lestatdark  - Because running around kicking a ball really isn't that hard?

Naum - You need super strength. You need agility and if you don't have those, you might end up with a broken back if you play football.

MrBubbles I agree

Chrizum Thats an opinion

I can understand people not liking the sport...fair enough, but saying there is no talent is just absurd. Firstly just because "Africans can run" doesn't mean they can have full controll of the football. Also, there won't be many (any?) African teams qualifying into the next stage of the world cup. Only developed countires seem to have made it.

Football incorporates concentration, team work speed, power and precision all in a single 90 mins match. It osn't something you could just pick up by picking up a ball on your first day.

Sorry, we have better things to do with our spare time, but to kick a ball.. I think its  a boring sport.

You can't just shout out "that's my opinion and I disagree with your opinion!" without actually backing it up with arguments. Come on, try a little harder or admit that you're just trying to cause a ruckus.

Have you ever tried playing football? You can't just become a brillaint player after playing it once. You have to devleop your skill and technique over years.

It may be the case in American Football that you can just gain a few pounds at the local Mcdonalds pick up a ball and run and have the general jist of it, that certainly isn't the case for soccer.

Ok, then tell you what. Get a bunch of people together, and ask a professional football team near your residence (if you have a local football team) to play against you.

Then come back and tell me if it isn't that hard. 

If you suffer less than 10 goals, I shall consider it a victory for you. 

Seriously, the ignorance in your comment is astounding.

Throw a handegg? Hit a ball with a stick? Throw a ball in a hoop? See I can oversimplify sports as well.

IDK what you are trying to say.

What I don't like about soccer are the fans. Gosh they're annoying.

It's ok to play soccer and I really like it once in a while but watching soccer on TV and rooting for a team and then crying if they loose or kill people is just way too much. One must remember it's just a game after all.

I mean even the governement gets involved.

You are fucking kidding right?

Running around and kicking the ball about is not football. At most it is bad park football, just watch a game of football are tell me there is no skill there
