Why do soccer fans around the word riot? Out of sheer boredom.
To: nickcarraway
Idiots.
That said, MLS is flat, even when they recruit top players. I just watch the US team when they are on.
To: nickcarraway
Guilty as charged! I am a Republican and I hate soccer.

D.C. United, a Major League Soccer team Uhhh. . . Sorry, sir, that's a contradiction in terms. And I like soccer. But this is America, dude. Not that you noticed from your perch in Outer Quichelandia.

Go Earthquakes!
But seriously, one has to wonder what story Chait was avoiding having to report by writing some drivel about this?

The level of play in MLS is miles above where it was, even 10 years ago.

Yerhonor...I submit exhibit 1 as my evidence that I not only don't like soccer because it bores me to tears, but I also think it is pretty much just gay. Exhibit 1:

Chait’s simply whining because the USA beat his Mexico team on Tuesday.

I wasn’t aware that Republicans hate soccer, though I suspect they think leftist soccer moms are stupid.

I vote Republican, (see my profile), and I am passionate about football aka soccer. The EPL, Bundesliga, Liga MX, MLS, La Liga, and of course our national teams. Have been for years. Can’t get enough. The loss of Fox Soccer Channel is a real bummer.

Soccer requires better conditioning than US football, baseball and basketball.
Hockey and soccer are probably the most demanding sports in the world.

If the author had cojones..he’d have called it “football” lieke they do everywhere else in the world, instead of soccer but then it would have been very easy to tell that he’s nuts, without having to bother to read a few paragraphs.

I was at a bar that had that dull game and the previous week had the fun US women’s 314-0 victory over Mexico. Soccer is for girls because they are the only ones to make it exciting.

My brother played pro soccer and I don’t like it, still.
