seriously...
From the outside looking in it's just because all they're doing is kicking a ball. I know there's a lot of strategy and skill involved in it, but from someone who hasn't grown up watching it, it just looks like some guys kicking a ball. And I don't really think it's gay... I watched the world cup. I even travelled from San Diego, CA to Minnieapolis, MN just to watch some soccer games (and chill with the family).
So basically is just what your exposed to. US=football Canada=hockey rest of the world=soccer.

LOL i understand what you mean, but you have to look at the other side to. For peolpe who dont know football its the same. From the outside it looks like al they are doing is trowing a ball to eachother and run like hell. But i understand what you mean because you didnt grew up with soccer. And dont forget Soccer is THE biggest sport in the world.
But plz tell me what looks gay about this?
Perfection:
Soccer is boring that's why. I high score in a sport shouldn't be 1-0 or 2-1
africas seed:
one of the main reasons y n.americans dislike soccer is when they fake their injuries or dive to get a call. that pisses me off when i see someone dive or just grab their thigh or some shit in excruciating pain and then when the ref calls the foul they get up like it was nothin.
