NE1 else don't care for world cup?

I know it's a big deal for 90% of the world but countries like US, Australia, and few others - where soccer is not a national sport - don't really give too much sh!t about WC. Only the immigrants who live there do, right?

Not to flame on soccer - but I just find it a bit boring... you have 90 minutes of kicking the ball around, with no score or it's a tie - and it is still a good game???? Explain that to me again?

So, anyone else feels the same - e.g. "WC - So fucking what?"

Oh, and all the dramma surrounding the players is just another variant of "Soap Opera" for men. Who cares if Becks snorts coke of primo ass or Ronaldinho makes more than G-d and Bill Gates combined?

Soccer is fun to watch, what are you talking about. Yeah it's a ball being kicked around for 90 minutes. So what? How is that worse than wathcing a football being thrown around by a bunch of guys tackling each other for 4 quarters? At least there's no breaks in the game and time outs/huddles being called every 40 seconds (like in basketball, american football). And it's not 'just' immigrants, that's stupid. A lot of Americans love soccer, and it's a very popular choice for high schoolers / middle schoolers when playing school sports.

i watch the spanish broadcasting because spanish sounds funny

U're just jealous that most of us enjoy a sport that 90% of the world loves and can have fun together while watching the beautiful game.

Theres no greater feeling when your favourite team wins a final when at half time, they were actually 3-0 down. Well, just to name an example

I think it's because it's hyped up so much. I mean, even though we overpay our athletes in the US (baseball, football, basketball, etc.), the hype never is as large as the World Cup in other countries, and if it is, it's for a shorter event, like the Super Bowl, so it's not constantly talked about for months.

Kind of the same thing applies to the Olympics, even though the US is a top medal winner in both the Winter and Summer games year after year.

Personally, I like the World Cup and soccer and wished that it were more popular in the US. I used to play and was pretty good, but eventually that ended because my high school didn't even have a team, even though there were 225 in my graduating class.

The world cup is awesome, it only comes around every 4 years so you get just enough soccer to last you till the next world cup lol. Seriously though if you cant get excited about the whole thing then maybe you should delete yourself from the human race.

i love that

I really couldn't care less about the World Cup. I grew up a fat kid in Canada, which is to say I never played the football/soccer. As a result I never much had any interest in it nor do I understand it particularly well. I've watched a few games to see what all the fuss is about but it does nothing for me. I give respect to the players as it seems like a rather demanding game (physically) but it just doesn't excite me at all. Maybe if I had played growing up or understood it better I would think differently but in truth the game simply bores me.

Will we have no hooliganism this year? People drinking and throwing chairs at each other and stuff..

IMO its a part of game, it shows passion and dedication. The seriousness of the game.

Your loss then.

me. i wish i was into it though, but i'm not gonna all of a sudden take a huge interest in the WC just because everyone else is.


i have never been a big sports fan at all except for like the superbowl of course or something major. hockey is the only sport i actually enjoy watching (not on tv all the time, but going to the games).


i'm really into basketball right now actually and i never used to like it. i think ever since the heat have been doing so well and since i met hamilton from the pistons during the eastern conference, i got all into it for some reason. all the hype got me in the mood. now i'm totally into watching the games, from start to finish and i actually know the players now and can contribute to a convo about basketball. i never used to be that type, it's funny.


baby steps for me. i think trying to take on soccer now would be too much. lol i'm just gonna stay in my bball mode.

Originally posted by Lira The reason behind the popularity of world cup isn't football alone. It's a duel of nations: a bunch of players from the same nation representing their land. This is far from happening (thankfully) in national leagues, where you have people from different cities, different countries and whatnot playing in the same squad. And, they're all playing the same sport - it's not like the olympics where you have several different olympic events happening at the same time. During the olympics, it's almost an individual effort, as you can have athletes from the same country competing against each other (e.g. swimming). In fact, I don't even like football - I'd hate to spend one hour and a half watching guys kicking a ball. My interest on the world cup is the passion that there is over something that doesn't really exists: the concept of a country. The fever, the passion, that irrational - but strong - feeling that stops entire cities, where almost all citizens draw their attention to a small court with 22 players.

Their efforts, therefore, are sometimes a lot more interesting than the result.
