Yeah, there's so much to understand. Shite we all grew up playing soccer, and we're still hearing this nonsense from Soccer fans against people who just don't happen to like the sport..."you don't understand it."

Yeah, because it's so much more complicated than American sport...


And as if understanding it would make it immune from dislike - as if it's impossible to understand soccer and dislike it.

... we can't fathom the intricate brilliance of footy - American football is #1 in this country - but I guess that's a dumb sport and not much to learn because we are all so dumb...we can understand the extreme detail of American football but can't understand soccer.

Same tired tune from your crowd.

Soccer in America is the art house movie snob version of sports.




This is literally the stupidest thing I've ever read on here.

What's even sadder is that you don't even realize that you are being the snob.

And the Brits do the same thing with American football as your crowd does with soccer.

They deride "unsophisticated fans" who think American football is just Rugby in pads. And they latch onto American football because it's a niche sport in their country...and they are British snob American Football fans who hate their own football/soccer.

So you are not doing anything new, soccer board fan. It's such a cliche, that entire board.

how mad kickball girls get when someone says the slightest negative thing about their hobby. It's amusing.


Ahh the old "I have no real argument to base my ridiculous post on so I'll just claim the other guy is mad post. "

I've also never played an organized soccer match, or an unorganized one for that matter. Doesn't make your original post any less silly.

I lol'd at you calling soccer fans snobs after everything you said. If that was you intended outcome then you nailed it.

the soccer board is honestly probably the best board on here right now (what the MSB used to be like)

I wish ESPN would do this with soccer & hockey.


It must be exhausting to not care about things you supposedly don't care about.
