every soccer game i've ever seen:

almost got close enough to shoot
almost got close enough to shoot
out of bounds
some guy flopping like manu ginobili looks like he stepped on a land mine followed by a yellow card
ball at mid field for 20 min
shot blocked
I ask myself "how the hell is injury time decided?"
somebody scores and wins 1-0

I think about 12 goals are scored a season.

You dont get soccer DD. :nonono:

You need to watch European soccer. Granted the flopping is probably worse, but there is more action.
Injury time is very subjective. Soccer is about strategy. Certain teams like to control the midfield more so they are able to have the ball and create more opportunities to score and others like to play a more finesse football where they counter every time their is open field.

The Euro league is fun to watch, and I always watch the Olympics. I never got into MLS though, the atmosphere is dull and there just isn't nearly enough star power to draw me in.

I'd watch soccer 10/10 times over golf. I don't ever think I've sat through two minutes of golf.

Don't worry guise. I've actually enjoyed fussball at time. I saw HSB Hamburg vs Liverpool in Hamburg and that was fun, other than the skinheads.

Holy ****.

Derek Medina Shoots Wife and Posts Pic on Facebook
Derek Medina posted the photo some time around noon Thursday, with the
words "Rip Jennifer Alfonso." The image shows his wife's body slumped
backwards from her knees on the floor in what appears to be the couple's
kitchen. Her face and arms are covered in blood.

Picture is on the site NSFW

Baseball is the best sport in the World, but as I get older I am learning to respect soccer more and more. Id probably love it if I didnt grow up in America.

I don't understand how people who like baseball can call soccer boring. Baseball games last longer, have way more breaks, and have even less action. **** the scoring isn't even that much higher. I can't even watch baseball for more than 10 minutes.

Inb4 the games are fun to go to. Doesn't matter soccer matches live blow that away.

90 degree heat, and we get hit with a flash flood warning. Reno weather has always been crazy, but I've never seen something like this in the 23 years that I've lived here.

If you have never played baseball then it'll be hard to grasp how hard it actually is to play.
