One fateful day in the hedgerowed meadows of Wetminster-On-Brine:

"I say, Gerald! Let's have another go 'round but this time we shant make use of our hands!"

"Capital notion, Reginald! Best gag since we swapped the toffee for taffy at the Shropshroveshire Inbred Exhibition. Ticketey boo! I'm using my shoe!"



Shoeball remains the world's most popular sport for people who don't like using their hands.

This. The manager tried the whole "let's get 3 box tickers to take penalties to prove a point" in the Euros when there were more experienced penalty takers with a better proven record available. This clearly backfired, and he was surprised at the reaction thereafter. The media typically back him up.

I'm all for equality but when it's constantly pushed in your face it's all so tiresome.

You know what, soccer wasn't even on my radar, until my 20's. I actually enjoyed it. It happened once every four years, and you literally felt the importance.

I'm starting to think why soccer is so popular, and divisive, is that the U.S. is clearly not number 1.

It's one of those things....hang your hat on that.

* Its cheap and open to everyone to see if they have ability, there is some truth in the poverty ball phrasing but the upside of that is that the talent pool is exponentially greater
* Its highly skilled at the top level due to the above point re global talent pool
* Money is big for the top level talent due to worldwide interest
* It basically continuous movement unlike a lot of other sports. That also means there isnt annoying ad break stoppages every few minutes, there are literally none during the game itself
* Its done in 90 minutes
* Team set up and formation allows for tactical engagement and interest for those so inclined
* This is obviously more subjective but the nature of the play is interesting itself ,and so you don't need frequent goals as a result: if simply scoring points was the source of sporting enjoyment then basketball should be everyone's favourite. In essence all winter field sports are variations on the same basic concept ie team with ball aims to work ball up to other end of field to score,while the other side attempts to stop them. Soccer is no different so not an outlier in that respect
* The flipside of infrequent scoring is that a goal is often hugely consequential and induces mass euphoria, see EPL crowds. In addition it means that a lot more games remain competitive until the end unlike an NFLor NBA  blow out for eg
* Its extremely tribal both at a local derby level, and internationally based on genuine war and geopolitical grudges. The hate is very real and that always works for sporting interest

I'm not a mega fan but I do enjoy it and just giving some reasons as to its appeal. I get that for a lot of people seeing scoreless draw results doesnt inspire: it doesn't inspire fans as well but boring games happen in all sports. England won their first game 6-2 which if given a 7 point NFL equivalent is a 42-14 result for context

Soccer is just Okay to watch.

It can be kind of wimpy compared to other sports at times, but the biggest problem are the offsides calls.

They need to tweak the rule because it kills the excitement and opportunities.
