So you don't like other team sports as well?

Now lets think about dimenions in other sports. I haven't seen Djokovic doing more in Austrialian Open final than just deflecking tennis ball with tennis rocket for 5 hours. Lets take another Australian sport - rugby. Tackle -try, tackle - penalty, tackle - tackle. Now swimming - jump to the water and swim swim swim. Go out of the water and take a medal. 100m sprint - run for 100m, stop, take a medal. Long jump - jump as far as you can, take a medal. Weightlifting - lift up 240kg. Drop it after the signal.

I assume there is no sport good for you.

Once you truly understand what each sport is about you enjoy it.

I won't be a grammar nazi but strewth. No, not really an armchair sports fan but on the subject of Rugby ( thank god for Webb Ellis) more dimensions, for eg;
srums
lineouts
ruck and maul
body smashing tackles
hand passes
conversions
Whereas soccer...
kick
deflect off the head...

I could add..
flop on the ground feigning injury
handbag swinging
but they go without saying.

Just like rugby being "Run forwards, pass backwards, fondle opponent's bollocks off the ball".

Baseball is the only "serious" sport that professional players are able to be fat.

Two words: Roy Nelson.

ITT OP trolls as the stereotypical, pointlessly hyper-patriotic, arrogant, ignorant douchebag american that everyone hates

At least I hope he's trolling...

Playing soccer is one thing. Watching professional soccer is a whole nother joke.

 

[dreamache]

Rage, I'd like to know your opinion on tennis, I love that shit and would feel more validated if you approved.

 

[momchil9]

It's called football, not soccer.

I disagree. Here's proof:

True Athletes with god-given-talent.

 

[avatar33]

It's 2 different kind of sports requiring 2 different sets of skills and physical abilities. A soccer player has obviously more cardiovascular power than a baseball player. A baseball player has more muscular mass and strength. It's like debating who's more of an athlete between a 100m runner and 5,000m runner. You can't compare.

I personally like all professional sports because I admire the skills and physical abilities required to be a pro in each one of them.

 

[jasonpoxxon]

anyone with legs can play soccer. it takes god-given talent to succeed at baseball.

Lmao football is another level of talent. The whole world plays football, sorry soccer, and no one outside of the US and Japan cares about gay baseball.


Football is the world sport, and the most perfect one!

 

[jasonpoxxon]

The top footballers (soccer that is) are the top 000000000.1% in the world at their sport. Whilst baseball players are the top 0.1% or whatever as not even 1% of the amount of people that play football play baseball...

Soccer / football is the biggest sport world-wide
