If the US was good at soccer, most of you here would be saying "SOCCER = GOAT sport"

[Judge_Joe_Brown]

Let's face it.

[lced]

Nah with 90% of the brahs on here the GOAT sport is whatever sport their daddy loves the most.

Same case for me, no hate

[DrakeParker]

Haters gon hate

[davidjas]

but soccer is goat sport....

i dont know how u can watch a sport that is paused every minute and u have to watch fuken commercials

[BloodofDante]

Any sport that has 150 lb Euro****s as stars isn't a real sport.

NFL is a man's league.

[HammZ]

Soccer has more global popularity because anybody can play it, if you have a field and a ball you can play.

Let's look at hockey, way more entertaining, physical, fast paced, but if you don't have money you cannot play it so it won't get a global following like soccer does.

Haters gon hate

Have you ever even been to Spain? I don't get supprting teams you have no connection to.

[PermaBulk610]

NFL and NHL are goat. Baseball is a very distant third. And basketball is awful. But even basketball is so far above soccer it's not even funny. Soccer is easily the worst sport ever. I'd rather watch strongman competitions and nascar before I turn on soccer

[headinahole]

Well yeah, we're bad at it b/c we don't care.

If we actually cared we'd dominate, just like every other sport.

[DrakeParker]

Have you been to Barcelona?

[Judge_Joe_Brown]

Have you been to Barcelona?

International teams*. Why don't you just support USA? I don't support Spain.

This, no hate because I played when I was a kid and was a great striker, but majority of players are wusses who start crying the moment physical contact is made.
Comparing soccer to rugby and mma says a lot

I would say NHL (interchangeable with NFL I love hockey though > NFL > College basketball > baseball > soccer > NBA

[xevolution]

Nah bro, the US isn't a third world country

[NukYavlen]

[BoomhauerMane]

Let's be honest the top United States athletes don't even play soccer and if they did then the rest of the world would lose just like they do in most other sports.

[Kepar]

ITT we discuss why this sport is better than that one and then argue about it and call each other ****s and finally come to no intelligent conclusion

[failureplus1]

Let's face it.

wow did you come up with that theory all by yourself?



you must be a sociology expert!

[Beachbum1546]

no one plays soccer in the US except little girls. if all the good athletes grew up playing soccer the US would wreck the entire world.

[Judge_Joe_Brown]

Also, the average American can't watch anything for more than 3 minutes without an ad.

flawed argument is flawed.. Do you really honestly believe we would be pissed if they took out the commercials from a basketball game or an American football game? Nobody would care. It's consumerism and it is everywhere. Not our choice and it is definitely not anything that anybody I know likes.

NFL? You mean commercials and replays?

the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes.

...

... and more than 100 commercials.

You guys just don't get it. Soccer is beautiful . It takes skill and finesse something Americans know nothing about. "Flopping" is an art form these are not just skilled athletes but skilled actors. NFL is just big fat fukks hitting each other while wearing armor, they are not athletes. American Football games are stopped every 10 seconds, but in real Football the clock still runs and the game continues even if nothing is really happening 90% of the time

[Bear Grylls]

Im from the UK, but lets be honest, if Soccer was the #1 sport in the US, they would be pretty good and certainly a top 10 just by looking at the population and athletes they produce alone.

If the US was good at soccer it would mean it was a sport they played more regularly and thus they would be better. It is because they do not play it that they are not good at it and vice versa.

But the rest of the world already knows football is the GOAT anyway.

[OPISAPHA]

Lettuce be real tea, if the US pooled all their athletics talent into soccer then they would have an incredibly dominant team, like the Brazil team on steroids times ten.

and then they add an arbitrary amount of extra time on at the end.

[DasPhilosopher]

No. American football. Goat.

[BB4239]

I personally love watching commercials, because everyone now and then, there is NFL or NBA in between. It's great.

Trust me I understand soccer and I do love watching the World cup honestly (don't care for club matches) but there is a great deal of skill involved in basketball, football, and baseball as well. We don't grow up watching and most of us don't grow up playing soccer. And that is why nobody cares. Although it is getting bigger in the States. It is an awesome game and the last 15 minutes of a close match is pretty exhilarating.

Population means fuk all, Uruguay are a poverty ass country with a population of 3 million who invest waaaay less in soccer than the US. Look at how well they do. The "if Americans wanted to, they'd be number 1 in soccer!!!" argument is completely flawed, and wishful thinking.

[Bear Grylls]

The slow play, dividing games into quarters and constant breaks between plays or what not allow for this though. Football is pretty much non stop for 45mins and there is no time for adverts.
