Doing absolutely nothing to change Americans minds about Soccer. Even the diehards must admit, it's been fukkin horrible to watch. It's completely failing on its grandest stage.

And I am not trolling at all here.

Americans need to get a taste of Champions league quality soccer. I think if the MLS became like the other sports where the US players are the best then that would change peoples mind but USA does not have a Lebron or Tom Brady for soccer

Americans don't have the patience to sit for over 2 hours to watch two team tie 0-0. It is fukin pointless.

Hard to argue with games such as today. Still , there have been some great games as well ...... 3 - 3 Spain / Port.....2 - 1 England / Tunisia...... 1 - 0 Denmark over Peru ( Great flow to that one )..... and its only the begining of rd 2. Let me know your thoughts after tomorrows Croatia / Arg game or Peru / France ........ my Joe Namath guarantee that the latter will be a free flowing affair.

All the best

But a 1 - 0, 2 hit shutout was a " great baseball pitching duel ". If the USA were involved this year , you could include half of the naysayers onto the Soccer bandwagon.

Just saying

I don't hate soccer. I just will never understand the tie shit and how some teams seriously aren't even there trying to win. I get that some don't have the talent like others but at least go out swinging. It is just pathetic watching some of these teams that show up on the world stage and just play keep away and don't even attempt to score. At least in baseball they play until someone wins.

You watch the England game,notice how those guys don't lay their all day grabbing their ankles,they get up and get on with it.

I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU STUPID YANKS SLAGGING THE WORLD MOST POPULAR GAME, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO FOOKING STUPID AND TOO SHALLOW TO UNDERSTAND THE TACTICS AND STRATEGIES OF FOOTBALL.

GO penetrate YOURSELF!!!!!!

Esco is fired up today.

Why do you care Esco. American sports are different. They like what they like. And they don't like draws.

[HockeyRocks]

3 Games today and 3 shutouts 1-0.....Fukking boring...Get a fukking goal and then play defense for the rest of the game..

[unusialsusp5]

kickball played on a baseball diamond with the exact same rules as baseball is more exciting. usually only played in grammar school but kids like it much better than soccer. also can be played indoors. soccer need to increase the size of the goalie nets to increase scoring to arouse anyone's interest in it in this country.

[jjgold]

Americans too dumb to understand the beauty of soccer

Most popular sport in the world no second place

played in foreign countries because it costs virtually nothing for equipment. only need 1 ball (4.95) 2 nets (49.95 each) different color penalty flags (3.00 each).

[Dr. Fager]

Just a few thoughts regarding these games.The constant faking of injury and being allowed to kick the ball back towards the defending zone ( after having crossed the center line ) are my two peeves. Exact minutes lost to injury and stalling tactics are never made up in the extra time periods otherwise they'd be playing a much more extended time (I get that). The ratio of lost time/added time, however, is too uneven in many of the games. The game is not perfect , needs some tweaking but major U.S. sports make adjustments periodically and so will soccer. I like the aspect of no commercials during the game . I appreciate the skill involved at the l W.C. level and will continue to watch .

Dude, learn the game. They do these things to:

1) To draw a yellow card on the opponent.
2) To draw a red card on the opponent.
3) To waste time when its late in the game and a draw (or a win) is whats desired

The flopping is embarrassing. Makes the nba look like tough guys

3 Games today and 3 shutouts 1-0.....Fukking boring...Get a fukking goal and then play defense for the rest of the game..

exactly right. if a team ever gets up by 2 goals, forget it, game over. the riots after the game far more entertaining than the game itself.

Check the stats across your entire country. There are more girls and boys soccer leagues then any other sport. Yup , even that 3rd world , lower level , European game, works in Rich nations as well.

If your saying that soccer players have never had their heads bashed in by another player or lost a tooth, your delusional...

[pavyracer]

I'd rather watch a 78-75 college football game without anyone playing defense.

It's not celebrated that's for damn sure,you got commentators having an orgasam when a player beats another player bloody in a scrap.

You want to call Hooligans subhuman,look in the friggin mirror,only difference is it's legalized in Hockey.
