I read the thread title and I thought it said Sorcerer is so bad and I came in fully prepared to defend the 1977 cult classic

Sorcerer does have a disappointing lack of actual sorcery

Nobody I know gives a gently caress that americans don't play football. It's more like they are silly people, and proud of it, let them its their thing. On other hand no matter how world champioships suck, there is something glorious how the entire world unites for once to kick ball and enhoy the gently caress out of it. for Americanos here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01aV_PbiT30 Sekenr fucked around with this message at 11:47 on May 25, 2019 |

I think rugby roughly translates to basketball here in America in that regard

I think soccer is cool and I dig that it's the world's sport and wish USA would embrace it but unfortunately I doubt it ever happens. Outside of like what, ATL, Orlando, Portland and Seattle nobody gives a gently caress about the MLS. I think the thing that is most cringy is Americans who go extra hard on MLS copying stuff that fans do in the rest of the world that actually care about soccer. I saw a group of Revs fans come in a sports bar and made the bar change it to the Revs game because it wasn't even on and they had the full scarves and face paint on. I also heard about rival soccer hooligan gangs for the NY Red Bulls which in my head is a bunch of guys who watched Green Street Hooligans once and is just the most pathetic thing of all time. Gillette Stadium obviously holds both the Patriots and Revolution. One charges $50 to park and one is free. You can make that guess easily.

MLS fan culture is loving cringeworthy as hell, no doubt, but it could be worse (look at like Italian fan culture, or Eastern European fan culture of choice) and I think it isn’t the worst thing about the league. If nothing else they’re asses in seats. Live attendance in MLS is actually pretty decent these days by world standards. If anything else about the league was as good as its attendance figures I’d be overjoyed. Revs fans are a strange breed because they have been dragging their asses out to Foxboro 20 times a year for 20 years, during like 5 of which has the team been any good even by the league’s lovely standard. Anyone who’s still doing that by now has to be a bit touched.

I think it'd be bonkers for the team. But I guess he's too busy with handjobs or whatever.

Soccer is fuckin dope because it allows for a huge license for creativity that a great sport like american football does not allow for. The best american football highlights you'll find are barry sanders. The man was athletic enough but he was not a freak of nature, he was also a genius of the game. Compare messi, or a lesser dude like totti or pirlo, and sanders' highlights look like dogshit. The best sports allow for individual creative brilliance, soccer is one of the highest among those, along with hockey and gretzky, and that's why it's so good.

soccer is like chess it’s all about positioning like sometimes you kick the ball behind you and charge forward and your teammate kicks it back to you past the opponent and if you keep that going and you might finally hit that 0-0 tiebreaker

I don’t get why people complain about how long soccer goal celebrations go on for. Compare the length of goal celebrations in other sports to how long it takes to score and you’ll find the amount of time is properly scaled

Americans just don't get soccer, but I genuinely hope they will one day fans chanting at a seattle game -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KQJwuIxtCU jfc lmao Compare this cringefest to a low-tier indonesian club -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe5lr6tGEaM or just about any team from argentina ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5TAYRug7Mw

The clubs are built around sectarian rivalries and have literally fanatical followings. It's insanely tribal even by football standards.

Even with the referee allowed to add on as much time as he wants Cardiff managed to have two games this season where the ball was in play for less than 45 of the 90 minutes.

Most of them are central/south Americans ime. But NY area stuff is a crazy mix of just about everyone. If you’re adventurous you get to chant in other languages: Baila metro baila Baila del corazon Viva la coca, la marijuana, la prostitution

NBC did some soccer thing near Fenway for the Premier League recently and it was basically a line of people with soccer scarves and gear of Premier League teams in the middle of New England winter at 8am waiting to get in and order pints. It was like LARPing for 30-something year old yuppies.

the cringiest thing about MLS isn't the fans, it's people who don't shut the gently caress up about fans. i like how the absolute dumbest sports like lacrosse get a free pass but soccer fans owning a scarf is suddenly the cringiest thing in the universe. there are plenty of things to be mad about in sports that you don't need to go out and invent more. as a German the whole goofy HEY GUYS LOOK AT ME I THINK MLS IS DUMB AREN'T I SO SMART schtick Americans do to impress other soccer fans is probably at least ten million times worse than some scrandom watching a game at a bar with a scarf

Who would ever give lacrosse a pass? Both the players and the fans are terrible, both are full of rich MAGA shitheads. It's arguably worse.

I knew a guy who would wake up at stupid hours to watch Arsenal, despite never having been or knowing anyone from there. He just wanted a footie team and chose them and he would not miss a game
