The Great Soccer Debate

Featured Replies

I think soccer games can end in ties. Not a tie because of the weather or some type of horrible event, just a tie because there is no time left(and typically it's because neither team could manage to score in the 36 hours the games seem to last). No winner...no loser...thats not right.

Soccer games do end in ties, unless its an elimination game. This is one thing Im glad the NHL got rid of. You play 5 minutes overtime, and then go to a shootout. All in all it adds maybe 20 minutes to the game (Because they clean the middle of the ice for the shootout). I don't think it'd kill these "stellar" athletes to do a 3 round shootout to determine a winner.

Actually soccer is one of the hardest sports to be very good at.
Soccer is organized kickball. :p

Yeah because once again there is no skill or footwork or technique or strategy or anything like that involved someone just rolls the ball at you and you kick it and hope to God that you score a goal.

Now you're gettin' it! :D

I and I'm sure the 4 other soccer fans on this website would pay money to see you people try to play even in a high school freshman game.

Oh, I don't think you'd want to see me play soccer. :walk:

Then why do you and everyone else claim that it's "so easy" and all that other stuff?

Oh, I didn't say it was hard. Just that you wouldn't want to see me playing. Although, I could get a couple good "facial ricochet" goals in there. :banana:

Off your face or someone else's? :D

I'd love to see you skate, control a puck, and score.

Guarantee you that I could. Not being cocky or arrogant but just saying that I could because I used to go ice skating all the time and play street hockey ALL the time almost everyday.

Mine! That's the most likely scenario.

HAHA I've had a few of those in my day. Took a shot on goal to the face sophomore year from the starting varsity forward and got a concussion, had to go to the hospital and wasn't allowed to practice for 3 days straight.

I'll assume your use of quotations around the word stellar is implying that they aren't, in fact, stellar, which is obviously ludicrous. If the arguments you have presented on this topic are the best arguments against soccer you can provide, then I have to admit I have never seen someone argue against something while simultaneously making the opposing point seem irreducibly true.
