Smiling Mandrill posted:Soccer is nice because it lets the rest of the world have a sport the USA doesn't dominate. Lame as it is, soccer seems to make them happy so let them have it. They don't seem to realize that the only reason we don't win the world cup every four years is because we are over saturated with far better sports. The men playing soccer professionally in the US are the kids who got cut from their schools cross country team. Also its funny to start arguments with huffy Europeans who like to argue that soccer is in fact far more cerebral, and complicated than American football. Football is far more cerebral and complicated than gridiron

It's ironic that you'd post this thread after 2 nights of some of the most gripping come-backs in forever Like, americans whinge about low-scoring games that end 1-0; but this was a pair of very high-stakes games, both coming back from a 3 goal deficit; including a trick play to take the win. Good footballs e: lolling eternally at 'soccer'

it is with deepest regrets that i have to inform you that the painfully stereotypical soccer fan above was hit by a 260lb(117.934kg) man moving at 20mph(32.1869kph) and has died a very bitch-made death may he rest in piss

To be fair pretty much every sport but one suffers badly from a severe case of not being hockey.

Nooner posted:these guys were totally loving losing it just because they didnt make the playoffs the Champions League is populated by the most successful teams from each european league in each year, so you can argue that the CL winner is the best team in the world. Ajax are a dutch team of young hopefuls, no real big celebrity names in their side, who have had a wonder run in the CL and were going through to the final until the literal last second. imagine the browns having a great season and losing the AFC championship game to the patriots to a walk off touchdown, which is the closest comparison I can think of (idk about football)

Men should be ridiculed for having emotions, truly I am the rational sports fan. Also 'futbol' is loving embarrassing, just call it soccer, it's short for association football, the actual name of the sport and anyone who mocks you for calling it soccer is a moron.

I'll amend that to I'd rather watch a cat take a poo poo than anything that's ever happened on a soccer field. first off i guarantee a cat has taken a poo poo on a soccer field secondly I guarantee some funny fuckin poo poo has gone down on them, which somebody will link it, and nobody will click tyvm

When I was a kid I went to a garden party hosted by David Seaman for some reason (I’ll ask my parents but I think it’s because my Dad was friends with his brother). It was right after the 2002 World Cup where everyone was blaming him for England losing and my Grandma was there cracking jokes about what a poo poo goalie he was oblivious to the fact that he was getting pissed lol. You know when someone’s acting like they’re not offended but you can tell that they’re absolutely seething on the inside.

If europeans weep and knash and riot and have stadium brawls over soccer, just imagine how riled up they'd get watching a sport that was actually exciting. They'd watch one game of hockey and burn the entire continent down. It's for the best

DiggityDoink posted:Golf is most certainly not a sport. It’s even more boring than soccer. i agree with the not a sport part but i'd actually argue the second point, i'd much rather PLAY soccer but i'd sure as poo poo rather watch golf. i mean it's not something i'd ever go out of my way to watch but a bunch of hyper-landscaped courses on a beautiful day with some stats rolling by is pretty solidly better than watching people run around and occasionally act like they broke their leg for 90min

Why don't they let the players sub in and out so that they could run full speed instead of lightly jogging the whole game? That might make it slightly less of a garbage sport

While I'm not really a soccer fan, I will say the crowds seem to be pretty awesome. The best you seem to get in the US is a good "rear end in a top hat" chant going, but they create entire songs making fun of the other team and players and it's great. Edit: You do kind of get that with US college sports, but not really at the pro level. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 15:57 on May 9, 2019 |
