Stopping the clock works in the NFL (and that's a real game), so I hate to debate that it "just couldn't possibly work in soccer".
Really? Then what the fuck is there a giant worldwide tournament going on for??!
Soccer Organization: Ah shit guys, the World Cup isn't going to a second round because we don't care about score.
Players: Fuck yeah! Scoring sucks!
I think realistically the main reason Soccer/Football is so popular around the world is because it's so fucking cheap to play and doesn't cause an unreasonable amount of injuries. All you need is a ball, and four markers to play.
You can find that shit anywhere. With any other sport you need some kind of equipment or special surface. You can play soccer fucking anywhere and you don't even need shoes.

They do hand out yellow cards when it's faking. You have to understand that there is one ref on the field and 2 sideline refs, constantly running back and forth on a HUGE pitch, trying to watch for any foul-play. It's not as easy as you'd think, in fact to qualify to be a world cup ref, they had to pass an EXTENSIVE bootcamp, including wearing heart monitors and being able to run the length of the field up to 5 times without stopping, and if their heart rate spikes they're considered at risk of a heart attack during the game (90 minutes) so they're disqualified. Name me one other sport that has refs as hardcore as that. So yes, players do fake injuries because they CAN. It's part of the game, it always has been even when I was on a U-8 team. It's a game of skill, finesse, fitness and last but not least deception.
They don't stop the clock because if the team whose player is injured has the ball, it would interfere with their potential goal. Only until the play dies down do they check on the injured player. And then (since you CLEARLY watched the ENTIRE game), you would notice that the ref adds extra minutes to the end of the game to make up for ANY FOUL TIME.
Correct, it is never going to be perfect. But it's a rule, it's part of the game and it's been around forever... why change it? And you are correct also, that soccer is the ONLY sport that hasn't been changed by stupid fucking reviewed plays and 10 refs arguing over what happened, constant whistle blows, stopped clocks and boring intermissions. The only sport in comparison would be hockey... Why you don't have a problem with hockey? Icing is a pretty stupid rule in my opinion... offsides actually makes sense to me. Baseball I thought was going to stick with that mantra but it looks like in the near future they're going to allow reviews as well (only causing the game to go EVEN SLOWER.. and baseball imho is THE MOST BORING SPORT ON EARTH).
Na, I think China actually paid for it. I know for a fact a Chinese marketing firm hired Chinese citizens to pose as North Korean fans in the seats. Still not sure why though, did they do it as an act of kindness to make the NK's feel better like they had some support in the stands or was it some weird political move?
um lol... north Koreans arent allowed to leave the country that freely. thus they hired chinese actors to simulate support for their team because having a dominant fanbase at the games is very powerful
people here watch golf because they think they can play golf. but it's not a sport if you can play two games in one day while being drunk and obese. Yes baseball that means you, too.
it's true that this country wants scoring and lots of it. same reason hockey won't ever catch on here. the rest of the world simply appreciates the level of skill on the defensive side to earn a draw. no idea why we don't love it as much as the rest of the world but i'm sure someone studied this and has a decent objective reason.

Noone really gives a shit about soccer in Australia and New Zealand either.
In Australia top 5 watched sports are Rugby League, Rugby Union, Aussie Rules Football, Cricket and Tennis. Only then soccer and basketball.
In NZ its the same, except they are big on netball and don't really have Aussie Rules.
NZ Maoris I was talking to at the pub the other night were embarrassed that they were watching soccer, but still wanted to support their country. All their mates thought they were gay for watching it.
Saying soccer is for faggots/gay is plain retarded.. I mean it might make sense in the USA where there is comparitively low support for it but in pretty much everyone other country in the world being a football fan is a pretty manly thing. Getting pissed up, rowdy and fighting is a pretty common theme of football fans around the world.
People don't get angry because you hate soccer, they get angry at you for being a verbal douchebag about it.. I mean first of all, it's an irrational hatred. You hate a sport? I mean wtf lol.. Makes no sense. Second of all, you spend hours of your time on internet forums bitching and whining about why you hate it, for what? Why do you do this? You've even dedicated your signature to the hatred of soccer.
Ppl get angry at you because your obv a retard if you do these things.
It's definitely a big part of the reason why soccer is the biggest sport on the planet, but I don't really peoples point when they say this..
Not sure if serious but if serious I can see exactly why you love the NFL and hate soccer..
