Bullshit, they call it soccer also in the UK. We don't play the sport because it makes even baseball look boring, and at least baseball has stats, odds, building of tension and bench clearing brawls.

Soccer should only be played by the poor, and often shoeless


No I am English and its football not soccer. Let me weigh into this as I like American sports like NFL and I watch football (soccer) too, football can be very boring I agree, 1-0, or 0-0, a waste of 90mins to me. I love NFL but at times its frustrating how stop start it all is so all sports have their flaws, no need hating on each others.
