The one in the top picture is hilarious. He actually caught air when he dived. His mom and dad must be so proud.
100% I stop drinking beer and soccer is now boring. Only little watching Real Madrid because last 10 years big fun Luka Modric but he is old now and soon will retire so now boxing and MMA I love training and watchI respect the skills to play soccer but as far as competition entertainment it’s beyond boring to me... goes in the same category as baseball , hockey.
Fun to play, horrible to watch.
I actually used to watch soccer, baseball , golf to help me fall asleep..
You actually have it backwards and I like pretty much all sports.
I get it, if your ADD obsessed as I thnk most N.Americans are you will struggle with soccer as it does not have a lot of meaningless scoring. I love the NBA but lets be real and admit all but the last 20 mintues of the game, in most games does not matter or mean a single thing. There is only 20 minutes at the end that has any meaning. But boy, you get a lot of meaningless scorring for those that need flashy lights and stuff to keep their attention.
A soccer match can easily end 1 nill, so, if your into it every single drive has meaning and that 'don't blink' factor like you are waiting for the KO shot.
But if you need the flashy lights and noise maker over meaningless scoring, I get it.
I never expected that this thread would become a dick measuring contest.lol
I grew up playing hockey in Canada, eventually at high level in my teens in the late 90's and i haven't seen a game for years. I cant stand hockey anymore and love soccer (football).
I find American Football boring as fuck, way too many breaks. I know there are amazing athletes who play but the machismo associated with it doesn't impress me.
I prefer combat sports and the real football. Thanks
What's funny is that some American football fans claim how "manly" A.football is without realizing that at the end of the day is grown men trying to get a ball to the end of the field.
Btw, I enjoy bits of A.football here and there. It's just the pro machismo of some of its fans that's annoying.
...then you got real fat and spent the rest of your life neckbearding on Sherdog. You should have kept the soccer practice up, son. Bitches like powerful calves on a man.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAfootball is tougher and takes more guts than MMA.

Football can be dangerous too.
It's your lack of knowledge of the game that's causing you to make wildly inaccurate assumptions, I think.
Every rep on the line is a max effort 1 rep max, full body explosive wrestle with another monster for an average of 9 seconds. Then with less than 30 seconds to recover you don't again, and again, and again, with jogging during your 'rest'. All this while being way over 100 kilos.
It is a whole field of battles, that's part of what's so compelling, there is so much to watch. It is absolutely you vs a monster looking to pound your head into the dirt.
Their weird veneration is because they understand what the football players go through. Not all football players, there are positions that require much less toughness.
With regards to soccer, it is very very easy to think of as played by pussies. They cry regularly and the beautiful part of the game is hard to appreciate.
A 9 second wrestle isn't anything special. You idolize these guys because you are told to idolize them by your media, simple as that. The facts are the facts: a 3 hour game has 11 minutes of playing time divided between 2 lineups. Meanwhile, you sit like zombies through 100 goddamn commercials, drinking soda and eating chips. It's pathetic, man.
