What the fuck is ""soccer""?
>its a they pretend that it isn't also called soccer thread
>>67526992
A word invented by the English in the late 1800s and used commonly in England until the 1980s, when some of them suddenly decided that it was an American word for some reason
>>67526881
/sp/ isn't for niche sports op

Of course it has a offseason.
>>67527040
>"please accept us, big strong Americans"
>>67527663

>>67527663

>>67526881

Can we please stop this stupid discussion.
Semantic wankery.

In uneven years (2013, 2015, 2017 etc.) there's about a 2 months break of relevant football in June & July
In even years like this one it's only like 3 weeks long (last weeks of July)
What is offseason?
Well each football league has a offseason but there is always something going on. When the club competition stops national competition starts.
>>67527338
soccer is posh
football is working class
the sport is working class
no, there is at least one game of professional football around the globe every single day, actually probably at every given time
it's a perpetual thing
>>67527759
>there's about a 2 months break of relevant football in June & July
And even then, if you're really desperate, you can watch club friendlies in July.
>>67527338
Thus, British English is incredibly stupid.

I like this post.
>>67527338
no one decided it was an american word because there are no american words, we did however decide it was obsolete
>>67528265
>there are no american words
Fleek, cuh.
>>67526881
nope.
Being as corrupt as FIFA requires effort 24-7.
>>67526881
Overall, no.
If you're not national team tier yes tho, every year around three months. When depends on the federation.
If you're national team tier (for a team that actually qualifies for tournaments) and below 21, no offseason for you. If you're over 21, once every four year (at least in Europe) in the year without WC, euros and confederations cup.

Remember to Fly Emirates!
>>67526881
In the top leagues: from late May to August. But sometimes there's a world cup.
In Scandinavia the season is from Mars-October or something.

>>67529082
What is the best footballing nation in Europe?
>>67529129
Better than every 10 second "play" being followed by 30 seconds of adverts
>>67529082
...do you think that Australia is in Europe?
...and do you think Australia is that good at football?
I... I'm dumbfounded
>>67529182

We don't pretend the NFL is working class though.
Why does handegg have a 7 month offseason?
>>67526881
>Does soccer ever have an offseason?
No, and this is a big issue because usually the top players are always tired and get injuries despite not playing a brutal sport.
>>67529293
helps them tolerate the slow pace when they are on.
>>67529293
The same reason that games are only played once a week: it's so dangerous that people would literally die if they didn't get that much rest in between. The number of injuries in the NFL is staggering, but people don't notice because 90% of the players are interchangeable 6'5" black dudes wearing helmets and masks.
Usually the season ends at the end of May and begins in the middle of August. Every two years there's a world cup or Euros from around 10th June to 10th July
>>67529293
they already play too many games as it is desu. the sports too brutal, its a genuine flaw.
who cares it's literally never enjoyable, even when you're playing it yourself, it's one of the worst sports up there with baseball
>>67529356

i'm so fucking tired of telling the etymology story of football to these nerds.
>>67530219
I think he was referring to handegg, not rounders
To be honest both could be considered professional standing given how little the ball is in play
>>67526881
Yes, during the summer, when the MLS is in full swing.

It's sacair in Irish and I've never heard that word used outside of an Irish textbook

pro diveball (i won"t call it that faggot british word soccer) looks retarded total third world sport
>>67529017
soccer has ads at literally all points in the game plus flashing ads all along the border of the field
Can someone tell me how much/if International players get paid and for what? I know they get money from a pool for tournaments, but what about friendlies? Do they get bonuses for appearances?
>>67529293
because we actually have other sports
