Ha, until they changed the rules, the same could be said for pro basketball. Led by the King of the floppers, Bill Laimbeer.
There's more action in the first five minutes of a soccer match than an entire baseball game-
That is just a stupid comment.
no wonder a lot of people consider baseball utterly boring, second only to golf. Regarding golf- we hashed this out years ago, and guys are entrenched in their opinions- but personally- I don't consider golf to be a sport- it's a skill.
Thanks to MJP's article, US major league soccer has a long way to go to catch up in average salary to the European version- (looks like the equivalent of Class A baseball) probably why most of the top US soccer players play on European teams. We'd need to start filling up 60,000 seat stadiums and get major air time to catch up.
Regarding FS' comments about top athletes, completely different skill set as opposed to playing football. Basketball may be close. Top Marathon runners would gas any NFL player in the first mile or two. Regarding football, I'm always fond of recalling Chris Collinsworth's story about the Bengal's soccer match. The Bengals were in a bar, and called the local semi-pro soccer team a bunch of wusses. Got challenged to a soccer match- the soccer guys were up 10-0 when the Bengals quit. So much for the "superior athletes".
What do you think would happen if the soccer team took on the Bengals in football? It would be 150-0 after the first quarter.
Machismo doesn't define whether something is a sport or not. Try your hand at figure skating and tell me if it is hard or not.
Golf isn't a sport. It simply isn't. A pro who is a par shooter is going to take 72 swings per round of golf. From top to contact, let's say generously a swing takes 6 seconds to execute. That means a guy does 432 seconds of physical work to play an entire round. 7 minutes plus change. What the hell kind of sport takes 3 hours and requires 7 minutes of physical activity? Let's not be stupid.
Soccer? A sport for effeminate men. A sport mostly played by homosexuals. Soccer is nothing more than Dancing With The Stars for sissy boys. How can anyone watch this schidt?
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

LOL, you remember Garo Yepremian saying "I keek a touchdown?" But at least on the pro level, you at least have to have endurance, not to mention some skill. We had a pretty decent soccer team in college and I'd see guys running around our basketball court bouncing the ball off their head continuously. Try that one on for degree of difficulty. Gips protestations there's a lot of standing around is BS. From Wiki- Long games, a massive field and a constantly moving ball add up to serious distance for soccer players. STATS puts the average at 7 miles per game depending on position, and as much as 9.5 miles for some players
Tom, I'm 100% with you on golf. But you at least have to be able to walk- if you remember they wouldn't give that guy an exemption to use a cart because he had some weird vascular disorder. It's a repetitive skill. At least driving the ball off a tee, and putting. John Daley doesn't have that athletic look. Though with all due respects, the better golfers today do work out. Hey- Rory McIllroy missed some time on the Tour, got himself hurt playing soccer with his friends.
I played competitive tennis in my earlier years- and for sure you have to have some athletic ability- especially now. Back in the 70s you'd see guys hit kill shots once in awhile, now they murder every stroke. As to a repetitive skill- that's how I learned to develop a decent serve. Went out one summer every day with a bucket of tennis balls, and hit serves for a couple hours, until I got good at it.

I didn't say they just stood around, they move....but just with very rare attempt to attack the goal. The guys running the Dean Smith 4 corners moved...the would dribble the ball all around and pass it all around....never attempting to score. You know...like in soccer.

Me and Nero would say that's your utter lack of knowledge how the game is played showing. You can't constantly attack in soccer, (you have to look for your openings) it leaves you open to a counter-attack- listen to the FS1 commentators. Shove everyone up close, one boot over the defenders heads, it's the equivalent of a three on none basketball break, and an almost certain goal. Where you don't get a second- or tenth chance, like in basketball. $hit like that happens (using the hockey equivalent) when you're down a goal, and you pull the goalie to go 6 on 5 in the last minute or two. Goals are at a premium- for a reason. They could make the scoring a a lot higher if they just shrunk the field.

Goals are at a premium because the teams rarely attempt to attack the goal...and because the rules of the game disallow exciting attacks on the goal. Eliminate the offside rule....make shootouts an organic part of the game..then it would maybe be interesting and exciting. (But fuycking God forbid that there actually be 2-3 more goals scored per game.....)

Larry, on a serious note, my trip to the Masters was eye-opening. I don't consider horse racing a sport and will never change my opinion on that, but whatever one calls it, these pro golfers are very, very skilled. I honestly don't want to dis the guys. It is boring to me, but wow they have great hand eye, discipline and range judgement. Soccer? Boring to me, but these guys are athletes. Do you remember Kyle Rote Junior on the Super Stars Competition? We all laughed at the thought of a soccer sissy competing against NFL, MLB, NBA and boxers. hey guy didn't just win, he dominated.
I am an old NFL American. Baseball, Hotdogs Apple Pie and Chevrolet. I remember the great times we had in the 60s and 70s, and I have lived to see much that was good turned to schidt. I say, God Bless anyone who can get paid to do something they love. I just like football, ya know?

I'm not a big Soccer/Futbol fan.. However.. I have tons of respect for those guys.. They play theyre butts off!... You have to have insane stamina to play it.. My Uncle was an Ohio Regional Championship coach and a player.. Hes won 10 championships as a player.. And an another10 championships as head coach.. That's like Impossible in any sport at any level... Yet there he is.. Inducted and enshrined in the Ohio Soccer Hall Of Fame , in Columbus...

What you don't enjoy fake knee injuries or dramatic falls from mythical trips or dying from a toe being not really stepped on when viewed slow-mo?

I would never say that soccer players are not athletes nor that they did not have great skill...they do. My issue is with the sport itself and how it can be such a cure for insomnia because of the way they play it and some of its rules.

They need more than one referee, just MHO.

They don't wear pads, and last match Reynaldo was constantly getting kicked in the shins. I'll admit some guys over react when they get tackled, but not all. Just like guys wanting the ref to throw a flag in football.

Vegas wanted pro sports for years and the leagues finally agreed, I don't think it is a mob potential problem the way it used to be.
I saw very little of the NEW Vegas Golden Nights (play on words
sounds like a motel chain ) Stanley Cup games, outside of the Penguins in not that big a TV fan.

Just a FYI from nfl.com
JJ Watt is pretty damn athletic. LOL, could have made it as a soccer goalie. FWIW, sign that soccer guy up as a field goal kicker. I don't doubt he could set an NFL record for distance... Don't know how his hands are, but for sure he has the speed to play WR.

How about this: have the soccer guy and the football guy play against each other in a sport in which neither is proficient at....such as basketball.
Or....lets see how each of them is able to handle a 95 mph fastball...or a curve or slider.
