We all know that European "football" is a broken game. At its highest level it is grown men running wind sprints while kicking a ball. This game while lovely enough on its own is of course Interspersed with about 20 mins of those same men rolling on the ground milking "injuries" worse than any two year old. Mercifully if you can sit through all that they end the tedious 0-0 tie with penalty kicks to decide a winner. That being said, however much I may hate the sport at least the world cup always gave me one good reason to tune in. That reason, smoking hot babes. Thankfully FIFA has decided to save us from the scourge of sexy exotic women flooding our TV screens every four years. As we speak they are making plans to restrict the amount of air time given to attractive female fans in the crowd. All I can say is thank you FIFA diversity chief Federico Addiechi. Future generations will look back on this bold move as the first step in killing this god awful sport once and for all. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/fi...ocid=spartandhp (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

this year I've heard more Americans talk about soccer than any other sport because, hate to break it to you, but most sports are terrible I'd say the list went soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, and a far distant football

I really do loving hate how the whole injury milking thing has just become so completely accepted as part of the game. I mean it’s not like they teach kids to do that when they’re first learning how to play soccer (at least I didn’t learn that, maybe it’s different now in our current Hellworld). It’s really just something the chucklefucks making millions of dollars decided to start doing, and the fan base was like “Eh, okay.”

Along the same lines, baseball is becoming unbearable. It's a direct result of the shift in the game philosophy to smash as many home runs as possible. Baseball games have become a monotonous slog of occasional home runs, a ton of strike outs, and nothing else. The action which made baseball fun to watch in its heyday (bunting, stealing bases) is gone.

Also the Sweden England game was amazing because all the Brits looked like muddy goblins made of lumpy turnips gurning and moaning while the Swedish crowd were all healthy, beautiful happy people

Did you know that hockey has a 2 minute penalty for “diving/embellishment”? Soccer should have the same thing.

wow thanks for the hot take, dipshit american retard, who lives in a country where the most popular sport's gamecasts show literally less than 10% of actual gameplay and 55%+ of players standing around or commercials. i really appreciate your opinion on a sport where your massive and insanely rich country can't even beat loving Trinidad and Tobago on a regular basis. i am glad for this post and your continued existence in this universe, op

All spectator sports are bad, and every professional sports organization exists soley to configure the original game to maximize commercial time slots. That's not including the pregame, postgame, sports radio and fantasy football and lovely videogames and misc branding and all the other things they do to squeeze more money out of bloated manbabies who remember that one time when they were 8 years old and their inattentive father came to a single little league game and ended up fingering my friend Jimmy's mom in her Chevy Cavalier. gently caress YOU DAD! ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW?!?!

Also don't kid yourself into thinking your country would have a chance if we gave one good god drat about soccer. You are bragging about being able to beat guys who are literally the lowest tier of pro athlete we produce. Soccer is the last option for guys who couldn't make our D3 college bowling rosters.

This world cup is amazing because 1 guy was actually punished somewhat for faking an injury (yellow card). Yesterday's game (also amazing) was great because ref chose a different method of punishment - he just decided not to stop the game anymore and if you want to lie down while your team lacks a player - your choice.

Yeah plus at least golf is relaxing to watch. Soccer announcers are way too excited by nothing at all happening and if the stars align and someone actually scores they lose their poo poo amd scare the dog out of the room.
