Got about 5 minutes out of me.The boring passing back and forth nearly put me to sleep.How guys kicking a ball to eachother nonstop is exciting is way beyond me.But that annoying noise with those fucking instruments was hilariously awkward.At first I was like what the fuck is that?And the commentator was HORRIBLE I could hear him breathing into the microphone evey few seconds deeply.

Which game was it?
Most games have been horrible so far. Kicking a ball to each other could be exciting. But unfortunately there are many teams who have no offensive skills at all, and even worse is that nearly all teams play with only one real striker. I hope Ivory Coast vs Portugal 'll be a quality match.
PS: I don't get how people can be excited about baseball. And most Hockey matches I've seen have been pretty boring too. But I don't start threads about it.
Enjoy your Hockey/ American football game or whatever and stop hatin' :sleep:
-
its more exciting if your nations actually participating ;D
but on the real most of the group section isnt up to much it will be better in the knockouts more tension
the champions league is probably a better spectacle
saying that thought argentina nigeria was a cracking game even though it ended 1-0...Messi should have had a hat trick
-
What is so hard to understand that in every sport there will be boring games and exciting games? Not every movie you see is exciting, not every book you read is worth it, not every tv show you watch is amazing, not every baseball game is exciting (some people love 10-9 type of games while others love 1-0 type of games), not every basketball game is exciting...the list goes fucking on and on.
-
Well the World Cup is whack so far. That's just the truth. Any World Cup in which Germany is playing the by far most attractive football is in big trouble.
Plus the Goalkeepers have been TERRRIIIIBLE

How big of a factor is this, Bundesliga has been playing with the world cup ball since Februrary?

I don't know. But it sure helps. Then again I don't see why niggas are complaining, they had every right to introduce the ball to whatever league they are playing in, didn't they? It's not like the Bundesliga had an exclusive deal with this ball.
Also, Ribery wasn't great in his first game either :D
I've played with this ball too... didn't notice anything too crazy about it, but then again, I'm far from being a pro

8) fuck watching a 0-0 tie

This can't be an excuse. It just happened that Germany was on fire while the Aussies were horrible. Most teams play like shit because they look tired and risk nothing (or who just simply suck) I guess the Vuvuzelas are a bigger factor because concentration is def. a problem.
-
Any time there is a new ball the players use that as an excuse for any mistake.
Im pretty sure if they didnt tell the players it was a new ball and left the ball as the same outer design the players wouldnt even realise it was new.
At the start they were talking as if they could score from anywhere with this new ball, now they cant hit the target because of it. They need to make there minds up !

ah ah WHERE'S YOUR NATIONAL TEAM ? :D :loser:

i enjoyed watching todays portugal ivory coast game despite the 0-0

am i the only 1 them horns do not bother at all?...are you man watchin it on surround sound or something...just sounds like your standard background noise to me can imagine it bein more irritating in the actual stadiums tho obviously
-
i watched a little bit of the USA/England game a few days ago, i couldn't watch it all lol.
& those instruments have got to go; might as well watch it on mute.

ya'll dont understand futbol, if u cant understand there is NO way u will ever find it exciting, even if the score is 6-5

Whats so hard to understand?men kick a ball up and down a field and try to kick the ball into a net.That isnt rocket science.

LOL, for real.
It's a sport built off of national pride; if you admitted that you're #1 sport was boring, you'd look like a dick.
Therefore, you're obviously going to defend it to death.

I had a blast watching Spain vs Switzerland. A great tale of an underdog striking first and then holding on for the win at the end despite Spain coming so very close.

I can actually watch soccer during the world cup. I cant say I would watch every game, but certain matchups are interesting. I mostly like watchin some of the teams from South America, or even Africa. They seem more exciting. Watching the Germans for example...is like watching robots.

So did you actually watch Germany last week, or are you just dropping a cliché? It's widely acknowledged that Germany was the most attractive team of the first round... which is saying a lot, as nobody likes us.
Damn I really want to play USA in the 16s and show yall niggas what's up

Some of you guys are so easy to wind up, lol.

I will be honest, I havent watched Germany this World Cup. Its what I have always seen from Germany...and they are usually the butt of that joke. You gotta remember, here in S.D. there are a lot of Brazilians...and they tend to make fun of teams like Germany. I never said they were a bad team. Just can be boring to watch at times.

u have no comeback, u guys cant grasp the science behind soccer and the passes, how they push up the ball, the tactics, etc....what do u want me to tell u? its not something i can just type up, i have to sit thru a game and explain.
just think of this this way, is it easier to throw a ball shaped like a bullet (aerodynamic) with your hands OR pass a round ball (harder to control) with your feet AND catch it with ur feet??
people get over excited when a quarter back sends a 20yard pass, u hear OOO AND AAAAHHH.... ::) well in soccer its done many times over and over and guess what the game doesnt stop for 15min so they review an inch of where it was stopped...

lol the QB position is far more cerebral and I would say passing the football is harder. Considering the level of athletes who are defending the WR's the QB really typically only has inches for the ball to hit its target and be caught (where as in soccer you can pass to a teammate and they do not have to catch it...a lot of times you are simply leading them with the ball). Not to mention 250-300 lb beasts rushing in on him to crush him if they can. Oh, and they are typically well over 6 feet tall...meaning that a QB isnt simply throwing a football to another player. He is avoiding being tackled, standing behind an offensive line with defensive linemen with their hands in the air who are creating a wall blocking his vision, having to throw over the top of them or through a passing lane, with really only a few targets to throw to, and typically with about 3 second or so to make a decision.
Dont simply say that people dont understand soccer because they think its boring lol. Thats a pretty juvenile answer. Explain how it is SO complicated. Again, I can appreciate the sport. But dont make it something its not. You say others cant grasp the science behind soccer...but you cant even explain it lol
-
Honestly, I tried playing Soccer with my freinds & I wasn't that bad because I was just faster than everybody else on the field & I'm pretty athletic & have control of my body; it wasn't "difficult".
I tried QBing, it's easily the hardest thing to do & I play Football all the time lol.
I can almost guarentee that if you made every Soccer player try to QB & every QB try to play Soccer, the QB's would be decent Soccer players because it doesn't take a moron whose athletic to kick a ball; but the Soccer players couldn't throw a spiral more than five feet; fuck yards, FEET. ;)

i would LOVE to see that.....matter of fact i would love to see the best and fastest most athletic football player to last 30min. of a soccer game, he'd be out of breath by min. 5

i dont get mad, this is actually funny, im showing this thread to my friends and we're all busting up laughing on how dumb some americans are
u guys have NO clue about this game, dont even watch it and talk about it like u know...atleast we watch NFL, MLB and them and know who each team and players are....u cant even speak on soccer

That sounds stupid. They are completely different sports and the athletes train their bodies according to their sports. Soccer players train their bodies for endurance...to be able to run for long periods of time. Football players train their bodies for shorter bursts at full speed, and a lot of strength training as well. Its like saying that a long distance runner is more athletic then a sprinter because a sprinter would get more winded running long distances. Retarded. Take the most athletic Soccer player you can think of (or any sport) and have them go Box. Even without getting his, they would be winded by round 3.

Well first Im not american and second its quite evident you talk out of your ass in regards to other sports as you have zero knowledge of the games.Dont get all crybaby because soccer is a simple sport and not complicated.Its just what it is.You cant even deny it thats why youve resorted to talking about everything BUT.

only fags watch soccer...
soccer is only cool to play and thats it

i find being bombarded with adverts every 5mins to the extent you forget that there's an actual game being played boring. But hey whatever floats people's boats.
-
It's a bit unfair to call it a simple sport, especially in this era of tactics and game changing players that have come around the last decade. You can really only tell during corner kicks of diagonal free kicks, but on a deeper level it takes being a fairly big fan to know what's up. NFL is full of strategy, because it's a series of set plays. Imagine football where it's a series of corner kicks lol.

Comparatively speaking, boxing isnt that difficult, wrestling on the other hand will whoop any athletes ass. More and more football teams are incorporating MMA training during the offseason. You may not like the sport of MMA but the training thats involved is brutal.

but it is a simple sport.If someone first sits down and watches itm and doesnt know whats happening thats pretty much all you have to say for someone to watch it.theirs a few rules here and there youd have to say but thats pretty much it.they dont need to know any stragedy involved.They dont need to know every single scheme presented.Saying you just dont get it whens its a simple sport is just hilariously ignorant.Its like someone watching basketball,the object is to get the ball through the hoop.Thats the jist of it.They dont need to know how every single play works for someone to watch it.Saying you need to know how offensive plays work to enjoy basketball is just retarded.or saying you need to understand exactly how a nfl playbook works in order to enjoy watching it.its just plain dumb.

^yeah, really.
you're rooting for a team & the team's success; not how they get it done, just if they get it done.

I've never said that you need to know the plays or strategies to understand and like the sport. If you break down the object in every sport, it's all simple isn't it? I guess you're just talking about the objectives and I was referring more to strategy/formation/tactics/etc used.
-

Not all the time. In the World Cup, I'm only really rooting for Mexico, U.S., and Spain (I got them in a draw, so money reasons here lol). And I'm pretty sure we've all watched sports games where we're just watching to enjoy the game?

My comment was towards iran iz gangsta even I thought you were backing up what he was saying.I gave him the objective of the sport and he lauhged it off saying thats not the point of soccer LOL.Your the more level headed fan.Iran is just an idiot,one post hes saying he knows eveyrthing about the other sports then the next post hes clearly showing he knows nothing about the nfl.

Yeah, but even though you personally don't care sometimes, something inside of everybody forces you to want one team to win.
Like I could turn on a Dodgers/Giants game to watch a Kershaw/Lincecum match-up & I could care less who wins honestly, I just want to see some great pitching; but something indescribable inside would make me want to see the Giants win the game or vice-versa; just an example.

Anybody seen the screw job highlight that happened to the usa? I don't give 2 shits about soccer but that's just another reason 2 hate it & boycott it. 3 usa players being held on their 3rd goal but a penalty was callled on the usa instead of the other team :o >:( I'm not sure if holding is legal in soccer. And 1 of the main reasons to boycott soccer will be shown on tuesday 30 for 30. The 2 escobars, tragedy for 1 of them :(
It had 2 do with usa's win in 1994 where colombia players were under severe pressure to win, as in win or else someone might get murdered. Sadly Andres Escobar accidentally kicked the ball into his own team's net & the usa won. Days later in colombia a group of people went up to him & chanted,'THANKS FOR THE AUTO GOAL!' & shot him dead, chanting 'GOAL' every time they shot him. I take football very seriously but not to this extreme. Drug dealers bet on the game, 1 fool bet up to 10 million on the game. I look at it in 2 ways here.
1. If you bet $10million on a soccer game you deserve to lose.
2. If I bet $10million on a game & somebody bothces it up & I lose, ida filled the player full of lead too.
-
Alot of draws at this WC. Some good games though, hoping for better at knockout stage. Englands disappointing.
-
i like soccer i could watch like 3 games straight and wont feel bothered at all if all 3 games no one scores or if they all end in ties like 1-1, 2-2, etc. idk maybe cuz im latino and its in my DNA to like it idk soccer aint boring tho
-
Denmark vs Cameroon was the first decent game of this WC.
-

Nah, they were some other decent games. Danemark- Cameroon had some highlights, but it was mostly because of horrible errors.
But there haven't been any really breathtaking games so far, but you can expect such games in the knockout games anyway.

Heres what I will give the World Cup. The National Pride that comes along with the event is cool. Plus the fact that you get the feeling there are a lot of different teams that could ACTUALLY win it. Basketball in the Olympics is kind of the same, but you dont really feel that there are that many teams that can win (really just the U.S.). Not to mention...the Olympics are pretty fuckin gay. The Winter Olympics are more gay...but yeah.

Yeah that's the best thing about the world cup. There participate many weak teams, and many argue that the Eupean cup with 16 teams offers more quality (which is true in some way), but I like it that there are 32 teams from all over the world and I can enjoy the exotic teams as well.

Ive heard that some of those soccer leagues the play is more exciting than the World Cup play. It makes sense though. The World Cup is such a big event, Im sure teams and players are a little more conservative with their play...and play NOT to lose at times.

Denmark vs Cameroon was the first decent game of this WC.
I disagree, that was just some sloppy ass defense. Cameroon just gave away their left side during the match and Denmark just kept on giving away the ball. I prefer a tight 0-0 match than this.

Heres what I will give the World Cup. The National Pride that comes along with the event is cool. Plus the fact that you get the feeling there are a lot of different teams that could ACTUALLY win it. Basketball in the Olympics is kind of the same, but you dont really feel that there are that many teams that can win (really just the U.S.). Not to mention...the Olympics are pretty fuckin gay. The Winter Olympics are more gay...but yeah.
Yeah that's the best thing about the world cup. There participate many weak teams, and many argue that the Eupean cup with 16 teams offers more quality (which is true in some way), but I like it that there are 32 teams from all over the world and I can enjoy the exotic teams as well.

Also youve got to take into consideration players train all season with their teams so their comfortable with the style and formation
you get to spend about 6-8 weeks with the national team so the manager cant get the team as well drilled as they would at club level
