What's wrong with soccer? It's a damn fun game. Better than American football for sure...

I am definitely from the south but I am not your normal southern fellow. I can't stand this place and can't wait to get out.

May I partially hijack this thread?

 

I use to love soccer, but in the last few years or so, I have grown to hate it, primarily because of all the fake 'dives' that occur in the game, and players feigning injury to get penalties, or to make an opposing player incur a card, and so on. It has really put me off the game I once enjoyed.

 

Acting is for the movies, the theatre and professional wrestling (not that wrestling is bad, I quite like it lol). Acting is not for sport.

 

What do you guys think about this?

 

Also, it is very hard to appreciate soccer in Australia, I believe, because we have a sport that is the total opposite of soccer - Australian Rules Football. It is fast, high scoring, and can be blatantly brutal at times. It is very popular.

Maybe, but I hate it. In fact I hate every code of football that isn't 'soccer'. Let's see why:

Rugby League: VERY little kicking involved, mainly it involves running a yard, getting tackled, getting up then running again. Only kicks are after the 5th tackle; even then they usually only bunt it.

Rugby Union: Same as league, only more violent

AFL: Same as Rugby league only in shorter shorts. Okay, there's actually a fair bit more kicking involved but still way too much hand contact on the ball

American Football: Very much the same as league, only you can throw FORWARDS as well, making it even less skillfull and even more about running into the other player

 

These codes should NOT be called football. If anything they should be called 'handball with a little kicking involved'!!! The reason I like soccer is that it is athletic and skillful, it requires people trying to outmanouvre the other person, not just land on top of him.

That said, the recent epidemic of 'dive taking' and 'fake injuries' really does harm the sport, I agree. Such a thing is against the spirit of fair play sports are based on. Besides, though I mock the other codes, it's alot harder to get a foul playing them, THAT'S for sure.

I agree

 

though it's also funny when watching american football. If you compare the college players with the NFL players, you'll see that the NFL players hit like little b!tches compared to the college guys who will kill anyone who comes right in front of them. I guess it's cause they don't wanna injure star players so they can do advertisements and stupid sh!t like that.

You just identified Robero of the Montreal Canadians.

[Captain FuKu]

America sucks at soccer cuz here it's all about football -- mostly. Just like America gets owned by the Japanese in every fighting game except MvC2 cuz that's all they seriously play. Sad.

I suffered too much that time, it wasn't right, i just wanted to get all lg's electronic and crashed, they needed Korea to pass the to the semi cause all the money that was given to Fifa, you'll see that Portugal will pass to the next cause they are the host of the eurocup and they have invested a lot of money, mark my words, Fifa is corrupted, i hope i'm wrong.

Well, it's Euro fever in our country also, although we are not even in Europe

Let just say our country's football leave a lot to be desired

 

And yeah, I do enjoy NBA and NFL and Rugby too.

The only sport that is the most boring Americans can think of is baseball

[Agozer]

I only enjoy sports that's in digital form and even at that, I'm not loving it.
