America Hates Soccer

[ElNono]

Soccer remains king, but only because it had a few hundred year head start.

Basketball WILL take over. You see it everywhere. From South America, to Eastern Europe, to China to the number of international players filling up NBA rosters. Europe will probably hold out the longest, but eventually they'll see the light too. It is inevitable because basketball is a far superior game and much more fun to play.

We can resume this conversation once basketball takes over...

da_suns_fan, you seem to be spending a lot of time finding stuff on the net to make you feel okay that you don't like soccer.

News flash: it's perfectly okay that you don't like it. No one thinks any less of you. Well, not for that reason anyway.

Are you trying to contradict or reinforce my point?

Basketball is the most popular in the poorest areas of the country for the same reasons soccer is the most popular in the most poor countries in the world for the reasons YOU JUST SAID!!

Seriously?!!

You must be trolling, because I don't even think you're that dumb. See the other thread about this.

The biggest disservice done to logic and reason in this thread hasn't been done by da_suns_fan over there, but by the people actually engaging him in discussion as if his point has any ing merit.

What did some of you expect? This thread was begging for a soccer hater to come along and trash the sport.

If some soccer fan came along and started a thread about how "American football sucks", I'd either ignore it all together or just have some fun with it.

Some of you are getting seriously butthurt over dsf's posts........in an "America hates soccer" thread.......obviously the sport is having trouble speaking for itself....

I agree with all of the posters that are against the gay offside rules. Players should be rewarded by out-hinking and out-running their defenders. It makes it more of an exiting chessmatch. I know everybody will be salivating to see an exiting match of Messi and Higuain going at it against Dempsey and Donovon(Or a Torres/Villa duel against Ronaldo and Nani) going down to the wire, 13-13, then going to penalties for the world cup or in front of a full MLS stadium. IMO, we would see a more clearer picture of what these guys are made of athletic wise. You say your the fastest with the best juke moves and fakes, good passing ability, and good defense. Prove it! I wanna see these guys really go at it! None of this 0-0/1-1 bull ! that, somebody has to want the game more. Effort should be more profoundly rewarded in soccer! This is a man's game son. I wanna see the real definition of will spilled every on the soccer field.
