Fuck Soccer

I'm with you. I'd rather watch Oprah than soccer.

I'll even watch Ellen Degenerate than soccer.

Hey Frank, don't forget queer eye for the straight guy, possibly the most unwatchable gayfest ever created.

Maybe there should be a fantasy soccer league and we could post a sticky thread for it. (LoL)

Soccer is a great sport to watch, I worked in pro soccer for two years and came away with great appreciation for the game. Also saw most of the US and Canada for free when I traveled with the team.
As far as betting goes, that is whole different story.

Maybe I don't understand it, but the only thing that seems to happen, is people kick the ball down the field, everyone runs, kick it to the other end, run some more, ball goes out of bounds so people get to rest for 6 seconds. Then kick it to the other end, everyone run again.

Why do they even use a ball? They should just get all those skinny little waifs out there and just tell them to keep running around, and occassionally use a kicking motion or do a pretend headbutt. How can you play for over 90 minutes and have 3 shots on goal? Is there an easier job than a goalie? You have to stop 3 shots!

And what kind of sport doesn't have a clock that ends the game? You'd think they do, but then all of a sudden, there's this magical "extra time" and people get to run around for awhile longer until the ref decides, "ok, that's enough running for today."

Consider this, a shot on goal usually travels on average at 30-40mph sometimes even faster and harder and there is no padding. Goalies are very well paid players overaseas.
The strategy of soccer is based on ball control and since the field is so big that can sometimes not generate as much offense as one might like or is accustomed to with sports like basketball and hockey.
I know that I can't run around for 90-minutes (45-minutes per half) let alone kick, pass, control etc a round ball on a field the length of football field.
I am not trying to change anybody's mind about soccer, either you like or you don't. I for one enjoy watching all sports whether it's baseball, hoops, hockey football or soccer.

Now that is funny. I don't care who you are!

I agree! I know I don't know the rules of soccer. This sport bores me to tears. I'm sure it's fun to play. To watch on TV that's another story. IMO soccer will never be popular in the U.S.

Daddy, I love your last paragraph about the clock and the refs. So True!

I've always felt they should play soccer without goalies.

soccer still sucks.

Funny post Hoosier Daddy.....

I like to compare soccer to basketball. In basketball, you have to put a ball into a goal that's just twice the size of the ball with sometimes more than on guy in your face. Pro players do it over 50 times in one game.

Soccer players have to put the same size ball into a goal at least 1000 times bigger or just a little smaller than the size of a K-mart with sometimes only one guy in their way. These players only do it 2-3 times per game. True, they have to use their feet, but mokeys can eat with their feet.....Maybe they should allow the players to use their hands.

I do like world cup soccer. USA will win it when generation X kids get older.

Hoosier Daddy-your response is classic;one of the standup comedians like George Carlin should use that as part of his act!
