why dont americans like football (soccer)

[ibby1995]

srs worlds most popular sport especially in europe, south america and africa yet a big country like the U.S dont like it whats wrong with you yank brahs? also why the fuk you call american football "football" and football "soccer"? you use your feet in soccer hence the word foot you should just call it football ffs

[whopperJr]

americans prefer football (not soccer) because they like the sport of having men in tights chase another guy in tights with a ball that isn't even round

take a fukken joke *******s

[magog704]

a lot of us like soccer. i watch it all the time on tv bc i fukkin hate baseball. so why don't you stop generalizing.

[andyray]

because it's not american/thread

[BertofPeace]

srs answer is probably cause we arent really that great at it, MLS is decent, but nowhere near good enough to get that type of attention, same goes for our national team

I am a fan if that matters

[HumptyBrah]

We don't like SOCCER because *******s like you insist on trying to push the word football onto it to confuse us and make us think it's actually a sport

u mad

Eurobrah here, I dislike football. Generally I find it incredibly boring. BRB watching a game for 90 minutes of people doing this;



I do like watching Derbys/Finals though because it's a great atmosphere and of course I watch the world cup.

[osterlo]

I think because of the argument of which one should have the name "football"

[descartesmorals]

because it's not american/thread

all sports are british

[Revzman]

A hell of a lot more Americans watch football (soccer) than non-Americans watch NFLball/handegg.

I'm fairly certain that the lack of competitiveness is due to our lack of interest in it, not the other way around. Soccer is the glamour sport in like 90% of the world, yet it's 5th or 6th on the totem pole here. If our best athletes all focused on soccer instead of a bunch of other shiit, we'd probably dominate.

[dukethedog]

It's boreing there is no action they constantly fake injuries like a bunch of sad **** s

[ibby1995]

because it's not american/thread

well soccer was invented in china apparently yet its way more popular here and in south america than in the US so that aint no excuse

[wisdommaster1]

I find it boring, and the diving rustles my jimmies. I enjoy watching hockey more than any other sport

[darkninja67]

It is boring: kick the ball over there, go get it, kick it the other way, go get it.

this, except baseball >

[HardWiredZ]

I like playing soccer

[tbonez3858]

As an American I played soccer but I hate watching soccer.

[Beauuu]

Brb 1 hour until someone scores

[EEbrah]

Because we suck at it and it is not ingrained in our culture like it is in South America and Europe.

I like it though, minimal commercials and the crowds are awesome. As far as people complaining about flopping, it's no worse than basketball.

[HipsterBert]

I'm from America and i love soccer. I plan on playing next semester for my school, i can't wait!

[HumptyBrah]

It is boring: kick the ball over there, go get it, kick it the other way, go get it.

This. brb 90 minutes of no scoring.

u mad

Why do you guys try and push what you play onto us?American football,is their anything more boring?

[x1Dylan1x]

IMO it's just not fun .

There's not enough physical contact for me . If I can't hit anybody there's no point in me playing .

[Spoderman1]

im from europe and i only watch NBA

[osterlo]

I'm not a huge fan but lol at it being boring^^

it's actually exciting. it gets intense when someone is going for a goal

[nosaj7]

brb wasting 2 hrs watching a game that ends with a score of 1 - 0


NFL>UFC>Boxing>NBA>College Football>NASCAR>Baseball>>>>>>>Womens NBA>Soccer

[rogan12]

It is really slow moving, and there arent many goals.

I'm convinced the only reason soccer is so popular world wide is because it is cheap to play. A lot of people in poor countries cant afford to play other sports so they are stuck with soccer.

I'd watch soccer if it was full contact srs.

[dagtanian22]

In any case im British and i find football boring so i can understand why Americans dont go for it.Much prefer Rugby,both league and union.

[HumptyBrah]

You mean when someone gets near the goal with the ball and then kicks it 15 feet over the net?

Yeah real exciting.
