Fuck Jim Rome. Derp derp de derr. Caveman don't understand anything new. How do you have your own show? Do you know how I know your a complete retard? You like Alexi Lalas. The dumbest shit to represent soccer...ever.
Simple mind, He just don't understand the passion involved in football but he like going to a fatball game eating a big hotdog and watch men in spandex touch each other for 5hours while u only get about 2 mins of real sport. I would love to c him say that in the UK or any other country that not America

JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK, JIM ROME SUCKS DICK.
@Slotten68 the reason that u think eggball is more entertaining is because your fatass needs an excuse to have moree bareques fucking about to fall asleep cuz u bored at least i understand eggball n again we dont talk shit because its the most populaur sport ever
When he said 'Theory Henry' I laughed so hard I nearly shat a lung.
Honestly, forgetting about the football (soccer) vs eggball argument, the real problem here is that this passes as humour in America. Hell, you guys can't even spell humour.
@StooBainbridge ya i guess somebody should tell you it is spelled humor. And to Americans making fun of soccer is so much fun just because it is so easy.
@putzbasterd Sorry putz, but until you invent your own language, it's spelt humour. Making fun of football (for hand-egg fans - read that as as 'soccer') is pretty easy, but this guy really sucks at it. How can someone with that much fake tan call anything gay?
@putzbasterd Had to google that :D If those guys on Jersey Shore are teaching lifestyle philosophy over in the states, then you guys really have problems.
im american and the reason is just simply no one knows anything about the sport, its the same in europe with american football they all think its stupid but they dont understand it but actually both sports are really good sports, people are just ignorant and cant accept that they dont understand the sport so they just say it sucks
I don't think Jim Rome actually hates soccer. His arguments are the same arguments as 80% of America, but in reality, none of those arguments are any good. "Soccer is too long?" It's only 90 minutes, and its continuous. American football has more commercials and time-outs and it's longer than any other sport in the world. Football isn't really a high scoring game either, what the game ended 21-7? That's because each touchdown is worth 6 +1 for the field goal. American football is BORING!!
@tophu1021 Soccer is extremely boring. I'd argue that "American football" is without question the most entertaining TV sport there is. Why else could they get away with making a 60 minute game 3.5 hours? Its edge of your seat action every single play. When I watch soccer I'm on the edge of my seat because I'm about to fall asleep and land face first on the floor.
why d fuck dis he still watch soccer then, oh and his kids well and up to like soccer best fucking sport of all time. sport that has been longer in dis world than any of the all the sports jim is fan of.
Jim Rome your NFL Americanfootball sucks major donkey balls ok, its no better, I would never watch a full NFL Americanfootball game why?? Lets see a 45 minute game into a 3 hour project who wants to watch commericals all the time where is the sport? NFL needs to rethink there sport, Rugby is a more mans sport where they man handle each other and hardly where any pads at all...NFL sucks, and Baseketball sucks too.
Every sport has their fans and I happen to be a soccer guy I love it. I'll admit it I used to hate it then I saw the international aspect of it and all the history I just fell in love. To be honest eventually Jim Rome will be fired because he doesn't like soccer. 20 years America will be the soccer powerhouse u guys just wait. USA 2014 even though Germany is gonna win it.
Lol, Futbol is obviously not an American sport. I don't see anything wrong with it. But then again, I guess watching cars turning left all day long is something America takes pride in.
You spend so much time talking about soccer Jim.. I can't say how many times you have said the word Soccer, and Theory Henry.. Deep down inside, Jim, ..you really love soccer
I love Rome trying to rationalize his 180's on horse racing and NASCAR. He now embraces horse racing because its lucrative and he makes money off of it as an owner. Of course its an awesome sport to him. NASCAR now airs many of its races on ESPN, the same network that carries Jim Rome Is Burning. Can't be bashing one of the network's golden children on said network!
@hoagmatt Telling it like it is? What exactly does he point out? What's his point? Soccer is boring? Wow. No american has ever labeled soccer boring before. Groundbreaking stuff from Rome. He has no idea what he's talking about and his ignorance is embarrassing.
how the yanks can watch football if u dont know the "OFF SIDE RULE" ,if u dont know it u cant understand the game thats why football dont make sense to you ,once u got it u can tell why they pass it back and all they do on the pitch .
@rock508 No I don't..ha. I care for a lot of reasons. Soccer is isn't big in america because corps. like coca-cola can't make that much money advertising in a 90 min of a soccer game. They CAN make millions off a 3 hour baseball/football game so they do that and that is what gets you on TV here.
@rock508 Not them. Lazy Americans who unconditionally buy what their sold. You must be one of these people. Btw idk anything about obamacare I doubt you know a whole lot about it either
He might well be pants-on-head retarded if he fails to get a straw in a Capri-sun. As for his nonsensical soccer rant, his logic is completely flawed. If a goal was worth 10 points instead of one he'd piss his pants and love the sport. Ridiculous.
Whats there not to get? It's just a sport. If you don't like it, then leave it alone. Not many people here in England like baseball or NFL but we don't sit around bashing it and making fun of it and picking apart every aspect of it when the Super Bowl or World Series rolls around.
Jim Rome can do whatever he wants, who gives a fuck hes an idiot piece of shit pseudo reporter that wants to blow alexi lalas, and black Nba players in the locker room. And so do his fans. So im gonna keep enjoying the world's best sport, and yes im an american. Real american (not a spicfuck)
@allegromarcato that is my point. I wanted to say that the name of the sport is not soccer, it is football. But I realized that if write "I really hate soccer, but I really like football" everybody was going to think that the word football was in reference to the American Football, so wrote the word FUTBOL (spanish) to make the distintion.
@TonHernandez86 Use the word when you write in Spanish. The sport is know internationally as football. I don't call the other sport football; I call it rugby with helmets! Look for Cleese's video on football. It's funny, you'll like it!
If i could kill anyone in the world it would be this cock sucking american fuckhead who knows absolutely nothing about about the worlds greatest sport
so the guys goin on about how he hates soccer cus its full of cheaters and then he goes on about how if you're not cheatin you're not tryin........*sigh*
As a rugby player, it is so funny when I play soccer now and again. Basically if the ball is not within a 20m radius, you dont do jack shit and just stand there, it is such a selfish sport when you see one player just running on his own, not thinking to pass it to his 'teammates' and then ends up losing the ball, possibly diving on the floor depending on what he feels like.
@idontlike101 You try running non-stop for an hour and a half. In American football, you get a 10 minute break every 5 minutes, In basketball you get a break every 5 minutes, and in baseball you hardly run at all.
@Headcheezonium Not really, in soccer you don't run for the full hour and a half, in fact they're not running more like fucking jogging, in american football, you contact which uses more strength, in basketball you jump and run, baseball tests you mental ability, strength, and endurance, in soccer all you do is jogg around back and forth.
@idontlike101 you must be a fucking moron to think any of that shit! have you ever even watched soccer? or basketball? or baseball? literally nothing you said is not fucking imbecilic at best.
@15thavenueboys Yes I've watched every sport I love every sport besides soccer, what it athletic about running back and forth. simple as that. Lately seems like you havent watch that piece of shit.
Soccer doesn't have you run non-stop for an hour and half. The action merely shifts up-field or down-field, and the 3 or 4 players around the ball (except for set plays) are the ones actively playing the ball, at this time the others are not doing anything.
That is nothing more than a subjective argument. You like soccer becuase you grew up on it. I actually used to like soccer and then I turned sour on the whole thing. Just freaking tired of falling asleep in the 30th minute and waking up in 88th minute to find the score, nil-nil....lol! And mind you, these were Champions League Games.
soccer game last 90 min. baseball games last 5 hours. baseball is thee worst "sport" in the world hahahahah real athletic baseball is. Hitting a ball with a bat. Hmmm i wonder whats going to happen in this baseball game today? do you thing someones going to do the same thing over and over for the whole game?
@miklaylay30 Its much more than that you fucking idiot. Soccer lasts about 1hr 30m and I heard that players run an average 6miles in the game, so there running about 2 miles per 30ms, That is pathetic. All you do is kick around a ball bakck and forth every time. Baseball, many things can happen, you hit a single, double, triple, or a home run. The players have to know all the situations that can roll out. Soccer sucks bud, everybody should just accept it. Dont get pussy tight about it.
there's so much complexity in the bull pen alone....what kind of pitch to throw at a certain count. What location you need to pitch to right hander as opposed to a lefty...etc.
@suryavajra Exactly! Baseball is one tough sport. There are too many decisions to do, there is so many situations, and you have to adjust to the outcome. Soccer on the other hand is nothing but kicking a ball back and forth into a net.
Oh for sure.....and on the other side there are counts when the batter should just let rip, and counts where the batter shouldn't even swing at. A baseball game is really interesting just because as you said, there's so much depth, a lot happening within the game.
@suryavajra Yes honeslty once you start thinking about it, it's like one of the toughest sports to play. Just trying to hit a fastball going at about 90-99mph, curveballs, change ups, etc. Baseball should be called "the king of sports" not soccer.
funny thing is that the hardest pitch is actually one of the most slowest: the knuckleball. How many pitchers in MLB throw the knuckle ball?? 1?? Maybe 2??
Totally ironic. It's Tim Wakefield. The great thing about him is that because of the knuckleball he'll never have to worry about pitch count or a tired arm. They can bring him in as a starter or a reliever and on back to back nights.
hilarious that he thinks soccer is a long game, it takes 90-100 minutes give or take a few minutes, an average football game is on for 3 hours, baseball 4+. jim rome sucks all he does is bitch.
i am american and i think tackleball or football is getting very boring abd i think it was about time we all americans watch soccer.face it soccer should be called football cuz u usin your foot and kickin a ball.soccer all da way wins overall.
@vladradforpres5 Well, whoever said worldwide we are talking about America. The NFL makes more money yearly than the MLB and NBA combined. Considering how many more games the NBA and MLB play per year than the NFL thats a big deal. I don't know why the rest of the world wants soccer to be big here, if it was our soccer league would make more money and steal all the best players from europe. I don't think europeans would like that.
@DavidCastoe You said worldwide. That's the reason I replied to your comment. I'm aware the NFL is the top dog among pro AMerican sports leagues. The rest of the world actually doesn't want the US to get into soccer because they know if we did, we'd absolutely dominate. I agree the Europeans don't want us playing.
Which leads to another point, why do you think FIFA raised such a hissy fit on the NASL?? Or that in order to host the World Cup, the NASL had to not only scrap all of it's ''North American inspired rules'' AND take a backseat to the MLS which is, let's face it, an inferior product foised on us by FIFA??
The only thing that's hateful than soccer are the fans. Pea brained idiots that, in addition to what JR mentioned, sat in the stands every game pointlessly blowing irritating horns non stop for 3 & 1/2 hours. What a mentality that takes. Almost as sensible as 22 jerks kicking a ball around a half acre lawn to a stalemate, playing a game designed for Thalidomide babies. Here comes a 60 yd punt! I'll field it with my skull! It's a waste of good athletes.
@rogerrodd here comes a 400 lb man wearing more protective gear than you can shake a stick at, let me try and stop him from jumping on the guy with the oblong ball, a game designed for the simple minded that like seeing pretty numbers flash on the scoreboard. a game that has so many rules and complications that most of these simple minded fans can't keep track of them. So the fans stuff their faces with $30 worth of beer and nachos while a bunch of college dropouts slug it out.
1. If it's "a game designed for the simple minded", how come YOU can't follow the rules?
2. Beer stuffed fans that don't riot and commit acts of random violence on and off of the field over 3 hours of scoreless boredom, DOESN'T indicate a superior mind to you?
3. A sport that prohibits almost ALL use of the hands? If I put that rule into your life, you'd be celibate.
@Kory4000 No, its the fact that he hates something and automatically assuming that other sports are better. Its the whole "I gave soccer a try, yeah, NOT!" aspect of the video. You can't hate something without first trying to be open minded. The world hates America because they think we're ignorant and arrogant, and this video is a great example of that. How can the most watched sport in the world be so wrong?
How long of day do you have?? lol! et's start with #1.....FIFA's control of soccer is so tight and absolutel, they'd make the NFL, NBA and MLB blush. They pretty much make all the decisions in secret without an transparency in special offices in Switzerland.
On the other hand, I am totally intrigued and interested to learn more about rugby. That's a sport that really does look like something Americans could get into and embrace. Soccer, not so much, for many, many reasons.
@suryavajra our foreign policy is mostly to blame for the arrogance and ignorance. we just march into other countries when we aren't asked or needed and try to "fix" the situation. plus our school system is in the tubes right now. onto the fifa part. while fifa does control a very large and important soccer event, the world cup, it is hardly the most exciting event in the sport.
Well Jim Rome is a sports commentator, primarily of North American sports. So it's reasonable to assume that Fsoccer, rugby and Gaelic Football wouldn't be covered.
@KanapkaDrobakha Not everyone likes his smart-ass sense of humor. It's up my alley but I can see how he rubs some people the wrong way. To each their own.
For the record, I do like soccer but still find this funny. He's just trying to get a rise out of people, I think.
if this chode sucker hates football so much then why does he waste his time on it? football fans worldwide dont sit around dedicating parts of their shows to making fun of american sports because they could give a shit less about them!!! i find that not worrying about what i dont like makes them much less annoying.
like it or not you fag jim rome, soccer is the most popular sport BY FAR throughout the world. Not football, not basketball, and CERTAINLY not baseball which doesn't even qualify as a sport (running around bases, chewing tobacco, spitting, and eating hotdogs is not a sport pal its a pastime like bowling or horseshoes) So go suck your mothers penis and shut the fuck up you douchebag
Well people who don't like soccer consistently have one thing on the top of their list as to why they don't like it. Lack of any real offense in many, many games. If 5-4 games happened on a regular basis, those would be like nail biters to the wire.
@suryavajra But couldn't you also make the argument that low-scoring games are more dramatic? It makes each goal and each missed opportunity mean that much more. You can see the anguish on a player's face when he misses a good scoring chance because he knows that goals are at a premium. I think that's part of the intrigue.
@suryavajra Can't disagree with you on that one. Penalty kicks are a shitty way to end a game. No team sport should be decided in a glorified individual skills competition.
There's gotta be a reason why he hates soccer so much. Most people just say "not my cup of tea" if they don't like a sport and leave it at that. Maybe he got cut from his high school soccer team and is still traumatized by it, lol.
There's only one thing that pisses me off about soccer...when players on the defense throw up their arm and look around for the offside flag even on the most borderline of plays. Some of them will literally stop playing and wait for the ref to blow the whistle. Dude, keep playing and try to stop the guy. If he blows the whistle, then stop. It always reminds me of when Chuck Knoblauch just stood at first base in the '98 ALCS waiting for a call from the ump that never came.
Sport, regardless of sport is like religion. If you were raised to like american football you will like it. If you were raised to like soccer, you'll like soccer. just like if you were born in a christian home you'll be a christian. Every jew/christian/muslim thinks their god is better just like every sports fan thinks their favorite sport is the best. No matter what we will argue in favor of our favorite game. There is nothing that could change either sides mind. P.S: Football (soccer) FTW!
@st393736 But that isn't the point. The point isn't why it's easier to score in other sports. The point is that this is a problem that soccer needs to fix to make it EASIER to score (and therefore less boring and futile). Make the goal even bigger, get rid of goalkeepers entirely, SOMETHING!
Fuck Jim Rome. Derp derp de derr. Caveman don't understand anything new. How do you have your own show? Do you know how I know your a complete retard? You like Alexi Lalas. The dumbest shit to represent soccer...ever.

@allegromarcato that is my point. I wanted to say that the name of the sport is not soccer, it is football. But I realized that if write "I really hate soccer, but I really like football" everybody was going to think that the word football was in reference to the American Football, so wrote the word FUTBOL (spanish) to make the distintion.
TonHernandez86 4 months ago
@TonHernandez86 Use the word when you write in Spanish. The sport is know internationally as football. I don't call the other sport football; I call it rugby with helmets! Look for Cleese's video on football. It's funny, you'll like it!

As a rugby player, it is so funny when I play soccer now and again. Basically if the ball is not within a 20m radius, you dont do jack shit and just stand there, it is such a selfish sport when you see one player just running on his own, not thinking to pass it to his 'teammates' and then ends up losing the ball, possibly diving on the floor depending on what he feels like.

idontlike101 5 months ago
@idontlike101 You try running non-stop for an hour and a half. In American football, you get a 10 minute break every 5 minutes, In basketball you get a break every 5 minutes, and in baseball you hardly run at all.
Headcheezonium 5 months ago
@Headcheezonium Not really, in soccer you don't run for the full hour and a half, in fact they're not running more like fucking jogging, in american football, you contact which uses more strength, in basketball you jump and run, baseball tests you mental ability, strength, and endurance, in soccer all you do is jogg around back and forth.

@Headcheezonium
Soccer doesn't have you run non-stop for an hour and half. The action merely shifts up-field or down-field, and the 3 or 4 players around the ball (except for set plays) are the ones actively playing the ball, at this time the others are not doing anything.

miklaylay30 6 months ago 2
@miklaylay30 Its much more than that you fucking idiot. Soccer lasts about 1hr 30m and I heard that players run an average 6miles in the game, so there running about 2 miles per 30ms, That is pathetic. All you do is kick around a ball bakck and forth every time. Baseball, many things can happen, you hit a single, double, triple, or a home run. The players have to know all the situations that can roll out. Soccer sucks bud, everybody should just accept it. Dont get pussy tight about it.

@idontlike101
there's so much complexity in the bull pen alone....what kind of pitch to throw at a certain count. What location you need to pitch to right hander as opposed to a lefty...etc.
suryavajra 5 months ago
@suryavajra Exactly! Baseball is one tough sport. There are too many decisions to do, there is so many situations, and you have to adjust to the outcome. Soccer on the other hand is nothing but kicking a ball back and forth into a net.
idontlike101 5 months ago
@idontlike101
Oh for sure.....and on the other side there are counts when the batter should just let rip, and counts where the batter shouldn't even swing at. A baseball game is really interesting just because as you said, there's so much depth, a lot happening within the game.
suryavajra 5 months ago
@suryavajra Yes honeslty once you start thinking about it, it's like one of the toughest sports to play. Just trying to hit a fastball going at about 90-99mph, curveballs, change ups, etc. Baseball should be called "the king of sports" not soccer.
idontlike101 5 months ago

funny thing is that the hardest pitch is actually one of the most slowest: the knuckleball. How many pitchers in MLB throw the knuckle ball?? 1?? Maybe 2??

Totally ironic. It's Tim Wakefield. The great thing about him is that because of the knuckleball he'll never have to worry about pitch count or a tired arm. They can bring him in as a starter or a reliever and on back to back nights.

Considering how many more games the NBA and MLB play per year than the NFL thats a big deal. I don't know why the rest of the world wants soccer to be big here, if it was our soccer league would make more money and steal all the best players from europe. I don't think europeans would like that.

@DavidCastoe You said worldwide. That's the reason I replied to your comment. I'm aware the NFL is the top dog among pro AMerican sports leagues. The rest of the world actually doesn't want the US to get into soccer because they know if we did, we'd absolutely dominate. I agree the Europeans don't want us playing.

Pea brained idiots that, in addition to what JR mentioned, sat in the stands every game pointlessly blowing irritating horns non stop for 3 & 1/2 hours. What a mentality that takes. Almost as sensible as 22 jerks kicking a ball around a half acre lawn to a stalemate, playing a game designed for Thalidomide babies. Here comes a 60 yd punt! I'll field it with my skull!

@rogerrodd here comes a 400 lb man wearing more protective gear than you can shake a stick at, let me try and stop him from jumping on the guy with the oblong ball, a game designed for the simple minded that like seeing pretty numbers flash on the scoreboard. a game that has so many rules and complications that most of these simple minded fans can't keep track of them. So the fans stuff their faces with $30 worth of beer and nachos while a bunch of college dropouts slug it out.
PbCon45 6 months ago
@PbCon45 Three items for your consideration:
1. If it's "a game designed for the simple minded", how come YOU can't follow the rules?
2. Beer stuffed fans that don't riot and commit acts of random violence on and off of the field over 3 hours of scoreless boredom, DOESN'T indicate a superior mind to you?
3. A sport that prohibits almost ALL use of the hands? If I put that rule into your life, you'd be celibate.

@Kory4000 No, its the fact that he hates something and automatically assuming that other sports are better. Its the whole "I gave soccer a try, yeah, NOT!" aspect of the video.

How can the most watched sport in the world be so wrong?

How long of day do you have?? lol! et's start with #1.....FIFA's control of soccer is so tight and absolutel, they'd make the NFL, NBA and MLB blush. They pretty much make all the decisions in secret without an transparency in special offices in Switzerland.
On the other hand, I am totally intrigued and interested to learn more about rugby. That's a sport that really does look like something Americans could get into and embrace. Soccer, not so much, for many, many reasons.

Do you really think someone who doesn't like soccer would change their attitude if 5-4 games happened on a regular basis?
MrMatt8204 7 months ago
@MrMatt8204
Well people who don't like soccer consistently have one thing on the top of their list as to why they don't like it. Lack of any real offense in many, many games. If 5-4 games happened on a regular basis, those would be like nail biters to the wire.
suryavajra 7 months ago
@suryavajra But couldn't you also make the argument that low-scoring games are more dramatic? It makes each goal and each missed opportunity mean that much more. You can see the anguish on a player's face when he misses a good scoring chance because he knows that goals are at a premium. I think that's part of the intrigue.
MrMatt8204 7 months ago
@MrMatt8204
Yeah, but one problem. If it goes to penalty kicks, than the result really sucks....
The problem with many lower scoring affairs, is that offenses are just caught so flat footed against a massed defense that it doesn't get close...

Or it could be that the other team decided to park the bus.
Kal061606 7 months ago
@suryavajra Can't disagree with you on that one. Penalty kicks are a shitty way to end a game. No team sport should be decided in a glorified individual skills competition.
MrMatt8204 7 months ago
There's gotta be a reason why he hates soccer so much. Most people just say "not my cup of tea" if they don't like a sport and leave it at that. Maybe he got cut from his high school soccer team and is still traumatized by it, lol.
MrMatt8204 7 months ago
There's only one thing that pisses me off about soccer...when players on the defense throw up their arm and look around for the offside flag even on the most borderline of plays. Some of them will literally stop playing and wait for the ref to blow the whistle. Dude, keep playing and try to stop the guy. If he blows the whistle, then stop. It always reminds me of when Chuck Knoblauch just stood at first base in the '98 ALCS waiting for a call from the ump that never came.

Every jew/christian/muslim thinks their god is better just like every sports fan thinks their favorite sport is the best. No matter what we will argue in favor of our favorite game. There is nothing that could change either sides mind. P.S: Football (soccer) FTW!
