I just might waste the whole afternoon here.

Soccer is absurdly slow. I've had soccer apologists say with false pride how the average soccer participant "runs" 4 miles in a game. Newsflash: that means they are jogging less than 3 miles per hour. Translation: they are mostly standing around.

Penalty kicks. You are determining a winner by a random event that has no relevance to the rest of the game. It would be as stupid as replacing extra innings with batting practice.

The correct term for 0 is zero, not nil. Take a math class.

France is successful at participating at soccer. That should say something, especially to the British.

The "World" Cup is not the a World's Cup, but a competition among 32 countries, disproportionately allotted to European countries. (Although in fairness, the World Series is played among teams from two countries)

Soccer is boring compared to hurling or gealic football!(look it up on youtube)

Soccer is boring compared to other sports and variations,soccer is essentialy just running and try and keep the ball away from the others,sports like gealic football involve tons of other things;for example:

You can kick up the ball into your hand or catch BUT,you can't hold the ball for more then 4 steps,otherwise you have to bounce it,throw it up and catch it or solo it while running in turn,so you can't solo twice in a row.
Another thing is passing;in soccer you can only kick it so its hard for other to intercept it because they can't catch the ball,in gealic football you need to either kick it or do a handpass,throws are not allowed.

Hurling is even more complicated,and it has big hard sticks(did I just say that?) that can hurt you.

Math being an abreviation for mathematic. I say math, you say maths, your abreviating the plural form. Mathematics. 

Modified edit: Read the comments under this link, seems to be worldwide confusion.

I dig soccer especially FIFA every 4 years. I dig NASCAR as well. That being said,I won't knock anyone else's favorite sports here



Mike......This could get ugly (as far as soccer) and Redneck (which I am) real quick

You do know Mark that Soccer Players are like Einstein compared to NZ Rugby players.

Rugby players can't even talk properly because they hit their heads to many times playing that stupid game.
