There is a reason why soccer is not called ‘football’ in America…soccer sucks. American football is far better and far superior than the world’s so-called most popular sport, which for some reason is also called ‘football.’ If this is confusing don’t worry about, Americans already have it figured out. American sports fans decided to call this ridiculous sport ‘soccer’ a long time ago, and gave the term 'football' to a far better, more appealing sport.
I am not writing this to offend anyone, or to attract more readers. The objective fact is that soccer is boring and it simply makes no sense. The goal is bigger than a two-car garage, but yet nothing happens for 90 minutes! Guys are running (and walking) all over this massive field, yet nothing ever happens. Soccer is the most actionless sport ever, how many other sports actually allow a 0-0 tie?
Most Americans view soccer as just a big game of keep away. Why the rest of the world continues to watch this sport is beyond comprehension. I will always fail to understand what makes soccer so great and so fun to watch. Soccer fans shout at me ‘you just don’t understand.’ I agree.
Also, professional sports in America are paced well and have a nice flow with breaks in the action that allow the game to be analyzed by fans and broadcasters.
Soccer has none of this.
Die-hard soccer fans argue that soccer is the ‘world’s greatest game’ or that in every other country but America it is the most popular sport. Just because everyone else is doing something, don’t make it right. Heck, the Chinese are still using chop-sticks!
Other countries don’t have any other choice. Other than rugby and cricket, what else is there for professional sports outside the United States? Badminton? Handball? Curling? Camel Races?
America pretty much leads the world in entertainment and when America says something is boring then we are probably on to something. Baywatch reruns can be found in almost every household around the world. We know how to entertain and we know sports. That's why our sports entertain so many and soccer doesn't entertain anyone.
If you’re into soccer, kick yourself silly. Just don’t expect us to join you kicking and screaming with joy. Sorry soccer fans, your ‘football’ sucks.

- I don’t understand how a sport can have an ‘offsides’ penalty when that is the only way a teams can have an offensive advantage.
- I don’t understand why professional athletes can’t put a round ball in a goal the size of Rhode Island.
- I don’t understand how anyone can get excited about one goal being scored during 86 minutes of play.
I don’t understand why soccer players are so fragile. One minute they are being hauled off on a stretcher and ten minutes later the same guy is scoring a break-away goal! - I don’t understand how 100,000 fans can start a fire and riot after a 1-0 contest. Maybe they looked elsewhere to cure their boredom.
- I don’t understand why David Beckham has to look like a girl.
- I don’t understand how European soccer fans in the year 2008 can yell racial slurs to black athletes. It is also horrible to see FIFA not do a damn thing about it.
