Europe: More LMAO'ing at povertyball.

[Brazil]

I'm not bothered at all by you calling anyone rednecks. You're the one who usually comes into these threads and lectures us about calling soccer povertyball. I was only telling you that far more people aren't interested in soccer than just rednecks.

and again I'm not bothered by the terms povertyball

No. I created this thread here to troll Lefty and the soccer crew, who actually threw the first stone in this regard with their baseball threads.

fair enough

And no, I'm not "offended" by them making fun of baseball. But you know me. You troll something I like (i.e. Kool with Duncan/Spurs), I will on something you like (i.e. Kobe/Lakers).

So that's the same reason I come into those threads and lecture... you troll something I like (Soccer) or I am (non american liking soccer) and I will respond. pretty standard

Again, don't take it so seriously.

I don't tbh

All good then. Good luck in the Euro

Kill Iceland, so England's loss looks that much worse

Indeed all good

Thanks tbh but with France anything is possible, they are capable of losing against those vikings

This whole "soccer is the world's sport" mantra has always been a lie, spread by Eurotrash with an inferiority complex who want to elevate the one "sport" they're any good at. The reality is, if povertyball was anywhere near as big a deal as its fans claim it is, the compe ion and the appeal wouldn't be limited to Europe and the third world.

I don't mind watching soccer from time to time. I follow the USMNT. But the soccer fanatics' need to constantly defend everything soccer is insufferable.

USMNT fans are the worst, the MLS hipster supporters are insufferable.

The MLS sucks, no doubt.

Soo doo y'all ever think y'all have run out of arguments in this soccer vs stickball slinging fest?

I already said soccer would score goals as 3pts and give penalty kicks with 1 pt for most penalties.

Baseball should not count outs. Just have an inning end after 16 pitches. Offense can send anyone up to bat and can pull them off bat as well. Basically more like the Pokemon card game.

Seriously? The pitcher would then throw 1 strike and then pitch out 15 times.

Highest paid to kick the ball in the net and has zero goals the entire Euro 2016.

Have you seen some of the contracts being handed out to scrubs in the NBA alone this week? Contracts =/= quality.

Plus, you're comparing a non-capped "sport" like povertyball to leagues like the NBA that have salary caps.

The shootout in hockey is only in the regular season.

Hockey is awesome. It's played on ice, and every player has a weapon.

Cleveland - Toronto just finished. Over 6 hours of playing time but fortunately the score was high.

Oh it was 2-1? nvm then

When you expand the list to the top 100, baseball players feature 26 times compared to 12 times for soccer players

Messi/CR7 make more than the besibol players in the top 50 (6).

[Arcadian]

I hate soccer and baseball. Anyone else in the same boat?

[midnightpulp]

Who cares? When you combine the total dollar amount of contracts of the all soccer players and baseball players in the top 100, baseball players make more in total.
