Will they? And also what's is your opinion of American sports like basketball and football?
>>
>>77849218
Soccer is kinda fun to play, but compared to football I'll never watch that shit. It is far too boring and too full of pussies. It's like you made a sport for the whole purpose of removing upper body strength from the game. Just look at the players, they look like jockeys.

If women can even play it, I'm not really that interested. Which only leaves football, rugby, and hockey.
>>
Europeans like fooball(soccer) because we all played it as children. I can see why someone who never played it thinks it is boring to watch.
>>

You forget baseball amd lacrosse
>>
>>77850151
Okay I guess that's true with baseball. My only problem with baseball is that it moves kinda slow and the whole "everybody gets a turn" thing grates on me. However I do understand the appeal of the sport.

And true about lacrosse, but lacrosse is kind of goofy, like something you'd play in PE class as a kid. I've not watched very much of it so perhaps I should give it another chance.

Soccer - fun but Players are pussies
Basketball - full of niggers but fun to play at times
Football - full of niggers as well, fun to throw the Ball. Game itself is like Valium.

The interrupted play aspect of football makes each play much more strategic and explosive.

Continuous play does not allow time to get set in different formations and call specific plays. This is why soccer coaches and basketball coaches walk around on the sidelines and basically whack their pecker for a few hours while the players play, except for lineup changes etc. meanwhile football coaches are constantly play calling giving signals, yelling and screaming, talking to coordinators in the booth, flipping through play books, etc. Football is, despite its image, perhaps the most cerebral sport because the complexity of the rules and interrupted play. Football is almost too complicated, my foreign friends hate it because the sheer amount of rules, formations, positions, etc.

Likewise continuous play puts focus on having stamina, interrupted play puts the focus on explosive strength.

Boring is a legitimate argument, but also a subjective one.

I watched live football in the US and I was bored to tears. Couldn't watch the whole thing.

It was also funny to see how different cultures we have for watching live sports. It seemed like almost a picnic or a concert or something over there. Very laid back and people were talking politics and other shit between the plays. A white woman came and asked of us Europeans to teach her the rules of the sport in the middle of the whole thing...

Just like in game 7 of the finals tonight a 6'8'' 250 pound guy will hardly get bumped then sling himself halfway across the court. Lebitch is the biggest cry baby in sports
>>
>>77851394

From what I've seen, most people fall out of Soccer because they don't see a good professional career. Americans who want to be famous athletes have many icons to look at in Basketball, Baseball, and American football, but I can't think of much in the way of American League soccer icons.

Same thing happens here in Canada, the dedicated athletes go into Hockey because everyone here plays Hockey, and we have a bunch of Cultural Hockey icons to look towards. We have much less in the way of baseball, and a somewhat smaller American football scene.

Its not that you can't succeed as an soccer player, its that when your around the mid-teens age that you really need to start focusing on these sports to succeed, your only gonna see the culturally popular ones around you in the vast majority of cases.

That just means that you're football is more about the coaches and less about the players.

All of the players are just chess pieces that get told how to execute each play, there's no individual brilliance on the part of the player except in executing the pre-determined play.
>>
>>77854008
The more you watch the game the more you realize the point system in football is actually genius. It is designed to produce close interesting games and hard strategic choices. The break down on conversion points and touchdowns v field goals etc. is meant to produce very interesting situations.

Our team just needs more talent, right now we're fucking clumsy and jagged.
We're a baby trying to learn to walk.
We don't have an art like Brazil did and we definently aren't as precise and tactical as Germany.

I really only watch sports when tournaments are being played, except the Super Bowl but I just to go smoke some weed.

Basketball is fun to watch and play, 5'9" but can shoot threes like a motherfucker.
Football is always boring as shit and I only go to parties for it but now to watch it.

I really like Wrestling, I was a wrestler in school, I wish more people would be into it as I think it's the manliest sport.

We hate football (american), because there are not tricks involved, or skill required in handling the ball, and it seems boring to watch someone just run with a ball in his hand to the other end of the field. Also, it looks like a pussy version of rugby, because of the equipment used. Plus it's just more fun and easy to play soccer. Honestly schoolyard soccer is quite entertaining, because there is just a desire to play, and people usually do tricks and stuff, because there is no incentive to play "professionally" because you MUST win.

There were thousands of empty seats at the USA-Ecuador game in Seattle. Seattle is the capitol of US soccer fans and the Copa tournament is the biggest international tournament outside the World Cup that the US can play in

It was actually big before WW1, into the 1920s. Especially in the North.

But splits among the administration and governance of the sport led to its decline, and it was supplanted by other sports.

>>77854487
Soccer is fucking boring compared to football. Soccer is just 100% reacting to where the ball is. Football is like chess, every movement is scripted and the decisions by the coaches are like half the fucking game.

I always laugh when people claim football is a game for idiots. The mental boxing match that takes place on every single play in football is fascinating. Whereas in my view soccer players are just running around looking for a lucky break.

>this is what faggots actually believe
>>
>>77854290
This is not untrue. The QB and coach are the brain of the team. I simply like the chess-like nature of the game compared to a more schoolyard type continuous play game. Every player is like a unique piece of an engine with a different job for every single play and every single formation.

However that is not to say the individual players do not have to make pre snap and post snap reads. That is also key to the game.

>>77854588
Then what would happen if you went for the 2 point conversion?
>>
>>77854708

Honestly, I'm surprised we've been doing as well as we have in these past tournaments.

I predict in the next 20 years we'll have a good ass team.
As the sport becomes more popular and better players are born there will be more money put in it.

US fans are already top teir and not cynical like a lot of team's fans so I can't wait.

>>
>>77854588
Football has multiple ways to score worth different points each. In poorball the only strategy you have to worry about is positioning. In football you not only have to strategize positioning but also strategize which method you will use to score, or even if you want to strategically give the other team the ball. There's an extra layer of complexity that makes football incompatible with shitskin nations where poorball is popular for its simplicity.

This argument I've never understood. Every year in the US you hear of at least one kid dying or being paralyzed because of how hard they are hitting each other, how often do kids die playing rugby?

The pads are just like boxing gloves, they protect your opponent from some specific types of injuries but they aren't there to protect the opponent, they are there so you can hit as hard as humanly possible while disregarding the consequences

>implying football and basketball aren't dominated by black guys

Soccer is simply better because you have to be fast and have some actual talent unlike most of the positions in football.

Not to mention you have to be an actual athlete and not some fat son of a bitch.

> Football is like chess, every movement is scripted and the decisions by the coaches are like half the fucking game.

Well, that's the problem. American football makes sense in a professional setting only. But if you are together with a bunch of friends and want to play some sports, you don't have a coach and no tactic. You just play for fun. The game is made challenging by the fact that you have to control the ball with your feet. Whereas if you play american football with friends, is not really that fun, because there is not much challenge in the game.

Also, players from good soccer clubs don't run around looking for a lucky break. The coach has to make passing strategies so that the players can create free spaces towards the goal. Look how a team like Barcelona or Real Madrid plays. Every pass is carefully planned, and player positions as well. Combine that with good technical ball handling abilities, and you get a goal.

Hockey and Soccer are a lot alike tbqh.

The US league is a little cringy tbqh, the names sound like they just came from some Football ones and there's no real history behind the clubs.

1. find a ball and make two goals
2. find a stick and a ball, at least 5 people for a picher, catcher, batter, and two field players create a field, set up bases and get called inside for dinner before you finish the preparation

>it doesn't require dexterity, skill

Compared to American Football, it sure as hell requires more skill to control a ball with the foot while running and trying to get past defenders, which can take your ball super easily. Then at the end, you also need to score a goal, by defeating the goal keeper. Soccer requires endurance and skill, and for professional soccer it requires a ton of tactic to create spaces between defenders.

Other countries think our football is some pussyboy version of rugby because of muh pads. 3/4 grew up playing football and making tackles without pads on the schoolyard.

Baseball might be our past time, but not every kid has a mitt growing up. Someone always had a football though.

>>77856300
Soccer could still keep these rules, if they only allowed video proof of injury. The referee should give a yellow card after video proof that a player has dived. They already give yellow cards for dives, but they often can't tell that it was a dive. If they stopped with the "referee is king" thing, the professional game would improve dramatically. Just allow the referee to consult with a technical staff about what happened, and there would be no dives.

But this will be allowed very hard. They barely allowed electronic goal scoring sensors. It used to be that the referee wouldn't see the ball pass the line and not give the goal. It all about some bullshit about keeping the game to its roots.

Except it barely requires any endurance to jog lightly for 45 minutes and spend another 45 minutes standing around waiting for something to happen

Also only requires skill of the 2-3 guys who actually do something with the ball, the rest are just jogging around making easy passes that fuck up more often than not or trying to be an impediment to the other teams one good athlete

Calls get challenged and overturned all the time. The only significant rule there is if you call for a video review and the call isn't overturned, you can't challenge any more calls.
>>
>>77859737

Usually the shot is too fast to actually move so you just try to see where the ball is being kicked and either jump or stay still.

That guy was a bitch though. The wall is supposed to block the ball from coming from a certain diection, that's why the goalie didn't suspect that.

We are shit at it because no one here cares. The national team is lucky to get any games on our big networks. I've even noticed how popular it was among the kids at my high school freshman year to how unpopular it was among the kids at my school senior year. Only people who play it here are young. Unless they're are phenomenal or top at their position in the state, they stop giving a shit in high school.
