Speleothing posted:Basketball is okay until the last 10 minutes, when it becomes nothing but fouling and timeouts. Basketball is the worst sport. Soccer may be boring at times and has diving, but at least it's over in a set period of time. Basketball has just as much diving but the last 5 minutes can drag out for nearly two hours if one team is only up by 4 points.

I was watching the CBC for a few minutes before the lovely NHL playoff game yesterday and learned that there is a Canadian Premiere League. It was dog poo poo soccer by anyone's standards and there were five people in the stands trying to get some presumably racist chant going. It's like the CFL of soccer I guess.

It's expensive as hell in most English stadiums, and some you have to be a member of the supporters club to buy tickets? I could be talking out of my rear end, but I think I've heard that is right. If you want a good gameday atmosphere and not break the bank, you'd want to go to Germany for a Bundesliga game.

But enough is enough. Any growing interest in soccer can only be a sign of the nation's moral decay.

quote:Liberals get angry and tell us that the metric system is more "rational" than the measurements everyone understands. This is ridiculous. An inch is the width of a man's thumb, a foot the length of his foot, a yard the length of his belt. That's easy to visualize. How do you visualize 147.2 centimeters? Belongs in the boomer thread lol.

sassassin posted:Being mad about everything is important for enjoying soccer. Ah, that makes sense. Lacking the complexity or action of other sports, there has to be something to keep people busy whilst imagining something exciting happening. Maybe it helps to also hate the other fans of your own team? That would explain England in general, but also soccer hooliganism

I could be talking out of my rear end, but I think I've heard that is right. If you want a good gameday atmosphere and not break the bank, you'd want to go to Germany for a Bundesliga game. The lesser premier league teams aren't too expensive. Tickets to Newcastle I think can be gotten for like 30 pounds. Weirdly the pricing doesn't drop off that quick. Even league two (fourth level for those not familiar) teams charge like 18-20 for terraces. General sale is a thing, but depending on the team and their opposition they go quick. Edit: champions league is great and the quality is really good if you see good teams. Unfortunately yeah that poo poo is mega expensive. Arsenal-psg a few years back was 90 pound and you had to be a member to buy. The membership thing sort of stays relevant to avoid having away fans buy tickets in home areas.
