Would anyone buy this argument if it was phrased:

Why Soccer European Football Is Better Than American Football

The author’s name is Bruce.....whaddya expect?

[tet68]

There is Football and then there is Futbol.

Soccer is incredibly boring. The writer is welcome to it.

[P-Marlowe]

Soccer. Most boring game ever created. Watching a Chess match is more exiting.

Hell, I’d rather watch two old men at a retirement home play checkers than watch the finale of the World Cup.

[dfwgator]

There is actually a game tomorrow MORE important than Chelsea-Bayern Munich....it’s the “Richest Game in Football” between West Ham and Blackpool to determine the final team to be promoted to the Premier League next season, it literally is worth about 100 million dollars to the winning team.

BTW, Go Bayern!

[GeronL]

I would rather watch Sumo wrestling or Women’s LaCrosse or Curling than watch soccer.

[cripplecreek]

I prefer baseball to either.

[JohnBrowdie]

soccer is a hopelessly stupid little game that is so completely clueless, it doesn’t even know when it ends.

the time on the clock expires, but the game continues for some secret period of time until all of the unannounced penalty seconds tick off the REAL clock, which is apparently somewhere in the ref’s knickers.

THAT is a stupid game.

[DaveyB]

Soccer is catnip for socialists!

[CharacterCounts]

Soccer could be very entertaining if they would adopt three changes, allow the use of the hands, institute the forward pass and permit tackling.

[Hulka]

Nothing like watching grown men in silk shorts prancing around so their hands won’t get cooties by touching the ball.

[EGPWS]

Adult thrill seeking via pictures.

'Nuff said.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Of course soccer is boring and a pansy sport to boot. However, the aforementioned is not the point! The author's unstated premise being “soccer belongs to the WORLD, THE COSMOS, IT IS UNIVERSAL. Baseball, football and basketball are so narrow so nation bound.

[Malone LaVeigh]

I accidentally caught part of a Premier English soccer game one day while I was surfing channels and I have to admit that it was unlike other soccer games I've watched in the past. It was definitely more aggressive play. The Brits were always driving hard to make goals rather than constantly passing back and forth amongst themselves.
I'll still take American football any day, but this wasn't hard to get into.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Forget about winning.

The bigger story in soccer which trumps American sports is losing, and dropping down to the second league.

[bramps]

My advice for anyone with a negative knee jerk reaction to this story is to scout out one of the better high school teams or players in your area this fall and go watch a couple games. I would’ve laughed at this story a few years ago. But after seeing a few very talented teams and players in person, I now find live soccer to be the most compelling sport to watch. I emphasize the words ‘live’ and ‘talented’. A kid with a gift of handling a ball with their feet is something to behold.

Why Soccer Is Better Than Football

Supporting soccer inflammatorily?

Or supporting Soccer Moms inflammatorily?

Hillary's running.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Soccer & hockey ... rather just sit and watch grass grow.

[Codeflier]

He got caught up in the proximity bias of the mood of others around him in London. Let’s see what he thinks when he tries to watch it alone at his own house. Better keep the coffee brewing non-stop.
