3 hours of football with just over 10 or 12 minutes action, and huge ad dollars.

Sorry for the late response, was placing bets!

Are we friends? Why would you try to insult on your first interaction with me?

You misunderstood me but I do not feel like explaining it to you given your reputation as the biggest useless fukk on this forum. I'll explain it anyway. Everybody deserves a second chance.

First I didn't reply to you, was hoping rickie65 would respond. The reason I asked him that is that alot of the time when these things happen and the victim player is in pain the refs wave it off with a warning or pretend they didnt see it. So it becomes natural for players to do as much as possible extra drama and rolling around to make sure the refs and people watching knows he is the victim of unsportsman like conduct.

Damn I lost money while typing this. Time is money!

[reigle9]

nobody believes for a second you have 50 cents dude
