how can you be a fan of this sport?
A TV behind me at the card room had an english club soccer game on it. At one point I looked up and saw on the CC "soandso has only had 17 points scored against them in the past 34 games" or something close.
W-T-F? Seriously.

What a stunningly original and ever-so-timely observation. Are you a private investigator?

10x better than baseball.
I like soccer. It's more about appreciating the strategies and plays and set ups than appreciating a goal. A big defensive stop can be just as exciting. YOu just gotta know what to be watching for.

Standard answer from defenders of Sports That Suck (tm [/ QUOTE ] Well let's use statistics: Number of people in the world - approx 6 billion Number of people watch/support/play football - approx 5.95 billion Number of people who watch/support/play baseball - 316 (and sometimes some of their friends to be polite)

Don't like BASEBALL!!! what are you, some kind of pinko commie fairy-boy?! go back to russia, you filthy goldbrickin' hippy! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
actually, it takes time to cultivate an appreciation for baseball, and it's worth the time. Baseball is an elegant and suprisingly exciting game. give it a shot.
