    For those of you who think soccer is boring...

    You can now shut the fukk up.

    This game has been nothing short of ecstatic and exciting. Goals (one of them while down a man), red cards (one on a goalkeeper), penalty shots (saved!), plenty of chances, lots of good plays.

    Usually the opening games/rounds are very passive. This is quite the opposite.

    Yeah, I don't bother debating anymore and ignore dudes who bag on the game. I don't like the NBA, for example, but ain't gonna waste my breath talkin shite about it.
    They call proper foots the beautiful game for a reason. Today was a perfect example of that. What a crazy ass game.

    Forgot to mention how the players barely get hit and act like they have just been shot lay on the ground for a good 3 to 5 minutes. Exciting to some boring to me to each there own. I played soccer back in the day but football, basketball, baseball alot more fun. And i'd rather watch any of those 3 sports over soccer.

    Least i didn't hear those bucking annoying horns they blew during that one world cup.

    I always feel bad for the grown men who are forced to throw their masculinity out the door playing a teenage girl's sports their whole life just because they were born in countries too poor to buy the equipment to play real sports like tennis or hockey...

    It's not boring but not tremendously edge of your seat exciting either. Today's game was great but you'll get the 0-0 snoozers too...

    It has its shortcomings but the lack of commercials makes up for it

    Soccer is the most watched/played sport in the whole world. I do like basketball/American football/Rugby, but baseball really? throw miss throw miss throw miss throw miss zzzzzzz.... HIT!! yaaa... Throw miss throw miss, commercial (5mins later) throw miss throw miss.... lol you get my point.
    I do admit soccer angers me when I watch men throw themselves on the floor, but that comes with the game. Its an amazing sport and the Best sport in the world, but each to there own. and everyone is in titled to there opinion.. #Justsayin

    Flops are everywhere in todays sports...however it is just borderline retarded to call tennis a masculine sport while taking soccer out the equation. FOOTBALL (as the world knows it) is more than a sport for many cultures, it is a religion...the rest are the sports, except baseball and cricket, i rather watch people go by on the park instead of spending time on this two...

    well hope u guys enjoy the euros, cos its definitely a level up than the world cup...

    Since its so exciting, I guess you aren't watching Cuba/Canada.
    Nothing worse then watching a sport that can end in a tie and the funnest part is trying to figure out what the crowd is trying to sing.
    I usually bet on it and then watch flashscore and wait for the noise of a goal, usually a little more entertaining.

    What's a major sports?

    No one plays NFL football.
    Baseball, U.S. loses in all international competitions.
    Basketball, lot of embarassing losses the last 10 years. No longer dominant.
    Tennis, pathetic.

    What's left?

    If not for the Negros from West-Africa, U.S. would be one of the most pathetic Nations in Sports for its size/money.

    As an American, it is inconceivable to have a sporting event end in a tie. This is what prevents us from liking soccer.

    International games actually tend to be low scoring....league soccer is more exciting.

    i hate people who say there is no scoring. Football games are often 14-7, which is basically 2-1 in soccer. maybe soccer should make every goal worth 10 points, and maybe you guys will just shut the fuk up about "low-scoring" games. these guys also play with steel studs and little protection on their legs, and there are way more gruesome injuries in soccer then in football or basketball. at least there's always action and zero commercials, unlike the NFL (nancy football league) and basketball.

    soccer is a horrible fkn sport , the field is ******* huge , all they do is run back and forth and kick a fkn ball , so boring to watch , id prolly play it , id even rather watch hockey over soccer , and there both shit sports , basketball is the most physical sport of them all. all of you in other countries who disagree with me , if u had real american football teams to watch /root for , you would agree that soccer does not compare.

    I appreciate any sport when played at its highest level, and nothing is boring when you have cash on it. But you lose credibility if you think basketball is "the most physical sport of them all". Hockey takes the same endurance and athleticism as basketball and soccer, with full contact while on freakin' skates. And try telling a rb/qb/wr that basketball is more physical than being hit by a 250 linebacker who runs a 4.4 40. That's just stupid. And I'm an American.
    At the end of the day, different strokes for different folks. Just make me money.
