No. Soccer is bulls*si*it.
Funny, I share the sentiment.
To top it off this most boring (next to curling) “sport” gives you brain damage both from heading the ball and from watching the “sport”.
Who cares? Of course that’s it in a nutshell.
Soccer does exist and will continue to exist. And yes, the ‘I hate soccer’ people will continue to bit** and whine.
Sitting at soccer match right now. Eating sunflower seeds and surfing FR.
Aren’t most soccer players illegal aliens from Mexico and central America. Americans do not play soccer.
But never understood the hostility towards soccer. People have the right to not watch it but let it exist for those who do.
I do think soccer is boring compared to American football. They hardly ever score (in soccer)! But if others like it, let them watch it. Also, most people that like soccer like also to drink beer so that is one thing they have going for them.
It will continue the upward trajectory of participation, but the U.S. Sadly won’t be competitive until we stop with all the silly rules meant to try and protect the kids.
3rd world kickball
Rugby!!!!!!
Soccer a gentlemen’s watched by hooligans!
Rugby a hooligan’s game watched by gentlemen!
My personal battle cry!
“Ruck over them!”
Football used to be a fine game, and still would be if played properly. I might even start watching it again, except that three hours of commercials punctuated by seven or eight minutes of actual game play has not seemed like an attractive tradeoff for many years now. TV has ruined it. TV has ruined basketball as well. Baseball holds its own, though the designated hitter, interleague play and the playoffs have eroded the attraction. Soccer at least still throws out the ball and lets the athletes play the game as God intended.
The problem with soccer (foot ball in Europe) is not the game but the low class hobs that are fans. Soccer is a good game followed by terrible fans.
Rugby is totally different. It was the predecessor to American Football. Many years ago I went to a match between England and Scotland at Twickenham Stadium. Fans for both sides were cheering and drinking for their teams. All fans were mixed together. If violence had of occurred it would have been totally impossible to control. There was no violence and there never is at a rugby match.
It all was good rivalry among fans whom gladly shared a pint after the game.
Rugby is for gentleman fans and those that play it are muscular giants. They also will have a pint with those they defeated or defeated them.
As stated, Rugby is a gentlemans game but most physically violent on the field of play.

>> “Should soccer exist in the United States?” <<
Absolutely not!
It is designed to teach kids to bow to unjust authority.
Referees in youth soccer games deliberately make bad calls just to prove that they have the authority to do it.
Save your kids’ sanity; keep them away from soccer.

For one thing, it isn't a sport, it's an activity.
A boring activity.
Hilarious!
As the NFL and “Football” die a painful death, soccer (the real football) flourishes and fills stadiums even in America.
Why not? Golf did.....
Soccer is for kids who can’t hit the ball!
For little kids
