I just mean in general, even some Europeans just want to see a sloppy 4-4 shitfest. The positioning of the players, the tackling, it's all as beautiful as someone dribbling the length of the pitch.

I just want to add that I don't hate this sport at all, I have actually enjoyed some games a lot and I plan to watch more of this world cup... but games like France/Uruguay are SOOOO fukking annoying!!!
I'm sorry, but there is a flaw in a sport in which -- how many shots on goal were there in the whole game? A couple? I'm sorry, but it's way too fukking hard to get shots... I don't think anyone wants to see the ball just go back and forth between the whatever yard lines (I'll call it the 20-yard-lines, like in American football)... it is soooooooo frustrating! It's like watching a TV show or a movie where the protagonist never gets anywhere, never gets close to what he wants. Who the fukk would watch that?!Comment -
correct sir. What about the flopping and it seems the ref misses a lot of hand ball calls in the box.
Americans would dominate this sport if our best athletes were not playing football, basketball and baseball. Soccer gets what ever athletes are left over. If Randy Moss grew up kicking a soccer ball, he would be better than Lionel Messi. Moss is faster and would dominate in the air.Comment -
Well, Uruguay defended well and France are just rubbish under Domenech.
They needed something like that in tonight's game:

RANDY MOSS????? HAHAHAhahaha, good one man....ur comparing someone thats prolly never touched a soccer ball to one of the best players to ever play the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment -
You loosers, f*** off from the soccer forum..Comment -
Moss is too tall to play soccer in anything other than a centre forward, goalkeeper or central defender role. A low centre of gravity is important.Comment -
You are all out of your mind with your theories. Soccer has been around longer than any sport on earth and there are more soccer players than any other players of any sport. The only people complaining about it are Americans. Quit complaining and get a life.
Ya'll should be fuqqin banned from the soccer forum for life.Comment -
Centre forward, big target man, that's all he is.Comment -
well he makes the national team in a Futbol crazy nation like England. They wouldn't waste a roster spot for a player who's only game is in the air. Guys with size and speed are usually dominate in every sport. What's Messi 5-7 maybe. If he was 6-3 he would be unstoppable.Comment -
no, i read the whole comment and it still wouldnt matter....u make it seem like america is the only place that produces athletes, messi is one of the best ever already and he is sooooo young....how can u say moss would be better than him even if he played soccer his whole life....Comment -
if he was that tall he wouldn't be as quick and agile...just watch his videos on youtube...he wouldnt be doing sum of that shit if he was that bigComment -
True, he does his job very well, but him and Messi are very different players with different skill sets, like comparing the 7' centre to a 6' PG. Look at all of the great players who set the world on fire, Maradonna, Pele, Ronaldo, Zidane, none of them were above about 6'1. Great ball control skill on the ground comes with the low centre of gravity offered by short height. That's not to say height is a disadvantage in football, as it certainly is in certain positions.Comment -
What are you all talking about? AMERICANS absolutely LOVE soccer!
They've won the World Cup several times. Many of the best players in the world are Americans etc..

I tried so hard to watch it butComment -
Trying to explain soccer to Yankees is like trying to explain medieval people the earth revolves around the sun.Comment -
When you think about it Soccer is by far the worst sport, greatest to least I think it goes NFL, MLB/NBA about even, tennis, UFC, boxing, hockey, lacrosse, golf, nascar, boring soccer.Comment -
Anyone who hates soccer, please lift your index finger, put it on the left mouse button, aim it at the X button on the top right hand side of your window and...
GTFOComment -
morons who hate the NFL are people who have no brain or understanding and only like seeing men kick balls and accomplish nothingComment -
I know for real, instead of just enjoying a month long international event instead they rather bash it with stupid comments and having a debate on which sport is better then the other. I'm sorry American's but its not all about you, the world doesn't revolve around you either. How can you win the Super Bowl and call yourself National Champions when your competing against cities within your own country? Wow thats challenging and same goes for baseball. You have 1 Canadian team and its called the WORLD Series? This isn't directed to all American's but I got to say theres more of you like this then there aren't.Comment -
I love my football (soccer to you guys) and I love watching nice defensive plays but the Uruguay France game was a shit game.
It's not about liking soccer or not, it was a shit game pure and simple. The fact that it ended up goalless had more to do with both teams lack of impetus in attack rather than the teams executing solid defensive plays.
Put aside making money on the game etc, and it was a waste of my 2 hoursComment -
I totally agree with you. I was watching the France/Uruguay with a bunch of my buddies and they even kept saying it was a shit game. It was terrible effort on France's part but I was expecting anything more then an sub par effort. Uruguay had to play more conservative which they did so. I'm sure they'll be plenty of more exciting upcoming matches ahead.Comment -
You need to study formations to be able to bet soccer. If teams play with one forward and 5 midfielders the game will be low scoring. So place a bet on the under and take a nap. Then wake up 2 hrs later and call your bookie to collect. No need to hate the game.Comment
