Yes I played a lot of soccer growing up, several all star teams in fact.

You wanna know what's sissy?  Morons that watch NFL, Basketball players that get sprains and get carted off on meatwagons (THEY are sissies).  I played year round for 7 of 13 years I played, for FREE.  I lost count after over 100 sprains and I walked (ran) them off.  Those who knock it, either suck at it or wish they had the stamina to run for 90 minutes.  Btw, perfectly healthy.

any of you guys calling NFl players sissies and not "soccer" queens are freaking clueless.

Soccer is for girls, always has been and always will be.

And dowding, read again, I say soccer makes baseball look like gladiators.  Thats how sissy soccer is.

Yeah you'd know, things get rather rough while playing on a  fourteen years old and under all-star teams. Lots of oranges squirting you in the eye.

But hey Soccer is as much fun to watch as Baseball,

I love football.  

But, I preferr the NCAA myself.  The NFL has become all about the money and less about the game anymore.  

I just wish the NCAA would have a mini playoff and a superbowl type game to determin the national champs.

watch out for my huskers.....its a rebuilding year but I'm expecting great things  

Not one to talk (UCLA fan here) but IIRC the Huskers aren't even on the pre-season top 25. How long since that has happened?

I played 3 sports through High school, football, basketball and soccer.  I was recruited to UTSA on basketball.  Once I got to college I decided I liked getting drunk a whole lot more.

It is sad that such a great game is dismissed by Americans....all because of the mighty TV.

Yeah sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it goes on for hours with little scoring, and the players frequently lay on the ground pretending to be injured.  Or the fact that Football (real football not soccer) is a brilliant game.  But yeah keep telling yourself it's about TV.

who cares who is watching what and what not?
Fußball it's world's favourite sport.
I also like to watch Basketball and on the other side
for me American Football is great to watch but it
gets boring after the first 5min Maybe the rules are
so complicated i dont know, it just isnt our loved game.

Ok...but seriously...you want to know the real reason American hate soccer?



Because they tried and tried....but they just don't have any skills....and they SUCK at it.

So...they just accuse anyone who plays/or enjoys it of being gay.




Have a wonderful day.

Soccer is only slightly less lame than cricket.
