>yes because you use your foot so much.....
soccer is a joke. all you gotta do is learn how to fake a fall and throw your hands up after you fall.
That's a ridiculous thing to say.
Go check some stats on how much ground a soccer player covers in a match, compare that to NFL then tell me it's a joke.
Players regularly cover 10KM+ in a match, much of it sprinting.
They don't just come on for one play, then sit down for 20 minutes drinking Gatorade. If anything is a joke sport, it's american 'football' mate!
Who cares...those Kenyan marathon runners are more hardcore than that. They should just take a ball out with them while they run a marathon and they'll be real cool.

>i can watch basketball on tv thats it,i cant watch football way to many commercials.
284 million people watched the final
5.9 billion total viewers for the whole tournament
A quick update of our chart to add this years record setting viewership of 97.448 million. 2006-2008 are Live+SD viewing, all other years are Live viewing.
yea...guess wat sport is which
Soccer is a WORLDWIDE craze, so you can't compare viewers of the 2 sports. Thats like comparing a televised high school basketball game on a local tv channel to a nationally televised NBA game. Hmmm...wonder whos gonna get the higher rating.

>nascar is even cool if your there because all you do is get trashed, but on a tv ill pass.
x2, but the sad part is, that i'd need to be trashed to watch it on tv
Luckily for me watching TV is something i dont often do
I say we should combine the 2 "footballs". It'd be like hockey but with no ice

That's a game i could get into

I prefer watching golf and tennis over soccer. soccer players are the biggest whiners and prima donnas ever. Ronaldo? Give me a break, puts on 20 lbs of gel in his hair before every game...probably to impress those cross dressing prostitutes...

Football is a REAL sport that incorporates strength, speed, agility and BRAINS. Have you even seen an NFL playbook? The amount of prepwork involved to be an NFL coach? 80% of the coaches dont even go home during the season. They stay in the stadium and lock themselves overnight for weeks at a time. Studyin tape.
