Of course it should!
At least soccer players aren’t wasting our time giving their political opinions on everything.

Well, as someone who has watched over 1,000 soccer matches (parent, coach, ref, sorta fan) I agree that watching 22 millionaires play keep-away on a field the size of a walmart parking lot might not be all that interesting.
Indoor soccer is quite a bit more fun to watch, and play.

I’m one of those who, when asked to associate a word with “soccer”, would immediately blurt out “hooligan”.

I get that lots of people don't like it - they don't understand it, for good reason - didn't grow up with it, but if you grew up playing it you understand why it's called 'the beautiful game.' It's not going anywhere - sorry! Best sport!

Soccer reminds me of my high school love life. Hours of frantic effort and never scoring.
To: nickcarraway
Love these threads. LOL.
I grew up in a place where soccer was THE sport to play, but I've always said it has some serious limitations in the U.S. It simply doesn't play well to a television audience, and it isn't exciting enough to attract your average American sports fan.

Better question:
Should soccer exist in the United States?

Europeans and South Americans are OK allowing the refs to keep the game time to themselves. They are also OK with the refs revealing the end of the game at some seemingly random time with no prior warning to players or fans.
What kind of people would tolerate this?
People that were ripe for socialist control by so-called experts and authority figures.
As soccer rises in popularity in the US you can bet that the number of citizens open to socialism will rise.
It's no coincidence that soccer and socialism begin with the same three letters.

Anyone who thinks soccer is boring doesn’t understand the game. Like most people that grew up in the US over the last fifty years, I played everything but soccer throughout school and after. Basketball was my first love but soccer is my true love. The game is like human chess and the athletic ability required to play at a high level is on par with any sport. Speed, agility and endurance are paramount but to be truly good the player needs to out think his/her opponents. The coach has less impact because the play is continual. Players need to make adjustments collectively. Played well it is beautiful. Played poorly it’s kickball. Sadly, the US men are not playing a beautiful version yet but the the US women- who are dedicated athletes in comparison to any- play at the highest level. Hats off to the ladies.

Soccer would be better if they still played with the decapitated head of a vanquished enemy like in the old days.

Start with about 10 free kicks for each side, then play the “game”.

Some people really need to get a life.
Don’t like it, don’t watch it. Sheesh.

I can fix soccer with just one change. Get rid of the offside rule.

I’d rather watch a soccer game than support the anti-American NFL.
