Baseball is not just an American Sport. Baseball is very popular and dominant in countries like Cuba, Japan, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Panama...just to name a few. And if remenber correctly soccer has been trying to get into the Asian market. Didn't the last World cup was held in two different Asian countries? And from what I understand Brazilian soccer is much better than European soccer. But I wouldn't know for sure since I don't watch soccer....only read or hear about it. So don't quote me on that. 😛

the english and spanish league is the best in the world! thats where the top clubs are at.

brazil have the best NATIONAL squad in the world

Yea but belive it or not the USA womens team has the best teamwork in the world.

yea strategy must be above your head... most of a soccer match nothing happens, and take a break every 4 minutes? thats such an arbitrary random time amount you just made up.. again shows ur lack of knowledge of the sport.

strategy and tactics are very important in soccer. but you see the thing is they are done before the game, not during the action.
i did watch the superbowl and i cant remember exactly how many breaks the had but it sure bores me. id rather watch rugby

b/c you dont get whats going on, you dont realise the importatnce of playing for field position, running clock, to use the run to open the deep pass.. you dont see any of this going on.. ill say it again you dont fully understand the game..

this is such a pointless thread dexx

People like soccer for the reason you mention.
People like american football for the reason Forumcrew said
Completly different games, completly different point of views.

My fav is american football for all those reasons, but sometimes its not exciting at all (especially the superbowl because of the immense popularity), try watching a game without any tv breaks, and you get stoppages that last 20-30 seconds, basically the amount of times for a midfielder to pass the ball twice in soccer.)

Soccer can also be an boring sport to watch. Every two seconds a foul, a long ass kick, somebody heads it to thier teammate, that guys passes the ball, then that guy loses it, rinse and repeat. But the game can be very exciting to watch also.

Every sport has ups and downs. YOur ignorant to think that every sport sucks aside from the one you love. If you dont like it, its because its not your thing, not because it sucks.

And I agree with you Forumcrew about the hockey thing. A good broadcast (mostly CBC in Canada), can translate the game very well. But in terms of being at the game, its probably one of the best games to watch in person, especially when you get a rival game. ( Due to the smaller arena size compared to football or soccer

Soccer will never be the #1 Sport in america...

and as for hockey, what ya think of the rule changes Smithsandian? Supposed to generate more scoring. goalies are gonna have to adapt big time.

my opinion is american football would be better if the gane flowed constantly like rugby. i cannot see the fascination in the game at all.
common sense will prevail and soccer will be the best sport in america soon, and then the world can return to normal

Thew new rules are pretty cool.
But they're not exactly new.
The tag up offside and the removal of the red line are from international hockey.
But I hate the shootout. I think its ridiculous.

Deano, common sense wont prevail because it has nothing to do with common sense. It has to do with people's taste and no matter what people think all around the world, soccer wont be first in North American ever.

yes but ive come to the conclusion that 80% of americans never give anything a decent chance if it comes from outside the country

Its actually the same for everyone...most people like whats familiar to them. That don't just include Americans.

That is most people.
Have you given baseball a chance?
What about hockey?

Are Canadians in that same category because I definitly know that soccer is about 4th popular sport in Canada, and will never,ever, ever come close to being the most popular.

They're is also more countries that doesnt have soccer as its most popular sport.
Most carribean countries consider baseball as its best.
Japan most popular sport is baseball.
I would think that most Scandiavian countries have hockey as its most popular sport. (I think)
It definitly doesnt compete with soccer.

But my point is that you cant say what sport is best because its based on personal choice. You cant compare any sport.
Your ingorant if you think that soccer is the best.

yes ive given baseball a chance, ive watched it numerous times on tv.
soccer is the most popular sport in the world for a reason. at its best it is fast and furious and provides great entertainment. something other sports cant do as good as soccer.
its the best sport in the world. live with it and u will sleep better.

let me guess. you like rugby and soccer? i respect soccer for one reason only. the players. they are perhaps the most physically fit people in the world. as for the sport itself? BORING.......and rugby? just a n=bunch of idiots running around looking gay, knocking the crap out of each other. at least NFL football has some organization to it.

rugby players running around looking gay and knocking crap out of each other?? so tell me how this differs from american football?
rugby players do not knock crap out of each other, and it does have organistion to it. and yeh obviously american footballers are not gay, they wear helmets and padding like real men!GRRRRRRRRR

i just cannot believe that people say that soccer is boring and american football is not, i cannot understand the logic in that

Thats because we are not F*cking retarded and go around knockin the sh*t out of people with no pads. I dont know if you heard, but its not much fun to be injured.

Im not saying anything against Rugby, because thats a crazy sport. I dont like it that much, but i would watch it. Only real tough people play that. But also crazy people who don't like injuries. I know i would never ever play in a real rugby game.

Its soccor that i dont like. Its just so boring. Yeah maybe if i watch your soccor, it will be a little more exciting, but i still won't like it, because the sport doesnt appeal to me.

The best part about soccor is the spanish announcers on the spanish channel. 😆

in all fairness i think american football is more crazy, they knock the shit out of each other.

you think soccer is boring but come the summer of 2006 when the world cup is on, and america are playing against other countrys, you just have to watch the tournament and cheer your team on. some games will be boring, others will be electrifying. but thats what we love about soccer, its unpredictable and you cannot script it. it always raises emotions. you dont appreciate the sport because its never been given a real chance in america.
soccer in england brings the people together, the flags hanging out of windows during the major tournaments, its a sight to behold!
i think you'll find the grueling soccer battles that your country faces will be more exciting then some nfl game. give it a chance this 2006!!

As far as you saying soccer has more entertainment value. Soccer is a fast paced sport. Baseball is a Game of anticipation. Football is a little of both. Its kind of like how osme people like Action flicks or Jean Claude Van Dam movies and some like Suspense *they build up to a climax like baseball*. So Saying Soccer is the best with best entertainment is kinda dumb. Its like saying all Action movies are better then others cuz they are fast paced and something is always happening. but thats not necessarily true. People watch different sports for different reasons.In America we love our NFL and sometimes our MLB.
