    Accept it.

    Nothing like a reviting nil to nil game.

    I agree. I have tried to like it. Even wager on it from time to time thinking it will be more appealing but it just plain sucks!

            hahaha im heterosexual i dont bet on soccer. never have never will.

            Wanna know what they should do? RUN THE CLOCK DOWN! I wanna see a playeer dribbling on a break away and he 7, 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1 he shoots he scores. Not a clock that counts up and no one knows when they game ****ing ends. The sport just isnt that cool. I watched the mens lacrosse playoffs including duke taking it down today in overtime, so much more exciting.

            Oh ya, not to mention another title out in titletown usa aka durham.nc

                soccer is the best sport, A Goal mean something, strategy and dedication.

                why do you want to see a sport like basketball were you always see the same stuff. Some guy jumping to score 100 times per game. to repetitive for me.

                  Basketball is good when you have players like Bradnon Jennings who are explosive.

                    I grew up with my dad taking me to 20 bulls home games a year. I saw michael Jordan do things 8 times a game that blew my mind. Soccer I have maybe been shocked twice.

                    I would rather watch a guy like rondo or rose break a guys ankle and drop a jump shot.

                        I grew up watching soccer.

                        Seeing Italy win the last world cup was the most exciting thing I could have ever seen.
                        Something I thought I will never see, but I did.
                        I never felt more proud of being Italian, than that year.

                        Sport Admiration depends of where you are raised I guess

                            I just don't understand why ppl open threads offending this sport, on this sport's forum. If you really really hate it, open a thread in player's talk, and stop polluting the air around, will you ?
                            I agree, you might not like it. but keep your comments for another area of SBR, it's quite impolite offending so many people, just because you are frustrated on it.

                              soccer is incredible when u have MESSI

                              Come on guys,soccer is a part of art IMO, look at zinedine (past),ronaldo,messi,xavi,iniesta...
                              football has everything, one orchestra leader, one or two killer,4 or 5 defender who defend their net like defend in the war... it is systematical, some teams come to the pitch for not conceed,somes come for killing them like in the collesium...

                              I really love this game ...

                                    but I agree that some 0-0 games can be boring, alot of teams playing on result.

                                      People that think baseball sucks and it is boring is because they don't understand the game.

                                                Why every so often do we get some naive poster say football is sh*t, i have no clue. Stick to what you like.

                                                I get this feeling those who come out and slag football are those who have no passport and couldn't point Iraq on a f*cking map, or even a European country for that matter. Added to that, they are ignorant to anything that isn't coming from Fox News, 'where the spin stops here'.

                                                Give me a break

                                                    Don't watch it then. With your reasoning all basketball games are great because there is at least one basket scored every game.

                                                        I understand the game fully. I've seen people use this expression before. I have an open mind, I can see the rules / psychology / strategy in every sport...... Although I'm not much of a soccer fan. WORLD CUP atmosphere and importance is intense, the games don't last long either. Every minute seems important. No other sport has the worldwide scale importance.

                                                        MLB on the other hand day after day games pushing 4 hours, I don't care what it is, its way too much.... of course with money involved everything becomes interesting.

                                                              Soccer goals are a series of misfortunate events for the defense that lead to a score. The most luck involved in any sport IMO.

                                                                      I agree, you might not like it. but keep your comments for another area of SBR, it's quite impolite offending so many people, just because you are frustrated on it.
