I don't understand it either, as well all the other sports except hockey.

Stick to training baseball "athletes"

Sure they can all run the 40 in 4.1 and squat 2000lbs. I'm also sure the fans drink beer all game because it is so exciting.

I've learned a lot watch soccer. It's still fashionable to put highlights in your hair and faking an injury and falling to the ground in agony is part of the strategy.

Is Obama forcing you to watch it coach?

Agreed.

my order of popular sports from irrelevant, to shitty, to awesome.

Soccer - irrelevent in the US, boring, possibly homosex
Baseball - shitty and boring
Basketball - hebrews showing off trying to out hebrew each other
Hockey - meh, but random violence is entertaining

Then a huge gap,,

Then,
Rugby - (cause its almost football)
Football (NFL, not that gay soccer shit) - because awesome.

I'm a sports nut, but football (soccer) and rugby top my list, but can watch 50 over cricket (or tight test cricket) athletics, basketball, NFL (prefer highlights), shit I've even watched curling and all the other shite on offer at various Olympics.

Must be a territorial thing.

Can understand why a basketball or hockey fan would consider soccer boring since those sports are played end-to-end and soccer isn't.

But American football and baseball? Seriously

Barely 5-10 minutes of combined action, if that.

It is.

Ive given up trying to explain to non US folk how we really dont give a shit about soccer here.

They're trying so hard to push it on us during this years soccer season (whatever it is you guys call it), constantly running ads saying things like "its not football but please be understanding and give it a chance" (dead srs), but we really just dont care as a culture, and only an extremely small amount of Americans even bother to turn it on. (And theyre usually immigrants)

At my gym tbey had the soccer championship thingy on TV and there seriously was ads trying to convinces us to give it a chance. Hilariously, 3 or 4 people complained and they changed the channel to a fckin aports channel talking about Lebron possibly taking a shit. People here would rather watch someone speculate on a hebrews home life than they would the world championships of soccer.

Ita hard to make Non US people grasp this since its so popular everywhere else.

Go on holidays anywhere in Europe, Africa or South America, buy a football, go to a park or public pitches and you can get a game. Anywhere. It is ingrained, simple to pick up and play, no pads or lines necessary can use jumpers as goal posts. It will happen in USA eventually. US is just allergic to change, just look at it clinging to imperial measurements when it makes NO sense.

It looks like it's falling out of the sky hitting him in the head. (wishful thinking).

Sorry, Coach, but baseball is just as boring as soccer.

A few weeks ago on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, he did a piece about how these teams are paying off officials to throw games. Happened a lot during the World Cup playoffs.

In what way? The rich clubs buy all the best players leading to hegemony.

US sports and the draft system and wage caps is communism personified.

I think he's trolling. However, in the past, I've actually heard some Americans call soccer a "Communist" sport.

Although bear in mind that mental retardation is quite common in America so helps explain such comments.
