The motto here is keep it simple stupid.
I did think indoor soccer was borderline tolerable way back in the day, though. A lot more scoring.

He's had a fantastic career but soccer legs go early, and quickly. He's like Van Persie and Rooney (the soccer Rooney not me) in the latter stages of their careers. Giroud can extend his career by accepting a lesser role coming off the bench. He can still give you 15-30 good minutes but no way he can go 90 and be effective anymore.

There are better ways to waste an afternoon, chum.

Look mate, its a free country. You can watch curling if it excites you. I dont care. But, if we are going to have multiple soccer threads per week you better get ready for some abuse. 98pct of the people on here wouldn't watch a soccer game if you paid them. They find the game to be even more boring and tedious than golf or even baseball. That's saying something!
Yes. I am 46 and have played and watched soccer my entire life. I am well familiar with the abuse.
And yes there are a few here who enjoy the game and would...imagine that....want to discuss it with like minded chaps on an Open forum.
What is odd to me, the sawker haters such as yourself, who feel compelled to chime in on a thread about the beautiful game whenever on the off chance it comes up. I don't like baseball. Stupidest most unathletic game in the world that has zero skill involved zero pace dumb unspoken rules played by fat dudes who pull a hammy walking their fat asses out of a dugout.have Stupid hair cuts and ugly pets. Probably worship Goats too! You know what I do what normal people do...they leave it alone. No biggie! Hey baseball! Next...
Sawker hater will always, they must voice their opinion. Seems odd to me.
Anywho. Soccer is a wonderful game played by high skilled and intelligent athletes. I like it. Connor. Frank. Curly. Rooney. If they or I want to have a chat about it you are welcome to just ignore it. It really will not impact your life one or another. Or with all due respect you can piss off. Either way. All good. Eagles suck.

I reached my limit of seeing you guys emote about a dumb game whose sole strategy is to dribble the ball up the sideline and then kick it in the middle and hope someone can head it or kick it in the general direction of the goal. Then all you lemmings get excited and say, "Ohhhhhhhhh! Awwwwwwww." We'll get them next time. Meanwhile, " Ole Ole Ole!"
Except for casually watching the World Cup, I didn’t follow European football or the Premier League until 3 years ago.
A close friend (who was a sports junkie — diehard NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA fan) had become a huge Liverpool fan. I had no clue. Told me he watches 3-4 games per week, and no longer watched anything else. I joined him one Saturday morning and was blown away by his knowledge as he explained the rules and tactics.
So, I decided to give it a try, and picked Chelsea, having hung out in that neighborhood during the winter/spring of 1988 as a law student. Rather quickly, I developed a new founded appreciation for the athleticism and professionalism of the players. The TV commentators are superb. Learned the tactics of the chess match on the pitch.
Started listening to my very first and only podcast. Watched the Amazon Prime show about Manchester City’s season in 2017, and Sunderland Til I Die on Netflix. The business side is fascinating.
Last year (April 2019), we flew over and watched a match live at the stadium. As thrilling as the first time walking into Notre Dame stadium as a kid.
Watching every match now, I have to stand in front of the TV, too captivating to sit on couch.
Truly addictive.
Flame away. To each his own.
But, nothing else in professional sports comes close.
You guys are pretty touchy. SRD seems ready to lash out.
Of course I would watch a soccer match rather than get a tooth drilled. Probably.
You talked nonsense. I gave it back. It's over, move on. Don't play the victim....lashing out pfft.
Just can't be friendly with some people!
Ole ole!
Soccer is akin to making love. Scoring too much is a sign of ejaculation anxiety.
Have fun cleaning your rifle collection.
1) visit the DMV
2) lock yourself in a closet
3) colonoscopy
4) get a tooth drilled
5) wait by the Amtrak station to see Obummer’s train go by
6) rotate your tires
7) put on a pussy hat and join your wife on the womyn’s March
9) watch Law and Order reruns
9) volunteer as a vote monitor in some other state
