Soccer vs Football debate will never come to an end because of how myopic football fans are.

Everyone raved about how much better the "pitch" was this year. If that was good, I'd hate to see bad. The Pats and Bucs were slipping around out there like they were pudding-wrestling strippers... and that was with their longer cleats on.

And they can say what they will about "American football", but soccer is the most boring f**king game I've ever seen. A bunch of guys kicking a ball around on a giant field for an hour, while the crowd screams lustily for no reason. Occasionally one of them will kick another player, resulting in that player flopping like they'd been shot with a high-powered rifle, and the ref pulling out a colored card. A few boring-ass hours later, it ends, maybe 1-0, maybe 2-1. Thrilling. It's like hockey, without the fights to entertain you.

Dumb

I love both Football and Soccer...very different sports. Different viewing experience. Football is what I played and grew up with, I will always love it the most. But Soccer these past 10 years has really grown on me. Very fun to watch, I would take it over baseball any day of the week.

Are you cereal Zach? Soccer has to be one of the most boring sports to watch. On TV at least. Guys running back and forth for 90 minutes to eventually end up with one team winning 1-0. I've tried.. I have tried, but I always end up falling asleep.

Eh - you dont follow with passion, you dont have a team you root for that you love, I love my chiefs that much as well, i feel the same passion for my soccer team (Boca Juniors and my national team Argentina)...

Its a culture, you can learn it, but you are born with it really... same way people live breath college/pro football - its that way in other countries but for soccer...

I used to listen to games on the radio as not all games are televised and i kid you not, my adrenaline would be so high during those 90 min like no other...

By the way, if you ever watched a , english premier, championship german 1st, 2nd division games... you would see how hard those f'ers hit.... they take people out, and fouls are rarely called...

I totally disagree. No biggie though, won't be able to convince anyone otherwise.
