basically america if you haven't noticed you suck and the world hates you. but then again you class your selves as the only important thing in the world when really you've never actually done anything.
What??? This is soccer, not glorious American Football.
Who cares?? Hell as an American I don't even know what is so funny about this video. We don't know the difference between the Premiership or the Confederations cup or La Leagua or anything. Hell I had to really scratch my brain to just think of those 3
So if it's funny to you, then great I guess. Americans just DONT CARE about soccer at all. Literally soccer isn't even talked about except every 4 years when the US loses to Ghana
@Slotten68 It's nice seeing Football on American TV lol in Europe we NEVER have any updates about American Rugby, Football is taking over USA soon American Rugby will be exterminated. Slow game for slow people.
Slow game for slow people huh? Soccer is just kicking a ball around on a grass field. After 90 minutes, most games end in a 0-0 tie...nothing happens. Now THATS slow and boring. I can't believe that anyone actually watches it, much less considers it "enjoyabole". Europeans try to act like they are so sophisticated but then they riot after games and people get killed... You don't fool anyone
@Slotten68 It's the most popular sport in the world. When "soccer" has a World Cup, look how many nations take part. When the USA has a World Series, look how many don't.
@DayDreamAscent right, it is the most popular sport in the world including 3rd world dirt poor countries where the concept of kicking a ball around a grass field seems like heaven. In the US, most of the popular sports are expensive ones that require extensive equipment and facilities. Kicking a ball around a grass field for 90 mintues is boring and completely uneventful. Why do soccer fans commonly riot and not US sports fans? Why is the US World Series so notable globally as only one country?
@RunWhilstYouCan Actually, the super bowl summary was on sky sports for the entire day after it happened. You can call it whatever all you want but American football and rugby are not that much alike.
The MLS is the 10th soccer league in the most watched soccer leagues in the world. I don't know why Americans as myself are scared of the fact that in future years the MLS will surpass the NBA. Honestly, the MLS has already gained interest with investors and they are willing to pay big bucks for big names. Just wait and see.
It's average attendance per game surpasses NBA and NHL by a few hundred per game.
but , overall attendance it doesn't. It's a good sign for MLS , or world football fans.
But, a bad sign for people like me who are NHL fans. I'm not sure who watches NBA, except in the cities, and maybe on the coasts. I know places like Indiana are basketball country, and I definitely played the hell out of it growing up. Just refering to the location of fans.
@aeternusero Well I suppose it has to do with the geographical locations of fans, for example in LA not that many people follow hockey as they do in Chicago or Toronto. We mainly watch basketball. But as soon as the MLS begins private ownership of teams then players with higher quality will be able to be hired to play here. But that isn't gonna happen for a while.
You don't know what you are talking about. As usual, people outside the US and Canada think no one knows anything about the sport. If all the soccer fans in America and Canada became a country, it would probably have a larger population than plenty of "footballing nations".
The rest of the world should be happy soccer is so unpopular in the U.S. As a result of it's lack of popularity here probably only our 5th best pro athletes play it with our best athletes playing American football, basketball, baseball, hockey. etc. pretty much in that order. If all our best talented athletes went for soccer the rest of the world would soon become sick of how much we would dominate the sport.
@tuija321 If you realized what a huge pool of incredibly talented pro athletes exist in American (NFL) football, basketball and baseball you would know what I speak of. If soccer was the #1 sport here then most of them would be playing on MLS teams. but soccer doesn't appeal to most americans sensibilities. I for one have tried to embrace it but it's hard for me to like having been raised on American style sports. Perhaps because US sports depend on hand eye coord.. and it doesn't.
@tuija321 Not sure what you mean "balon d'ore" but if you're referring to the subpar talent of the mls then what do you expect? Like I said the mls only draws maybe the fifth most talented athletes in the states. Not suprising when you consider the average mls player earns about $154,000 compared to $1.9 million in the NFL (american style football) and $5.14 million in the NBA. If money was in the mls then alot of awesome talent would be but the money's not there because no interest.
Everton?? Champions league?? I though Americans knew more about soccer than Canada having a lot more teams in the MSL. I Guess I was way off on that one!!!
@portuguesedrumstick9 ummm well everton got int the champions league 4 years ago and have finished no lower than 7 th for 6 seasons. You clearly know nothing about football
granted, Americans are rather ignorant about football but just like anything, its taking us a while to warm up to it. I've been playing football since I was 4 and love it and I've been fortunate enough to see my country become more and more interested in football over the last decade. We've come a long way since World Cup 1994. It's just a matter of time before were among the elite teams in the world. Its not like America to sit around and not try to be the best at something
As soon as they started talking about soccer, I just didnt care. I really don't know what was so funny about this video and I don't really care. Soccer sucks so much
@indiansoccerfan10 If you really need to ask, I spose I'll answer for you.
Soccer is not well liked in America because it is horribly boring. 90 minutes that pretty much consists of kicking a stupid ball back and forth with hardly any action occuring that tends to result in every game ending in a 0-0 score.
The only action to note of is when any player gets barely touched by another and then acts as if he had just been shot on the ground rolling in "extreme" pain.
@indiansoccerfan10 And lets be real here....The only reason Soccer is the "world's game" is because any third world poor ass country can afford a makeshift soccer ball to kick around and aim in between two trees. If the rest of the world could afford sports equipment and large facilities, maybe the rest of the world would see why the US is completely unimpressed by how shitty stupid soccer is. If you like watching fake injuries and 0-0 ties, thats cool I guess. I'll take my American sports plz
@WhiteArcticFoxhound Yeah, AF was adapted from Rugby...in America. Rugby and American football have almost nothing in common other than using an oblong ball.
@Slotten68 then how come europe doesn't play soccer? fake injuries? that happens in 3 out of 10 games. and 95% of the time the ref sees it or he punishes for them. thats why they have 4 refs stand side to tside dumb ass. it's incredibly hard to dive and get away with it. but i guess you wouldn't know jack shit. and o avrage score in a soccer game is 2.5 not 0.0 dumb ass
@Slotten68 1) Thank you for not using any cursing words. This makes you the first person on youtube I have talked to not to use them.
2) My example of American Sports being played in "3rd World Counties": American Football: A ball, Cricket Padding (Yes they can be used for cricket), Cricket Hat
Baseball: A ball and a Cricket bat
Basketball: A basket and a ball
Hockey: Well I have no example as you need lots of money for this
But ya 3rd World Countries can still play American Sports
@Slotten68 Also let me ask you. If 3rd World Countries can't play American Sports because of equipment than how come they play sports like Cricket which require lots of ground and equipment. Im just saying that you can't really say that these places can't afford American Sports when there are other internationally loved sports that require the same amount of money
@indiansoccerfan10 What you argue is partially true...but my point is this: Perhaps very poor countries can afford very simple padding & equipment for some "American" sports (Basketball, Baseball & Hockey) but that doens't make them popular. In America we watch these sports on TV, we have parks in every city with facilities & equipment. in poor countries they probably don't even know what these sports are
But everyone knows and can play soccer. That is soccer's appeal that doesn't work in USA
@Davidcervantes5633 its understood when someone say " American " your talking about the US. if you are willing to add canada in that definition then you would have to add mexico and Brazil.... because by your logic they would be american
in fairness to him he is just doing his job,id imagine if you are a sports commentator for these big networks you probably have to do gigs involving sports you know nothing about to show you are a good commentator before they promote you to the popular sports over there ,he is just reading a script,doubt he would have noticed if they were both black :-) (also i dont know much about media but he may not actually be seeing what we are while he is talking)
@harkerossett I want to hate on that but I just can't. The people you love to hate....'till you need a Navy task force...ah but I kid. Love the limey's and the Commonwealth.
well would you look at that there is a black person for sale on the web at the start of the video and what a coincidence its called fathead just like my username
Americans can't win when it comes to Soccer er...Football.
Americans show interest: "Bunch of posers! You suck! Go play your shit baseball and football! This is the world's sport! The whole world hates you!"
Americans do something else: "Damn ignorant Yanks don't care about our sport! Sit all day watching their shitty fatball and think they're better than everyone else!'
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Good stuff, World.
@EdmacZ Hardly... It's because Americans have to do it in their own, inimitable style of being totally clueless. They're the only country that calls it 'soccer', since football is taken by a sport where using your hands (on something that isn't really a ball, since it's not round) takes up about 90% of the game. Then they use drafts (again, the only country in the footballing world to do so), and have Diana Ross open the world cup by missing a giant, inflatable goal that explodes anyway...
@EdmacZ Hardly the truth, otherwise we wouldn't have accepted the like of Brad Friedel, Brian McBride, Claudio Reyna, and many others into the Premier League. I think the point about ignorance is the perception of football being an incredibly easy game, so much so they, for instance, hosted the World Cup, they assumed that Diana Ross could automatically kick a ball. Or, when you do make it look like you put an effort in, we find out that it's all for show, such as the video above shows.
@leerobbo92 USA 1-England 1. The only sport you are good at, one that we barely care about as a country on the whole, and you can't beat us. We even won the group. No wonder a bunch of farmers ran you out of our country.
@harpua22 Hold on. You're seriously bragging about a game that: number 1; you drew, not won, drew. Number 2; you scored possibly the shittest goal the world cup has ever seen, that involved no skill, the shot itself was of a standard you expect from an 8 year old, and was only scored because of a horrendous goalkeeping blunder, ie. hardly anything to do with what the USA did, and number 3; you rate david beckham as one of the best players in the MLS... Says it all about American "soccer"...
@harpua22 Oh, and let's not forget, the USA was essentially Britian's bitch for the preceding 80 years, and only exists because of us. No wonder your country produces some people like you and adub4ever, obviously your family lineage got short straw when it came to who we sent over... Feel sorry for the respectable and intelligent Americans who have to put up with people like you, who proclaim to be the best after one pretty poor action, or in this case, result.
@leerobbo92 And If America would have never invaded France to push the Nazi's out of Europe. Britain would probably be wiped off the face of the Earth by now. From- A Canadian.
@frozenfire550 If America hadn't held back for so long then Germany wouldn't have been able to invade so much of Europe. Also, the Nazi's weren't able to invade Britain, as they considered air superiority to be the key to succeeding, and they lost the Battle of Britain. They effectively conceded that they couldn't invade us until they had more power by attempting to invade Russia through Op. Barbarossa, when they had in fact hit a brick wall and had nowhere to turn. That was the turning point.
@frozenfire550 Don't get me wrong, I'm under no illusion that without the USA, the war would've gone on for a lot longer, and maybe even turned again for the worse, and I know that America has done a lot for us, and that isn't my problem, just as my problem isn't with America in general. It's with the small minority who can't and won't accept that America isn't number one at everything and believe that they effectively govern the world.
@harpua22 "the only sport you are good at" rugby, which is widely known outside of America to be better than that handegg shit. cricket, football, cycling, formula one, golf (top 2 golfers are british) ect. What sports is America good at? hmm Handegg (only played in North America), Basketball (again only you play and 1 or 2 others), Baseball (same), Hockey (3rd after canada and russia), America faces no competition, so they only LOOK good at sports, example worldwide "soccer"... you suck at it.
since when has anybody said "Damn ignorant Yanks don't care about our sport" lol, nobody cares if you don't play our sports. play American football all you want, the world doesn't understand that shit sport so why would we care if you play it.
@MrSweetFella i dont think so, soccer doesn't require a lot of skill. all you need is endurance, maybe reaction time for goalies. in soccer you doesn't need talent at all.
@mrfwest you doesn't?? Apart from basketball, what talent do you need in those other sports? Wear big padding and run around in gay latex pants hugging men...yeah you need to be able to pass but that just takes practice, baseball isn't exactly the most difficult sport in the world either. With football you are born with it it's not just training that makes you the best it's natural talent. You can argue the same to basketball to some extent but still not as much
@MrSweetFella you can be born with size and speed but a lot of people have that and cant make it in football. you have to be able to perform in pressure situations and a lot of other things that would take me longer to explain. baseball isn't most difficult but, you try hitting a ball going 100mph with a stick. any sport takes more talent that soccer. ----
@bearigator third world country dont spend there time playing sports. im sure they have amazing soccer players but the are busy looking for food. experience? no. why would waste time with soccer
@mrfwest You were saying that endurance is the only thing that soccer players need. Runners from those countries clean up at distance races, regardless of their country's 3rd world status. Obviously they do not spend the same amount of time (or money) dedicated to the sport, but that only proves the point that endurance isn't the only thing you need to be a good player.
@mrfwest You're an idiot if you think 3rd world countries don't play sports. Go to any town in Africa and there will be people kicking a ball around. Baseball is just swing strength and practice. Football is a natural talent..people are born with it and it's something you can't just practice for and make it to the top..that's why it's called the beautiful game
@MrSweetFella 3rd world counties dont spend as much time playing sports. are you really that dumb. you are the only person that i had to clear that up for. if you dont need practice it means the sport doesn't require skill
@mrfwest I never said you don't need practice I just said only practice won't get you anywhere...unlike other sports. Most people in 3rd world countries would spend just as much time playing sports actually, they don't have much else to keep them happy so they kick footballs around. It's plain for all to see that it's the sport which requires the most talent of all yet you seem to be too stupid to realise. go back to your padded armour and latex pants and throw some eggs around will you
@MrSweetFella ha ha ha, i am laughing at you. i dont know why you think that kicking a ball requires talent it doesn't. a toddler can play soccer. girly soccer players, you guys just fall down for no reason. then you bitch & moan until the medical crew to bring you some magical healing spray.
@mrfwest If kicking a ball doesn't require talent then how the fuck does throwing one in American "football" or swinging a bat at a small ball in baseball?
@MrSweetFella give up trying to explain to him hes a cunt who just dosn't understand that football is one of the hardest sports in the world to play, and the reason that yanks think its so easy is because there all shite so the competition is shite if they try to play for themselves, i bet this guy wouldn't even have the skill to play against an under 15s team in England.
Quite funny that I've just been watching Sky Sports report here in America, they're talking about the super bowl, and mention how Green Bay Packers coach "Rex Ryan", is confident in his team's level of preparation before the big game. Then, a snippet of a press conference where the real coach of the Packers, Mike McCarthey, is making the aforementioned statement, complete with graphic below reading, "Rex Ryan, Packers head coach." Sums up Brits knowledge of American Football :-P
Well it's not NOTHING, I mean the Super Bowl is covered in almost all countries if not all. Hey, I like both american football, and world football. I watch the world cup with the same fervor that I watch the NFL playoffs, the champions league final with the same fervor as I watch the super bowl. They are equally important. I am a fan of Netherlands and Manchester United to the same level I'm a fan of the New York Jets. So it doesn't matter. I know football, in both manifestations.
@XhoowieX I have reverence for Joe Namath, Joe Klecko, and Wesley Walker(Jets old timers) to the same degree I have reverence for Johan Cruyff, Frank De Boer, Patrick Kluivert, Dennis Bergkamp to the same degree I have reverence for Eric Cantona, Giggsy and The Ginger Prince, Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, and the Great Dane Peter Schmeichel. Just because more people in the world like it doesn't make it "the best", I don't think any one sport is any better than another. I'm entertained by all.
@1by1illknockuout Is this a bad time to let you know that I was only joking? :P If I was being more serious I'd say that the level of interest in 'soccer' in America must be much higher than the level of interest in American football in Britain, therefore making the American football mistake less stupid. Actually, scrap that. If I was to make a proper serious point it'd be that sky is owned by Americans anyway so you silly yanks don't even know your own sports! (OK, i was joking then too :P)
nothing to do with this video like but i love how americans call their teams the world champions, you cant be world champions when your the only nation competing in it... yet another example of american arrogance thinking they are the greatest country on earth. when i went around the world i really found out how hated americans are...the thais would ask if i was american and when i said no they would say oh good good.
@daveyscorer1 well........if all the teams in the world are competing, then who else could possibly be named world champions? I think when people use the term "world champs" they mean it in a level of competition manner. For example, they take major league baseball to be the highest level of baseball in the world. Therefore, the champs of the league would be the champs of the best league in the world.
US men are muscular, we lift weights over here, generally EURO's are skinny and work on there cardio.... Your Average US male would beat the crap outta a EUROPEAN... i would be ashamed if i got my butt beat by a EURO
@adub4ever you are probably the most ignorant person ever and you encapsulate every reason of why the WHOLE WORLD HATES AMERICA!!!! Because dickheads like you exist!
yeah but generally U.S. men also generally take cocks up the ass. im america its IN to be gay.. its a trend.. no amount of muscle will make up for that...
@adub4ever Lol you chat such bullshit it is actually unbelievable.... It would be logical to think you are a troll but the sad reality is that you probably are just stupid....
Just to set some records straight:
American: /watch?v=e45J0SCXO5s
European: /watch?v=MYNJITf9brg
The world's strongest man competition is always domitated by Europeans, mainly Scandinavians.
@fluffymole0913 i was just generalizing fluffy.... of course the greatest power lifters in the world come from scandanavia.... all im saying is that when i watch tv i notice that Euro's are alot smaller than Yanks.... its becuz we learn at a young age to lift weights to be strong for football.... in europe they mostly play Soccer so its more common to see them focus on cardio training
@adub4ever You know, you're part of a growing problem. That problem is that many of us good U.S citizens have to take the verbal punishment from other people from other countries, because assholes like you deem yourself superior to others, because you're from the U.S.A. People like you need to die, so this country and its inhabitants can become respectable again.
@smokintheblaze why do you care what the rest of the world thinks about america?
the world has an inferiority complex when it comes to America... they are under a delusion that we should like a sport just be cause the rest of the world does
@mrfwest I care because I love this country. It's been my home since I was born. A bad rep for a country extends to it's people, and me and others would love to travel to other countries someday in the near future without having to worry about someone getting violent with me over the fact that we're from the U.S. The world care less about the sports we partake in, and care more about being seen as an equal to everyone else.
@smokintheblaze they are going to be against America regardless, because they have an inferiority complex. forcing yourself to watch a boring game wont change that. they see as superior, it doesn't matter if they believe it or not. they do...
if they didn't, they wouldn't care so much about what we decide to play. do you think they would care if Somalia played soccer? ask yourself, why do they care what we think...when we dont care about what they think
It's not so much that the rest of the world hates America.As a recent immigrant to America I can attest to this "arrogance".It's not even a conscious thing - some native-born American think other people less capable.
I was excited for the USA in 1990's when they won the right to host the world and then I listened, first with concern, then with alarm as Americans were plannig to make wholesale changes to the way the game is played.
cater to the advertisers.Next they wanted to get rid of penalty shoot-outs as a way to break ties in favor of something exotic(I don't remember what it was).Then they wanted to enlarge goalposts so that more goals can go in and thereby make the game "exciting".I was stunned.I sensed a big attitude problem with America and I hope people in this will do some soul-searching.
@vuyo1100 i love the hypocrisy. you don't want the us to change the Rule of soccer ( I.E 4 quarters ) and that's understandable.
but why do they change a the rules of basketball. ( I.E euroball ) if you ask me the rest of the world is the arrogant ones. you are basically saying " we can do whatever we want but you have to listen to us. "
@mrfwest Lol who gives a fuck about what YOU do? Why will your country not be a talking point when they keep poking their noses where its none of their business. Why do you think Iraqis ans Iranians and co hate the US? You want to help them run their country? Right, why don't you fix yours first. And how the fuck did basketball come into this? Did I mention it? lol
@Mrcyberboy18 1st. i dont care what Iraq or Iran think. ( or any other country for that matter ) the video is proof of Europe obsession with the US. ( this show isn't even american, its Canadian )
the simple fact that you started commenting to me, when no one was talking to you is proof of that.
@mrfwest Lol idiot. I saw your dumb comment and decided to save your life from ignorance. Canada calls the sport "soccer" too and most people outside North America don't know that, so they just assume its the US so I understand why the uploader made the mistake. "I don't care what other countries think" lol your government does not share the same view. If they had that mindset in the first place, there would be no hate for the US.
@Mrcyberboy18 if the government cared what you think, they would make policies that pleases you. ( obviously we don't ) we have that mind set. we do what we want when we want and we really dont care what you think.
@adub4ever You know, you're part of a growing problem. That problem is that many of us good U.S citizens have to take the verbal punishment from other people from other countries, because assholes like you deem yourself superior to others, because you're from the U.S.A. People like you need to die, so this country and its inhabitants can become respectable again.
@adub4ever ok lets just look at the worlds best fighting sport which is boxing ok david haye is european ok best heavyweight boxer well him and the klitchkos theyre all european well stronger than any fat yank and how many good yank heavyweight boxers are theyre thats right none so now you can shut the fuck up
@fathead466 Mike tyson....george foreman.....evander holyfield....muhammad ali....joe frazier.....joe louis.....jack johnson....larry holmes....jack dempsey....lennox lewis....rocky marciano just to name a few...heavyweights
@oJKBo i meant at this moment in time and by the way muhammid isnt really an american he hates america, lennox lewis is british, rocky marciano is italian and the rest of your boxers are african american more african than american
@fathead466 i thought he held dual citizenship but it was UK/Canada and not UK/US so i was wrong there. Ali isn't american....even though he was born and grew up in america, he wasn't american because he disagreed with the US government. For someone so rich who hated the US it's quite odd he still lives here. Marciano was born in Massachusetts...which isn't in italy? more african than american...because american is a race right? so youre saying blacks are african and only whites are american
@oJKBo america isnt a race its a country a race is white people, asians, black people etc and marciano parents was italian and he spent most of his time in italy i will continue this arguement tomorrow
@fathead466 so then why are you saying the boxers are more african than american lol. how are they less american than jack dempsey??? my parents are british, guess im british then. Racially they were all sorts of races (black isn't a race btw, neither is african as there are all sorts of ethnic groups that stretch the african continent. Do the berbers look like the zulu?) please do, i cant wait to hear all the stupidity you have in store.
@fathead466 how is it that jack dempsey gets to be american but frazier gets to be african? oh, sorry, i forgot, Fraziers ancestors came from africa and dempseys came from america. After all, american is not only a nationality but a race
@fathead466 actually im pretty sure lennox lewis is actually Canadian (i could be wrong but think he's like a canadian who grew up in england or had English parents or something)
@bbmurf84 lewis was born in britain he spent time in canada although hes been in britain more type this in on utube if you dont believe me (lennox lewis im british and im bad)
Seriously, do you americans REALLY think people from across the world can tell the difference between an american accent and a Canadian accent? use your heads idiots.
basically america if you haven't noticed you suck and the world hates you. but then again you class your selves as the only important thing in the world when really you've never actually done anything.

Honestly, the MLS has already gained interest with investors and they are willing to pay big bucks for big names. Just wait and see.

It's average attendance per game surpasses NBA and NHL by a few hundred per game.
but , overall attendance it doesn't. It's a good sign for MLS , or world football fans.
But, a bad sign for people like me who are NHL fans. I'm not sure who watches NBA, except in the cities, and maybe on the coasts. I know places like Indiana are basketball country, and I definitely played the hell out of it growing up. Just refering to the location of fans.
aeternusero 3 weeks ago
@aeternusero Well I suppose it has to do with the geographical locations of fans, for example in LA not that many people follow hockey as they do in Chicago or Toronto. We mainly watch basketball. But as soon as the MLS begins private ownership of teams then players with higher quality will be able to be hired to play here. But that isn't gonna happen for a while.

The rest of the world should be happy soccer is so unpopular in the U.S. As a result of it's lack of popularity here probably only our 5th best pro athletes play it with our best athletes playing American football, basketball, baseball, hockey. etc. pretty much in that order. If all our best talented athletes went for soccer the rest of the world would soon become sick of how much we would dominate the sport.

@tuija321 If you realized what a huge pool of incredibly talented pro athletes exist in American (NFL) football, basketball and baseball you would know what I speak of. If soccer was the #1 sport here then most of them would be playing on MLS teams. but soccer doesn't appeal to most americans sensibilities. I for one have tried to embrace it but it's hard for me to like having been raised on American style sports. Perhaps because US sports depend on hand eye coord.. and it doesn't.

tuija321 1 month ago
@tuija321 Not sure what you mean "balon d'ore" but if you're referring to the subpar talent of the mls then what do you expect? Like I said the mls only draws maybe the fifth most talented athletes in the states. Not suprising when you consider the average mls player earns about $154,000 compared to $1.9 million in the NFL (american style football) and $5.14 million in the NBA. If money was in the mls then alot of awesome talent would be but the money's not there because no interest.

We've come a long way since World Cup 1994. It's just a matter of time before were among the elite teams in the world. Its not like America to sit around and not try to be the best at something

indiansoccerfan10 1 month ago
@indiansoccerfan10 If you really need to ask, I spose I'll answer for you.
Soccer is not well liked in America because it is horribly boring. 90 minutes that pretty much consists of kicking a stupid ball back and forth with hardly any action occuring that tends to result in every game ending in a 0-0 score.
The only action to note of is when any player gets barely touched by another and then acts as if he had just been shot on the ground rolling in "extreme" pain.
Soccer is a joke man
Slotten68 1 month ago
@indiansoccerfan10 And lets be real here....The only reason Soccer is the "world's game" is because any third world poor ass country can afford a makeshift soccer ball to kick around and aim in between two trees. If the rest of the world could afford sports equipment and large facilities, maybe the rest of the world would see why the US is completely unimpressed by how shitty stupid soccer is. If you like watching fake injuries and 0-0 ties, thats cool I guess. I'll take my American sports plz

@Slotten68 1) Thank you for not using any cursing words. This makes you the first person on youtube I have talked to not to use them.
2) My example of American Sports being played in "3rd World Counties": American Football: A ball, Cricket Padding (Yes they can be used for cricket), Cricket Hat
Baseball: A ball and a Cricket bat
Basketball: A basket and a ball
Hockey: Well I have no example as you need lots of money for this
But ya 3rd World Countries can still play American Sports
indiansoccerfan10 1 month ago
@Slotten68 Also let me ask you. If 3rd World Countries can't play American Sports because of equipment than how come they play sports like Cricket which require lots of ground and equipment. Im just saying that you can't really say that these places can't afford American Sports when there are other internationally loved sports that require the same amount of money
indiansoccerfan10 1 month ago
@indiansoccerfan10 What you argue is partially true...but my point is this: Perhaps very poor countries can afford very simple padding & equipment for some "American" sports (Basketball, Baseball & Hockey) but that doens't make them popular. In America we watch these sports on TV, we have parks in every city with facilities & equipment. in poor countries they probably don't even know what these sports are
But everyone knows and can play soccer. That is soccer's appeal that doesn't work in USA

@EdmacZ Hardly... It's because Americans have to do it in their own, inimitable style of being totally clueless. They're the only country that calls it 'soccer', since football is taken by a sport where using your hands (on something that isn't really a ball, since it's not round) takes up about 90% of the game. Then they use drafts (again, the only country in the footballing world to do so), and have Diana Ross open the world cup by missing a giant, inflatable goal that explodes anyway...

@EdmacZ Hardly the truth, otherwise we wouldn't have accepted the like of Brad Friedel, Brian McBride, Claudio Reyna, and many others into the Premier League. I think the point about ignorance is the perception of football being an incredibly easy game, so much so they, for instance, hosted the World Cup, they assumed that Diana Ross could automatically kick a ball. Or, when you do make it look like you put an effort in, we find out that it's all for show, such as the video above shows.

@frozenfire550 If America hadn't held back for so long then Germany wouldn't have been able to invade so much of Europe. Also, the Nazi's weren't able to invade Britain, as they considered air superiority to be the key to succeeding, and they lost the Battle of Britain. They effectively conceded that they couldn't invade us until they had more power by attempting to invade Russia through Op. Barbarossa, when they had in fact hit a brick wall and had nowhere to turn. That was the turning point.

@frozenfire550 Don't get me wrong, I'm under no illusion that without the USA, the war would've gone on for a lot longer, and maybe even turned again for the worse, and I know that America has done a lot for us, and that isn't my problem, just as my problem isn't with America in general.

mrfwest 1 year ago
@mrfwest you doesn't?? Apart from basketball, what talent do you need in those other sports? Wear big padding and run around in gay latex pants hugging men...yeah you need to be able to pass but that just takes practice, baseball isn't exactly the most difficult sport in the world either. With football you are born with it it's not just training that makes you the best it's natural talent. You can argue the same to basketball to some extent but still not as much
MrSweetFella 1 year ago
@MrSweetFella you can be born with size and speed but a lot of people have that and cant make it in football. you have to be able to perform in pressure situations and a lot of other things that would take me longer to explain. baseball isn't most difficult but, you try hitting a ball going 100mph with a stick. any sport takes more talent that soccer. ----

@mrfwest I never said you don't need practice I just said only practice won't get you anywhere...unlike other sports.

Therefore, the champs of the league would be the champs of the best league in the world.

@adub4ever You know, you're part of a growing problem. That problem is that many of us good U.S citizens have to take the verbal punishment from other people from other countries, because assholes like you deem yourself superior to others, because you're from the U.S.A. People like you need to die, so this country and its inhabitants can become respectable again.

@oJKBo i meant at this moment in time and by the way muhammid isnt really an american he hates america, lennox lewis is british, rocky marciano is italian and the rest of your boxers are african american more african than american

@fathead466 i thought he held dual citizenship but it was UK/Canada and not UK/US so i was wrong there. Ali isn't american....even though he was born and grew up in america, he wasn't american because he disagreed with the US government. For someone so rich who hated the US it's quite odd he still lives here. Marciano was born in Massachusetts...which isn't in italy? more african than american...because american is a race right? so youre saying blacks are african and only whites are american

@oJKBo america isnt a race its a country a race is white people, asians, black people etc and marciano parents was italian and he spent most of his time in italy i will continue this arguement tomorrow

@fathead466 so then why are you saying the boxers are more african than american lol. how are they less american than jack dempsey??? my parents are british, guess im british then. Racially they were all sorts of races (black isn't a race btw, neither is african as there are all sorts of ethnic groups that stretch the african continent. Do the berbers look like the zulu?) please do, i cant wait to hear all the stupidity you have in store.

@fathead466 how is it that jack dempsey gets to be american but frazier gets to be african? oh, sorry, i forgot, Fraziers ancestors came from africa and dempseys came from america. After all, american is not only a nationality but a race
