Reasons soccer is kinda lame

[j-dub]

Sorry, j-dub. I'm probably not going to read your post. But that's probably just because I'm pak'd at the SKC game.

enjoy the cauldron bud

I liked your post j-dub.

Soccer is fine, but I've never been exposed to it much. Sporting KC is similar to KSU baseball on my sports radar; if they are good I'll pay attention a little bit. To be fair, I don't know the game like I know football and basketball. I'm sure there are some cool strategies and statistics I could follow, but at this point in my life I have little interest in learning those things.

Why is gE as a whole so butthurt towards soccer and its fans? Serious question.

at least 95 percent of the sporting fans i know are hipster dorks who were always too good for sports. they acted as if they were above caring about the royals and the chiefs. now, they wear 13 scarves to the cauldron and sing folk songs and act as if sporting, mls and soccer are on the same level/superior to football and baseball and the chiefs and the royals.

This is a terrible reason to dislike anything.

The real hipsters are fans of European national teams.

Guys I thought of another reason why soccer is kinda lame. Exhibitions in the middle of the season just for the heck of it. I mean, what's the deal with that?

My favorite thing about soccer though is the solid 45 minutes of play between commercial breaks. The end of NBA and NCAA hoops games have a commercial break every 25 or so seconds of game play and it makes it tough to watch sometimes in games where you're not invested in the outcome. I like that the 5 or so times a year I watch soccer I know its 45 minutes, half, 45 minutes, extra time, game.

nobody does exhibitions in the middle of the season though.  there's no real continuity for national teams - this is basically the preseason to "world cup" in the short term.  most of the big leagues just finished their seasons a little while back

What about when SKC plays Manchester in July

[Tobias]

just money and marketing when we get those - we don't lose any players for games they'd otherwise play in or disrupt the season

Or what about this US Open Cup thing? "Heh, it's the middle of our season, let's play this other tournament."

I bet they sell delicious street tacos and churros and cerveza at the games though. I'd have about 4 of each.

i would destroy them with you

so in mexico (and a lot of the other latin american leagues) they split the season in two... it would be like MLB having a world series in june to crown a first half champion, and then having another world series in october to crown a second half champion

I'm embarrassed to share a continent with people who would organize their league in such a foolish way. That's idiotic.

I don't care if you like futbol, football, country, rock, are a Jew or a Gentile, are a Protestant or Catholic, a churropak with bros is just what the doctor ordered.

Speaking strictly of the sport itself and not re the level of competition in town, baseball fans can gtfoomf with this.

Baseball is kept alive in our country by meaningless nostalgia and stat dorks. It is boring as crap,  moves half as fast as it should, and has twice as many games as it should.  Real talk: women's softball is more entertaining than MLB.

Just incredible

By far the worst part about soccer is that all the best players don't play in one league.  Like, the Barclays is supposed to be the best and yet the two best players in the world play in Spain?  I mean wtf.

This is absolutely the best point made in this thread. You also don't even get to see all of the best players in the world cup.
