After watching 5 mins of soccer at the gym I see why it'll never pop in America

[L&HH]

Y’all kill me with this tie shyt or hating low scores. If football didn’t randomly make a touchdown 6 points, add an extra 1-2 point to it in the form of a extra point kick or two point conversion, and create a participation trophy way to score in the field goal, y’all nikkas would be watching 120 mins of commercials and 20 mins of the ball in movement for 2-3 scores as well

Plenty of highlights between scoring though. Moving the chains, a difficult catch, a sack, int, fumble, qb escaping a rush and making a play, 3rd down conversion, 4th down conversion, long punt/kick return, tackle for loss, pass deflection. I will say this football isn't that fun to watch live or at least it's better to watch in tv. Soccer and hockey on the other hand are fun as shyt to watch live but lack more on tv.

Lol @ conversions being a highlight. Whatever y’all need to tell yourselves to feel good about stanning a 3hr product with 20 mins of actual ball in play

THATS NOT WHY LOL

 

[supertrekker]

I'm not saying that it doesn't....but so do skilled positions in other pro sports.... for example...I think it'd be easier to turn a RB/CB/SS/WR into a soccer player than to turn a soccer player into a pro football player...furthermore pro football players can demonstrate their skill with a measurable outcome in yards gained, and TDs scored....soccer players really can't...scoring 1 out of 15 attempts every 3 games isn't evidence of any skill imo...which essentially just makes them skilled foot shakers. All that incredible footwork doesn't translate into anything worthwhile. Hence why you see people running around for 3 hours in a 1-0 score.

Every sport requires great footwork but only in soccer do you have to do it with a ball between your legs. And try stopping one of those free kicks or penalty shots.

 

[010101]

it's the most skill intensive of all ballgames honestly*

 

[Bboystyle]

OP is a space midget, pay him no mind

I didn't say anyone can do it i said it LOOKS like anyone can do it.
Endurance doesn't make for amazing TV. Check the Olympics during the distance events. Built in shytter break.

So why not try out for the national team if looks easy!

 

[Teal.]

Terrible take.

basketball and baseball are not local

baseball im pretty sure is even more popular in Japan than soccer is.

Not close to soccer popular worldwide not even close!

 

[ABlackMan]

I played both. Basketball is way easier to pick up. You have players like Olajuwon, Embiid and Siakam start ball as teenagers and make it right to the top.

Saying this is Tim Duncan a better player starting in highscool and becoming what he did vs a player coming out of high school?

 

[---]

To all the people disparaging a sport that is watched by half the planet cut it out! Just say you don't like it and move on.

 

[Rigby.]

Yeah that’s why…golf and baseball have been the backbone of this country for centuries…they look pretty athletic

 

[phcitywarrior]

I always say this. You gotta play a sport a couple times to appreciate / understand the mechanics. You may not love the sport, but you can appreciate what it takes to be successful.

 

[Frieza]

Football is the single greatest sport to grace this earth and that is the objective truth.



There's a certain unique beauty and sophistication to the game that I just don't feel from American sports.
