A question most Americans have (page 3)

I knew I could count on Simon and Englishman to defend soccer's honor. However, for my money, watching a running back bust through for a 30 yard sprint or seeing a QB throw a 70 yard bomb, now THAT's excitement! If the final score is in single digits, count me out. :)

.....and if the umpire should make the wrong call in a soccor match...the crowd roars....

"You're going home in a f***en ambulance...you're going home in a f***en ambulance...you're going home in a f***en ambulance...you're going home in a f***en ambulance..."

I'd love to go to a live game! Bless them Brits.

All that runnin, for what?!!! That sums up soccer for me. No doubt, their athletes are probably the best conditioned in the world, but for what? To run up and down a field for 3 hours and maybe score once? Imagine the average 250 lb, NFL linebacker runnin up and down the field for 3 hrs.

ONE....

Yea, but still. No pads, simple rules ... it seems like a really pure sport to me. Now if they'd just get rid of that silly off-sides rule, we could really open this game up!!

who cares about the World Cup?

Roybatty, beautiful imagry of football - so much better than soccer. As bigoi pointed out, what is the point of running around for three hours to score one point? Where I live, soccer, is a game played by kids that can't play baseball, basketball, or football, and I mean American football, not that weeny game we call soccer.

When I was in high school the San Jose Earthquakes (soccer) franchise started. I thought it was great that San Jose got their first professional franchise, so I supported them by attending as many games that I could. I really tried to like it, I really did.

I finally had to admit to myself that all I was looking at were a bunch of pansies in little shorts running up and down a field playing keep away with each other. When you are raised on REAL football, like we are in the States, I don't think you can take how absolutly boring soccer is. Duck!!

For you U.S. people:

If you got a good gaming pc rig (or PS2, Gamecube)...get FIFA 2002. Set the difficulty to easy, and enjoy the 99-0 scoring difference.

BECAUSE IT'S CALLED THE WORLD CUP! HELLO! More than one country plays in it, therefore it should be held in a different country every year. I also think you forget that the World Cup brings huge revenues etc. to any country hosting it, which is why the only fair thing to do is switch between different countries every time it's held...

Rugby is much better than football! Rugby players don't wear ARMOUR! They go on the field "RAW" baby!
