I always hated the argument of "I'd like to see an (insert various sport here) play soccer." It's not a real argument. It could easily be said for anything. Golf, basketball, tennis, whatever.

I won't argue that it takes a tremendous amount of talent, finesse, and toughness to play soccer. And I'll never make fun of anyone who plays any sport; because I know how difficult it is to get to a competitive level at any sport. However, I will say that soccer fans are the most vocal fans I've ever met. Any criticism, or even "meh" attitude, when it comes to their sport is met with confrontation and "you don't get it because you don't know what you're looking at."

I think soccer gets a bad rep for the most part. Much of it has to do with all the flopping and feigning of injuries that is so prevalent. Part of it has to do with it being such a low-scoring affair (and the fact that it can end in a tie) after both teams put forth so much effort. Much of the time, what's to show for it? A 0-0 tie.

Regardless, I have the utmost respect for soccer players. It's a difficult game to play. I just wish soccer fans wouldn't get so defensive when someone says, "I don't like it."

People don't say they "don't like it" they go on and on with baseless stupid shit about soccer.

I have to say I pretty much disagree with your entire post. It has been my experience the anti soccer crowd goes a lot more out of their way than the pro soccer crowd. Just look at this thread...the soccer crowd talks about how they like the game and why. Whereas the other side just makes up gay shit, and posts stupid pictures.

Well, your experiences have been different than mine. I have a couple of friends that just love soccer. I don't hate it, I'm just kind of "whatever" about it. And they get all pissy when I don't get excited like they do.

It's the same way on another message board I frequent. There are tons of soccer posts that kind of get irritating to have to weed through.

You play to win the game, not a tie. That's what's great about baseball, no ties! No sport should end in a tie. Play til you win or die trying!

Not really, it's a point based system in regular season (group stages of tournaments) as opposed to winning percentage (like all U.S. team based sports). It's not like a tie doesn't achieve anything. There are no ties in knock out stages, though.

I don't like soccer and I never have. Growing up, I was pretty much forced to play. But, I played goal keeper. That was easy. I would just verbally harass the other team to the point that they would kick the ball right at me in order to try to hurt me.

I would like it if the announcers the English (english Us. Or UK) would do a better job giving me a feeling of if something or important. I remember someone in a world cup getting a red card and it was like the teams best player out for the game + 1 and they were like "for shame" for so and so and didn't mention it again. The people falling down suck, I don't have much beef with the actual game. I like the video games (fifa EA sports has great announcers) I would also like to have more stats or something I can grasp. I guess they may have (tackle stats?) just hard to for a stat head like me to have a tournament and the leading scorer have 2 goals and assist and have that be a "legendary preformance"

Eh, the only sports I truly care to watch are football and college basketball. Soccer and ice-soccer(hockey) just don't captivate me; and never probably will. Not to say soccer players aren't tremendous athletes, I just can't appreciate the offensive dynamic of the game.

Most Americans that I know, agree with Frazod. Its boring, tedius and no one EVER scores. Has nothing to do with the contact sport. There is contact in Soccer just as much so as basketball.

It would be incredible if the US was a soccer nation...so many cities to have teams and a lot of diversity amongst people. It's great over in Europe..the system is so well interwoven, kids begin playing for their hometown clubs against neighboring towns and villages since they are all so close together. Netherlands, which is a tenth the size of California, pumps out tenfolds more world class talented players than Russia, twice the size of USA. Now that's a dedicated soccer nation.

Yeah, the Dutch are definitely my favorite. They always have insane talent to the point of being filthy, but they're the biggest effing chokers in the world and it pisses me off.

And you bring up a very valid point, the U.S. produces the best athletes in the world but it won't reach the skill levels of European/South American teams due to the complete lack of youth academies. By the time some kid is in college, he'd have reached his plateau of skill gaining ability. European clubs, on the other hand, get their hands on promising little kids pretty much as soon at they learn how to run, lol.
