To all the soccer haters....I bet most of you like baseball!!
!!! L-O-L !!!
Wrong, I find watching paint dry far more entertaining than either one.
Thanks for the update. The 5 of us appreciate it......
1. The fast-growing Latino population are huge soccer fans.
2. Soccer is cheap to set up and play.
3. You don't need physically large (in the case of American football) or tall (basketball) players to dominate in most positions except goalkeeper.
4. Because of the way soccer games use the clock, there are no TV timeouts for each half. As such, a soccer game is usually over in around two hours, not the three-plus hours you get with American football and baseball games nowadays.
Yes, there are issues with diving, but the imposition of a red card sendoff for such acts and severe fines if the diving is discovered on game review tape should quickly put an end to that.
About as exciting as watching Bruce Jenner show off his breast implants.
I like the idea of the US dominating the world soccer scene even as most Americans don’t give a flip about the sport. The combination of dominance and indifference would be truly delicious.
