Why do I think soccer is the most pussy sport in the world?

huge reason why i don't like soccer.  i could never, ever bring myself to do that.  just couldn't do it.  even if i was hurt.  and it's not because i'm trying to look/act tough, it's because i don't want my teammates to think i'm being a pussy and lose respect for me.

...no thanks.  i don't care if it's taught or "part of the game".  it's garbage, and not what athletic competition should be about.  you can't convince me otherwise.

yo lloyd, as people have said, at any level that anyone here would play at, this is not part of the game. period. your teammates would make fun of you and call you a big fat pussy if you did this in high school or high level club teams

for sure. during play i never once dove and when i was taken out, i wouldn't lay on the ground acting in intense pain. i'd get up and start playing again if there was no pain because if you try and force calls and it costs you a goal, then you just look like a fucking idiot. those people who dive have stopped playing the game and are now trying to play the refs. it sucks and ruins the game.

ur completely right team usa plays hard and fair they do dot try to draw free kicks and shit like the other teams but i mean it happens...this is another problem with soccer not having instant replay...luckily they have rules against diving/flopping but many like these get overlooked

no.  used to, not for a while.

and to EC: i was not clear enough...i respect the athletic aspect of soccer.  i'd never be so ignorant as to say it didn't require hard work and immense skill.

that being said, i don't support that part of the game, and when it's such an integral part of the largest display of that particular sport in the entire world; the beautiful game; the most popular sporting event in the world, the one that only comes around every four years,...etc...i just don't stand for it.  it should piss those high school/college players off that that's how their sport is displayed at the highest level and exposure it can reach (for the moment, at least)

if you want to find out who the best actor is, take up improv or enroll in an acting class.  decide the sport, the ATHLETIC COMPETITION, like athletes.

Most of us feel exactly the same way. However, we're excitable and likely to defend soccer when people call it "the most pussy sport in the world," whilst having no real knowledge of the game outside of professional play at the biggest venue in the sport, where the players do absolutely anything they can to win. Unfortunately, they've taken to diving, which is disgraceful and blatantly unfair. So don't take it wrong when some of the people here seem to be justifying the act of diving, because i don't think anyone on NS actually approves of it.

I would never dive in a game, not only because i'm 6'2 and usually the biggest player on the field, but because it's the best way to convince your team mates that you're a big douche.  In the five years i've been on my high school team, I've only seen one kid dive, and he was asked to not try out again because he was a know-it-all tool who ripped on everyone on our team directly to the coaches.

But i'm rambling here..

i know, calling the play dead at the spot would suck. but there is a way to integrate review in a beneficial way, although i am not intelligent enough to formulate such rules into the very detail.

this is my opinion. like it or not, but dont say i should stop talking. last time i checked i lived in a free country (although its communist by YOUR standards).

soccer is not a pussy sport. its the fucks who dive and give it a bad names who are the pussies. hate to make a generalisation, but it is mostly south americans. and italians and greeks. and yes, it ruins the sport. which severely fucks me off, because soccer is such a beautiful sport

soccer players are the most fit people in any sport other than track. a player runs about 12 miles each game for 90 min straight. no timeouts just running. you people have to understand that its not too much of a pussy sport. there is a ton of physical contact too. people just fall at the right time so that they can get an advantage. its smart

pretty on. i never dived without a contact. but if there is a contact, and you cant get to the ball, or you would be in a worse position if you tried to "fight through", its pretty legit to "dive".

thats what most people dont get. of course, holding your head when someone hits in the chest is weak, but what can he do? kaka clearly raises his elbow and thats just not sportsmanlike. the only way kaka will receive a punishment is when the CIV-player falls down. end of question pretty much. i dont say that the whole rolling around is cool, but kaka did something wrong, not the other guy.

most fit? try water polo, xc skiing, iron man, marathon runners, tour de france riders... the list goes on. hell not taking anything away from soccer players but to say the most fit... pretty subjective and kind of stupid when you look at other sports that are out there.

A professional midfielder for Manchester United runs on average 6 miles a game. Over the course of a 90 minute game, that's a 15 minute mile. In other words, they're walking.

Don't you have to be fit for your sport? I guess its your definition of fit.

You might be able to run a marathon in record time, but you would get destroyed in a 100 meter, or playing defensive line.

For this reason saying your sport has the fittest athletes is pretty stupid, kind of like grasping at straws to vindicate a sport that has few redeeming qualities.

(reply more for the other kid not you, dont freak out.)

Soccer will never be popular in the US, here is why.

1) No commercial time. No one will put it on their network.
2) Flopping.

man i fucking love how they do that. but i mean, its not impossible for them to do that here. as far as i know the reason they can do that is just because some company like adidas pays a shit ton to have a logo up the whole time rather than having ads? maybe im wrong

Hey dummy, reviews would happen when the play is over. Who said the play has to be stopped immediately for a review? Just like in hockey, you don't stop everyone mid play simply for a review, you would wait until a stoppage. Just because you think it's the worst idea doesn't mean it's actually bad.

NOBODY IS FUCKING CALLING SOCCER PLAYERS PUSSIES FOR HOW MUCH RUNNING THEY DO. EVERY FUCKING PERSON KNOWS THEY RUN THEIR ASS OFF EVERY GAME. EVERYONE IS CALLING THE SPORT PUSSY BECAUSE OF ALL THE STUPID FUCKING FLOPPING AND DIVING, GET IT? stupid fuck.

you ever watch a soccer game? see how many free kicks are set up and passed off? see how many out of bounds balls are quickly set up and thrown in? it keeps the game MOVING. an official review should only happen if it was a play that affected a goal or if a player was seriously hurt and has to be stretched off. other than that official review would be useless and hardly used because those events are not common. a child earlier was talking about using them for diving which is a terrible use and would hurt soccer incredibly bad. now a good idea is goal line sensors, which i hope they put in.

haha no friggen way! When they come onto the field their hair is just like that. Almost every guy gels his hair. I've heard claims that they need to keep their hair out of their faces, but that's bs, most of them have very close-cropped cuts. I played football, baseball, and lacrosse for years with a fucking mop-top and never had a problem.

Using them on every play would be useless and destroy the flow of the game. I know about fast breaks from refereeing box lacrosse games for the last few years. If video review is put in then it should only be used on plays that affect a goal or result in a serious injury. I like to argue, but I completely agree with you here.

you are contradicting yourself. how can they use goal line sensors (at technique right now) without interrupting the "game flow"?

you suck.

are you fucking serious? really... are you that fucking dumb? how about this... find anyone who will agree with you on that statement, based on the fact that they have simple comprehension skills and know what soccer is, that is recognizable and i will promptly suck your dick.

I personally think that the only way a person can not be a pussy in this world is if they carry a hand gun or other firearm and proclaim it their god given right to do so.  Everyone else, a pussy.

The Colombian who scored an scored an own goal and was then subsequently shot outside a bar back in Colombia, pussy.  Didn't he learn anything from the World Cup host country at the time?  Don't want to get shot, carry a gun, duh!  Pussy.

ok, just to introduce you to the LATEST technology: mexican scientists (seems like a joke, but it isnt) are about to discover a ball with a chips and LEDs or so, and they will be activated in a certain fashion when the ball went over the line.

BUT, since you have never heard about that, you know that the current "ball-chip"-thingy is pretty much the same as review. some guy (maybe the 4th ref or whoever) would have to "read" the balls chip after the play. seems like an interruption there.

if that funky LED-ball is bombproof and ready to hit the shelves, yes, you are right, there will be a goal-line-sensor with immediate feedback, hence no stoppage of game flow. i actually agree with you, but at the current state (and the only system which could be installed right away) its not how you think.
