Why do Americans think soccer is boring..

…when the average “football” game has about 15 minutes of actual play over three hours?

The players spend more time than that chest-bumping 😂

They're not wrong, The only problem with us is so is our Version of football. i have no idea why people enjoy watching Sports, I've got a million things to do I enjoy a lot more. in this country they'll be like come watch the super bowl and I'll just be like Nah I'd rather...play with my cat.

Anything. REally.

Honest answer : in US we are taught to play ball games w our hands not our feet .
@AthrillatheHunt So, it's handball. Not football.

@jackieash it should be . No idea where the name came from , and I KNOW it doesn’t make sense , but it just feels right , ya know ?

@jackieash handball 🤾 is already taken

Our best athletes never chose soccer . We like to watch our best athletes.

@AthrillatheHunt oh I know , I’ve watched it ( go Steelers) but you can’t call them athletes. Idk if they run a total of 20 min per player in the whole game . And you have players who spend their entire career without doing a pass

@Julien couldn’t disagree more but not feeling like getting into it . I’m not a football or baseball fan but I’m a Steelers and Mets fan by birth (no say in the matter )

@Julien I'd like to see you train with them then say that.
I think it's got something to do with the scoring rate. The end zone celebrations tend to eat up a fair bit of time too

Why do non Americans think it’s not?🤣😂🤣
They're probably the Piateks who bought Carlisle United a few years ago and still waiting to see any football being played.

Football is also boring.
Julien · 36-40, M
Because they don’t understand it
Also American football is far inferior to rugby ( just hate baiting 😂)
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Julien hate baiter !!! lol
Julien · 36-40, M
@AthrillatheHunt I’m so good at it , some people call me master baiter !

Wtf is 'soccer'?
@BlobbyMcBlobface Probably something to do with socks. If you have two drawers full of socks and your mate only has one drawer full, you're more socker than him. It became "soccer" when someone took aversion to the letter "k".

Football is all about commercial placement and homo-erotic posturing . . any onfield entertainment is an unfortunate distraction.

@AthrillatheHunt thats my point
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Julien that’s BC the best athletes from those countries ALL chose basketball (minus a few Serbian tennis guys haha). Imagine if USA best athletes all chose soccer ? The world is lucky they don’t
Julien · 36-40, M
@AthrillatheHunt first of all it’s not soccer ( it’s not football either it’s football association)
And where are the us best athletes them ? As I say you can’t really call football player athletes, most of them are obese . Baseball cant really call that a sport .
MLS have spend billions trying to invest in youngsters and maybe someday it will shows but it hasen’t yet
