Watching any type of soccer is difficult, regardless of who is playing.

Fail sport is fail.

I can understand watching sports can be hard for someone who has never played sports in their life :sohappy:

What is this i dont even...

Reason theres so much cheating in soccer/football is cause FIFA wants to keep their sports "natural" or something by not bringing in cameras..that and refs are just farking horrible.

hate? thats such a strong word for americans and their relation with soccer. its more of we have other favorite sports. but when it comes to our country ppl really do love support their country sports. like hockey in the Olympics when we faced off russia in the semi finals back in the 80s

After seeing a few of last years world cup, and the falls and shit. Nothing will ever make me a Soccer fan. At least the NFL doesn't do stupid shit like faking injury.

Come again?

That happens, at most, once or twice a YEAR. Meanwhile, every single game of the World Cup last year, fall and rolling in pain every 10 seconds. Fuck off, you got nothing.

Neither do you, except maybe a silly bias..

Sunday. I'll be with 5 of my friends gathered around the TV cheering our lungs out. I'm hoarse after today's game from screaming/cheering.

Not everyone in America hates soccer. The 5 friends I mentioned above and myself all play/ed on intramural teams in college and 3 of them in high school.

He's implying that even though there's a generalization that Americans hate soccer, they are still winning. Yes, I'm aware of how stupid it sounds.

no its just that because americans are doing good in something (womens football... LOL) americans decide to back them.
firstly the whole point of having the world cup in america would be to promote the sport in america.... but having it in qatar?! its a tiny un-established country that is full of rich arabs buying football teams because thats the "in-thing"

however... to all you americans? stop. seriously... just stop.. you dont want to be associated with this lame excuse of an over payed sport. stick with avoiding soccer at all costs. (womens games actually have less rolling around crying because someone messed up their perfect looking hair though =) )

so we are not allowed to recognize some good athletes on the world scale? just because soccer isnt famous in usa we cant support our own people?

No, sorry. I like to play and I enjoy watching others play. Especially teams from my country...
