Forums - General - Anyone really dislike soccer?

Ps3 on 23 June 2010

I like other sports, but soccer to me just doesn't strike as a talent. I didn't want to post this in the soccer thread because I didn't want to upset the fans. So can this thread be here for the people who have a different opinion on soccer, for the americas who know soccer still isn't popular here and will never be. Thanks!

Well, anyone is entitled to their opinion.

But I would like to know why you think that football involves no talent?

honestly, i dont mean to be offensive or anything...but to me its just always seemed its like the sport for poor countries...like running.  i had a kenyan teacher and she told me that all they had to do as a kid was to run.  its easy to make a ball, so its just one of those things that countries do when they cant afford to play sports that require equipment.

disliking a sport is one thing, but thinking it involves no skill strikes me as utter stupidness.

That's why Western European contries, of which some are richer than the US, love football, right?

Given that in most of the developed countries in the world football is the primary sport, that theory is way off.

The same could be said for Basketball or Baseball too, as most of the equipment needed is cheaply available to anyone, especially to the poorer south american countries were Baseball is a major sport.

Funny, I think that almost every other sport that is not football doesn't involve much skill :P

 

Now, more seriously, I think you have not watched good games or good players. For me, the gratest goals in football are more spectacular than any other great scores in other sports.

The post given until now against football are utter garbage and dumb, not really much to make their point on why they dislike it...
