why do americans hate on foot-ball ?
Low Key:
I don't think soccer is gay, I just think it's incredibly boring. I know it take a lot of talent and physical endurance for them to do what they do on the field, but when the the game ends and the score is 1-0, it seems like a huge waste of an hour and a half. Plus, in America, parents use soccer as a nice gentle game where everyone gets a chance. Let's say if the score is tied, the parents and coaches encourage the kids to stop trying so everyone feels appreciated. They take the competitive nature out of it.

You mean soccer in the US league is boring . Watch European soccer (Spain, English, Italian leagues), it's on another level. It's like watching European B-Ball

No, I'm talking about European soccer. I've sat down and watched it a couple times. I'm saying the moves are cool and I'm sure there is a lot of skill involved, but aside from that, it's a slow moving game. Most of the time the ball doesn't get anywhere near the goal.

Um... it was actually in St. Paul. I just stayed with my family in bloomington (suburb of minnieapolis). I have no idea where the exact location was, since my cousin did all the driving. It was an annual thing they do in a different city every year. The next one planned to be in seattle.

Oh ok. Bloomington is about 5 miles away from where I stay at. I haven't seen anyone talk about Minneapolis here so I had to ask.
