The real kicker is when haters try to argue that soccer players are not that much better conditioned athletes than football or baseball players. I have to mention to them that BOTH football and baseball players spend at least half the game ON THE BENCH or at least on the sidelines or dugout. Whereas, in soccer the majority play 90 minutes and sometimes 120.

Soccer is boring because there's not much scoring......ever

Same reason why hockey sucks on TV...except at least that's at a faster pace and is a lot more physical.

I've always said though that soccer players are the some of the most athletic well conditioned athletes in the world. Doesn't mean shit though when the sport itself is garbage.
