OK you guys may have some points there.

But truthfully, soccer will never be big in America, and it isn't because of commercials. Most Americans just find it boring. And it has no history in this country.

Someone said that alot of kids play it, but that is only part true. Real little kids at age 5 or 6 play soccer, because they aren't capable of throwing a baseball or shooting a basketball and football is too dangerous. But when they get older most abandon soccer and move on to other sports. The only people in America who stay with soccer are the people not good enough to play basketball or baseball or football. In any American school the football players are the cool kids and the geeks play soccer. That is just the way it is.

You act as if soccer was the easiest sport in the world and only retards who aren't athletic would play it lol. Not everyone has the talent to play soccer. In fact, I know a lot of people who play decent basketball but it's a nightmare when they have a soccer ball near them. That's the case with a lot of american football and baseball players as well, I'm sure of that. Soccer is actually way more physical than baseball or basketball. They have the gay socks for a reason. Fouls can hurt pretty damn hard in soccer. Even the ball can hurt pretty fucking hard in soccer, believe it or not, lol. It gets totally underestimated by people who never played soccer on a higher level.

I thought it was pretty much generally accepted that basketball players were the best athletes on earth.

Yet not necessarily capable soccer players.

not even close, i highy doubt many ball players could last 90 minutes on a soccer pitch, and besides in soccer a team only gets 3 subs so at least 7(8 inc. goalkeepers) will play for a full 90minutes, there are no timeouts, only rest they get is at halftime, how many ball players have that much endurance

1)Rugby is the tuffest sport ever conceived by the human kind
2)Hokey is hella tuff..but there is protections all over the body so cant be 1st
3)Soccer is hard but not as tuff as rugby do
4)American football.... is gay because of the protections & because the game is slow generally ....gain 5 yards etc low distance HOW can u get injured?im still wondering how lol
5)hand-ball& b-ball are tuffs but in another way bcoz there is contacts but generally its not so bad. I do still think that physically bball is the tuffest due to the sprints side to side & the fact u have to be hella precise by puttin the ball in the hole.

infos:
Ive practiced rugby & bball a lot & occasionally soccer

the others never

ps:i was talking about collective sports of course boxing,wrestling etc....dont count...
