[QUOTE="gameeer1"][QUOTE="cyberdarkkid"]Yea football (soccer) is about the only sport that has a world tournament, the FIFA World Cup which brings together about every nation in the world take for instance:

USA vs. Barbados

I had no idea that such a country existed until I saw this game.bluezy

There's a world basketball championships and world championships of hockey as well...>.>

But it doesn't bring the world together like the World Cup does.

that's what I meant, the FIFA World Cup has the most participant countries than any other sports world tournament.

[QUOTE="RiSkyBiZ-13"][QUOTE="mfrank0607"]

Just like the title says. Soccer is about as much of a sport as NASCAR or baseball

Judza

Did anyone else just stop reading this babble after this line? You know what? I don't like HALO, so it's not a video game. TC: just because you personally don't like something doesn't mean it's not a sport.

But I will agree if anyone says batman's not a superhero, he's just a hero =P

Yep.

Opinions stated as fact are painful. So I didn't read beyond that either.

Well, if you read the last sentence it would have told you that they are just my opinions and I wasn't passing them off as fact, so stop trying to be clever

Well we can tell that SOMEONE isn't an athlete, because you have to be in excellent shape to play soccer. If your saying soccer is like Nascar you deserve to be crucified becaues all they do in nascar is hold their right foot down and turn their hands left. In soccer they run, jump, kick, and pretty much do everything opposite of a Nascar driver.tenczas9

Haha, I'm not an athlete, I'm playing football in college, so good luck trying that angle

[QUOTE="mfrank0607"]I honestly just think its a game, I think its in the world of athletics but it has nowhere near the type of athletes smfrank0607

The padding is used so people don't die like they did in the early years of football, I've never seen a game that had stoppages every few seconds.

And I personally think countries can't afford to start new franchises, or when they do they get crushed because of lack of support, because apparently futbol fans can't like any other sports.

how is padding on your chest supposed to help you survive?

i see helmets as necessity, but not chestpads nd leg pads

Ok, in the old days of professional football, people would get basically chokeslammed by opposing players, this would cause severe injuries.

and leg pads have to be there due to the fact that franchises are trying their best to protect multi-million dollar investments

soccer players are paid much much much more than football players and probably have almost as good of a chance of injury as football players, but they only have shinguard

wow TC you gotta be the most ignorant person on these forums. to say soccer isn't a sport is ridiculous. it definitely takes a lot of skill and I guarantee if you stepped onto a soccer field and tried to defend someone like Ronaldinho, you would be very very embarrassed

While i don't have them on me, i believe that statistics show that more people tune in to watch World Cup matches than the Olympics. Plus, i would say that there is a common passion shared between soccer fans during World Cup time, instead of x number of sports played at the Olympics that maybe only certain countries excel at, providing a better atmosphere. Just my opinion, though.

According to National Geographic about 5x more people watch the World Cup than the Olympics.

The Olympics has Soccer in it anyway..

id like to see anyone of any other sport so anything even close to as impressive as that.

and you think football players are faster than soccer players? id bet you that the average soccer striker is faster than most people in the NFL.

No, it's just that the school is incredibly tough to get into, and I'm fortunate enough to get in, I'll PM you the name if you would like, I don't like sharing my personal info with the masses

Soccer is an amazing game of strategy and endurance. The person who started this thread has obviously never played it.
