The Japanese, for one.

Well soccer sucks cause all you do is run back and forth kicking a ball

You DON'T understand the sport so stop commenting on it like you're the expert. I've lived in Canada for 16 years and they got this thing called the CFL here which is a lot like the NFL with a few rule changes and a different style of play. And you know what? Until I started watching the sport and put an effort into understanding it, I had the same lame-ass arguments every other European sports expert has.

You're right: it doesn't take a genius to figure out any sport. You just gotta realize what the sport is about and what the challenges of it are to appreciate it.

You missed the best part of his post. Apparently, the Japanese don't count because 'theyre ****s...'

I'm pretty sick of baseball, I'll admit, but the NFL/NCAA Football are awesome. Just because you can't handle the downtime, doesn't mean it's a shitty sport. Tennis has a lot of downtime, and I love it too, not to mention golf. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not a great sport and thousands of other people like it. And Masonious had a point about Rugby vs. Football. People in pads go a lot more all out and hit a whole hell of a lot harder. Not to mention you get hit with helmets and pads, rather than human body parts. It doesn't even make sense to compare the two.

haha that is such bullshit.
basketball requires so much less than "soccer", you don't even really need to run alot. you'll get a long way just by being tall.
anyways i like both sports. used to play basketball, hehe we had these crazy christian american coaches that were really serious about winning the league which meant alot of bench sitting :/, i still play football for fun with friends

basketball can't take that much talent if a bunch of drunk crackheads that go out and party all night can do it right?

if you had done more research other than that one website bashing soccer. You would have noticed that soccer is the most widely played sport in America,. so.... yea.

Really?

Even compared to the top-3? (Basketball, Baseball and Football). Do you happen to have some material about it? This is quite interesting

i think soccer is widely played at younger ages...and maybe that is the reason he says that...but i dunno...

there are more people playing it than baseball, football or basketball. But not professionally.
