Americans will go back to not watching soccer and hating it again as soon as the US loses.

Yup, that's why NBC has a contract with the EPL. Don't let facts get in the way your ignorance though.thavoice;1631918 wrote:Its ok.

I get the scoring argument, but to me, it holds no weight.
In baseball, the average game is like 7 runs I think. In soccer, it is probably 3 goals...maybe a little more or less (probably a little more). The time of a game is HALF of what baseball is, so scoring is about as even as you can ask for. Hockey would be slightly higher.
The argument that a run is on the line for every pitch in baseball is flawed as well. Every single attack in soccer can lead to a goal. Its the same concept. The concept that scoring is more valuable than in football or basketball. Its edge of your seat for that reason, same way hockey and baseball are edge of your seat.
If you dont like it, fine...you dont like it. Just dont bring terrible argument to justify why you dont like it. We dont care why, and Im not sure why you need to make yourself feel better by making fun of it.

I hope the USA wins, as always, but the game itself to me is awfully boring and I dont waste my time watching it anymore. Tried when the US hosted it.....but it didnt interest me a bit.

I will, however, call out ignorance of people regarding the sport and their terrible arguments. Hell, its a great way to kill the time before the pregame starts today lol

This, but even in the last 20 years you can easily see the popularity rise in this country while people like thavoice become dying breeds. They are fighting a war that they can't win. This WC and the 2018 cycle will be their last grasp of desperation.Laley23;1631998 wrote:Trust me, its been 20 years of my life where people shit on soccer. I am used to it and couldnt care less.

The best part is they say they don't care, yet they have to go out of their way to tell soccer fans why soccer is soooo stooopid!!!!!!!!

Well yeah but you are moron. So I could see how your brain wouldn't understand that.thavoice;1631871 wrote:I get it..it is the USA so we all want them to win.
I just dont understand how everyone is so crazy about this team.
Hearing about how they went above and beyond expectation yada yada yada.
They went 1-1-1 and scored 4 goals in 3 games. To me that just isnt something I would get too excited about.

All the poseurs who couldn't name two players on that team will have to put away their face paint, stupid Cat in the Hat hats and scarves until the next jump on the bandwagon event.
