i dont see how my comment was nonsensical at all.  in this country soccer among non immgrant families is generally seen as a childrens game.  thats likely still popular as a childrens game because of the low cost for parents... meaning even the children of poorer families can still participate in sports.  all you need is a ball (or ball like object ie rolls when you kick it) and an open space.

You know what else is cheap? McDonalds. And I guess you're right. That's only eaten by Africans and poor immigrant families.

Now, this I don't agree with.

What? But it's cheap, so poor people can afford it! And it's easy to eat, too!


perhaps they meant your racist comment about africans and immigrants.

I'm not poor and I love McDonalds. lol It is cheap, maybe thats why McDonalds supports soccer cause its cheap and nobody likes it?

You're not getting the point here, are you? It's a pretty obvious analogy.

Hint: McDonalds = "Soccer".

Wow PS3 I seriously hope you get banned.

We don't need such close minded and ignorant people here. It's fine to not like football, but you are just trolling in every of your posts.

Funny enough you behave like a little child, so I guess football is for the grown ups then.


Why cause I don't like soccer. Judging by your sig, you're being unfair to me. So because I have a Taylor avatar all the Taylor bashers should be in trouble as well. This is so backhanded and unfair.

You don't know me. Just because I think soccer sucks doesn't mean I should be banned. Welcome to the world outside of soccer.



 

Reputation proceeds me, they told you I'm crazy, I swear I don't love the drama it loves me <3

I'm not going to bother with this thread anymore.

I would suggest though, if you're going to insult the sport that the majority of the world prefers, by calling it a sports "for women and children", I think you have some serious issues. 

And I like (OP), how you pull the sex card in some replies before, but you were sexist yourself by pinning football as a minor sport meant for women. 
 
Just give it a thought, I'm sure you'll find the inconsistencies in your own thread of "logic" in your replies in this thread

A great thread on the day the US national team won their preliminary World Cup group with a last minute goal...

I agree with you.. It's a girls game and a chidlrens game in the U.S... Takes almost as much skill as hop skotch.




That is such a horrible word. Yet, people wont call people out who use words like this. I think people here need to stop thinking outside the cliques they have with each other and stop being biased towards other members. Just because I think soccer doesn't require talent or is a girls game doesn't make me stupid.

No, it makes you ignorant. Which is far worse, because stupidity is something you're born with, while ignorance is something you choose.

Look, it's fine for you to have an opinion, if you justify that opinion. You can't just say "SOCCER SUCKS TAYLOR SWIFT ROCKS AND I HATE YOU ALL AND I CAN HAVE AN OPINION LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!", without people looking down on you.

Again, try playing football, and tell me if it's as simple as kicking a ball across a field. And if it's a girl's game, why is it the most popular sport among men in 90% of the countries of the world?

Your attitude gives a bad name to Americans, because it's the stereotypical American "everything we do is awesome" attitude which I know most people from the USA don't hold. It's fine if you don't like football. Saying it requires no skill is asinine. It's fine if you like Taylor Swift. Saying she is better than the Beatles is asinine. You'd better have some evidence if you want your opinion to be taken seriously.

And for the record, I don't even particularly like football. It's more violent than it has any right to be, and nothing of any interest happens in about 80% of each football match (especially between lousy teams). I really only find it watchable if two fantastic teams are playing, or if a fantastic team is playing a lousy team, or alternatively if I am actively supporting one of the teams. But I don't pretend that it requires no skill. It requires just as much skill as any sport.

Thats how you get your opinion across OP.

I urge a mod to check this thread out and ban the OP... he is clearly looking to cause a row.

If the topic of this was a game or a console and not a sport... and the arguments were the same from the Op then he would be looking at a ban.


why ban the op?

because it's anti-soccer?

**cough** bias **cough***


Its because he is trolling, he is lying and I certainly think those arguments he makes are to provoque, I doubt someone could actually claim football doesnt require talent, his responses dont give arguments either.

And I really doubt Ecuatorian teams only allow black people in their teams, I think its a lie, you should provide a link.

I'm being SOOOOO serious. Soccer bores me and I don't think it requires talent. That doesn't make me worthy of a ban. Stop and think about what you're saying for a second.

Well , maybe the world will move on someday.

I said most girls here play it. No men play it in the US.

So, let me get this straight.  PS3 hasn't played soccer since he was 10, and feels he's adequately experienced enough to judge the sport?

PS3, let me put this a way you can understand this: What you're doing is like me telling you Taylor Swift sucks without listening to any of her songs.  It's ignorant and it just makes you look stupid.

As a side note, I think I'm one of the few people who enjoy American sports and soccer a lot.
