Good grief. Anyone who thinks soccer is more “socialist” than other sports neither understands socialism, nor capitalism.

Because it’s boring and has an offense-killing offsides rule.

Soccer would be cooler if they played by the old rules and used the skull of a captured enemy as the ball.

I would watch it then.

Those who say soccer sucks do so because they are unfamiliar with the game. Soccer is a game of true beauty.

Take football, for example. It is highly scripted by a multitude of coaches and players actually play for 20 seconds and then huddle to get the scripted play from the coach. Soccer, on the other hand, is a players game, with players devising strategy and making plays.

Soccer is really an awesome game once you understand it.

Same reason I don’t click on excerpted blog links. Usually mind-numbingly boring.

Pretty silly article.

Basketball and soccer both suck -- though for different reasons.

There's only one great sport left here in North America:

And every now and then it's good for one of these . . .

I don't want to watch a sport where the highlights are all of the goals that were almost made.

There is a reason that 4 year olds can play in a soccer league but most basketball teams don't start until kids are much older. In economic terms, soccer has low barriers to entry. In plain language, it's just not that hard.
Actually, soccer is extremely hard. That’s why there are so few goals in a game: Your only chance to score is through a well thought out and organized attack that anticipates and takes into account the defensive moves and strategy of the enemy. Most of the time, you fail. You have to understand why the attack failed, and how to correct your attacking strategy for your next attempt. If anyone thinks this is boring then that is most likely because they do not understand what’s going on on the pitch…

6 Reasons why March Madness is the most wonderful time of the year:

1) Upsets 13 seeds over 4 seeds
2) Cinderella’s ex: George Mason 2006
3) filling out brackets
4) One and Done
5) Some of the best Games EVER played—1992 Duke vs UK
6) Championship decided by game not polls
