That's because they don't have the NFL there , and no I'm not talking about a crappy leahue made out of unknowns, I'm talking the NFL

Oh, I can watch football here every day if I wanted and they show the Superbowl here too. I tried watching it one year and every time I thought I had figured out the rules something happened that didn't make sense to me, so I finally gave up

Most of those countries don't have crap in sports that's why they're so into their Soccer and Olympics, cause it's the only thing they have to remind us they're still around.

Were you born with that brain defect or did you get knocked in the head?
You are into football, basketball, golf, baseball and nascar and we're into soccer, Formula1, snooker and all 33 Olympic sports. But we don't have crap in sports? Uhu

It's funny how American football fans think soccer is boring...and on the flip side...soccer fans think American football is boring.

I like them both. Now Basketball that is terrible, it's so easy to score.

It's what you grew up and know.

I grew up watching and following both sports...I like them both equally.

Having said that...nothing...and I do mean nothing...beats the electricity of World Cup play...nothing...not even close.

But don't worry...the World Cup is only once every four years...I can watch my Super Bowls peacefully during World Cup hiatus.

I completely agree. I have been to both NFL games and US National Soccer games and others such as the AC Milan/Chelsea friendly in Baltimore.

The electricity at soccer games doesn't even compare to NFL games. It is constant chanting, drums beating, nobody sitting down, complete party atmosphere the entire time.

Also, you look at the U.S. game of 2-2 and that's the equivalent of a 14-14 football game. I do love football but so much time between plays...soccer palyers have to think on their feet since there are no breaks unless someone gets hurt.

Also, the ultimate score really isn't reflective of what happens during a match. True some games are boring but when you see games where shot after shot taking place...it could have been a 5 or 6 goal game. It's very difficult to score in soccer because aside from everything else; the goal keepers are incredible and very hard to score on.

I think once the U.S. can prove that they are a world class team which will happen in the next decade or so, soccer will increase in popularity as a spectator sport.

My kids love going to soccer matches because they play the sport and in fact, I think more kids play soccer than any other sport in the U.S.

Do the math and I think the owners getting in on the ground floor with the MLS teams will be greatly rewarded a few decades from now.

I am absolutely passionate about BOTH footballs. I am, unfortunately for me, a die-hard Cowboys fan. But there is an FC Barcelona banner on my office door.

I love going to both games and both have great tension and excitement. That said, there is nothing that compares to a World Cup match.

BTW, soccer is THE most-played game in America. I realize that its played mostly by young kids, but that's true for most sports. When was the last time you strapped on the pads and played football or vene played an organized game of basketball.

If I wore a soccer jersey 15 years ago here in the States, it was treated as a bit of a novelty. Now I see people wearing them all over the place and doing so in teams from all over the world. I even see people wearing them in the 765-person strong town my wife is from in northern Idaho.

I do think as the U.S. gets better, the sport will mean more to Americans.

I agree with the three W's...Wolfie, West, and Wee...

just because your country may have it doesn't mean the rest do, There's always 1000 little countries no one's even heard of with a soccer team or one Olympic athlete that never wins crap

please, and what the hell is a snooker?

I play all the time

It's the other way around, just because YOUR country doesn't have it, doesn't mean it's worth ****. You've just given the best example yourself. You don't know snooker, but it's played all over the world

[wolfie]

and what the hell is a snooker?

Snooker is pool with brains.
