Ok, I stopped reading most of this when someone posted there isnt enough ad breaks in soccer!
That's just it, you dont have the attention span, you need at least 37 stoppages a half to not lose interest. Which to me is stupid.
An american football game goes on for about 3 hours, but the game clock runs for 48 minutes? That is stupid, I'm sorry it is.
Comparing injuries between football and american football is stupid too. The sports are no way similar other than they are played on a field. But anyone who says you cant get hurt playing football, sorry soccer hasnt a fucking clue.
If you think soccer is boring to watch because no goals are scored well you missed the point really. Why does there have to be loads of goals for it to be entertaining? I've seen some outstanding matches finish 0-0. Scoring in NFL and NBA means a hell of a lot less than in soccer because the scores are so high.
The ignorance in the States towards soccer means it will probably never be a massive sport there. The few good players you have are trying desperatley to ply their trade in Europe. Brian McBride, Casey Keller and Brad Friedle are the only names that come to mind, but I think someone plays for Rangers too, his name escapes me.
Whoever said soccer isnt a betting sport you are so off it's not funny. It is a massive betting sport. No we dont have stats on yardage and crap because it has no merit in the game. I'm not going to bet on the NFL because frankly I know sweet fuck all about it. I do however know quite a bit about soccer and I certainly know enough info to place intelligent bets.
Ok, because I havent read all this thread and because it's late and because I'm quite pissed off with a lot of comments posted here I'm going to end this rant.
