I disagree with your assertion that Futbol (Soccer) requires no skill.

But after playing the sport for 10 years, I can agree that the sport is boring and tedious.


Someone who is not being biased! Finally. Thankyou

Unbiased because they are agreening with you?

Bit biased of you imo.

And with that i'm done. The mods will be here soon.


Let's hope so. This thread is just an attempt to rile up people.

Because I'm disagreeing? This is really unfair. I DONT HAVE TO LIKE SOCCER IF I DONT WANT TO. If you love it, fine, go praise it somewhere that people don't want to. This thread is for people who dislike soccer.

I have no problem with you dislking football at all. I have a problem with ignorant statements like "it takes no skill" without backing it up with facts. You won't even respond normally to people disagreeing with you, that's why this thread is one huge clusterfuck which you created.

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!

Excuse me? Taylor's talent is light years beyond anyone who has ever played soccer in their life. She is this generations John Lennon.

I wasn't talking about Soccer, I just thought it was ironic you having a Taylor Swift avatar and questioning the talent of anything.

Taylor swift is not very talented, she is very bland and boring and only sounds half-decent because she abuses the auto-tune. Comparing her to John Lennon is an insult.

Listen to her live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoMF3TsNWFA OUCH! What would Simon say to that? :P

Anyway, sorry to de-rail the thread but that needed saying.

In terms of international popularity: Soccer > all other sports.

Hm, I dislike football because I don't like watching any sports, it's so popular across Europe it's barely escapable right now, and its fans (the ones in the streets before and after a game can be scary).

I did like playing it in school though, and it takes a fair bit of skill even on that level. I was never good at it while I was 1st~3rd at both sprinting and running.


I don't understand why the fans get so mad so easily?

 

Yeah, it seems like its played a lot in 1st to 5th grade.



 

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

BUY TAYLOR'S NEW ALBUM REPUTATION!!

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.

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.




now i certainly dont like soccer all that much, but i think you calling people that like soccer retards is a little harsh.

That wasn't me that was "FootballFan"

You're not alone. I like many other sports, but i find soccer extremely boring to watch and not fun to play.

I notice how upset people get when past legends get compared to women.. We live in such a sexist world. I get yelled at when I call soccer for girls.. So what if it was for girls?

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.


I'm not doing anything wrong. Please leave me alone. You're being incredibly insensitive toward my opinions and I dislike it. If you don't like what I'm saying DONT READ IT.

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.


I'm sorry but it does make you AT LEAST very ignorant if you don't provide sensible reasons to say those things. This is a GLOBAL board and your comments ARE stupid if you take that into account and DON'T provide good arguments to back up your words.
