The only reason Americans think they don’t like soccer is the low scores. Introduce Gaelic football scoring rules imo

Savage For The Winjun posted:Lol do you not think lebron is fast? Soccer is a sport about distance running much more so than sprinting. If you want to play at the top level as an outfield player, you pretty much need to run 5-7 miles every game. Basketball players run about half that.

If you learn passing and tackling as an adult you will always suck rear end compared to a top level pro no matter what your physique is, because they have been practicing those skills every day since they were little children, or at least whenever they aren’t busy filming themselves having sex. They’re finesse skills and just being strong or fast af isn’t a substitute for them.sassassin posted:The best players come from poor countries where people are desperate for any sort of economic escape so give it a few more years and Americans will start caring about it a lot. lol

sassassin posted:Refereeing in women's football is shockingly bad. This is actually a big problem in American men’s soccer as well. I know everyone likes to joke about MLS refs being Guatemalan ex cons or whatever but the standard of officials in the league really is worse than the standard of players.

People mock the poo poo out of American premier league plastics, including on these very forums. They’re extremely mockable tbf. Look at the weekend web thread in TRP. I mean basically it all stems from how the club game in England has utterly sold out over the last thirty years and gone from being a local community driven thing for piss drunk poor as gently caress Englishmen to publicly kill each other over on a weekend, to being worldwide megabucks marketing juggernaut for .00001% gazillionaires from wherever to sell shirts to the Americans/third worlders and prawn sandwiches to the handful of unfeeling bouge who can still afford tickets. You can’t mock the gazillionaires because they don’t give a gently caress what you think, but you can sure mock the Americans/third worlders.
