By far and unfortunately, the most
popular sport in the world. These players get taken off in stretchers over a rolled ankle, they whine and complain and cry over the tiniest injuries. EVERYtime they fall, you can be sure they won't get up after a few minutes. Sure, it's straight running for 45 minutes for two halves. Who gives a shit? Cross Country you run A LOT more, but does that make Cross Country more of a sport than Soccer? Probably not. Then there's this moving backwards and passing backwards which means VERY LITTLE scoring which makes it
impossible to watch. Yeah, only a true soccer fan can detect the eye-popping moves, not the case for the casual sports fan. Sure it takes a lot of skill, and I
mean A LOT of skill to play soccer, but it's not very noticable and not very entertaining... at all. Oh, and no sport should EVER be a sport if it ends in a
fucking TIE. Ties do not show what team is better and it's never worth watching
3 seconds of the match if you know it's going to end in a tie. Meanwhile, you got
one handed touchdowns,
slam dunks, and
home runs. Then you got TOUGH athletes like Donovan McNabb playing on
one leg, Brett Favre throwing
TDs with 2 working fingers, and Richard Hamilton scoring
25 points with a broken face. Then there's Michael
Jordan's last second shots and John Elway's last minute drives. There's not much you can expect in the last minute of soccer games. And yes, American Football players do wear pads. You say soccer doesn't need pads because that makes them tougher? Think again. Football is SO
FUCKING TOUGH that you NEED to have pads. And even with pads, it still makes football a much tougher sport. You can't even compare soccer to football, so
stop trying. Look, I'll admit soccer requires the most skill and the most eye coordination and is very exhausting. But that in any way or form of meaning DOES NOT MAKE IT BETTER OR MORE ENTERTAINING THAN OTHER SPORTS. The more you say or think about it, the more you are a disgrace to the wide wide wide world of sports.
