Soccer: Can Someone Explain?

You have to see the value in the build up. A 0-0 tie can be won by either team at any point for 90 minutes. In comparison, once a basketball team gets up by 12 points or so you may as well turn it off. Football the threshold is 15 points. You may think a soccer game is over at 2-0, but this is known as the most dangerous score mentally for the winning team.

A 0-0 game with lots of shots is fantastic, even if it is a little disheartening to not get a win. The US-Algeria match was a 93 minute heart attack and for 91 minutes it was nil all.

Even though I don’t like McGrady, I’m posting this to blow your “once a basketball team gets up by 12 points or so you may as well turn it off” comment off the page. This is why basketball is the most exciting sport in the world, 'cause one dude can get hot and shut down an entire team. Have fun with your soccer ladies.[/quote]

I like basketball, but if you think this super rare occurrance (ok throw up reggie, etc but its still rare) negates the point youre wrong. Blowout games are not fun to watch, and basketball is full of them.

Maybe being a Bulls fan in the 90s contributed to the amount of blowouts I watched and Im biased…

You just said “once a team is up by 12…”, you didn’t give a time frame. I posted the most extreme example of a game that was seemingly completely out of reach, and one guy’s skill and timely hot streak rendered an entire team powerless. No other sport can offer that.

As we all know in football goals can be hard to come. This clip shows AC Milan winning 3-0 in the Champions league final against Liverpool. Watch from min 53-60: 3 goals in 7 minutes after being down 3-0. It ends up being 3-3 and Liverpool taking it by penalties.

This thread makes me laugh. Football is exciting game if anyone has bothered watching it, I guess most Americans don’t like it because the game doesn’t stop for long enough to go and get a pizza, a hot dog, some nuts, a burger another pizza and whatever shit can be bought it at a stadium. American sports are so long and boring that people just go to eat I guess, hence the 66% obesity rate.

They should make American Football players play a season of Rugby then find actually know what it’s what its like to play a man’s sport. [/quote]

  1. Check your statistics. 66%? Where did you get that number from?
  2. We’re not talking about rugby here.[/quote]

Sorry i mean 66% overweight and 31% obese. But even that is still pretty fat.

Well, the UK isn’t too far behind as far as obesity goes. Careful with the attacks there.
I think it’s safe to say our preference for “our” football over “your” football has little to do with our obesity rates.

Yes, you laugh out loud, a gay attitude to go with the gay uniform, because “Who gives a fuck what you think” is what all gay men say.

That American Football uniform emphasizes and epitomizes everything gay men lust for in the body of a male.

How is that not obvious?

Somewhere in America there is a closet gay male secretly lusting and LOL how he got to convince a whole nation of heterosexual males to dress up for him.
