Football - throw bean bag flags

Hockey - sit in timeout

Baseball - lol there are no fouls

Most hockey fights are swing and miss until they fall down and then the ref jumps in.

I like hockey though.

Flopping at mid field for no real reason other than trying to get the other guy a card...bad


i agree. Altho it has some strategic advantages. if the defender thinks that his opponents flopping has the refs attention , he may tend to back off some of the aerial challenges

Don't hate soccer.

I'll watch the World Cup b/c it has athletes from around the world. But by and large, soccer is not played by the best athletes in the U.S. There is less incentive to follow it.

Everyone likes goals, but I think what separates soccer fans from those who are ambivalent, apathetic, or antagonistic to it is the ability to enjoy the build up to goals or near goals, and not the actual goals themselves.


You're right, there's nothing better than almost busting a nut and then have the chick slap your dick and you never get to hit the GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

I agree that this is the case... And while I play soccer alot I must admit that I find it a bit difficult to watch.

This may be your dumbest statement yet. Maybe it's the company you keep.

Go watch an LSU club game. Those guys are just normal students. Far from the elite, but if you come away thinking they are pussies you are as dumb as you sound here.

Boring, no scoring, etc. To each his own.

But your statements are simply stupid.

I'm almost 99% positive most of you on this board couldn't hang for 5 minutes in our indoor soccer league. Your insides would probably feel like they want to be on your outside. Not to mention it's much more physical than you could ever imagine. And oh btw, "Futbol" was created long before "American football" was created.

but what frustrates me is the extent to which the international soccer player takes it. Rolling on the ground in agony only to jump up as soon as a card is issued is not enjoyable to watch as a fan

You obviously don't like soccer, but you are just nitpicking so you can make reasons to not like it.

whineyness is subjective. comparing "whineyness" is silly and pointless. you said whining about calls was exclusive to soccer. i provided a counter-example. you retort with a completely different argument now.

you need to pay attention more.

anyway, i've never understood why people talked massive amounts of shite about a sport. it's just a sport.

Pilot Tiger, i think, has the most compelling argument. frick circus horns

for every fricking vagina soccer player, there's a vinnie jones, stig tofting, roy keane, lee bowyer, etc. i mean, come on, soccer gave us the fricking juggernaut. THE JUGGERNAUT

I'll never forget what Rick Reilly said about soccer players.

"If these guys get so much as grazed by a shoe lace they are rolling around on the field like an extra from the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan."

I see no fault in the man's statement.
