He hates soccer
No, I hate soccer because it's a silly sport.
Not everyone likes your "The World's Game."
Do you really believe Bumgarner could sustain that over a whole season?Bumgarner has a higher HR rate than Bryce "best power hitter in beisbol" Harper
Reeeeaaaaching again. It's like saying some bench player has a better 3 point percentage than Steph Curry. Then you find out the bench player only took 10 total three point attempts.
Penalty shootout is the most intense tie breaker ever. One miss can make you cry and the next make can make you sceam and jump of happines
American sports.. lol
No gives a about american sports
And it's cost him.
He's barely been above replacement level for the last 4 seasons. His contract was Kirby bad.
He also has a 24 million dollar per year worthy .350 OPS in the playoffs
He's trash, which is why I don't know why the soccer crew constantly references him as an example of a good player. He could've been if he didn't get fat.
4, 7, 8, 9, 10 of the highest salaried "athletes" in American cricket are fat s

If no one cares about American sports, why is basketball the 2nd most popular sport in the world?
(The China factor gives it the edge over cricket)
And baseball is a popular sport in a variety of countries with decent population sizes.
The NFL is irrelevant worldwide, most likely because the rest of world is too small and poor to play it
It's why the gravitate toward povertyball. Poor Mexicans can play it with the decapitated head of cartel victims.
As if basketball games aren't decided by FTs, the only sport where players take piggy back rides to commit fouls.
There has NEVER existed a player that can make 3 pointers off the dribble at the same rate as Curry let alone a scrub on the bench outdoing him.
Beisball is "popular" in countries we invaded and occupied, imposed our "values", but nowhere else. I wonder why it isn't an Olympic sport?And baseball is a popular sport in a variety of countries with decent population sizes.

Hand-egg is irrelevant because even those countries we invaded and occupied aren't dumb enough to suffer a post-career life limited to drinking their dinner and dying at age 50.
Flopping is actually pretty prevalent in the NFL among SKILL players aka receivers.
In futbol it only takes a slight contact to throw you off which is also true when you're trying to catch the ball. There is no skill involved when it comes to just running w/ the ball while cradling in you hands unlike trying to dribble a ball w/ your feet while weaving through traffic.
Do they test soccer players for PEDs, tbh?
I really can't imagine how Messi and Ronaldo could play a full season+champions league+world cup/copa/euros without being on some serious
Cherry picking again
And what's with this silly logic that contracts define ability? Baseball teams give out stupid contracts all the time.
But let's break it down:
Ryan Howard:
He's been BELOW replacement level for the past 5 seasons, meaning you can call up a Triple AAA prospect and pay him 200K and probably get better performance. And before he dipped to below replacement level, he was barely treading water as a quality starter.
Pujols. Here's what he looked like in his prime:
And now, he's actually a net negative player and has been just starter quality over the past 4 seasons. Nowhere close to a top 10 player in the league.
CC was in rehab, and since signing the contract, has barely been above bench player level.
Miggy isn't fat.
Meanwhile, this skinny fat specimen makes more than all of those players per year
Oh, and this guy ranked 27th in goals scorer last season
And he's consistently one of the highest scores in the Premier League
And the UK did the exact same thing with soccer, cricket, etc.
Also, baseball was introduced to Japan (who introduced it to South Korea) well before the occupation.
Baseball was first introduced to Japan as a school sport in 1872 by American, Horace Wilson, an English professor at the Kaisei Academy in Tokyo. The first organized adult baseball team, called the Shimbashi Athletic Club and was established in 1878.
Oh, now you're shifting it to "off the dribble."There has NEVER existed a player that can make 3 pointers off the dribble at the same rate as Curry let alone a scrub on the bench outdoing him.
Quit reaching. You and I both MadBum isn't hitting 40 homers over a full season. He hits .175
Also, where are you getting your phony stats?
MadBum's homerun/at bat ratio is 20. Harper's is 15.6
And he still makes more than those baseball players
And what deflection?
Tell me since when does contract size define player ability? Tony Parker got a nice contract. Didn't live up to it. They paid Kirby 24 million per year. He was about the worse player in the league.
Also to be ranked 27th in the Premier League, when you consider how many 3rd worlders play soccer, basically makes that skinny thing one of the .0001% top soccer players in the world
And literal midgets can play the game at the highest levels
Swear to god, the funniest post I've read on here
It was true when Bumgarner hit his last HR earlier this month which was when I read about it.
Even w/ Harper trending up, Bumgarner has a better slugging% for the month of June.
I dont mind them falling down to get the refs attention but I hate that they have to grab their ankle and scream in horrific pain. I train martial arts for years now and boxing and lemme tell u...ive seen guys tear there ACL's and react better than those soccer players im seriously not exaggerating. They usually just grab their knee and say something popped and hurts bad. Soccer players act like they got their legs severedFlopping is actually pretty prevalent in the NFL among SKILL players aka receivers.

They exaggerate to trick the refs into pulling out their cards.
What about Ice Hockey? They have a penalty shootout, don't they?
Also apparently shootouts exist in both Basketball and Baseball. Granted, not on the biggst stage, but they exist.

Mid vs. the poorball loyalists always makes for a nice morning read.
And yes, soccer ing sucks. My girlfriend likes it but that's because she grew up in South America.
I'm really only talking about the highest levels of play for the sake of the argument. They don't do it in the NHL, thankfully. And obviously they don't do a derby in the MLB.
I just don't like a shootout concept, regardless of the sport. I would probably follow soccer more if they got rid of them, in addition to red carding diving on the spot and reforming in-the-box penalties (goals are too valuable in the game, so to give a team a 90% chance of scoring off a foul makes no sense. Just because a player had the ball in the box, doesn't mean he was likely to score).
It's all good. I like football (call it soccer, povertyball or whatever you like) and nothing you say/write bothers me or will change that. Obviously it's the same from your pov. I like a little talking and if you can bait some posters into argueing, good for you.
The most athletic baseball players are way more athletic than the most athletic soccer players.
