Yes, I do. You do realize what a super-star is right? Van Persie, Sneider, and Robin are all great players, but they aren't superstar' imo. Ronaldo and Messi are the only ones I would consider superstars right now. Everybody else is too far behind them



Yeah, and no mention of any Spanish players let me know that you are way out of your league on this.



Oh and this guy is a superstar as well, in every sense of the word



There are way more superstars than Messi and Ronaldo, you just don't watch or follow a lot of soccer so you really can't comment on it.

I could mention 25 guys at minimum that are unarguably superstars of the game, and this idiot wouldn't get it.

why do you think bradyball was hated?


I always thought it was his tendency to run off all our good players.

Soccer is the easiest sport to play, that is why it is played world wide. Sport is garbage.


What an ignorant and dumb statement. I played football, soccer and basketball throughout high school. Basketball was by far easier than the other two but football and soccer were on the same difficulty.

Soccer is the hardest sport to just pick up and play for the first time. If you don't grow up playing soccer, it's much more difficult to become good at it. Good foot-eye coordination is far more difficult to obtain then hand-eye

False. All you have to do is kick a ball into a giant goal. That's so easy.

No one wants to sit around and see a game end 1-0 if they don't understand what's going on.

When people tuned in to the World Cup, they were watching Spain vs The Netherlands. Ratings didn't suffer just because neither Ronaldo or Messi were playing.


because its the goddamn world cup, a once in 4 year event

to say that soccer isn't superstar driven is ridiculous.

I know, right? Kickball and soccer are identical sports. You dominated the Greater Cleveland Elementary School circuit, should've gone pro with your talent. Better yet, you should just call up Barcelona and demand a tryout.

I've been to 4 games. Two US National Team games and 2 Chelsea games in London and I've seen a total of 20 goals scored in those four games.

Soccer has a bunch of superstars, but I wouldn't call it superstar driven.

Soccer isn't superstar driven because of the size of the sport. Think if it was like the NBA and Robben, Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xabi, Xavi, Rooney, RVP, Falcao, Eto'o, Zlatan, Silva, Aguero, Suarez, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Gotze, Balotelli, Gerrard, Ribery, Pato and Neymar all played in the same league. The sport has dozens of superstars.
