We should all say thanks to England for creating this lovely game Americans call SOCCER :eyebrows:

"Soccer" the name was invented by English

Association football-----> Assoc-er-------> Soccer

As I said, people who just point America to Soccer, are just ignorant.

Take a look at the world, and see how many more countries call it like that!

I think untlil 1973 the governing body in US was known as US soccer and football association or something like that

[Guest justin_3d]

Wrong, as they still called it Soccer.

Because it is boring!!!

Not sure if you watch MLS? It's boring as hell, and i fall asleep a lot. Same as the Mexican league, boring as hell!

The only league i find interesting is the EPL. And if you see a lot of Americans, that is the league they follow. A little are following the Spaniard league, but that one is boring as well, except for the Real Madird vs Barcelona.

But overall, i think my American compatriots are right. Soccer overall is boring.

EPL is fun, and we love to watch it.

World Cup...not anymore. It use to be fun, and now it sucks.

I think for me the EPL and the CL are the best competition in the world, as far as this sports are worth watching.

Oh and can't forget the South America qualifier. OMG that is some awesome competition. The amount of insane games you watch there, is amazing.

The South American World Cup Qualifier is much more fun and active to watch then the actual World Cup itself.

I could care less about the World Cup now these days. The last great World Cup i saw was 98. After that, every world cup, it gets worse and worse.

So for me, CL, EPL, and South America World Cup Qualifier are the best to watch.
