every1 that bitches about how soccer is not popular in america, if soccer ever did catch on big time yall would bitch about how we stole soccer from yall.
-
LOL, good question.
-
Football has been played worldwide for over a hundred years, it belongs to everyone who plays/watches/supports it, whoever they are, wherever they are, thats part of the glory of the sport IMO.
-
I wouldent get angry that you stole it from us I am just already pretty angry at the shite names you have for your teams.
-
No because you can't steal it from anyone
It doesn't belong to 'us'
It belongs to the whole World
Thus when we have a World Cup we have teams from every continent - Australasia will get a place in the next one.
Unlike 'World Series' consisting of 14 US teams and 2 Canadian teams.
So I would be happy that it gets love in the States
BTW the US national team is now rated in the latest FIFA rankings as 8th in the World.
-
Yer they done U.S.A proud at the world cup, its a great spot to be in 8th. Fantastic.
-
die soccer die

tha world series does not consist of 14 teams an 2 canadian teams. it consist of one team from tha american league an one team from tha national league. there is a total of 30 teams total. from each league 4 teams make tha playoff. they have a best of 5 game series. tha winners move on 2 play each other in a 7 game series in order to determine which team represents there league in tha world series. than in tha world series its a 7 game series
-
ok lol
I'm right though
The teams that compete for the World Series are 28 US teams and 2 Canadian teams
That's the World is it?
-
OMG I am sick of this argument. This is how it is
Americans hate soccer and the rest of the world hates them for it. Nothing new.
Oh and LONG LIVE THE ENGLISH MEASURMENT SYSTEM....damn meters
There now discuss :D
-
Hey yo Sik
If you wanna still us our measurement system spell our words right
M - E - T - R - E - S
stupid Americans
American doesn't hate soccer
It is the 2nd most popular sport to play after basketball lol
But not to watch
So America doesn't hate it
-
all the kids that play at my school are of 100% Latino or Euro decent..The foriegn exchange kids from UK are on the team..What a bunch of pussys if i ever saw some.
-
What a fucking dumbass
They get on the team if they're good players
I couldn't give a fuck how 'hard' or 'tough' sportsmen are as long as they're good at they're sport
All white Americans are of Euro descent............right - yes
-
What a bunch of pussys if i ever saw some.
lmao

id like to see this statistic where it says soccer is 2nd most popular 2 play. also, all my lil brothers friends played soccer up untill tha age of 8. in high school no1 gave a fuck about tha soccer team
-
the statistic was for kids under 13 sorry i forgot to say that
It's still impressive though
-

cuz it is a cheap sport to play
-
and thats the beauty of it, thats why it is so popular, because all you need is something to kick
Pele gained his skills as a poverty stricken kid playing barefoot with oranges and apples
-
i shouldn't of worded it like that. i meant like kids straigh from like portugal,spain,england
-
yeah... but our povern kids like basketball and football. Basketball has many povern kids that grow to be soccar player, football is cheap to play 'cause the schools play for all the equipment. That way poor kids can play, and since basketball and football are sports of explossion speed, then this allows black, who supposibly have fast twich leg muscles to make them fast, this allows them to go at their explossion speed and preform better than anyone, working them out of poverty. Common story in both sports. Funny that soccar in the U.S. though is considered a suburban thing to do, though it is cheap to play. I do love though how in Minnesota, they have the highest rate of East African immegrants, and they battle the Mexicans immagrants every Sunday to see who's better, Africans or Latins...LOL. Poor people trying to work up to MLS, hey, the L.A. Galaxy isn't that bad, as people go to the games, and they play Mexican teams all the time, visit Mexico City, beat the Chivas. If I'd play soccar, I'd be happy with that.

how you can say FOOTBALL (soccer to you americans) is boring i cant understand ???. football is a non stop game palyed at a high pace, with speed , skill and strength for 90 minutes. talking of boring sports, american football stops and starts ALL the time, its shite. youll just be gettin in to it and it will stop. now thats boring. same with basketball with all that time out shit. and baseball is the most boring sport of them all. its just ssssooo slow.
thats why these sports are mainly played in america cause your the only people who find these sports entertaining, while football is played worldwide.

What cracks me up is people coming into threads like these complaining about how peeps hate on soccer, then as a defense begin bagging on other sports. Like that proves a point. Thing is, even though I personally am not a soccer fan, it is obviously a good sport. millions and millions of people can't be all wrong. But who cares? Soccer, or Basketball, or American football doesn't have to appeal to everyone. Enjoy what you enjoy, and let everyone else like thier shit too. Damn.

soccer here , soccer there it doesnt matter as long as its soccer aka football in european terms

For real man, y'all should worry about cha own because we aren't crying over you guys not playing our sports.
And that "the rest of the world plays it" is a load of shit. If you guys went into a prison shower room and spread your asscheeks wide open waiting for an invitation does that mean I have to?......Wait....bad 'ANAL'ogy...anyways, does that mean we have to?
