| http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31751_162-20007331-10391697.html I thought it was a funny read and very one sided lol Check out this little quote: - Quote :
- For too long, English soccer was all about hoofing the ball high and the man higher. But when teams of greater guile and technical skill came along, England was baffled. Too many of the players had neither the technique, nor the brains.
The remedy, at the league level, was to bring in foreign players who actually knew how to trap the ball and dribble with it. Jay won't be impressed |

| Just wanted to add (and I wish I could tell this to the article writer :p) when we won it in 1966 (yes it was a long time ago) was that before or after the magical and skillful foreign players came to play in our leagues? oh yeah..was before |

| Joe, that's hilarious! I can't stop laughing. It's funny how us Americans seem to think we should dominate every sport. When the truth is, we are SOOO far behind the world in this sport it's laughable. You're right... Jay isn't going to like this one bit! |

| I will play in my garden.... when I get home from work!
The only reason why soccer is so popular all over the world is because you don't have to spend money on equipment and supplies, and it doesn't take any real skill to play. If you know how to walk/run and have enough coordination to move your foot so it can make contact with a big round ball, you can play.
All you need to play it is 2 legs, a round object (any kind of ball, round fruit, severed head), and something to use as a goal (trees, trash cans, traffic cones, box drawn on the wall). |

That has to be the most RIDICULOUS statement i have ever heard! Of course anyone can play football but the skill difference betwwen a kick about in the park with your mates and the worlds best players competing in the greatest tournament on earth is immense! Give me the Football over Rugby for Gays sorry i mean American Football and Rounders or is it Baseball (Who cares the one where you hit a ball with a stick and run round a circle lol) any day of the week |

| I got to watch a lot of football/soccer on TV during my honeymoon in St. Lucia... thats all they had on TV (that and cricket).
I almost fell asleep while running on the tredmill training for the marathon watching that nonsense!!! I would expect superior athletes with skill to give me a little more action than 1-0. It seemed 75% of the time the ball never left mid field!!!! |

lol, Well FIFA could always split the game into 4 quarters and have pop stars playing at half time. I'm sure you wouldn't have got board then |

| Not a fan of figure skating!!!
But even that takes more skill and athleticism than soccer.
Again... this is all coming from a Western bias.
Here... the only people who play soccer as those who can't play and get cut from all the other sports/clubs they tried out for.... for example: baseball, bowling, chess team, lawn darts, curling, baskeball, table tennis, swimming, tic-tac-toe, the list is endless!!! |
