More evidence of why soccer sucks.
Then almost all sports suck. I don't expect people who wasn't born in a soccer country to love the game.

Ok... yeah. Our best athletes clearly prefer soccer. Not football or basketball or anything else. Got me there.
Don't you have a soccer game that will end in another scoreless tie to go beat off to?

Why do you even call it football? Sure you kick the ball one time or another but basketball has the same amount of the ball touching the feet situation. The only difference is it's illegal. Not that I don't admire the sport it's pretty kickass.

We have plenty of ability to play it. It's just that the athletes in the US choose to play: Basketball, American Football, Hockey, baseball, Golf, Bowling, Tiddly Winks, Drive in a circle, and Football again before soccer.
Where in most countries it's soccer then Basketball and the rest.

Plenty of Americans play and enjoy soccer, the MLS is seeing a lot of growth, especially with EPL stars coming over to play for MLS teams (even if they're a bit washed up like Beckham).
I grow tired of seeing Americans trash a sport they've never attempted to watch, and I'm equally tired of Europeans that get all bent out of shape when some dares to criticize the "beautiful game".
The history of football can be traced to early versions of rugby football and association football. Both games have their origins in varieties of football played in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, in which a ball is kicked at a goal and/or run over a line. Many games known as "football" were being played at colleges and universities in the United States in the first half of the 19th century.

Good to know. I prefered MLS many times in FIFA games when I played career mode. Went for Chicago Fire mostly. I'd go for a name like barge-ball, crash-ball, bump-ball, bang-ball, thrash-ball or smth like that for American football.

Well I must admit soccer is more of a lower class type of sport compared to basketball. The environment around less fortunate kids is more suitable to play it. Maybe it's about the sub-culture, maybe about the government's politics about motivating the young ones. But even though I've seen poor kids play ball in US on crappy courts, I can say for many countries it is considered that way. I don't wanna sound like a dick but even famous soccer players said that before. It's one hell of a sport for the ones who are in love with it though. It's pretty intense, this love. You must have heard the hooliganism issue in soccer-centered countries. It shapes the sports culture of those societies. The chanting for one thing, crowd groups compose songs, marches, poems for their teams. They put their entire lives in it. They care more about the supporting part than the result and the game itself. So if a sports club of a soccer team parts in the basketball league for example, they go their games and chant the same way, maybe fight the same way. NBA crowd's "Offense! Defence!" cheering sounds lame to ears at first, but US crowd is more into the game, more perceptive about it that way I guess. Sorry if I flied from one crap to another.

He didn't pass it to the mismatch cutting to the basket even though his passing lane was open. He also had a wide open teammate for the 3 in the corner.
Come to think of it, the U.S.A. is playing defense like they're up big...
