This is a ridiculous thread.
You don't like soccer, so you're just saying idiotic things about it.
Soccer is great, really. I don't know how American people can call soccer boring when they watch baseball.
And please don't compare the stadiums enviroments. In soccer, at least in Portugal, the crowd sings all together, when the home team scores is a total madness, because a goal, is a rare thing, not like a TD.
Today, I'll watch my team, FC Porto(2003/2004 world champions), surely Britpats knows it, and I absolutely love to go to the stadium. And in American Football, even the guys from PTI, said that it is one of the sports which is better to watch on TV.
Trust me, in soccer, when you know all the players playing, it sure is a great sport, of course sometimes is boring, but like everyother sport.

1) As someone with 567 posts, you should know this does not belong in the Patriots Fan Forum, but in Other Sports. Or even better on Jetsinsider, but I digress.

2) I understand that you don't like to watch futbol, and that is all well and good, but the intellectual dishonesty of some of your "points" is uncalled for.
-Futbol strategy is as complex as football, if not more so. If you think routes are hard try off the ball with 10 other guys, penetrating a world class defense
-you could have just as easily chosen Ben Roethlesberger as a face of football
-the fan experience is second to none at the Bernabeu, Camp Nou, Anfield, White Hart Lane, etc.

I could go on and on. Just because you don't understand something, does not make it broken.

What we can all agree on... is LETS GO PATS ON SUNDAY!

Both are painfully boring, but I say soccer is the better sport because you actually need to be athletic to play it. Either way,



Sure, I hate soccer. I understand why people like it, though. It just doesn't appeal to me.

Great Post, communist kickball (soccer) sucks.

Most people don't know the true story how youth soccer became big in the U.S., but Stalin was behind it.

After the Korean War, The Soviets couldn't figure why the U.S. was so disappointed in the outcome since the U.S. acheived their initial objective of getting the communists out of S. Korea.

Stalin was told that Americans hate ties. So Soviet agents were sent to the U.S. to get the Americans to stop playing the violent ground aquisition game of football and replace it with a non contact sport where ties are celebrated.

Sign you kids up for Pop Warner.

You got hooked on soccer watching that snoozefest? Can you explain to me what the "strategies" are in soccer, especially since they lead to so few goals?

Soccer is so brutally awful.

My high school football coach tried to introduce soccer way back in the '60's, in gym class, since there were no high school soccer leagues at the time.

We all thought it was boring to play as well as watch, and was just an excuse to run around in the fresh air. I guess it was good aerobic exercise.

My kids played soccer in school, and I wouldn't even watch, just sit in the car 'til the misery was over. They hated it too, and couldn't wait for the season to end.

Reflecting back on it, all I can do is wonder how drunk you have to be, to invent a ball game, where you can't use your hands.

To me, it's as foreign as cricket, and always will be.

I love both sports, but i have to say the MLS is a joke. Soccer players in the us are way to one dimensional, you never get to see players doing flashy moves. Even i find myself bored with the US soccer.

I despite soccer, but I think the thing I hate the most about it is how most of it's followers act like it's such a wonderful, sophisticated game and constantly talk about how superior it is to other sports. I hate soccer snobs basically.
