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

other than playing fifa, i respect soccer and watch highlights at time but i dont really care for it

1. No top American athletes
2. No historic ties
3. No international success

You also have to have a culture around the sport for it to be popular and in this country there really isn't any.

I've been a soccer diehard fan since 1997. I guess taping Juventus and Roma games in HS, I was always a passionate fan. That said, its very difficult and the skill level is amazing and wonderful.

I feel you. It’s mad easy to take down a 60 yard pass from the air with your foot, and then in two touches beat a world class defender and a top level goalkeeper.

"world class defender" ..if any of us kicked a soccer ball 30 yrds only to watch someone else kick it in a net...we wouldn't call that a skill...we would call it luck. The same would apply to a pro soccer player...because even the best ones can't do it consistently..

I fukks with tennis so i cant een complain about soccer lol

 

[Gangstar8]

It's the beautiful game

What's there not to like

 

[PortCityProphet]

I agree. Look at this average shyt after 90 minutes.

Genuine question...how often does something like this happen?

You are an idiot. This is the equivalent to anyone can bulldoze to the basket if you as big as LeBron. Anyone can pass like Trae, Luka, or Jokic, it's not hard. Just pass it.

Just admit it, you don't understand shyt about this game and you really don't have to the interest to learn

American sports be so entertaining most fans tune in only for the play-offs and 4th quarter of games and dont get me started on the halftime show being more important than the game itself

ya its not for everyone, just like how most of the world cant spend 3 hours to watch 20 min of action for a 3.5-2 score

There is a winner

This is just another version of the "I could beat an NBA bench player 1-to-1 on a good day" thread

Soccer isn’t popular because regular level nikkas/ppl in general will never embrace it, the slow scoring and more importantly…U.S. isn’t dominant at it so we don’t give a fukk.

Plus Americans, myself included, are more concerned with the aesthetic of the sport…like what you said, soccer players look like shyt compared to our elite. We don’t give a fukk about endurance sports or low scoring sports outside of baseball/golf which most consider a niche sports anyway

Get that tour de France shyt outta here. Let the rest of the world have that wack ass shyt and I don’t care who’s offended by it, don’t quote me

A Last minute goal of that quality in a World Cup knockout match? Not regularly. Just like you rarely see a last second, 65 yard touchdown run in the NFL/CFB.

No one gives a fukk if it pops in America; The fact of the matter is that it is the most popular sport in the world

I don't care for soccer either but most persons outside of America find American football boring as well. American football doesn't even crack the top 5 most popular sports in the world.
