Any soccer fans here?

[Rimbaud82]

It's the only ball sport I can really stand. Still only really watch during the world cup though

You 'can't stand' other ball sports but don't mind soccer? Why? Seems completely arbitrary and bizarre.

I like football, but it would be so much better if it weren't for the players and the fans.

Try cheering for the US team....they don't fake fouls or dive, and always play until the last whistle. They're not great and rarely win anything meaningful, but it builds character and the fans are the best to support them after so many failures. That's my favorite sports team.

Surprised to see a fellow traveler so closed-minded on the world's most popular sport. Check out the next US match, as they play hard and honest, not like the rest of the world. Always proud of them, for not playing like homo's...as you might say.

Man in every thread about the topic you're saying the same thing about how wonderful the US soccer team are, and how they play so much harder and fairer than every other country in the world. I'm sure they are great and all but I highly doubt it. e.g. ROI and NI national teams both played perfectly hard and honest, and most countries are the same tbh...

Deal with it, bro. Sorry we spanked your cheating country at some point....lol

Looks like the republic won 4-1 last time the two teams played.

You should win 6-0 each time they play, as your whole country revolves around that sport. I never said the US was a great team, so don't misquote me. But it's a team that can change the negative opinion of soccer that elitists like yourself perpetuate.

Ah Steve went and got himself a thesaurus to band out big words in an attempt to verbally bash a fellow posters differing opinion of the magnificence of the US "soccer" team. Ha ha, settle down Steve, have a snickers.

Well that sucks for you and the others if you're too dense to understand my point here.....I meant no harm in my response to pwent, as I like the guy, but for some reason you extraneous posters are all butthurt now....LMAO

That's some chip you've got on your shoulder there mate. Jesus christ, all I said was that the US national team doesn't play any harder or more honest than the rest of the world. Which is what you said. I'm sure they are a good team that plays hard, especially for how popular soccer in america. Explain how I am elitist?

And lol at my whole country revolving around soccer, that's just patently not true. Soccer is very popular, especially to play, but it's got plenty of competition from other sports. Plus it's divided and there's no all-island team, and both NI and ROI are pretty shit anyway lol.

Best sport ever

Oh I fully understand your idiotic point about how the Us is the only soccer country not to cheat, its comical and I truly thank you for the amusement.

Also about your generalization about the island of Ireland and our preference of sport while having absolutely no clue, brilliant.

Thanks Steve

Bullshit.......you are butthurt because I said the US team is he most honest one, and you took offense at that. I was trying to convert a soccer hater into a fan...and you jump in with your nonsense. Just let it go....

I do. In Europe soccer is the go-to game instead of American Football or baseball. I was the goalkeeper on the school team from day 1 to the very end - even after I switched schools. My first goalkeeper idol was Peruzzi, later Toldo, now Buffon. GOAT is still Yashin tho.

I still play from time to time when the weather is fine but I deflect low shots with legs instead of diving after them because of my bad back. I can play defense just as well due to my understanding of what assistance the goalkeeper needs.

Do you play full games, or just 5 a side? That's one good thing about soccer, it's very easy to set up a game compared to things like rugby which I prefer. I still enjoy playing a bit of 5 a side from time to time.
