Oh Soccer
The thrill of victory
The agony of defeat
The sheer pointlessness of a 0-0 tie

A couple of ways that might make this game not suck
1) Make the goals much bigger
2) Make the goals much smaller and get rid of the goalie

2 "goals" in handegg is 12 points, not 14.

0-0 is rare in football. 0-0 is common in f0-0tball

what are you doing watching football? surely there's a soccer game going on somewhere in the world

better commercials than watching a ball go back and forth on a field

f0-0tball is boring. long stretches of nothing happening is boring. at least football has offense and defense colliding regularly.

Lol I remember doing a PhD together with an American guy. He would always rant about the possibility of football games ending in 0-0 and that it was therefore a shit tier sport compared to all the American shit you have. I would be considerate and try and explain that it's about more than scoring goals. Buildup of tension and the anxiety of your local team not to relegate etc etc. And I would still be open to watching fucking baseball and basketball where he would just sit and go >BOOYAA each time one of his 7ft niggers would score. Which was basically every minute. Haha it still makes me giggle. I would hide the fact that I despised the games and I would actually TRY and ask questions so I got to know more about the sport and maybe like it better. Fun part was that he couldn't even answer most of them. Anyway, I see you guys haven't changed much in the meanwhile

The only thing I'm surprised about is that the ball is in play for THAT LONG.

17 minutes? I watched a few games a few years ago (ironically obviously, as I got drunk with a few uni friends) and t.b.h I reckon there was maybe 6-7 minutes max of actual play.

Faking injuries in the NFL is a time-honored method of stopping the momentum of an opponent and giving your own team a much-needed breather. It's like calling a timeout in basketball when the other team is on a big run. Since soccer doesn't have the luxury of all those silly 20-second timeouts, the 20-second timeout has become the phantom hamstring tweak, and the only folks who are really harmed by it are the coaches and players who find themselves on the wrong end of a good trick.

http://deadspin.com/5843313/the-fake-outrage-over-fake-injuries-or-how-to-piss-on-an-nfl-sideline-without-anyone-seeing

NFL Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher admits to NFL teams having designated divers who fake injuries as part of the game plan:

>We had a guy who was the designated dive guy," Urlacher said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Urlacher went on to say that a Bears coach would simulate the diving motion a swimmer makes with his arms, and the player designated as the dive guy "would get hurt."

http://www.si.com/nfl/audibles/2013/09/04/brian-urlacher-dive-guy-chicago-bears-fake-injuries

As they say if nobody is trying to cheat in a competition, its not a very important competition.


Basically with the potential of gaining a competitive advantage by getting the other player penalized, there will always be those who cheat. Chicanery is very common in basketball for example.,
With literally hundreds of pro soccer leagues and thousands of pro teams, soccer can provide more examples of this type of cheating than any sport. It can also provide more cherry-picked instances of anything, by the sheer size of the sport. There are for example more clips of dogs and cats running out onto a soccer field than any other sport, more clips of drones flying into fields, more clips of naked female fans in the stands, not because its normal or accepted, but simply because there are hundreds of televised leagues to find crazy shit from.
>>
>>65002300
Actually, you can't play football with a deflated ball, however, you CAN play handegg with a deflated """"ball"""" because it doesn't really matter where it bounces or skids off to.

Seriously, when I was in school we used to play football with the brand new balls, and when it got deflated or punctured we'd throw it to the "special" kids to play rugby with. That's the non-pussy version of handegg b.t.w f.a.m. without all the helmets and body armour. Your sport is literally the dregs of sport. Your sport is literally for retards.

2/2

Take a look at the number of soccer clubs in England for example, it goes on and on and on and on and on....and that's just one of like a hundred countries.
FIFA being the corrupt organization it is has been extremely lax at punishing diving at the World Cup and there it has become a big issue, with players basically getting a free pass for diving at the World Cup. This is likely where the negative image of soccer arise in America as its the only time the sport gets any exposure in America, creating a ridiculous stigma that then cherry picked instances like this just enforce. They only ever see diving Latin players taking advantage of FIFA's shitty reffing and the occasional comedic clip of a diving soccer player on platforms like Reddit or late night comedy and this image then sticks.
If this was the norm in soccer, and if the majority of soccer players did this instead of a small minority, soccer simply wouldn't be in the position it is. It wouldn't completely dwarf every other sport in every single measure of popularity, importance, fandom and success. It would be the most hated and unpopular and unwatched sport in the world. Fortunately, diving is a tiny miniscule part of sport and hence the very opposite is reality. Americans who over exaggerate the extent of diving and use it as a way to homer their American sports really will find no audience with anyone but other Americans who hate the sport and are simply looking to confirm their biases. Its no different than the "American football has pads, lol what pussies" circlejerk that you hear so often in Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Europe...etc. People pick on this one little thing and act like ignorant idiots because it reaffirms their bias against the sport.

>my biggest beef with soccer is the fact that too often we get extended periods of the ball just bouncing back and forth with no scoring

It's called build up play. You can't just rush towards the goal and think you're gonna score. You have to open up the opposition in order to create decent chances of scoring. It takes a lot of patience, sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it does, and sometimes it goes horribly wrong and you get caught going forward and you get counter-attacked and scored on.

This, of course, is a problem for football fans. They see a narrowly missed shot the same as 4th down punt to the other team. Soccer fans see things differently. They understand the balance of play. These missed chances add to the excitement rather than take any out of it. That's how you can have an "exciting 0-0" draw. Because in the end, it's not about the goals, they're just numbers. It's about how it's played.
