    Soccer is already more popular in America than hockey. More people watched the Copa than the Stanley Cup finals.
    Remove all the illegals from the ratings and there's no way poorball beat the Stanley Cup.

    No.

    Game 6 drew 5.4 million viewers.

    The Copa Final drew 2.5 million viewers on English language TV, and 1.6 million on Univision.

    And it was a game featuring arguably the biggest sports star on the planet.

    And as I've said before, the US Men's team had a match where the barely beat women's softball in the ratings .

    It boggles my mind that soccer fans can defend the penalty kick/penalty shootout dynamic.

    When goals are at such a premium in soccer, it's highly in' stupid to basically give a team a 90% chance of scoring just because a player was fouled in the box. In many of those cases, the player wasn't even in an advantageous scoring position.

    And Jesus Christ, penalty shootouts. Imagine ending a basketball game after the 2nd overtime or something on a 3 point contest. Or ending a baseball game after the 12th inning on a home run derby. A penalty shootout barely resembles the core gameplay of soccer, but yet it's used to decide important matches. And it's used A LOT since soccer ends in a tie 50% of the in' time.

    "Well, if they didn't use shootouts, the game could on forever and players would die or something."

    And that exactly illustrates the problem with soccer. That it can conceivable go on forever without a team scoring, so you're forced to end it with some arbitrary minigame.

    Sorry. Soccer's gameplay design is absolutely horrid.
    You should just take a on your keyboard and it would have came out better than this.

    Bump!

    Portugal tied all but one game in the Eurotrash tournament, yet that's all it takes to win a ring in povertyball! Just says it all about that stain of a "sport."

    I obviously didn't watch, but was following the score on my phone. Wasn't at all surprised it was 0-0 in the 100th minute

    I'm glad I didn't watch any of the games, tbh... Euro soccer, at least at the NT team level, is a known snorefest, tbh...

    If they got rid of offsides and allowed poaching, you may actually see some 7-6 games. Who the flip wants to see 0-0 games decided after OT by a novelty game?

    Was there some type of controversy in the kickball tournament yesterday? I wouldn't know because I'd rather stick icepicks in my balls than watch that .

    Just saw that France refused their silver medals. Wondering why, tbh.

    Still, it's even funnier now that the midget you like, who's supposed to be the GOAT of povertyball, can't win one of those tournaments when all you have to do is keep tying (not even winning) every game until the last one. Instead, he choked and quit like Karl Malone

    When that's the face of your "sport," it's a "sport." Say what you want about baseball. Mike Trout is stuck on a garbage team, but at least he hasn't thrown a tearful hissy-fit and retired over it.

    Funny thing is that in the last 3 tournaments where Argentina lost in the final, in regulation they have a record of 12 wins, 7 ties and 0 losses. Then comes a team and rings winning just 1 game out of 7. That's one thing I give basseball over soccer, its knock-out stage is more fair than Soccer's knock-out stage. These kind of tournaments in soccer are unfair and unpredictable. It's a mother ing but it is also part of its appeal, tbh.

    Poor sportsmanship and typical rude French behavior. Porker should be so proud.

    Especially because of the false choice inherent in much of the discussion. Personally, I can't stand watching either sport.

    No, we mean baseball, which has nothing to do with cricket other than being another bat-and-ball sport. It didn't even evolve out of cricket

    When povertyball fans start throwing around old played-out names like "handegg" and "American cricket," it just shows their ignorance of real sports played by actual men.
