soccer is popular because poorfags in dirt huts can play it.

Soccer and football jerseys suck ass by not having a big logo on them like hockey does
>>
>>64415751
But baseball is easily played anywhere, hockey Jersies are also extremely nice compared to faggot soccer jersies
>>
>>64415718
every sport is filled with cheaters floppers and cucks, whats new? you really think people don't cheat in baseball or hockey?
>>
>>64415751
What's wrong with accessibility? Soccer is really fun to play. I grew up in Eastern Europe and we always played soccer in the summer, and hockey in the winter. Today I'd much rather play soccer. It's such a pain in the ass to get ice time, find other hockey dudes, buy all the shit, maintain all the shit, etc.

>>64415768
Yes but not like in soccer, it's not illegal In soccer because the morals are gone
>>
>>64415779
Hopefully the sport will become less corrupt with Blatter gone, but I don't get why people always complain about what sport is better and why sports suck.. all sports are fucking retarded if you really think about it.

>why isn't the sport I like as popular as soccer :(

Because your sport is shit, kid.

>not reading my actual statement
You have the reading skills of a 3rd grader mate. You have to understand that it's a sport that is everywhere meaning that it's all over the world just like hockey except it's in Africa

i hate this meme. a sport doesnt just get popular for no reason. if it is popular, then most likely there are redeeming qualities to it. is anyone ever going to make this thread and actually criticize the sport instead of just talking shit about the people who play it? cheaters alone dont make the sport bad, if that was the case then every sport would be bad. more popular = more money = more cheaters uncovered, but it doesnt mean that other sports dont have a similar amount of cheaters proportional to the amount of people who play it

No, it's everywhere because it's popular.

Also hockey is not popular.

>baseball

God no. I'd say baseball requires as much skill and concentration, but not near the athleticism, while being just as boring to watch. Also, no one outside the Americas, Australia and Japan or Korea care for it.

>hockey
More exciting, but doesn't appeal if you can't play it coming up, though, whether due to equipment or climate. Doesn't appeal to Africa, the Muslims, South America, SE Asia.

Soccer appeals because all you need is a ball, so all the poors play it. I hate to say it but it's a worldwide unifier with the exception of America whose youth give up on it after 12 because they move on to other sports or have better things to do that don't involve raping goats as a pastime like third worlders.

DESU senpai the closest to matching what soccer does is basketball. Don't need much to play that one either, but it doesn't have near the history and tradition or accessability as soccer, so it languishes behind it as an option for poors to get behind.

Soccer is pretty bad. I attempted to watch the recent arsenal v. man city match.

It was so lame. It's kind of like a bloated version of hockey (or hockey is a condensed version of soccer).

A lot of soccer fans shit on baseball for being boring, but soccer is really just as boring as baseball. Cite "action" and "movement" all you want, but it's true. And I like baseball. Baseball just has a lot of saccharine American nostalgia surrounding it, which makes it easy to shit on.

It's a cultural thing, I guess. And I think that's why it is becoming more popular in America among gays and bohemians--it's "different," "so worldly, so European."

Indoor soccer is more exciting for the simple fact that the field is smaller. Too much play goes on mid-field for soccer to be exciting for me.

They are all in the IIHF but only 10 make the relevant tournaments. The WJC that's happening right now has Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, U.S.A & Belarus. Germany was in it last year but got relegated because pic related was in the NHL.

I was using your logic of a country having a governing body equating to a sport being popular in that country. Clearly.

The chinese men's team is ranked lower than Great Britain ffs.

Luckily I am from Russia originally where Hockey is number 2 sport. Living in the states I don't live far from a MLB team and a few AAA AA and A teams so I've grown to love baseball, hockey, and soccer. Not to mention Football.
Basically what I'm saying is it's good to like all the sports. I'm never bored.

I bought a Brossit puck but it might be a while before he gets called up.

http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/bogdan-yakimov/
I think I will get big Bo's autograph now since he is a big guy that would get called up in case of an injury.
Anton Slepev might be a good pick too. I regret not getting JJ Kharias sig so i could jew it to some rich Indian somewhere

Either way the pucks only cost $8 each and they came with a plastic puck protector case.

I wouldn't even care if hockey "died" on an international level and no one cared about it. Canadians will still watch and play and at the very least there'd be a professional league composed of only Canadian teams. It really doesn't matter to me if other countries enjoy it or not

soccer is popular because its accessible.
anyone can kick a ball around, regardless of wealth or climate. Therefore more people kick that ball around and take an interest in other people kicking the ball around. But like most globalist things its actually shit.

Hockey is another "rich" sport, it can never have global appeal. But at least other "rich" countries are getting in on it now, Australia has their own leagues etc.

Baseball does have more global appeal than people acknowledge especially in Latin America and Asia but its a bit too boring/slow for rowdy young drunks to get into it and people are afraid to give Africans bats.
