+246 An average soccer player travels 17 miles during one match. Not a sport for pussies anymore, amirite?

they still cry and roll on the ground every 5 min

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah they do, because it's part of the strategy of the game. I know that's a stupid strategy, but you have to admit that soccer players are freaking amazing athletes.

All of you are exaggerating, it happens about 3 times a game.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yeah I don't know what soccer you guys watch. But clearly it's Mexican.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's still a massive exaggeration. It happens maybe once every other game tops.

anymore?

thats why you play goalie

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They would have to be going roughly 17 mph constantly considering they stood around and held position and rolled around for a cumulative 30 minutes in the game. OP=lies

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yeah this post is bs. they run 6-7 miles in a game. which is still a lot, but not a frggin marathon.

And this is why you don't post on American websites about football, because they have no idea what they're talking about, they bash the sport and all they know about it is the 1 player in every 10 matches who exagerates one foul. Fucking Americunts.

I'm thinking you are a troll, based on your apparently low intellect and your inferior grammar skills, not to mention the poor word choice. P.S. I don't even know if you'll be able to read this because of the large words involved.

what do words have to do with being a troll, what if a troll used intelligent words to troll you, hes still a troll dumbfuck also, i see nothing wrong with my grammar, and the only reason you make fun of it is because you use the spellcheck, so fuck you and soccer LONG LIVE GRIDIRON

Damn Americunts. So fucking stupid. And don't tell me to leave. This is the internet, not the United States. Every country in the world has access to the internet, not only the U.S. Also, good work, you just let us all know how dumb Americans really are.

I'm not American, and I played soccer for 9 years, and I completely agree that it's a shitty sport. Even in rep and houseleague soccer at the age of 13, people were still taking obviously fake dives. Plus you have to be an amazing athlete to excel in any sport, hockey takes great balance, strength and endurance, (American) football takes those too. Those sports are harder than soccer, considering there's no contact in soccer, and a game can go 90 minutes with like 6 shots on net.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

How does how many shots there are have anything to do with how hard it is? Soccer obviously takes a ton of skill in order to develop the coordination in your feet to be more coordinated than tour hands. And all the sports require different strengths. Like a football player would never be able to make it thru a full soccer game cuz they train to compete in short, powerful bursts while soccer requires more endurance...btw of course the American thinks it's a shorty sport cuz it's the only one where you can't use your hands

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It doesn't take that much talent, my sister is 7 and can play. It's only the worlds most popular sport cause it's the cheapest, you don't even need a ball to play, just anything round. And football players would do better in soccer than soccer players would in football.

can she play well? anyone can "play" but not be really good at soccer...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, I probably should of mentioned that, but yeah shes pretty good, as with most of the kids on her team, like they can kick pretty far and run with the ball, and not fall around looking like retards

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yea there's a difference because anyone can play a sport but the whole point is that you have to be good at it...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

See you can tell she's not very good/yoU don't know wht you're talking about cuz all you said is "she cam kick far and run with the ball" there's a lot mire to soccer than just that

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I know, but its still a shit sport, there's no getting around that.

It's better than watching a bunch of fat guys tackle eacother while the skinny guys run thru them or a bunch of fairies spinning around the ice or baseball. That's just so boring

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Baseball and figure skating are boring yeah, but soccer isn't much better. It can't be fun to watch if it's not eventful, if they're just passing it around the whole time, which is like every game, it's barely a step above nascar

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well people (in the us) that play a lot and understand it very well don't find its boring and people all over the world enjoy watching it because it's their culture. Most of the people that think it's boring are Americans who just think it's just kicking a ball around which is why they lose interest. It all looks the same to them

by Anonymous 13 years ago

fake dives are a strategy to win and soccer is a no contact sport? what kind of soccer have you been playing?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm talking about competitively, in football you can just take some fat dude and mold him into a linesmen by teaching him the plays and giving him some training, for soccer you can't just take some random person and mold them into a superstar because first they would have to gain endurance and then learn how to use their feet
