There is no way that I’ll sit for 90 minutes to see a final score of 1-0 . . . and that’s if they score. Still can’t figure out where the skill is in that game since they can’t control possession of the ball at all during a game . . . it’s possible to see 6 or more changes of possession in a minute during any game . . . If American football changed possession that many times in that short of a period, I’m sure we’d lose interest.
Then, you add that incessant droning of those outrageous horns blowing constantly, overpowering all attempts for the announcers to talk, and I think you have a good reason for me not to have the slightest interest in so-called world class soccer.
Who was it that said, “The reason so many people play soccer is so they don’t have to watch it”?
Good points, especially the last zinger.
It will never succeed here no matter how hard it’s pushed,
for obvious reasons: we already have a major Industry
centering around PROFESSIONAL sports , which are all-consuming, and will never be penetrated by a ‘foreign invader’ like soccer. Beyond that, why it rankles me is that it looks like just another incursion by Globalism, and a fatuous one at that. I’m tired of all these people and really weary at having their dumbass customs and culture
forced down my throat.
