And then we'd end up with the long awaited sequel:
Shaq-Fu Soccer! maybe they could tie it into a film, a la Shaolin Soccer :D

Seriously though, I do enjoy watching soccer -but I only really follow it when its World Cup. That's when it gets interesting. the only sport I follow week after week is college football. The rest I watch around tourney time.

Soccer is ok to watch on weekends, when there is nothing else on tv...

that doesn`t mean I dont enjoy watching it the rest of the week, but here most soccer is played on the weekend :smirk:

Soccer rocks when the European and World chamionships are held.

But that's mainly because there's lots of beer, nationalism and machoism involved :)

On the other hand, the occasional club soccer is not my thing, watching 90 minutes of that is just a plain waste of time if you ask me.

Everyone here in japan loves soccer. Jleague and the world cup are really huge. I've tried again and again to like it, but I just don't like soccer. For me, it just takes way to long for a goal to be scored.

I'm a complete hypocrite though, cause I love american foot ball and baseball.

edit- i forgot im from Seattle, USA

yeah really. if Americans bothered to be serious about soccer at all, it would just be another sport for us to dominate....we have to leave some droppings for the rest of the third world out there.

I LOVE soccer. since I was a kid I have been playing. My dad said that if the boy can walk, he can play soccer LOL...

I wish I was still playing for a team, but I have no time now with school and work. I still play some with friends on the weekend.

Oh yeah, and I like to watch it if there is a good match up on TV :mr_t:

I'll admit that futball makes for some great SportsCenter highlights, but I simply cannot sit and watch a game, the pacing is too slow for my taste. I'd rather watch rugby; now that's a sport I could get into. FoxSports airs like two games every year. :mad_2:

Futbol is great. its only really surpassed as a sport by one thing:
HOCKEY!
Ice Hockey > Soccer > all other sports (except motorsports, that a whole nother category)

i've always been into bmx only and sure as hell don't wanna become a fat, beer drinking, stinkin' bastard, who's itching his balls, while sitting in front of a tv, wearing a dirty tank top, ugly shorts & white socks and screaming 'es gibt nur ein Rudi Völler ... ein Rudi Vöööölller .... es gibt nur ein Rudi Vöööööölller ...'.

pfft ...

Forget post war Germany, I thought your whole country's ethos was formed from 'Rudi Voller's and Toni Polster's mullets?

Well, I know that this thread isn't aimed to me, since I brazilian, but I don't like soccer.

But it's fun to see my country at the World Cup, anyways! :D
