you ignorant Americans that hate Futbol

[statnerds]

should be watching this Barca/Arsenal game. hell of a lot more excitement than the NBA. yes it is nil-nil, but man, tons of action. i think it would help if you took your fat, out of shape asses outside and tried to kick a soccer ball or try a few simple tricks. once you understand and appreciate the level of skill it takes to perform at this level i trust your would start to enjoy the beautiful game.

and their fans have way better chants than anything state-side

[Glitch]

dont even think its on tv here. shouldnt you be cooking up some more diseases to bring over.

[2daBank]

they gotta chant or do something to get themselves through a boring fukkin game..running around kicking a ball all day just for it to end in a fukkin tie, fuk off euro trash

[Masu485]

americans have a shorter attention span so they can't watch and enjoy a continuous 45 minutes of action, it'll need to be interrupted with ads every 3 minutes for them to enjoy

[2daBank]

there only 1 football and it aint fukkin soccer....we like man sports our little kids (mostly girls) think soccer is cute though....then they grow up and realize its fukkin gay

how ironic that this poster is a baseball fan-the most boring of all boring sports.

45 minutes of action? action? ive seen a lot of soccer and action is not a word i would use to describe it

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

there only 1 football and it aint fukkin soccer...

that's the sport where all the players wear tights and each play starts with one man putting his hands right on top of an other man's butthole, right? yeah, nothing gay about that.

keep em coming.

no need to be an idiot .. currently play college soccer and have played basketball forever ... both take great endurance and skill .. wouldn't put one over another to be honest

[mlb]

not comparable .. both take incredibly different skills ... this whole thread is trash.


EDIT: meant to quote the baseball one too

[Glitch]

im ok with soccer but its at the bottom of the list of sports im ok with. a game can end 0-0 and people will say it was a good game. so repetative. it is growing on me a bit i guess though

this whole thread IS trash

Baseball is good if you like to drink beer while watching it. Those 2 minute breaks every 10 minutes are a beer drinker's paradise.

only a faggot would equate that to being gay.... hey if the tight pants get you off im not here to judge

[Masu485]

i've actually been noticing a lot LESS 0-0 draws recently. there's only about 1 or 2/day now out of 200 games played.

[coloradobuff]

i dont hate soccer, i just wish that world cup wouldnt be decided by penalty kicks like last 2 have..

[mlb]

any sport can be on anyones bottom of the list .. its personal preference ... I would say if you even saw a college game live you would think it was a lot crazier than you woulda thought before hand .. but either way ...

anyone who feels the need to start a thread to bring down another sport really needs to find a new hobby

nothing directed at you Masu, just kinda take offense to some piece of trash calling me a idiot because i dont like the same sports as him

Who cares about chants..its all about the quality of product..and NFL blows away FUTBOL/SOCCER..so put that in your pipe and smoke it chap

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

only a faggot would equate that to being gay....

I call it like I see it. lots of men in tights, lots of butt slapping, every play starting with one man putting his hands on an others butt and grundle area...

and futbol is gay? something tells me you're not a mensa member.

[vitalogist]

Really good match. Amazing its 0-0 still.

[iceminers26]

I actually like soccer, its been one of my favorite sports to watch and follow the past 2 or so years (mostly just watch the EPL) but I'm really pumped for the World Cup in a couple months. I can however understand why many Americans do not care for the sport, with its lack of scoring in the majority of matches and plus its never really gets marketed over this way, with the only exception being MLS (a ****in joke to say the least). I too like watching the high scoring matches for the most part but unlike the many that complain about the lack of scoring in this sport and say it sucks, I actually like a game that involves some solid defense as well so I find myself at times enjoying a 0-0 draw and such. When I think of soccer and how Americans view it, I think of the NHL and all the rule changes they implemented over the past couple seasons to boost up scoring and satisfy the needs of the offensive minded Americans. The NHL is still fun to watch but boy did they ever hurt the game with these stupid touch penalty calls that produce tons on PPs which more often that not leads to high scoring games. You cannot clutch and grab anymore and rarely do you the see the good old 1-2, 2-1 type games. The EPL is in a league by itself IMO and maybe Americans just view soccer from an MLS standpoint which isn't saying much because the league blows but hopefully with the World Cup coming up this year that the sport will grow in areas of the world where it hasn't fared to well in the past.

Yo Statnerds, I think the reasons that soccer or futball just ain't ever going to cut it in the states is:

While I'm sure the action doesn't technically stop, not every player is "playing" all the time.
There isn't enough physical contact or violence, not including the bored fans in the stands.
The rules are anti scoring, WTF is up with the offsides rule, I say if you let someone get behind you, tough shit, he should get the ball because he is open and closer to the goal, so screw the offsides, make them defend the field.
The commercials during the NFL games are designed so you can change the channel and watch annother game for 2 minutes and then get back to the game you want without missing anything. Soccer doesn't have this luxury, plus when you miss the one and only score, you've missed all the action that matters.

One of these days in the future, I hope that the US islucky enough to actually win the world Cup. The rest of the world will lose their minds, and people in the States will still not give a shit, especially since the world cup is gettting over when the NFL is starting. It would be forgoten in about a week.

The US will never win the World Cup, I was impressed with them at the Confederations Cup but lets be serious, there is just no way they can be consistent enough to take out teams like England, Brazil, Spain, etc on a consecutive basis. Not saying they don't have a big win here and there but they're just not capable of following a big up with another one and closing the deal.

If it's action y'all want, there's a bull pen that belongs to a friend about 45 minutes from me. Pretty boring to start with, climbing on top of the beast inside the chute. Then the gate opens and the longest eight seconds in your life will take place...well, eight seconds might be pushing it for some of you. Remember, after you get thrown off that bull is likely to think you're the one that cinched up his flank. Don't lay on the ground too long.

[RageWizard]

I agree with you, but sometime in the future conceivably it could happen. I'm pretty sure that soccer ain't ever getting popular here in the states, so the odds are eventually it will happen. Hell I think we are actually getting better over time, who knows in another 50 years, we may have a chance.

[pavyracer]

People don't realize that the entire team of Brazil, Argentina, Spain or England has a payroll equal to the Yankees if added per individual player for his club salary. So when you are saying the US has a chance to win the World Cup is like saying the Royals have a chance to win the World Series with a 30 million payroll.

I would love to witness it and will be rooting for them this year and for years to come, just think the gap to make up will take some time.

I always root for the bull. I love blood sports.

[mrmarket]

I like soccer but hockey is def the best sport to watch.

[statnerds]

some you dumbfukks don't know i'm American? and if the only soccer you have seen is some boring ass match with pussy english squads that are afraid to attack and play defense first, you need to watch every Barca game you can...non stop attack, attack, attack.

World Cup will draw more viewers than any Superbowl in the history of the NFL. i love American football as well, but it is 10 seconds of action followed by 30 seconds of none and then commercials. seriously, how much action goes on in a 60 minute game that takes nearly 3 hours to complete?

and if you were offended by the thread title, you are frankly a douchebag that really needs to lighten up. so much testosterone on SBR. bunch o alpha male wannabes.

and yes, nothing in the world compares to the NHL Playoffs....fukkin love it!!!!

yeah i guess the thread title was a bit harsh to instigate responses
