Those titties are nice, but soccer is the most boring fucking thing to ever grace television. I would rather watch 12 games of the marlins vs. I dunno the fucking twins than watch soccer. I would rather listen to General talk shit to Tiggles than watch soccer. I would rather watch Tiggles fuck up a tmo pull, defend himself in his gay voice, than watch soccer.

Haha I only go to Marlin's games to get fucked up and eat overpriced ballpark food with my brother. My brothers fiancé is a huge Braves fan so she likes to go to the games when they come here. They are pretty bad though. Pretty sure you would rather watch soccer. Only way we get through it is by getting plastered.

Personally, I can't stand college football, and it really annoys me. I've tried to get into it but it just doesn't do anything for me. NFL fantasy football is basically my life. I actually just spoke to my boss about being scheduled on Sundays. It won't happen.

[kenzar]

Fair enough. I like watching players trying hard to make a name for themselves rather than NFL players sit back and treat it like a career by not going that extra mile; that's just me though.

The goalie looked like he thought it was going almost just at him, maybe to his right a little because didn't he jerk back to try and save it? I only got a glimpse of the replay, I was on lunch break and managed to catch the game winning goal just before I left the pub so I could def be wrong.

Football and soccer are quite similar.

In football, guys knock each other to the ground with the force of a Cooper Mini to the chest. Sometimes, the guys get injured and lay on the ground for a bit and look like they're in a lot of pain.

In soccer, sometimes the guys lay on the ground for a bit and look like they're in a lot of pain.

Definitely no feigning of injuries in the NFL! Someone remind me why teams started getting charged with timeouts when a player of theirs was "injured" in the last 2 minutes of a half :D

[Kiwaukee]

Sure, you can cite specific examples of vaginitis in both sports.

In American football, it's frowned upon to act like a giant sweaty pussy.

In soccer, it's a strategy to fall down and flail like an idiot on the slightest contact in the hope of gaining an advantage.

I mean seriously... I love soccer and watch it all the time, but to try to compare it to the NFL in regard to "toughness" is just stupid. Can you really defend the shit that Robben did all throughout the World Cup? Because that type of shit happens every ten minutes in every professional soccer match.

Not sure if you noticed, but none of the "soccer" fans here said anything about toughness until the meatheads brought it up.

There are way more sports that are more harsh than football when it comes to physical contact, so making that argument is completely invalid. To say that football requires anymore tactical skill than soccer is such an ignorant thing to say. A football game might last about 3 hours with maybe a solid 10 minutes of actual play time, lol. Soccer is so much better (in my opinion) because there is constant movement and any time wasted with fouls, etc. are added in the end anyway. The people who say soccer is a boring sport clearly don't know the game and only look at the scoreboard.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. Please continue the classic discussion on how football is a more physical sport than soccer. Football is obviously a more physical sport but to declare soccer is full out for pussies is stupid. I strongly suggest if you want to watch something with a lot of physical interaction that you watch some professional fighting.

Just because there are sports with harsher physical contact doesn't invalidate the point. Risk of physical injury is important when determining a sport's ability to hold interest. Yes, there are sports more interesting than American football. Soccer, however, is deservedly weakened by the facts that there is little physical contact/injury and the long, long stretches of time between scores. Watching a ball shouldn't be the end-all-be-all of holding a person's interest.

But even soccer is more interesting than many sports.

[Orruar]

Are you honestly suggesting football players feign injury anywhere near the rate of soccer players? Hilarious. I watched 2 whole games this world cup and saw at least half a dozen dives, with a few "I hurt so bad I'm screaming in pain, no wait I'm up running around 30 seconds later" mixed in.

This is kind of what I'm saying. Physical contact shouldn't really matter in determining how could a sport is (in fact it's your opinion on how good a sport is anyway) but people will always force their opinions on others...

It doesn't take a genius to understand that soccer is hardly about scoring goals, but rather about maintaining possession and building up to the point of a shot or goal that can often times be the most exciting. Take the 6 or 7 pass gif earlier that lead up to a goal for example. The final pass into the goal was a mere 10 feet out and was a tap in, but the sweet passes leading up to that just made it pretty. This isn't like football where a single pass to a single guy who then runs the ball to one direction.

I understand where the impatience can come from watching soccer, but if you know the game it's all really actually exciting. Same could be said for me and my lack of football. In the end it's all a matter of opinion, I'm not going to force it on you but just state how I feel about it.

Physical contact has nothing to do with how good a sport is. My entire point (which spawned this whole tangent) was that soccer has very little physical contact and yet the players writhe around on the ground as if they were getting MMA-style kicks to the face all game. The sport actively encourages acting like a little bitch and anyone who watched even 1 world cup match this year knows it. I saw grown ass men pretend to be tripped (zero contact whatsoever) and then proceed to hold their leg as if they had been clipped by a stray bullet, and then 30 seconds later sprinting around as if they were perfectly fine. It's shameful that a sport would continue to encourage this kind of behavior.

Okay, I'll repeat myself again. I am well aware physical contact has nothing to do with what makes a sport. That's exactly what I am saying. Yet then you will say "Physical contact has nothing to do with how good a sport is" and then go on and say soccer has very little physical contact. I'm very confused, what are you trying to say here?

[Orruar]

You strawmanned in the first place and I was pointing that out. Nobody ever said soccer sucks because it doesn't have enough physical contact. Your complete misunderstanding of the discussion led us here.

Anyone who is not overweight can play soccer and be good at it, the only skill you need is to be able to kick a ball around.
Try running 20 mph with 50 pounds of protection on while rambling through 10 people trying to toss your ass to the ground as hard as they can then catching a ball breaking 40mph and then running another 80 yards. That takes actual skills and STRENGTH, thing about soccer is you really don't need any sorta upper body strength to play it and thats the reason so many pussies play it.

I think it has something to do with the fact most of the countries that are really big into soccer don't have big hills and while they might call Americans fat asses most Americans are not, most Americans are built like freaking trucks.

Could you imagine someone who grew up in Western Pa and WV who spent their whole lives walking up and down mountains and working out playing soccer and miss firing a kick into someone from Europe's gut? I bet I could kick straight through a person from across the ocean...

[Orruar]

Soccer is really only popular because it is the cheapest sport to play. Even impoverished kids in Bangladesh and Africa can play since all you really need is a ball and a couple sticks marking the goal.

[Daldolma]

Lol, lets completely forget the posts that have stated soccer is a pussy sport. I understand the discussion perfectly well and I also understand that there is no point to keep disputing it. You have your opinion, I have mine.

it's not a pussy sport because weak people play it. it's a pussy sport because an accepted element of the sport is falling to the ground and acting like a pussy even though nobody touched you and you're perfectly fine

it's also a pussy sport because the hero of the world cup is 5'9, 140 with dyed, coiffed hair and waxed eyebrows

[Orruar]

Lol, lets completely forget the posts that have stated soccer is a pussy sport. I understand the discussion perfectly well and I also understand that there is no point to keep disputing it. You have your opinion, I have mine.

There are pussy sports and then there are PUSSY sports. At least in other non-contact sports like golf and badmitton, you don't have people faking injury and crying like a little bitch to try and gain advantage. That's what makes soccer a PUSSY sport. It really does set it apart from all others in that respect.

Lol, if your 6"5, over 200 pounds and black you can be a professional NFL player with little to no work. There's a reason one of the best soccer players in the world is tiny, it's because he's very skilled with the ball and if you claim it takes no skill? I don't know if you are flaming or simply that naive. Anyway, you're welcome to try to take a ball away from even a US professional player.

That takes actual skills and STRENGTH, thing about soccer is you really don't need any sorta upper body strength to play it and thats the reason so many pussies play it.

I think it has something to do with the fact most of the countries that are really big into soccer don't have big hills and while they might call Americans fat asses most Americans are not, most Americans are built like freaking trucks.

Could you imagine someone who grew up in Western Pa and WV who spent their whole lives walking up and down mountains and working out playing soccer and miss firing a kick into someone from Europe's gut? I bet I could kick straight through a person from across the ocean...

This confirms you're a fucking retard. Soccer is probably one of the fastest sports played ( hockey being first ) , and one of the most difficult ones to play

You do realize how much skill it takes to pass a ball 60 yards to someone else perfectly almost everytime, and even more skill it takes to control that ball at full flight and speed? Put any athlete onto an american football field and they can do well, put an athlete into a soccer game, even a sunday league one and they will do absolutely nothing.


If you think the only skill we have is running and " kicking a ball "


For the ones complaining about diving, id love to see you go into a 50 50 tackle with no protection at full speed and see how your legs feel afterwards

Hockey? I drank from the Stanley Cup.. And once again Western PA, Pittsburgh still has the very best hockey players in the world. & like I said all you need for soccer is the ability to control a soccer ball give me a week and I would be able to outrun anyone in Europe and control the ball.

Hockey is not a fast paced sport, neither is soccer..
Waiting 3 hours for someone to score a point because they are all to busy faking injuries.. At least in American hockey they punch each other in the face.

===== WAY better then any other shitty european sport.

I really don't understand the hate so many football fans have for soccer. I'm a football fan, but that doesn't preclude me from enjoying soccer too. They're totally different sports that require different physical and mental skills - sure, in terms of raw strength, any lineman or runningback will beat out the majority of soccer players, but to claim soccer doesn't require a huge amount of athleticism and skill is absurd. Soccer requires skills other than strength: speed, agility, awareness and endurance that would beat out all but the best football players. One of the things that impresses me most about soccer is the fact that everything happens on-the-fly. They aren't running constructed plays they've done 100+ times in practice, but every player is constantly reading and adjusting to the opposition, which takes incredible talent and confidence in yourself and your teammates. IMO, only top-tier QBs in the NFL even come close to having that kind of ability.

And on the subject of flopping, let's not pretend it doesn't happen in football too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8-JYSXDp9k

Good vid. Ice hockey my favourite North American sport, but football still way better.

Hockey is the only sport I'd bother watching. I'm not necessarily a fan of any team in particular. I just think it's hot when they fight. :D

I literally almost died of laughter at this post. If soccer is this easy I don't understand what holds you back from going over to Europe and making millions of dollars every year. Instead you sit on here and player this game, flawless logic.

Nice. Footballers and coaches make some pretty serious money though. For real.

Chump change compared to top Euro players. Unless you plan on converting that into 21 million euros a year.

You couldn't pay me 30 million dollars to move to Europe and play soccer bro.
All Europa's economy is about to go under anyway / is already there and lets not forget when Russia decides to go to war with NATO Europe is going to be their first target they turn to glass then the world will finally be free of your shitty sports and I will still be building better cars in my garage then anything that ever came from Europe.
