Get the soccermug. Is an abbreviation for Association of Football mainly used in the US. Subject of criticism by Americans that say "its too boring", "its a game of luck", "its for fags"
Lets look at this systematically:
1. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world with over 200 members, second only to the United Nations. Well seems like its doing all right if the majority of the world likes it
2. Soccer requires extreme endurance, speed and technical ability. Many americans like to compare soccer to american football: Soccer is 90 minutes, no stoppages with only a 15 minute break (can reach upto 2hrs in overtime). American football is 60 minutes, w/plenty of stoppages in between(timeouts, etc) and a godamned halftime show?!
3. Look at the greats of soccer: Zidane, Ronaldinho, Pele, Cryuff: they are notable for finesse on the field, for possessing such great ability it seems impossible to normal people. Notable american football players have received recognition, because they can catch (whoop-de-fucking-do!) or they can push another guy
4. Soccer requires physical strength: bones have been broken, muscles torn and the only piece of protection you have is a shin guard. Football players on the other hand are decked out in so much protective gear that its hard to differentiate between person and pads. Hmm...seems like someone's a wittle scared of getting hurt (wanna play a real contact sport? play rugby)

Soccer fan: Hey buddy, did you see how Zidane managed to dribble past 3 defenders, run 50m, before chipping a shot over the keeper?
Footbal fan: Oh no, I was too busy watching a guy jump on another guy, it was oddly homo-erotic.

Get the soccermug. SOCCER is the most popular sport in the world.FIFA has more members than United Nations for crist's sake, does American Football have mmore than 200 countries playing their lameass game. and why do they call it football when they are using their hands all the time,"its just plain stupid". Why do they call it world series in baseball when only american teams partipcipate in it: because no country wants to play their boring stupid of game and when watching a baseball game and american football you fall asleep because they are f****ing 4- 5hrs long. Case in Point; Soccer is The king of sports.

Get the soccermug. A fun sport. Also known as Football. Seems theres always an argument between soccer players and American Football players, doesn't make much sense.
Lazy fuck: Hey look at me, I'm a lazy fuck that has nothing better to do than sit on my ass and make fun of things I know nothing about!
About that... You say that we no nothing about a sport, while, chances are, you dont know anything about American football if you think it requires no skill, yet openly bash it too everyone. Good work, you just made a fool of yourself.
Soccer is a fun sport. So is Football.

Get the soccermug. A game where the will of other men continually test your foundations, and the conviction with which you attain goals.
"I just don't have the energy to play soccer, dad."
