I'll admit I used to never like soccer/football that much. Thought it was boring and whatnot. That was until I started watching games every week , for the past six months and understand it.
Really great sport to watch. Being drunk helps though. Like with everything else.
you'll need to be drunk to enjoy a bunch of passing around for 90 minute to yield a 0-0 tie.
Come back to us when canada has a sport that has a worldwide appeal like football. For such a "boring" game it has no competition whatsoever when it comes to how many people are playing it globally.

I am obsessed with football. Espnsoccernet is my homepage. When I was younger (early teens) I played on a few traveling teams and was just absolutely dirty; my entire team was. I moved and switched schools and stopped playing; all of my friends went on to play in high school and were ranked 2nd in the US I think? something absurd like that...atleast top 20. Ironically the school I moved to beat them 2-1 and knocked them out of their ranking; it was hilarious. Anyways, coming to school alot of the friends I made played in high school and were on some incredible HS teams. My one friend from Belchertown (Mass) would play all the portuguese players right off the boat from Ludlow and beat them - his high school had a soccer dynasty. I play on a casual intramural team and my friends just run tricks on people, its awesome.
My teams: Arsenal (cant believe they fucking lost this week!!!!), and Fiorentina
Newcastle put a sound ass whooping on Reading last week. Arsenal is pretty good, but they've been playing like shit. That 4-2 loss to Liverpool hit em hard. One of the best games I watched was my favorite team, Chelsea, versus Arsenal. Me and my roomate went ape shit when they beat Arsenal 2-1 a few weeks back. Drogba is the shit. So is Joe Cole.
Man U and Arsenal this Sunday should be sweet. Don't anybody say anything about it because I'm watching it on Tuesday!
worldwide appeal because it's what everyone there is told and raised to like
same reason why canadians seem to like hockey the best
soccer is cheap...so they all play it...plus all you need is one ball to play it..imagine trying to plau hockey or baseball with one item...a ball.
As usual theres more holes in your argument than a fishing net. You're essentially saying national games are pushed on people when theyre younger (hockey for canadians and football for brits being the examples). Then if thats the case why is football the #1 globally played game by far? Football is not the national game of every country in the world or even close to it..yet its by far the most played?
And who the fuck cares if all you ned to play "soccer" is a ball? That makes it far more accessable and have more of an appeal. Not every parent can go and buy all the hockey gear just because their child develops a passing interest in something that he may not bother with 6 months down the line.
You just have to go to a celtic or liverpool game to hear the crowd burst into "you'll never walk alone" and you'll know it something that no other sport can give.
