6 reason soccer sucks.

[Zebo]

I have about 10 other problems with the fundamentals of the game plus the fact USA sends halfletes but I let tried to let the hate go like OB1 says last couple weeks with an opened mind thinking I was wrong about how gay it is, nope, just added 6 more, here are my additional observations.

1. Goal free games. What a waste of 90 minutes to see guys kicking ball around. Rectangle jerk a circle jerks cousin.

2. Shameless diving for calls and refs that are sucked in. What a bunch of pussies I've been hit walking through crowds harder than that and these guys act like they have been shot only to run around for dozens of minutes afterwords.

3. Lame yellow and red cards which totally alter games for #2.

4. Amateurish officiating. Even when someone actutally scores a very rare goal it's taken away by refs who don't see it. See UK and USA. What a bunch of fools.

5. Droning of plastic horns drowning out every other sound in the stadium removing all fan excitement.

6. Stalling. Okay game is already boring as fuck w/o any scoring but once someone scores and is assured placement in the "round of 16" and opponent is assured the same all they do for the next 45 minutes is pass the ball to each other trying nothing see Chile & Spain.

At what point do we care anymore about soccer or the hating soccer threads?

I thought we were there 2-3 days ago.

Cool story bro.

As if there is such thing as enough soccer hate. It's like hating Nazis or the Devil - never gets old.

 

[Dominato3r]

It's either a genuine hate for the sport, or just anger that your team isn't good at it.

So much for "growing popularity" seems most American are smarter than Zebo and don't waste their time giving it a second chance.

Ok, we get it. You've posted in every soccer thread regarding your hate for the sport. You hate soccer. Now please STFU. The other 6 billion+ of us like it.

How about you STFU because it's not only Americans who hate it.
Although making this thread was unnecessary, it's people like you who think everyone likes it that are just as annoying.

Bhaabhaa Sheep. What do you like about it? At least admit they need instant replay for rare goals scored not counted.

I didn't say everyone likes it. I said most of us like it.

This thread is unnecessary. The OP's rants about it are already littered in some of the other soccer threads.

I enjoy watching the World Cup, but I don't understand how anyone can have a list on why soccer sucks and not list the rampant and crazy racism experienced in Europe, the supposed center of the sport!

[coreyb]

agreed, it sucks balls. and im sick of hearing about it and seeing random country's flags attached to peoples cars around town.

 

[Mucho]

1. A small African country can beat the mighty U S of A.

 

[edro]

Replay would fix half of those issues.
Also, red card anyone who feigns injury.

I agree with you 100%

 

[Analog]

I agree with you 100%

yep, and add the silly offsides penalty.

 

[moshquerade]

yep, and add the silly offsides penalty.

And add the "magic spray" they pull out and put on all injuries to help them instantaneously heal.

The other thing I don't get is how there are only like 5 shots on goal / team /game. I mean the net is damn near 30 feet wide, how the hell do you only put the ball on net 5 times in an hour and a half? Hockey has a net that is less than 4 feet wide and you see 30+ shots on net / game.

IMO, that's what makes the games so damn boring, not the low scoring. Hockey has low scoring usually, but it is still exciting because the goalie at least has to make a couple dozen saves.

I agree with 3, 4 & 6 big time. They need to institute an replay on some of those goal calls, especially for a game that has so few scores.
I don't mind # 5 so much, probably because I don't attend games.
