Lots of soccer hating going on here but at least watching a soccer game doesn't mean you have to watch 3 hours of commercials for 11 minutes of actual game play..
Those 11 minutes are far more entertaining than one hour of soccer.Lots of soccer hating going on here but at least watching a soccer game doesn't mean you have to watch 3 hours of commercials for 11 minutes of actual game play..
Yea but the commercials most definitely aren'tThose 11 minutes are far more entertaining than one hour of soccer.
Clearly you haven't watched Florida on offense.Those 11 minutes are far more entertaining than one hour of soccer.
That's why God made DVR. I'm more engaged watching commercials than watching nonstop coverage of a soccer match.Yea but the commercials most definitely aren't
It's a more spread out basketball. It takes a lot of strategery/patience to move the ball in towards the goal. I get that it wouldn't be for everyone but it's not boring to me because I enjoy watching it beyond just seeing it as:It's cross country running with some falling over and a lot of soccer balls being kicked out of bounds or just outside the goal - almost never in it.
i was able to see an atlanta united game a couple of weeks back and was surprised that i found it interesting and fairly entertaining, granted, atlanta won 7-nil which was fun in it's own right. that was the second match i had ever been to.It's a more spread out basketball.

I get around that by not watching the Olympics.Lots of soccer hating going on here but at least watching a soccer game doesn't mean you have to watch 3 hours of commercials for 11 minutes of actual game play..
I will too, just not with the same degree of interest...I'll still watch the World Cup
On the other hand, football, basketball, and baseball are just about the only sports remaining in the world that don't plaster advertisements all over the field and all over the players' jerseys so that if you don't happen to know what the little tiny circle logo on the upper left chest is, you'd think you were watching Ford vs Standard Life Investments on Head & Shoulders Field.Lots of soccer hating going on here but at least watching a soccer game doesn't mean you have to watch 3 hours of commercials for 11 minutes of actual game play..
Then clearly it's not being shovey enough. I'll get with the American Soccer Throat Shove Society to rectify the situation.If I had not seen this posted here, I never would have known.
I love when games go to penalties. I know that might be an unpopular opinion but I always felt like extra time in soccer is one of the more boring OTs in sports because the players are too tired by the end of the game.Oh one more thing because I've had this back and forth before......one of the major beefs some folks have with soccer is the shootout, and I "get" that, okay? However.......when I was first hearing these complaints in the 1980s, college football had both ties AND bowl tie-ins that let teams slide into national championships without having to play the other best team. Every time a cfb fan lodged an objection about the shootout, I said, "It's not great but at least they play on the field; in cfb, we'd just poll sportswriters as to which team was the better one."
But I'll admit it's an acquired taste. My like for the game diminished long ago.
