12 grown men chasing a rubber ball in a "would-be/should be" golf course continously for 90 minutes per game, now that's soccer.

The act of looking like a complete nancy, often times morons who partake in this "sport" become homosexual.
No wonder you get hit on by other guys, you play Soccer.
This world is fucked up because of all the Soccer players in it.

The world's most popular sport, enough said. Though, it has to be said that it requires more mental processes than any other sport, mainly because play doesn't stop every 5 seconds like American football. Also, the players aren't covered head-to-toe in pads, they have to play both offense and defense and don't leave the field every 2 minutes, and above all, they actually use their feet to play (I know, weird concept to grasp). Baseball, boring unless the ball is hit and even then the play only lasts 10 seconds. Basketball continues the play more so than others but still stops every 30 seconds or so.
Simply put, soccer is the most dynamic sport on the planet and it is true what people say about that it is played in every country. The soccer legend Pele juggled oranges when he was a little boy growing up in Brazil, furthermore, you don't even need other people to play the game. It always has been and always will be the greatest, worldly accepted sport.

Soccer player: I am a boss
American Football player: I guess I'm alright
Baseball Player: Whew, my gut is bigger than i thought.

A fag sport. While it does require stamina and endurance, soccer couldn't hold a candle to American Football.
Yeah, in football you wear pads, but if you didn't, you would get seriously injured and possibly killed, especially at the NFL level. Yeah, you get breaks in between plays, but it's like running sprints. One or two sprints won't get you tired, but after an hour of it, you're exhausted. Same with football.
To have a good football team, you need a diverse range of players with different skills. You need a good leader who can throw the football well, a strong, fast player who can absorb hits every play without fumbling the ball, a few fast athletic players who can catch the ball and not drop it after getting leveled by a safety or linebacker, and five big guys to fight in the trenches and block every play and are the most important part of your offense. And that's just the offense.
So for all of you faggots who think that soccer is harder or takes more skill than football and all you need to do to be a football player is throw a football, man up and try playing a real sport, AMERICA's sport, American Football. You wouldn't last 5 seconds against a good team.

an activity defended by its fans based chiefly on the following, poorly-reasoned premises:
1. It is the "most popular 'sport' in the world." This poor reasoning adheres to the two-pronged logical fallacy of collectivism: (1) what many enjoy does not mean all should enjoy; (2) what many enjoy does not make an activity "good". Further, fans of soccer who base their fandom on its popularity engage in self-perpetuation: "i'm a fan because it's the most popular sport in the world."
2. Soccer requires significant athletic skill and conditioning. Though soccer may, indeed, require significant skill and conditioning, the argument of soccer supporters fails quickly when they attempt to parlay this argument as making soccer's physical requirements superior to the conditioning required for sports such as football, etc. The simple fact is, the activity of soccer, like sports, is played in short bursts of speed, and long lags of standing or shuffling around - the same "lapse of activity" that fans of soccer find fault with baseball, football, etc.
3. Soccer players are tough. This is perhaps the most laughable of rationales, as, even though it may hold water, anyone ever observing "soccer dives" would instantly dismiss this reasoning. Those wishing to proffer the "but they're REALLY HURT when they take dives" defense need look no further than any one of dozens of compilation videos on youtube of soccer players crashing to the ground in agony after being brushed by an opponent.

1. Soccer fan: "Soccer is awesome because it's the most popular sport in the world!"
Common-sense observer: "So does that mean that the most popular items in the world are awesome, and should be followed by all? Is Muhammad the most awesome name in the world? More people in the world practice Christianity than any other religion - does that make them right, and others wrong? Does it just make Christianity the most awesome religion?"
2. Soccer fan: "You have to be a REAL athlete to play soccer. You have to have strength and speed and skill! Not like those other, wus sports!"
Common-sense observer: "Are you implying that it takes less skill and coordination to, for example, hit a 90+ mile-per hour fastball in baseball, or to use proper leverage to re-direct the rush of a 315 pound defensive tackle in football, than to do anything in soccer?"
3. Soccer fan: "Look at Player X! He's on the ground! He got MAULED by Player Y! Player X may never play again he's hurt so badly! Soccer is such a tough, physical game!"
Common-sense observer (five minutes later): "Looks like Player X is back in the game. Like nothing happened. Even though, when Player Y brushed past Player X, you'd have sworn Player Y shot seven rounds of double-barrel buckshot into Player X's chest at point-blank range."

A sport were you have like no protection from getting hurt. You actually have to move. Unlike baseball and nascar. It usually gets made fun of my American football players and baseball players by being called girly, faggy, and a gay ass sport. I'm sorry we have to run around like crazy for 90 minutes and you baseball players stand there watching the clouds go by. It's the world's popular sport, EXCEPT United States, be we know all soccer players get the girl.
Ethan: (Breathing Hard) My soccer game is SO tiring, i'm BEAT, hey didn't you have a baseball game, Owen?
Owen: (Breathing calmly) Yeah i looked at the clouds and saw a bunny shaped one!
