Why was this moved to the saloon?? US members cant take the criticism in PT. Straight up.Comment -
Who wants to be big?......no one. Why would i like to be dead at 50.
Big is never going to be the new toned.
Soccer is for poor countries....LOL I Dare you to go on a holiday. Mr. Economy is shot to pieces. Now what? Go eat a Big mac UP SIZE value meal, if it is within your income xDComment -
I watch soccer ... it just as boring as watching nfl players tap a guys shoulder and get 15 yrd penalties, or nba players drive into someones chest every other possesion to shoot free throws, or watching rich trust fund babies play 35 yr old virgins that live in their parents basement in a poker tournamentComment -
It's true. People in poor countries can't afford the equipment it takes to play a sport like tennis, golf, baseball. All it takes to play soccer is a dirt field, an inflatable ball of rubber, and a few pepsi cans to mark the goals.Comment -
people in poor south american countries seem to be able to play baseball decentlyComment -
Wow sir, that's pretty harsh. Seems like I hit a nerve. This is why it's so fun to troll soccer fan because they blow up at the smallest little comments. Some of it probably has to do with the fact that the truth hurts.Comment -
Soccer is a gamblers dream, there is ALWAYS a game on.. Plus there isn't any "media" breaks like in American sports, you can actually sit and watch the game without seeing 50 budweiser/ chevy commercials.
NFL is garbage, the only reason the league exists is because of advertising revenue. So painful to watch NFL with ads every 2 minutes.Comment -

really good thread if you enjoy dumb shitComment -
This thread should end here ...Comment -
They need to cut the size of the field in half and erect a giant glass wall around the field similar to an NHL rink. There's too much running back and forth at the middle of the field and kicking the ball out of bounds. More offense please.Comment -
Soccer is popular because you dont need to be smart to play it.
Ours is a dumb world.

I'm moving this back to PT. Its sports related.Comment -
NFL would honestly be the most boring sport on the planet. I will bet on absolutely anything, but I usually like to watch games I wager on. I can sit through about 5mins of American FB before I feel im better off getting a lobotomy. Went to a game in the states a few years ago, boring as bat shit. Thank fuk there were cheerleaders and beer.Comment -
The women the soccer players get are much more beautiful then those of the american sports.Comment -
You will never find diving like I posted in ANY other sport.
I don't give a shit how much people bet on it; they're fags for watching it.Comment -
Funny how no one can defend the divers, they just say:
- its the most popular sport in the world
- soccer pros get better women
- etc etc
No one can prove this statement wrong:
Pro soccer players are the biggest pussies on the planet.Comment -
Soccer players are absolutely pussies. Any time they get touched they fall to the ground and cry like they just got shot or something. It's ridiculous. Drogba getting knocked out was pretty fukkin cool tho.

poor countries? do you have any idea about scandinavian countries (I suppose, you are a typical american and even don't know that where is scandinavia) or switzerland, germany,holland,denmark etc...do you have any idea about their average annual salary?
if it is for poor countries, start to play soccer.. over 40 million people get food stamps in USComment -
I thought you were pretty smart.
Most here would think it pretty obvious why players dive.
Players 'dive' because it is very easy to take advantage of the single referee on the field (which IMO is absolutely stupid in this day and age) and whatever he says goes. The assistant refs are supposed to help but more often than not but usually just stay out of it.
There is no stopping of play for 5minutes to check 14 different replays because the game is supposed to be played in 2 solid 45min session. Unheard of for an American, i know.
Soccer players couldnt give a shit if you think they are a pussy or not. They are there to win a game and if they can scam a free kick, a penalty, red card, whatever thy will do it, because they would sell their grandmother to Opium Traders to win a game.
I don't like this attitude from players, hardly anyone does, but you thinking it's because they are all gay pussies shows your ignorance.Comment -
Is there another California I don't know about?

found this, pretty funny
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world for three very important and very social reasons:
- The vast majority of the planet is (comparatively) poor. Not just poor, but dirt poor. So poor that clothes are a luxury. About half the planet lives this way, so it comes to pass that the most cherished form of social recreation is the one needing the least amount of upkeep, maintenance and investment. Soccer is the only sport in the world that needs next to nothing to play. All you need is a ball and, in some cases, not even that. Where a ball isn't available, use what's handy, like a sheep bladder, or a dog skull, or some rags wrapped together, so long as it can roll. And you can play it anywhere. In dirt, grass, gravel, any place where there is a flat surface, and hell, it's not really mandatory that the surface be completely flat. People will make-do with just about any locale. That makes it the most universal sport, accessible to every class, caste, and social status on the planet.
- The vast majority of the planet is (comparatively) stupid. As a result, the form of recreation most appreciated is the one that's easily understood by everybody; a game so simple that you can explain it to a retard while standing on one foot. There is really only one rule: Don't use your hands. Everyone can learn that. Everyone can understand that. It's the one sport that easily crosses language and cultural boundaries due to its simplicity. If you were sent to a foreign planet with instructions to teach the aliens one earth game, without knowing anything about their language, customs or culture, the one game you could teach them is soccer. Just think how far you'd get trying to explain the rules of football or hockey to foreigners who don't understand your language. Soccer doesn't have this problem. It is the one sport that transcends language, culture, race, and intelligence.
- The vast majority of the planet is (comparatively) untalented. Many sports require a certain level of coordination and an innate set of complex skills that need to be applied to enjoy them at an optimum level. Hitting a small flying ball, skating, throwing, tackling, catching. But anyone can kick a ball. Soccer is the one sport in the world that requires the lowest level of physical commitment to enjoy it on a personal level. It takes practically no time to learn how to play, and even less time to enjoy playing it. That makes it perfect for the most uncoordinated and unathletic people on the planet. It is perfect for the athletically optimal and sloven alike.
