I think it also depends on what kind of teams you watch, that make it much more enjoyable. I spent a few years in Europe in my teens and got more into soccer and played a bit... but then in my late 20's I spent 2 or 3 years travelling pretty extensively to Brazil. Eurpean soccer is pretty good, but soccer in Brazil and Argentina is amazing. If you have never been in Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, wich holds 100,000+ crazy Brazilian soccer fans, then you dont know what fun is! I watched a few games in that stadium and it was INTENSE! My wife is of Argentinian decent (her grandparents moved there from Italy back around WWII I believe) so soccer is big in our house... but I'm still a big American football fan as well. Brazilian and Argentinian soccer is like an art form... it's fluid but intense at the same time.

soccer is just stupid, slow and boring. But atleast we did it right.

 

Same type of person who follows (the game of) golf, and plays fantasy baseball.

 

"Using your opposable thumbs" is easy. Most retards can throw/catch a ball.

Controlling, dribbling, catching, and shooting a ball with your feet... THAT takes talent.

Not to mention you need the endurance of a marathon runner.

 

Don't worry though. Soccer is becoming more and more popular every year.

Soccer will soon be one of the top 3 sports in the U.S.

Soccer is gaining ground in America not only because immigration has brought more fans from Soccer loving countries but now we have a whole generation who grew up playing Soccer in school. School districts love it because it's not as equipment intensive as other sports,making it inexpensive to field,and relatively injury free thus not as prone to lawsuits.

well the immigrants can have it. ill stick to football, baseball and hockey.

I remember hearing that when the Cosmos were in their heyday. Even Sylvester Stallone made a soccer movie with Pele. And soccer continued to remain where it is now, distantly behind the major sports. The one thing that may prove this wrong in the long run is what Duppie mentioned, recent immigrants end up becoming a sizable enough group that Soccer catches up to Hockey.

Soooo.....about those girls.

Soccer will never attain the status many had hoped. It is simply not violent enough and at times too boring for American's tastes.

 

The fastest growing sport in the U.S. today is now lacrosse. Whether it dethrones soccer remains to be seen.

The thing is those Immigrants wishing for themselves and in turn their children to assimilate fully into the American experience usually opt for their kids to take up what they consider to be quintessential American sports such as Football and Baseball. All the while glued to their respective cable networks at home watching Soccer,Cricket and Rugby.

Now that is a sport that, while I don't know all the rules that well, appeals to me.

And my nephews all play it, and so do their friends.

I've gone to Philadelphia wings games and have had a blast

Seriously, at least someone has their head on straight. I think this is twice I've asked now, and it WAS promised.

Any Barcelona fans? I'm a huge Barca fan.

I have to get my camera hooked up to my laptop. I'm usually on my iPhone.

You're trying to name all the worst and most boring sports in existence?

Invalid argument. Body painting is not exclusive to soccer.

I love that this thread turned into smack talk.

Tennis would be OK but for the fans. If there is a sport beloved by busybody liberals with superiority complexes, it is tennis.

As for baseball, I can see why someone who wasn't raised playing and watching it wouldn't like it.

Golf is, as Mark Twain put it, "a good walk spoiled".

I cannot watch tennis or golf, just way too boring. Baseball is great once you understand the strategies between players and coaches. Once fall rolls around, football (I mean real US football) takes over.

soccer is an amazing sport; you have to have that culture i guess growing up!

Any Barcelona fans? I'm a huge Barca fan.

 

Nope but im a huge italy fan! the year i got married and month to be exact they won the world cup it was great!

Sooo....about these girls.....
