Televised soccer....the good, the bad, and the ugly

[Avante]

The good...no commercials!!!!!!!!!!!

The bad...cameras too far away from the action

The ugly....if one team ever gets even a 2 point lead the game is over. Nobody comes back.

I gave it my best shot, I saw about 4/5 games and came away thinking.......what a stupid boring ass game. Sure sure it takes skill to kick a ball around like they do but what sport doesn't take skill? I'm sure it's fun to play but like chess more fun to play than watch.

What got me was how they'd talk about the 'stars" but I never saw those "stars" standing out. If they hadn't told you so and so was the "star" you'd never know it.

I have seen my next to last soccer game, yep, will be watching Germany vs ??? Might as well finish this.

Camera is fine if you aren't still using a 1980 Montgomery Wards model console tv..smh tell Judy to let you be man and get an HDTV already

[SnakeBoy]

The good...I have other channels

The bad...it's being televised

The ugly...it's not going to go away

Why are this stupid cartoon talk half pint? When do you ever deal with real life? I own two 42 inch HD Samsungs. And...ya can Zoom, partial zoom, strecth, normal...honest ya can. It doesn't matter, the cameras are too far away in order to get most the field.

Dude, I actually own six tv's, but only two HD.

[TDMVPDPOY]

camera is fine, at least not like nfl...too many stoppages after a game play, makes no fkn sense....at least in rugby nrl/super there is no stoppage after a tackle, u get up start the next play straight away...

how many of those are black and white

[lefty]

Yeah because 3 hours of commercials during an NFL boradcast is much better

Commercials are still more entertaining than soccer :lol

[CavsSuperFan]

Good Morning Avante, You were deeply missed…Yup no intelligent sports talk…Could not help but notice the intense emotions of Brazilians over the loss to Germany…I don’t get it? I was a Los Angeles Rams fan growing up & never felt that bad when Dallas would beat US every time WE played them….

Here is a Blues number even Disco Fans will appreciate…
Call me Willie…

Avante is bitter his precious Black 'bred to play sports' Slave team got it's asses handed by the Master Race. I told you White Europeans are different than the gutless brainwashed to self-hate Whites in America.

Face it, you don't like Soccer because it's the oldest sport on the globe and Blacks still suck at it. Quick, America should come up with another trivial sport for them to excel in.

No stars? Do you need the star to lineup and be handed the ball like in the NFL. Or cuddled to walk up and down the free throw line like in the NBA

Leads difficult to overcome? That's why you need to watch from the very beginning. This isn't the NFL or NBA where you don't have to tune in until the 2nd Half

Over here in the USA we have a ton of teams to choose from as ...our...team. It's pretty obvious that isn't the case in Brazil. So their soccer team is a really really big deal as we saw. I have no doubts it does take a good few days to get back to normal over a soccer game in Brazil. Obviously, all us Americans are bummed for the rest the day, maybe before the next morings coffee then ..our...team losing is forgotten.

There was a real Willie Brown, he hung out with Charley Patton and Son House. He like those two was a big influense on the younger Robert Johnson. Shame that for some reason or another Willie only recored one record, that is unless ya believe he was also Kid Bailey, which he could have been, but that would only give him two records.

Who is considered the greatest soccer player of all time, oh yeah....Pele. So you are wrong as usual.

The facts are that ...master race...never does shit in track and field and if they tried to play a mans sport like American football they'd get their ases handed to them. Hell, girls play soccer.

I did watch 4 games from the beginning to end........had to be woke up numerous times. Ya see once anyone scores 2 goals the game is over or nobody scores at all and we see the oh so exciting....penalty kick, hahaha!!!!!!! Are you kidding me?

Dude, I hate to break it to ya like this but watching a ball kicked around for 90 or so minutes really isn't all that exciting or interesting. Now watching a 220 pound running back break a couple tackles, then out run a 4.4 cornerback is very exciting.

Soccer sucks and only countries where they have little else excell at it.

Seriously Avante…There is no way that a retired, Caucasian factory worker, born and raised in So Cal, could know so much about music, especially the Blues…You work for Rhino Records? Library of Congress? If you PM me the answer, pinky promise I will NEVER tell anyone on this board…:lol

Grew up listening to the white blues singer Hank Williams, then here came Elvis and rock & roll. I was always curious about who influensed them so as a kid I began to educate myself on where it all came from, yep....them blues. 12 big books on the subject plus over a 1000 blues CD's with those liner notes. Heard them all.

6 of the last 7 MVPs in American shitty football were Master Race. Even the sports we don't care about, we dominate.

This is exciting:

There are no white....

sub9.80 100m sprinters
sub19.70 200m sprinters
starting running backs in the NFL
starting cornerbacks n the NFL.
over 29 foot long jumpers
no white sprinters holds any world record

Now the 300 pounders in the NFL. If ya watch football you've noticed there are more athletes out there who can run, jump than there are fat guys. So why ignore that fact?

You ever seen..Gale Sayers, Willie Galimore, Barry Sanders, Shady McCoy...run with a football? Ever see Devin Hester return a kick?

Dude, you ever see this?

Again with this Jeremy Bloom crap.... Bloom played football in both high school and college, he didn't just walk off the slopes and onto an NFL roster.... he also only lasted two years in the NFL, one of them being on the practice squad....

You'd never see a Skier show up on a Champions League roster.

It just shows how almost anyone can make an NFL roster.

Dude, that has gotta be the dumbest statement I've ever read anywhere.

I went to Mt Whitney HS in Visalia Cali. A school that has been playing football for over 100 years. You have any idea how many kids have came and gone on their football teams in that time? Yet the school has only three players make it to the NFL. Strange that they played on the same team, yep. won valley.

Lupe Sanchez
Don Mosebar
Michael Young

There are tons of HS around here, I can name about a dozen who made NFL rosters. Thousands and thousands and thousands who never came close to playing at that level.

Dude, do you know anything at all about reality?

I bet less than 5 % of all college players make NFL rosters.

Way to once again ignore the fact that he grew up playing football....

[Avante]

I can't believe anyone with even half a brain could not get this. When kids don't have anything else but soccer....guess what?
