neel 257 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 la liga is NOT boring. serie A becomes boring lately but until 2006 it was a fantastic league. German league is full of talent and youth. in last season benfica's matches were treat to watch. Don't watch eredivisie any more but during 90s it was one of the best league in the world. It is stupid thing to say that overall football is boring. This is the game that the whole world is crazy about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is stupid thing to say that overall football is boring. This is the game that the whole world is crazy about.It is boring, simple as that.Just need to look at the American Soccer Channel, and the league they most show, it's EPL.They might cover some Serie A, and la liga, but EPL is the most popular, cause it's the most fun to watch.After that, other countries, it's not that fun like the EPL.And the whole world???China and India marks as probably a big chunk of that whole world, and i don't think Soccer is that crazy over there....

neel 257 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just because US channels do not broadcast other leagues that does not mean other leagues are boring. Yes EPL is most popular but La liga is popular too. And by the I had FSC and FSC + with ESPN 3 and Gol TV . I did not have any trouble before to watch la liga. Even back in 2005-2006 I used to watch french league one. And soccer is very popular in few places that I have visited. I went to rose bowl pasadena and maryland (M&T) the crowd was fantastic.

In my state and few others southern states are fanatic about football. Yes Cricket is most popular sports but football is getting popular there.

Yes Cricket is most popular sports but football is getting popular there.Because you just said it, "the most popular sport is Cricket"So if that's the most popular it does not shows they are crazy about it. It's like saying Soccer is getting popular in the US as well, but the most popular sport is this and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neel 257 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am not denying the fact that majority of the Americans consider soccer as boring. I am just arguing with you because you said they are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just arguing with you because you said they are right.And i just gave you a lot of examples.Here is another one. NBA is popular here, but will you see Americans watching basketball from another country?Like european basketball?NO, cause it's boring!!!Same as soccer, the majority of places is boring. EPL is like the NBA. And because of the EPL, soccer is picking up a lot here.Now if the MLS was like the EPL, then we will have more higher ratings.

And i can't watch that. I usually fall asleep.That's me who watches this sport a lot, imagine some regular American Joe?EPL, CL, and South American Qualifier is what attracts me a lot.

It might be more expensive to assemble and play football then Soccer. Like golf and Tennis. Cost too much to do that sports.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost too much to do that sports....Cost is an issue but I've seen that the only people who call soccer boring are the Americans. Been living here for a decade now and I'm told it's boring to see players running after a ball for 90 mins and ending up scoring only one goal and sometimes no goals. I don't think any other country calls soccer boring. On the contrary they would call American football boring cus there is no flow to the game and has stoppages every few seconds.

eldo 868 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah for you is not, but for Americans it is.Get my drift?I do. In NBA they play with faster tempo. than in Europe, but it can be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NBA they play with faster tempo. than in Europe, but it can be interesting.And what I am saying is that NBA is like the EPL of Soccer! So we don't have that in America as far as Soccer goes, we have crappy MLS that is like the euro league of basketball.I am sure that if MLS was as good as the EPL, not many Americans would call soccer boring.
