I don't know what the game is like now, but growing up a two goal lead was insurmountable no matter how much time was left

Lots of Americans watch soccer. Love it. Loved playing it, coaching it, ref'ing it.

Soccer was my first sport as a kid. Baseball was second. Basketball was third.

Then in high school my sophomore year the seniors on the football team told me I was big for a kid my age and they needed me on the varsity football team.

They put me on defense at linebacker on the right side behind the line.

I pretty much got my azz kicked that year by the older kids on the other teams.

Then the same seniors who drafted me for linebacker drafted me for the wrestling team. I pretty much got my azz kicked that year by the older kids on the other teams again.

Then the same seniors that drafted me for football and wrestling drafted me for track in the spring. Finally !! Something I was good at.

I played those sports again my junior and senior years.

Junior year I broke even -- win a few and lose a few.

Senior year I was kicking azz. This changed my life. I found out that if I trained hard I could defeat anybody, or at least wear them out eventually. It was also perfect preparation for the military.

Senior year the school awarded me a varsity letter jacket. I got to pin my wrestling and track medals on it. That was b!tchin' !!

In the military I learned that there is nothing on this Earth that I cannot kill. Whether two legged or four legged. And no matter what coat or uniform it wears.

Football (American) is an aggressive sport. It's great for honing those aggressive instincts more than any other sport.

. But i'm still a big Baseball Fan. I'm a BoSox freak through & through.

Dombrowski will wipe out your minor league system within 3 years....that's your window.

Yeah, and i thought they got too distracted with the 'Big Papi' retirement stuff last year. They need to focus this year. Dombrowski wins. He's usually successful. They can do it. They just need more focus this year.

Baseball can be boring if your team sucks.
When it comes to baseball I'm definitely a fair weather fan.
Fortunately the Astros have been fun to watch lately.

Watching Miggy and Altuve horse around at 1st base is what I like about Detroit-Houston games:

Ya gotta love Altuve and the bats of the Astros in general.
Watching the Astros put up 21 runs against the D Backs was incredible!!

The last world cup I told myself I was going to really watch soccer and try and get into it,just to give it a fair shake so to speak.
Lasted three games....

You shouldn't have wasted your time and started wrestling earlier.

I respect the talent, but it's just not a sport i'm interested in. Seems very boring. Sports have evolved. Soccer was great when there wasn't much else. It's primitive. I'd much rather watch an exciting American Football or Basketball game. I may even go with NASCAR Racing over Soccer, as far as excitement goes. I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but this year's Daytona 500 was pretty exciting.

I like watching Mexican soccer games at the tequila bar downtown.

It goes well with the smoky mescal imported from Mexico too.

The Mexican food there is good as well.

Soccer is a sport?

No it isn't.

Ha, this thread is sure to be moved real soon. Soccer is gay, but it has nothing to do with Politics.

NASCAR is one of the few sports you can killed playing....40 cars doing 190mph within a foot of each other for 3 hours....anybody says those boys ain't great athletes isn't paying attention. Watch Talladega.....restrictor-plate racing same as Daytona....that's as balls-to-the-wall as it gets.

Up there with baseball, cricket, or curling. BORING as hell. And who cares? Don't Europeans have anything better to do?

I was thinking the same but actually it may be political. Soccer is big in socialist countries. Why is that? Is the sport kind of an acknowledgement of the pussification of a nation? I say yes.

It's boring.

A game that has scores of 1-0 on average is not much fun to watch.

American (real) Football is far more entertaining.

7 point for one action is good?>!!!! fake point

This question has been asked and answered the same way for decades, we do not like it, we like ping pong better, another back and forth game with a lot more action...the left are the only ones playing politics with it insisting there is something more than not liking it...trust me on this, if it were fun to watch we would watch it...got it now, we do not like it...WE DO NOT LIKE IT!...if soccer were entertaining it would be on our TV's with a ton of commercials...btw, I've been to Spain...Barcelona, Palma-Palma nova...beautiful country, wonderful people, and ooohhhhhh the wine flows so freely..

why soccer is most popular sport in world?
