An absolutely horrid "sport". The only strategy in this "sport" is setting formations and subbing substitutions. In football, you have to memorize hundereds of plays and formations. Like for instance, if your a WR and a QB says "42 red blue right" You must know EXACTLY where your going to be on the field, what rout to take, what player to block, etc. Absolutely no dumbasses are allowed in the big leagues, take Ryan Leaf for instance. This guy was a dumbass jock, and becuase of it, he turned out to be horrible in the NFL. You could be a dumbass jock in Soccer and you could still be succsesfull.
You are not required to have ANY upperbody strength in Soccer, and the only "injury" these soccer players have are sprained ankles, and you know how they got that? By being tripped! Boo fuckin' hoo, be a man.
The refferies are fucking sad. There calls are based on OPINION, what the hell is up with that? Like for instance in the world cup, one american guy got tripped by an italian, and the refs shows a red card, even though he TOUCHED THE BALL and IT WAS THE FORST FUCKING FOUL OF THE GAME. The refferies pull out these "cards" on impulse. Basicly, the only reason America did not get past the first round was becuase we lost that guy and we had to settle for a tie. In Football, if a referie calls someone out (because there are no fouls because football isn't for pussies) He ALWAYS checks with another Ref to see if he agrees. And even if they missed a call (Which they hardly do) the COACH (Not Manager) can tell the refferies if he thinks they did, and they ACTUALLY listen.
Another reason Soccer Sucks, is because of the point system. Do you know why Hockey got rid of these "ties"? Becuase having ties in a game are STUPID! So why dosn't soccer have overtime to decide the tie? Becuase soccer feels that it has to be so boring that it should have 0-0 ties. I mean, atleast when your going to football, baseball, basketball, or hockey game you KNOW there is going to be a score, it's guerenteed. And this goal-differential is also an embarrismant. Imagine if your goalkeeper was having a bad game and you lost 5-0. It would take over a month just to break even! Like when the US lost 3-0 in the World cup, but then played VERY well the next two games. We didn't get passed the first round, because of that 3-0 loss. The only way we could have gotton past is if we won a game 3-0. It wouldn't matter if we did win the next two games, because we would still need a goal differential of 0 to break even. What a messed up system!
And yes, after all that there is still something wrong with soccer: Everything else. The game itself lasts for only 90 minutes, a football game lasts for 210 minutes. The game of soccer contains passing the ball over and over and over and over again and some scoring. In Football, EVERY play is exciting, whether it be a passing play or running play. In soccer, the ONLY thing exciting are the goals, in football, EVERY aspect of it is exciting, whether it be a long pass, amazing catch, broken tackle, hard hit, interception, long run, sack, or even the time inbetween plays.

The softest sport on earth. Only played by kids who can't take a hit or do anything other than kick a ball. People who play soccer are not respected and should switch to another tougher sport such as hockey.

A slower, easier, wimpier version of hockey. Boring. Guys tend to fall on the field crying after barely any contact and the refs give out red cards for nothing.
*watching soccer on tv*
guy 1: this is gay
guy 2: yeah check out if there's hockey on. i cant watch this shit any longer
