    yeah i realise, but football is GLOBAL. our national players get nowhere playing football at home, so where do most of them go to play to pick up contracts? America! why? because MANY players playing in the MLS have scored HUGE contracts in europe & all over the world. world football is right on your doorstep!

    baseball - fat bastards in pyjamas who grab their groins a lot to check if they still have nuts, then they spit a lot, probably from checking each others nuts with their mouths prior ro taking the field. then they all sit in their pyjamas and watch 1 guy hit a fucking ball. Even Helen Keller could hit a fucking baseball.


    US football - overpaid fat blokes who wear enough padding to soak up a blue whale's period. The have 9.2 gagillion stoppages in which various colours of flags are thrown around the pitch. All teams have about 400 backroom staff and the only guys who uses his 'foot' in 'football' is the kicker who is normally a soccer reject from Wisconsin who couldnt make it into soccer. He is only used about 4 times in a match and other than that he practices kicking... which apart from breathing is the worlds easiest thing to do. "so i have to kick this ball, a ball which is teed up for me, in a straight line into goals that are so large they resemble Goliath's stilts?... how easy is that!!"

    Basketball - only people who are 6 foot 10 or over can play. ergo its shit. At least its fast and furious, which is something, but hardly anyone can make it pro as you need genetics on your side... although Teenwolf was pretty awesome i grant thee...


    Soccer - the beautiful game. anyone can play, all you need is a ball and some clothes to make goalposts ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    You've just stolen my post. I need to say no more. Mind you I do love it when Americans start talking about football (Soccer). It's like watching a 2 year old trying to ride a bike.

    Then when Europeans start talking about baseball it's like watching a 2 year old argue with a 2 year old.

    Ok. I'll say it....

    Anyways. Soccer is my favorite sport and Baseball is my second favorite. So apparently I am the most boring human alive!

    It's called slang, dude. Look at urbandictionary.com... here's the second definition...

    2. hack
    a person who is a professional at doing some sort of service, but does crappy work.

    example- man, the sport of soccer is full of hacks.


    Anyway, the bottom line is soccer is a beat sport. It's proven over and over in America. The best atheletes in America, certainly do not go into soccer. People who are tiny (both in frame, stature and intellect) do. That's all.

    That said, I think it's great for 4 year olds. That's why it's so popular for kids in America.

    and by contrast only fat incestuous dullards who like to wear helmets go into US sports professionally...

    Hey, America would be awesome at Sumo. :)

    you mean thats their fucking hair???? who would have hair like that? ;)


    i once read that sumo wrestlers have a wee apprentice guy who wipes the sumo guys bum after he does a plop... not out of laziness but that the sumo guys are so fat they cant do it themselves.


    anyway, this argument will always go on and on and on.. but at least with soccer we have a genuine WORLD cup... not like baseball... World Series yet only like Toronto are from another country?!?!? :confused: same with US football..

    Japan are world Sumo champs... but if america entered it would win... pick 16 random people from the burger line at Disney and there's your team!!

    and that's the point. Just go out and watch the poor children in the favellas, in ghettos,... they love the game.
    Football is universal (exept. US... like a lot of stuff but hey you got the greatest Rock band of the world ;)) and that's the beauty of it.
    I bet you could travell around the world with a ball and make a lots of friends just because you'll kick some games with strangers.
    it's great.

    if the states would seen themselves as a part of the world and not as the leader they'd play "soccer". It's just a question of image. :D

    You'll never understand what it is to be a Football fan because you don't feel the same spirit as football fans do. For the most off us football is a big part in our life.
    It's like the fans in american stadium who wear cheese heads- a huge finger, the spice girls during breaks, advertissment every 10 minutes... , everything is artificial, plastic, it's just a game.
    The only ones in your country who know what it is to be a fan are the latins.

    At least our game actually places an emphasis on the foot, rather than having a woefully misrepresentative name.

    Enjoy your National Handball-but-sometimes-with-foot League...

    To be fair to you, MLS is the worst thing ever. You've hardly been given the best impression of the game. It's no wonder you're deluded and borderline insane :)
