i find it extremly boring & that annoying bee-like buzz of a crowd is HELL.

plus, we (Americans) have better sports to watch.

Baseball >>> Cricket
Football >>> Soccer

they are better sports & it makes Soccer look like shit lol.

 nah aite a few of the stations are now sayin for soccer to be talked about more in this country the sport has to become more interestin
fair enuff
we used to have ronaldo (wit brazil who was mad dope)
we used to have seaman, giggs, neville brothers, all them players on man-u
then this beckam stint came and went aite not bad, but wack lol

but still the sport is interestin (not jus for the fans overseas0
aite b-ball, football are more amped up
but soccer is a interestin sport considerin it involved alot of work and needs patience jus like tenis (even tho thats 1 on 1)

but damn this sport gets alot of hate......even on here lol

^Hockey is pretty boring too; it should just be called SFC (Sidney Fuckin' Crosby) & i would watch every single game lol.

Baseball - best sport on the planet; some shit is going on with steroids, but don't even front it's goin' on in every sport (including Soccer). but best sport as far as officiating & lack of BULLSHIT calls.

then it is a toss up for Football & Basketball; i prefer Football over B-Ball.

two sports that have pretty gay officiating & make the sport worse than it should be, but extremly entertaing & a main source of my income with gambling. :P

then, Hockey, just for Sidney Crosby, no one else.

then, Tennis, followed by Chess, Checkers, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hop-Scotch, Ping-Pong, Walking, Hot Dog Eating, Pig Races, Cee-lo, Nascar, Staring Contest, Marbles & then Cross-Word Puzzles & Word Searches (in order btw). :P

then MAYBE Soccer. :P

but thats what im sayin you war ship or like them sports and vice wit a european fan who doesnt have the same access to the same sports as you do in this country
but still soccer isnt the worst sport ever, IMO its complicated
lol @ at your list tho
Title: Re: damn why is soccer hated so much???
Post by: Chamillitary Click on June 29, 2009, 11:39:51 PM
Battleship >>> Soccer. ;D

then all the people who watch it are fat-asses who can't even play it.

in Baseball, you can be big & still pitch or DH, if you can hit.

in Football, you can be big & still be a Lineman.

in Basketball, you can be big & be fatboy in the corner who just has the NASTIEST JIMMY. :P

but in Soccer, you can't be big; you HAVE to be slim & fast; so you see games on TV & they go to the fans & you see these fat guys rockin' all their countries shit & they can't even play. :laugh:

plus, it's too slow to really get into; scores like 2-1 only fly in Baseball; but their is constant action in Baseball; you watch Soccer & you see them kick it all the way down field & then the other team punts it back the other way; it's just slow & boring.

Post by: you gon always be my latin queen bitch on June 29, 2009, 11:48:37 PM
aite fair enuff, looks like you dislike it for your own reasons
but you feel what im sayin if you chop it up wit a european fan?
they gon say the opposite of what your sayin possibly
now ive been round the world and been round different sports/countries where they have only certain sports there
to me
well i was gon make a list like you, but basically all them sports are good
soccer, football, b-ball, baseball, and even nhl are all good, fun and some of em are borin
but baseball is borin its still good but its borin

Post by: you gon always be my latin queen bitch on June 30, 2009, 12:14:38 AM
yeah i mean soccer is a interestin/amped up sport jus like the rest of em
but IMO maybe if you were in different countries you might like it
havin lived in different countries where for example (football, baseball etc..) are non-existent soccer is like god, not jus cuz its the main sport but cuz its interestin
its not a easy sport but damn its been gettin all this hate/moreso attention lately
they sayin us needs to win some for them to talk about it in this country, but yet some of the best players arent even american or playin in this country
which is why i dont understand they hate on this sport but not others where other sports dont have all their players here

Well, the Americans are used to it that we copy  every aspect of their culture, like fashion,  films and music because they are the current leader of western civilization/the world.  The only exception is sport because of football. It's ok that Americans have their own preferences, but the problem is they're jealous because they can't establish their cultural dominance of the world in this aspect.

lol@gettin wet over phsyical contact..what phsyical contact is their in baseball??,.,,i dont even know why a.football gets compared to proper football when its clearly a variation of rugby

like if anything you should compare proper football to basketball...where speed,anticipation and technical ability are the main attributes

and your also mistaking football as a sport with the primadonna on 115 grand a week in the top leagues....

anyone who plays sunday league or indoor football knows wassup lol

you guys always hate on football simply because you think it's boring? I think baseball is boring, but I'd never jump into a baseball thread and write some stupid shit like 'baseball sucks'. The classical reasoning for their hate is 'I always hate on soccer because the Eurofags are so sensitive about it'.
 No, it's the envy because your sports don't get the worldwide recognition like football does.


A lot more then soccer is.At least football has good physical contact.Not like soccer a guy gets touched and acts like he just got shot.

I know, Americans can't enjoy anything without big hits or explosions. And cheerleaders of course. Maybe we should attract some 'enforcers'  (in other words: potential prison inmates who have no talents except mayhem) and allow them to fight until the first one gets knocked down to make it more appealing for you.

Ulot all say Soccer is boring because 75% of you only see the MLS which is one of the worst leagues in the world, not surprised u find it boring as fuck but u cant say the important football leagues are boring. It has more action than Basketball (which im a fan of) and Baseball, which is truly the cure for insomnia, i dont get how any one can sit down and watch it, its soooo boring lol. No way in hell is it better than Cricket, watch a Cricket Twenty Twenty match then i dare u to say Baseball is better

Im a fan of NFL even though i find it annoying sometimes cos of all the stoppages and well Hockey seems to be more about fights than anything else

But lets all be honest, the one sport which shits on every sport i just mentioned is RUGBY, no giant pads, helmets, constant stoppages, this is a REAL sport

Its because its boring to watch.It makes baseball seem exciting.

you guys always hate on football simply because you think it's boring? I think baseball is boring, but I'd never jump into a baseball thread and write some stupid shit like 'baseball sucks'. The classical reasoning for their hate is 'I always hate on soccer because the Eurofags are so sensitive about it'.
 No, it's the envy because your sports don't get the worldwide recognition like football does.

by all means, you can think whatever you want; but we love Football because it's hard hitting & exciting, you can place bets on it with spreads just to spice it up.

the best part of Football is that no assemble of any 30 Non-Americans in the ENTIRE world can beat our best. ;D

if you lived in America you would agree & admit Football is the better sport; but you have too much Euro-Pride for that.

people play Soccer because they can't play any other sport; it's such a stupid argument to say "Soccer gets more Worldwide recognition" when thats just because their is a whole continent of Europe who ONLY knows Soccer. sure, more countries play Soccer, just about everyone does; but if you fags got into the sport or got into Baseball that would easily be the dominating sport of the World.

US, Asia, Africa, all those islands, DR, PR, Venezula, etc.

you're the only reason Baseball isn't the biggest sport in the world; but even without a whole continent playing it, it's still "the talk" over Soccer anyday of the week. 8)

so the reason you guys hate on Football is because you simply can't play it.

Of course that's true; only the Americans know the rules.

Secondly, if you lived in South America, Asia or Europe you would be football mad (sorry, soccer ::))

Your whole argument is a little weak. You admit the best part of American Football is that Americans are so good at it. You say if everyone else got into your sports, they'd be the biggest in the world too. Well with all the American TV distributed around the world, if it was gonna happen it would've happened by now.

The reason 'soccer' is so big in the world, is because it only requires a ball to start playing. It can be very simple or very complex, depending on how you play it. The nearest American equivalent is basketball.

Fuck it, this whole thread is pointless. Shit ain't gonna change. The 'soccer' World Cup will continue to be bigger than the Olympics.

but your also a moron because if you don't know that Asia (China, Japan & Korea) aren't in love with the game of Baseball your MAD!

i also the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico & Venezuela which make up at least 50% of the MLB; but go ahead & tell me their biggest sports are Soccer. :laugh:

and show me where i said venezuela likes football more than baseball? nevermind the fact you switch between baseball/american football and basketball dependin on which suits your arguement

i'll give you Africa but at least they have a baseball team.

Asia has good Soccer teams, but they still are bigger in Baseball, you just aren't up to date enough with it to realize it.

& i never said anything about South America i was talking about those small islands below Florida lol.

by the way just because "all it takes is a ball to play", doesn't make it a good sport; just because it accomidates 3rd World Countries who can only afford to play Soccer doesn't mean "geez, Soccer allows people of all incomes & living conditions to play; it has to be a great sport." :stupid:

exactly, but fact Hockey is expensive doesn't make it a good one either.

the cost has nothing to do with the game.

that's why a lot of minorities play Basketball, they spend 10 bucks on a crappy ball at Modells & can ball for years; but Basketball is a fun, exciting sport to watch. ;D

and you said nothin bout south america..i know..but you said only one continents main sport was soccer an i disagreed citin the continent of south america as an example ...plus if only poor countries like it why dont porta rica and the other countries you named their no better off than brazil,argentina etc  :stupid:


by all means enjoy your sports...but dont sit there sayin the rest of the world is wrong for enjoying one of the oldest sports still played on a grand scale LOL


Title: Re: damn why is soccer hated so much???
Post by: Chamillitary Click on June 30, 2009, 11:26:58 AM
^Baseball? yes lol.

glove - $75 is a cheap one.
bat - wood - $70 is a cheap one & they break; metal - $150 is a cheap one.
cleats - $50 are cheap ones.
gotta pay to join a team & for uniforms.

if you want to play seriously, you need to put up at least $250-300.

Basketball is fairly cheap.

but those small islands make due of what they have; Sammy Sosa used a milk carton for a glove & started out hitting bottle caps with broom stick handels.

plus, it shows actual talent; if the ENTIRE world plays Soccer, how valuable is one Soccer player?

not the superstars, but the average role players? if you're coordinated enough to play & you start when you can walk anybody can play Soccer professionally, somewhere in the World.

when you watch Baseball, Basketball or Football, it's nice to know the best of the best are playing because you have to be gifted enough to play the sport.

i never said the World is wrong to enjoy it; the thread starter said "why does it get so much hate"; it's boring, hands down & people who can't play other sports or people who can't experience other sports stick to Soccer.

just because it gives people equal opprotunity to play doesn't mean it's a great sport though.

Soccers not a piss easy sport to play like you lot all seem to think and if it is then how come the US have no star players and the MLS is one of the worst leagues in the world? it takes more skill to play than Baseball and more skill than it requires to be one of the big fat guys blocking in NFL who need an oxygen mask after every 30 second play  :-X

Another thing, Soccer isnt the only recognised sport played in Europe, thats just fucking retarded to even suggest that; Cricket/Rugby/Tennis/Athletic are all bigger sports in Europe than American Football/Baseball/Ice Hockey or Basketball, Americas 4 main sports are only played on a major scale in America, in Europe we got NFL but nobody cares for it, we got Ice Hockey but its not at all popular, shit Rounders (for girls) is more popular than Baseball over here, the most popular out of all your 'main' sports is Basketball

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world because you don't have to go buy pads/helmets/iceskates for it or find a massive space of land to play Baseball, football is easy to pick up and play, the closest thing you've got to that is Basketball, while Soccers cheap to play for a kick in the park at a professional level it's expensive. You mentioned Sammy Sosa playing with crap equipment/conditions, do you realise how many greats equivalent to that there are in Brazil/Argentina? Where they learn to play in slums in shanty towns barefooted etc etc And these are the two most successful countries at National level, your telling me theres no talent in that ???

And lol at you all saying Soccer is boring, American Football/ Basketball have stoppages damn near every other minute, and all i will say about Baseball and Hockey is theres a reason people get drunk when they watch it...o and you know sports betting is allowed in other countries apart from the great America  ::)

Hockey is far more exciting to watch then soccer.You don't need alcohol to enjoy it at all.They only have 3 stoppages every 20 mins and its constant action.Instead of a ball being kicked back and forth over a huge field its condensed with far more action.More goals and people getting hit left and right and fighting on top of that.Its non stop action.Soccer theirs what maybe two goals a game on average with no physical contact and people kicking a ball back and forth all game.Wow how exciting.The only reason hockey isn't bigger is because of the expensive costs of it.A hockey arena is very expensise to maintain.The equipment prices are through the roof.Buts its an adrenaline sport with very few stoppages lots of physical contact and great atheletes.On average a shift in the nhl lasts 35 seconds for each player because of the physical exhaustion the game requires

Hit the nail on the head there.

I used to play field hockey when I was younger, and I can see the appeal of ice hockey. But 'soccer' allows for much more skillful and artistic expression than any other sport, which is why it's number one.

Like I said, basketball is close to 'soccer' in this respect and it has a lot of fans over here in the UK. The rest are uniquely American sports with complex laws which cater more to strategy than athleticism. On that note, it's surprising how cricket hasn't taken off in the US but that's probably cos it's played by Eurofags.

I agree with you that hockey takes a lot of skills. But one question: How is it possible that Chris Chelios is still a professional with 47? Even the best/ most athletic football player couln't do that.

LOL at some of the posts in this thread, seriously WTF  ::)

Football (soccer) is the worlds most popular sport, thats pretty much common knowledge whether you wanna admit it or not, every continent in the world plays soccer, and another thing

plus, it shows actual talent; if the ENTIRE world plays Soccer, how valuable is one Soccer player?
your kidding me right? thats one of the most bollocks things ive read in a while.

Soccers not a piss easy sport to play like you lot all seem to think and if it is then how come the US have no star players and the MLS is one of the worst leagues in the world? it takes more skill to play than Baseball and more skill than it requires to be one of the big fat guys blocking in NFL who need an oxygen mask after every 30 second play  :-X

Another thing, Soccer isnt the only recognised sport played in Europe, thats just fucking retarded to even suggest that; Cricket/Rugby/Tennis/Athletic are all bigger sports in Europe than American Football/Baseball/Ice Hockey or Basketball, Americas 4 main sports are only played on a major scale in America, in Europe we got NFL but nobody cares for it, we got Ice Hockey but its not at all popular, shit Rounders (for girls) is more popular than Baseball over here, the most popular out of all your 'main' sports is Basketball

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world because you don't have to go buy pads/helmets/iceskates for it or find a massive space of land to play Baseball, football is easy to pick up and play, the closest thing you've got to that is Basketball, while Soccers cheap to play for a kick in the park at a professional level it's expensive. You mentioned Sammy Sosa playing with crap equipment/conditions, do you realise how many greats equivalent to that there are in Brazil/Argentina? Where they learn to play in slums in shanty towns barefooted etc etc And these are the two most successful countries at National level, your telling me theres no talent in that ???

And lol at you all saying Soccer is boring, American Football/ Basketball have stoppages damn near every other minute, and all i will say about Baseball and Hockey is theres a reason people get drunk when they watch it...o and you know sports betting is allowed in other countries apart from the great America  ::)

And if you google it....

Is that Football sorry Soccer at the top? Theres way too much Pride in this thread, yes i live in England  :-* But im a fan of NFL and NBA, this isnt a hate post but its just retarded whats been said in this thread


great post

how? he showed how many fans each sport has lmao.

The amount of people who play & are fan to a sport does NOT mean it's a good sport.

Lil' Wayne has more fans than anybody else in music but that doesn't mean his music is good. :stupid:

Theres way too much Pride in this thread.

 :-\ i felt the same...but this thread has been retarded on an elano level for his part...


so far its a fact football/soccer is boring and this is what makes it worse than every american sport(no national pride in that sentiment  ::) )


yet when pointed out that 3.5billion fans watch it its popularity is irrelevant


3.5billion enjoy being bored then i suppose oh mis-guided rest of the world when will we learn ::)


just say you dont see the hype and keep it moving...american football is boring to me but more power to anyone that does watch it

^3.5 billion, but it's a misleading statistic.

you count Americans, but ask the Americans who said their fans of Soccer their favorite sport & they wouldn't say Soccer.

i have freinds who play Soccer, but their favorite sport is something else.

not to mention that Football & Baseball aren't allowed to have European fans because they elect not to give it a try & play it.

whatever, no reason for this thread to go on much longer; no statistic is going to get me to think differently & apparantly my arguments are "retarded" or just the opposite of Soccer fans, meaning their "retarded", right? ::)

let's just agree to disagree & move on. 8)

I used to play field hockey when I was younger, and I can see the appeal of ice hockey. But 'soccer' allows for much more skillful and artistic expression than any other sport, which is why it's number one.

As much as I dislike field hockey players and I like soccer I don't think I agree with you. In 1996 years ago they compared the fitness of 15 players of the Dutch field hockey team and the fitness of the players of the Dutch soccer team. The results:
1-14 - Field hockey players
15 - Frank de Boer
16 - Field hockey goalie
17-30 - All other soccer players




On that note, it's surprising how cricket hasn't taken off in the US but that's probably cos it's played by Eurofags.

Do you think there's anyone in Europe outside of the U.K. who understands even a tiny bit of the rules of cricket?

i see plenty of Cricket games going on; don't forget America has every last culture in it.

at parks with fields i see a fair share of Indians playing Cricket; i don't know if they have their own version or whatever, but they play it & appear to take it HELLA serious.

I simply pointed out that its more popular which was the argument at the time, theres no 'best' sport because every cultures different but my point was that soccer is the most played/supported sport in the world while you were saying that its only popular in europe and worse than any american sports...

but w/e i cba to go on and on, so like you said lets agree to disagree 8)

BTW Cricket is the most popular sport in india/pakistan, its indias national sport if i remember correctly, its also huge in australia even bigger than it is in england
