I for one love soccer, its in my blood wether i liked it or not. My parents came to this country from portugal, and yea, its the only sport that matters to them. However, i love all sports (almost) it takes great physical ability to be good at a sport, and i respect anyone who becomes a professional. Alot of people want to call people who play a sport they dont like G@y, or call the sport a pU$$ie sport, however, most of those people havent played that sport. I played football, soccer, and boxed. Boxing is probably the most physically demanding (something about getting punched in the face :P). But soccers 2nd, the stamina you need to play soccer, is way beyond football, hockey and basketball require alot of stamina as well. However, in soccer, you get 3 subs, no line change, no changing players for alittle while because their in foul trouble... Its 3 subs, and thats it.
Soccer isnt big in this country, nor can it be, it has to much to compete with. You cant throw 300 comercials at it, therefor it doesnt get telivised. Also, somepeople dont want to learn something knew, they like the sports they watch now (which is absolutely fine) but, dont knock a sport and call it for Pu$$ies, if you havent played it (NOT TALKIN ABOUT SUNDAY PICK UP GAMES AT THE PARK LOL)
imo the game is difficult, and requires a great athlete to play it.
