I don't like soccer because the refs took away the game winning goal from the USA!!!!!!!!!

Fact: Earthbound is the greatest game ever made

Or how about American's don't like games where the referees believe they are demigods and make erroneous decisions that cannot be reviewed that change the outcome of matches.

Mike from Morgantown

That's why we love baseball so much, right? Regardless, the officiating today has been terrible. Anyone watch the match before the US one? Seven yellow cards!

I like american football and basketball

but I gotta say there is probably no sport where the crowd is as crazy as in soccer

the fans at a football and baseball game are only eating and chatting

(rugby is too sick , it's like american football soccer and ultimate fighting combined)

Hmm, is that so? Let's see...

Football fans - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQGHpsFLms8

Soccer fans - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2vpVKsAqIA

Basketball fans - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egAUb6dIh6Q&feature=related

I think this proves otherwise

Football, Baseball and Basketball fans do crazy things...

but Soccer fans are a LOT worse... as a whole and in general. You'll have the isolated incidents in other sports, but they are much more prevelent in soccer. Things like Flares getting thrown on the field, bags of urine... (you don't see that in the USA.) etc.

If you're going to show off crazy college basketball fans, at least choose the right group (this is coming from a UNC fan):

Since we're talking UNC Duke...

Actually, as immigration into the US continues at major rates Soccer is gaining in popluarity. Also American's are begining to love the sport as well!

E.G

USA has more fans than any other country at the world cup (excluding South Africa...)

40k USA

35K England

25k Germany

Not bad for a country that hates soccer
