eldo 868 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 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.Imo the difference between NBA and Euroleague isn't that big as EPL and MLS.Well football in US just doesn't have that tradition as it has in Europe.

Henrique 9,133 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah for you is not, but for Americans it is.Get my drift?justin, just see it. While all the world like football, you love "american football" and think "soccer" is boring.You also love baseball, barely known around the world, and Formula Indy and Nascar instead Formula 1 ( most popular race championship around the world ).It seems that you american are the "wrong" people, not the rest of the world."American football" is considered a sport, but its strange, people play it with an armor, and usually the players are as fat as elephants.

You can bang on about cricket and ignore the point, but whenever one of these lists are produced (regardless of the source) football is always number 1.America Lost.
