Why we feel sorry for Creighton.

Ill only watch Soccer if its the World Cup.

Outside of that ill pass..

There are some league teams that have better lineups top to bottom than the best national teams. Watching a couple of uber squads go toe to toe in say a champions league game is really something. Watching Barcelona take on say a chelsea for example or a game of that magnitude is pretty awsome. Often times more entertaining than world cup games. But to each their own. And of course there are always rivalries. Watching rangers and cletic play is like the yanks and the sox. Sometimes its more than the quality of the players. Watching a good game at any level or scale is still a good game and I dont care if your talking about soccer or football, pop warner or the pros. Well at least thats how i see it... But i love sport for sport.

Chelsea? Pfft. Arsenal, all the way. Fabregas is only a young pup but he can weave magic.

hotel paper, those people that say soccer sucks will never give a reason why. All they can say is that it sucks. But that's alright, everybody has a right to their own opinion.

Although I can appreciate the skill high level soccer players display, the game is weak. I've never seen such a sport where every 5 minutes a player takes a dive and fakes an injury like these idiots:

Throw in the lunatic fans that fight and kill other fans, governments and other idiotic fans assasinate players that miss penalty shots or give up a game winning goal, and the unbearable pace of the game - I'd rather watch paint dry.

Anybody can kick a round bouncy ball through a set of goal posts, heck, my 15 month old already does that. But it takes real athletic ability to hit a 95mph fastball, catch and run with a ball with 11 other guys wanting to kill you, dribble with eyes up and shoot a ball into a small round hoop 10 feet in the air. Now that's skill.

Soccer is boring and yes, I tried to give it a shot when the World Cup was in the U.S in the 90's. But alas, the only entertainment I derive from the game is watching the girly men fall down and act like their being killed when they got tripped. Gimme a break!

LOL at how a Hate Creighton thread turned into a Hate Soccer thread.

They're both comparable though. They both do suck.

^maybe you should express your reasons why instead of listing some crappy link on why futbol sucks

[notquiteBWing]

nice comments coldblooded! that was some pretty good stuff.

they answer to the pope


btw. soccer is pretty cool. but i can understand anyone hating it. it takes a lot of talent though.

[CharlieHog]

There are sports I choose not to watch (tennis, and horse racing, for example) but I don't go on and on about how much I hate those sports.

The fact that soccer draws so much hate from some people is really funny and honestly makes me like it more. I hope it gets more and more popular in the US.

David Beckham's trying to do that. Even though, he's too old to be effective anymore on the pitch, I'm kinda glad he's here

[t7017s]

yeah becks isnt what he used to be. hes got old legs. But he can still curve a ball onto a penny from about 60 yards. You cant ask for a better guy to deliver the ball to the forwards. He was always over rated though. He was never much more than a good leg. But he delivers the ball about as well as anyone.

Swastikas are seen during the Italian Serie A soccer match between Lazio and Livorno in Rome. With the World Cup starting this month, an anti-racism group in Germany is so concerned that it has warned non-white visitors to avoid rural areas outside Berlin.
