In this thread we think Soccer is boring
 

The World Cup happens every 4 years because that's how often someone scores, soccer sucks ass and is the most boring sport in the world to watch. For years now they've been trying to cram soccer down our throats trying to convince us it's the next big thing, but it never will be, Americans stop playing soccer in Elementary school and move onto more complex adult sports.

:1orglaugh

Best I hate soccer quote ever. :thumbsup

I was here...

you've obviously never watch curling...

Vamos Uruguay!!

Soccer is amazing! Best sport ever!

if they made the field smaller, then it would not only force more action, but you could seat even more people in the stadium.

Yeah, like rounders :1orglaugh

I don't give a shit about football. I'm looking forward to nice empty roads while all the twats are busy watching it.

I will admin I'm proud to be a non-soccer watching American.

Fuck the big field and fuck the metric system (unless you're buying coke).

I don't waste my time watching sports.
It's someoneelses game, all you do is sitting on the couch eat popcorn & drink beer...

Don't you love the 2 n half hours of tv commercials during a American football game?! Now, thats fucking booooooring!

Like NASCAR and Bowling.

I would like to see you run for 90 minutes.

Football aka soccer is the most popular sport in the world.

That's because it's cheap to play.


.

Islam is the most popular religion in the world and rice is the most popular food -- I'll stick with Jesus and apple pie, motherfucker.

So as ping pong or basketball. How come its not anywhere near?

You can eat turd burgers for all I care, it won;t change a thing for the rest of us, bitch.

Not until we bomb the shit out of your soccer field with Predator drones.

Obviously many people are passionate about it, especially Europeans

We as in who? "you and someone else". STFU boardie bitch, you aren?t bombing anyone besides roaches in your rundown mobile home .

He likes NASCAR. Talking about excitement. :1orglaugh

Love playing. Hate watching.

Well maybe more Europeans would like NASCAR if gas wasn't $14 a liter over there.

In this thread other people think the hand egg ball game played in America is just plain....

i'm down with this

Soccer is like watching grass grow. lol

what? you want to stick that motherfucker jesus with an apple pie?:1orglaugh

Try to excite a European about baseball first

Don't blaspheme - this is GFY, not a locker room!

please don't hate on what you can't understand. It's embarrasing

maybe more Europeans would like NASCAR if they were drooling redneck morons.

A bunch of monobrows in polyester shirts kick a ball back and forth, only one guy can use his hands.

How complicated is it?

Cricket must come quite close.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

Btw. here's the reason why everyone in Europe loves soccer - every single boy out here played it

I've spent thousands of hours playing it and I love playing that, in this case of course I don't mind watching the pros neither, although I don't watch football for the past 8 years much, unless I really have no other way to spend two hours of time

yay first game idiot fans make the game unwatchable with the volume up with annoying nonstop buzzing sound..
and it ends in a draw....
exciting..

.. and got to have sex with their first cousins right after.

Soccer is one of those sports that is fun to play but boring as hell to watch. Come to think of it, that describes all sports!

thats right the last thing you want to do on GFY is be blasphemous:1orglaugh


alright i see what you're doing...pretty good, had me going:winkwink:

Why? Cricket is nothing outside of ex-british colonies.

Fuel price isn't really anything to do with whether people like motorsport plus I can only think of 1 oval track designed for it in the UK.

Say's someone in an ex-british colony :1orglaugh

:thumbsup

I keep it subtle.

It's footballs simplicity, it's passion and it's global reach that makes it the world sport. Theres nothing complicated about it, it's what makes it so special, it brings together all parts of the world.

Why does a sport have to be complicated?



Why should everything be about money and the more complicated it is the better it is? I don't understand that viewpoint.

I went to see a baseball game in arizona when i was younger and every X minuites there was entertainment as though the baseball game wasn't even the main attraction. It was pretty surreal how I went to see a sports game and there was little sport involved. Don't get me wrong I enoyed it. I loved it, but it wasn't really about the sport.

I'm not here to hate, I love sports and will give anything a go and watch any sport, but saying the world's most popular sport is rubbish is retarded. Your entitled to your opinion, but at least ponder for a while the global reach of football and how no other sport not even comes close. I know this will turn into a stupid thread but I hope I can have a meaningful debate with someone.

N. America?
Is Canada and Mexico in N. America?
I would say USA is the only country in the world.

I don't have the attention span for sports. They're all boring to me. Baseball is incredibly boring. Bunch of guys standing around scratching their nuts. Soccer doesn't interest me enough to even try to watch. I can usually muster 10 - 15 minutes for football. Basketball is just a waste of television air time.

I love how this is the de facto answer to explain its popularity. You give no credit to the fact that everyone LOVES playing it. The fact that you need instant gratification and an advert every 3 minutes just shows that you don't have any patience, nothing more.

Frankly I'm very happy US fans don't like football. You're shit at it anyway. Stick to bowling and Nascar, it suits you more.

The rest of the 4 billion watching the world cup will enjoy it without you.

/end of story, move along.

I can appreciate that it's highly, highly popular worldwide.. like formula 1 racing.. but man it's hard for me personally to get into. Really nothing more complicated than that.
