You know why the clock stops after plays in every sport but soccer? Cause the other sports look at the SUBJECTIVE amount of extra time and laugh. Divegrass is a shit sport.

Blah blah blah, that's all I'm hearing from you.
>>63481573
you know I'm right. Soccer's not even a real sport. How can it be real if there's not a high chance of serious brain damage? Bunch of pussies
>other sports
None gives a shit.
>>63481802
>hasn't seen thread about concussions
so why isnt there more definitive rules regarding stoppage time so the ref doesnt just pull a number out of his ass and is less likely to result in things like fergie time
It's funny how americans waste their time talking about a sport they hate.
>>63481802
Injuries in "soccer" can be gruesome 2bh
>>63481888
there is
30 seconds for a goal
30 seconds per subsitution
same for an injury depending on how long it goes
>>63481888
'cause players are still running and repositioning themselves even if the ball is out of bounds or before a free kick. Technically speaking the game almost never stops.

Non-american ignorance strikes again.
Soccer is popular in the US. In fact, it's pretty much the first sport every athlete plays when they're a kid. Then they move onto real sports like football, tennis, track and field, wrestling, basketball, baseball, etc.
>>63483957
if it's so popular then how come you are so shit at it?
>>63483937
It's the most played and watched because it's simple and cheap to play.
No more "head the ball" for USA babbies
>>63483970
How about you read the rest of my post you blithering idiot.
Most people here stop playing Soccer by 13 years old, unless they're Mexican or some shit.
>>63483979
maybe that's why so many americans are in poverty; you have to take a mortgage out just to buy handegg equipment.
>>63483957

Are you fucking illiterate? Seriously? Can you not fucking read? Do you not know the definition of the word "most"?
I can't tell if all aussies are driveling morons or if their trolling is just that good. I'm going to stick with the former though.
>>63484018

>>63481451
unlike basketball where fouls are completely SUBJECTIVE or football where the spots are completely SUBJECTIVE and arbitrary or baseball where balls and strikes are completely SUBJECTIVE
fuck off retard
>>63483979
baseball is popular in the Dominican republic, Venezuela and cuba. Basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines. None of those countries are from 1st world
>>63484052
yep you are
>>63484062
Baseball and basketball are also simple and cheap to play, albeit not as simple and cheap as soccer.
>>63484090
especially cheap when you steal the ball and shoes from a white guy
Football is literally too extreme for united statians.

It's called football because they kick opposing players' feet as if it's a ball.

NFL replay proved this shit meme wrong ages ago.
NFL action is about 90 minutes if there's no OT, 30 minutes longer than a divegrass game.

>mfw when an american touched a football with his head and died near me
All sports except stuff like the 100 meter sprint are subjective dumb fuck.
For example, whether holding or pass interference is called in American football is largely determined by the referee's SUBJECTIVE opinion. People argue balls and strikes in baseball all the time. Fouls in basketball.

Not all of us hate it, though. Latinos make up about 15% of the population, and most of us like soccer. I think a lot of anglo hipsters like it too.

>>63481451
Soccer is hands down the worst sport to play and watch. The amount of embellishment and crying is painful. If I wanted to watch faggots faking and crying I would stick to WWE.
Extra time is there to allow the refs to fix the games, right?
>>63488067
yes
>>63481451
But it's still subjective because the ref makes a subjective call of when to stop to the time
You're an idiot
>>63481451
Meh. Some people like anime, sime like furry stuff, some like same sex, some Luke both.
Point is soccer may suck, and it does, but leave the freaks alone

Norway loves football. Pretty much every kid plays football and watches football. Everyone supports a club. Sadly most talents have to "grow up" and sacrifice football in order to get a job. Which is why I think our NT sucks. Being a 1st worls country really hurts your NT

You do realize that NFL replay just cuts out the commercial time and not the other shit like face shots, replays, shots of the teams lining up, shots of the coach, referees decisions and touchdown celebrations. 11 minutes is the measurement of the time between the snap and the ball hitting the ground i.e. the real action.
>>63488956
Because you're all on anti depressants. Funny how that works out
There are about 110~140 plays in an NFL game. At 10 secs per play, that is about 1400secs of action (about 22 minutes)

soccer has enough playtime for 2 minutes give or take not to matter too much. if you randomly cut out two minutes of real actual playing time out of american footbal, you cut out almost a quarter of the whole game
