Because it's not a sport you can buy titles spamming money, see PSG

>be burger who likes soccer
wew lad, if we wanted to know that we'd read in

>listen to sports radio at work

There is your mistake.

Except for The Ticket in Dallas (which is basically Sup Forums sports radio), all of sports radio is extremely pleb tier.

this

>soccer
its called "football".

Radio personalities think it's funny and American to be ignorant about soccer which pisses me off and I'm not even a soccerfag

WFAN in nyc only talks about fucking boreball
98.7 ESPN has some bro tier banter and its funny sometimes but 5 minute-long commercial breaks every 20 mins are fucking killing me

help

>thinking something is utter shit = being afraid of

Do you also think that homophobes are actually scared of fags?

Where do you live that you have such shitty sports radio?

This, but both sides of the spectrum are annoying as fuck

>DUDE, seriously? You don't like soccer? Heh, guess you're just not as worldly and cultured as me
>DUDE soccer's for fags!! lmao I don't even know where these countries are, look at how American I am!! XD

>DUDE soccer's for fags!!

But that's correct.

>0-0ball
Ftfy

because you people are insecure beta cuckbois

They're pretty nice about it where I live. Most don't watch, but they won't give anyone shit about it.

This

>tfw no one to talk football with
>tfw everyone thinks I'm talking about the NFL

I just want someone to watch association football with, but there's no one :/

NYC area see

because it's a sport for fags and americans are extremely insecure about their sexuality

Because you don't get to participate in the major tournaments such as the europa league and championship league.

The only sport you can buy titles in here is baseball and even that doesn't work. (See Dodgers, current yankees, cubes)

In a sense. They are afraid of homosexuals becoming the majority or influencing their kid. I'm afraid that of i put my kid in soccer that he will play it for more than 3 seasons

how do we fix soccer?

Try being someone who actually enjoys some boreball here.

Go to theticket.com and stream it. Although you might have to wait a week or so for the funny to being, as all they are talking about now is the police shootings.

I just think soccer is a boring ass faggot game for people with low IQ, I'm not "afraid" of it.

>retroactive red cards for diving
>retroactive reminding of yellow cards given in mistake
>shots off the woodwork and out are corner kicks instead of goal kicks

Abolish it.

find local irish pub. theyre delusional as fuck about man united/liverpool but mostly fun to drink with

Because timezones I guess?

what is baseball then?

Boring ass game for people with high IQ.

>calling in to the radio about soccer
>caring that most people dont like soccer

I like divegrass but fuck that guy and fuck you.

I want to follow soccer more but apparently American sucks dick at it so its hard to get into because no team to root for. I just watch whatever big games Sup Forums spams on the front page here and there. Also any game to see Messi because everyone outside of the US can't shut up about him.

Why are burgers so burger?

>I follow a sport because all the cool kids on Sup Forums do

Epitome of a cuckold

Wait for the BPL season to start in mid-August
NBCSports does a great job of covering the season and they show every match live (some might only be online but still)
They also have the Men in Blazers podcasts which is funny and very indepth and American oriented

Other than that, listen to podcasts from the UK and read football articles from UK websites

Homophobes are scared that they are secretly gay, yeah.

>I want to follow soccer more but apparently American sucks dick at it

We're not bad desu, we usually do fairly well at the World Cup

I enjoy watching it tho. It's just I never really got into it like I did with baseball and football since I grew up on those since they're super mainstream here.

We aren't bad at it, we're just not elite at it.

The USA is the equivalent of Boise St. or Gonzaga...some overachieving mid-level team that does really well but probably won't win it all.

Well I honestly never watched baseball in a serious manner until like 4 years ago and it sucked me in instantly.

kids soccer games are pretty fucking horrible

Hurr State actually isn't a bad comparison. Too bad the US don't have their Oklahoma game, which is how Boise St got famous to begin with.

But PSG wins all national titles.

what, NFL, NBA and NHL literally have salary caps. Half the time a team wins a championship, especially in the NHL lately they have to blow up the team because they're now worth too much and over the limit

buying titles used to be a common thing in MLB, just see the yankees, but not at all anymore

meanwhile all the champions of european soccer are the richest teams just buying them, other than the occasional leicester meme

Insecure because they are SHIT.

yes we do.
youtube.co/watch?v=7ZHAa89uEYU
it's a perfect analogy, too, because the confed cup is like a BCS game that's not the championship.

Actually most of our sports are way more socialist than your soccer. We have a salary cap that limits the amount of money each team can spend on salaries and the draft ensures the shittiest teams gets a chance to pick the best player.

So we aren't "spamming money to win titles." That would be the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

not enough commercials

Doesn't seem like a sport I can eat to tbhfam.

whoops here's the right link

>champions of european soccer are the richest teams

Some of these teams are around for 100+ years. Their wealth is deserved. Having a sugar daddy from Oil Land is the exception, and works dubiously.

Are you advocating literal socialism? Free market is bad and you've got to put a ceiling preventing companies to get too rich?

I think it's a circle honestly. Americans are shit at soccer because they don't care about it, and they don't care about it because they're shit at it.

It is. You simply must avoid leaving the room too often since a game-changing event can happen anytime.

>Americans are shit at soccer because they don't care about it
Yes.

>and they don't care about it because they're shit at it
No. Wrong mentality. African countries, South American countries are almost all terrible, yet they care.

Americans don't care because they don't play seriously the game (in the street, etc).

that's why MLB is the best, can't buy championships even if you try
Also a longer history than any european soccer leagues

yea this, even tho i would say we are more average than shit. canada is shit.

your entire shitty sport is just one giant commercial

>F0-0TBALL
ftfy

The "socialist" model works well for us. The league ensures parity when it comes to winning and that way they can make more money. No American is going to care about a perennial loser team (Browns fans are the exception).

It's a different business model. In Yuro soccer, the clubs are just members of the Football Association that manages the league, while in NFL for example, the teams ARE the league. They are quite literally a cartel.

>African countries, South American countries are almost all terrible, yet they care.

We have a mentality that makes us care only about the winners. You might call us bandwagoners if you want to, but that's the way it is. We aren't like the English small town fans who devotedly watch their FC Shittybottoms play in the 4th league in a crumbling stadium.

Speak for yourself cunt

>University of Florida

Is this b8? See pic.

Although now that you mention it I'd make an exception for college teams because they are mostly watched by either students or people from their general area, that's probably the closest we can get to Yuropoor soccer fanbases. But the NFL or the NBA are a completely different thing.

>I'd make an exception for college teams because they are mostly watched by either students or people from their general area
That's why College Football is the GOAT American game which will always be better than NFL
>NBA
>Not shit


Also UF has been shit ever since

>not enough commercials
>billboards for jerseys
The Fly Emirates of Madrid is my favorite teams.

>Also UF has been shit ever since

UF still has a much higher chance of winning the natty than most Euro teams have of winning their highest league. I mean they played in the SECCG last year for fuck's sake, that's not being total shit.

Now imagine fans of some shithouse English teams like Millwall or Derby not just assuming but KNOWING their team won't win the Premiership during their lifetime.

>That's why College Football is the GOAT American game which will always be better than NFL

Can't say I disagree.

PSG win the title every year m80

>Literally the same 2 teams win La Liga every year
>Literally the same team wins Bundesliga every year
>Literally the same team win 4 teams win Ligue 1 every year
>Literally the same 1 team wins Serie A every year

Nice parity

It's even more comical in countries like Turkey and Russia which have 2-3 billionaire clubs competing every year and the rest are literal whos.

...

Scottish league is an even bigger joke, the last time a team not named Celtic or Rangers won it was literally 31 years ago.

Actually, we have only one rich club. But they still suck ass, despite the monies.

The NBA isn't much better

Compare to college football:
06 - Florida
07 - LSU
08 - Florida
09 - ALABAMA
10 - Auburn
11 - ALABAMA
12 - ALABAMA
13 - FSU
14 - Ohio State
15 - ALABAMA
16 - ?

8 of 10 from Florida or Alabama

>be burger who likes soccer

Fuck off

You faggots are literally insufferable, both on this website and in real life.

Americans will NEVER give a shit about this semen slurping """"sport""""

You people are like the sports equivalent of those faggots who bring up how europeans do things when talking about politics.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

NBA winners since 2000:

Lakers
Spurs
Pistons
Heat
Celtics
Mavs
Warriors
Cavs

Scottish soccer in the same period:

Rangers
Celtic

No we're not
We just mind our own business and have to wade through torrents of shitposts from both yuropoors and you shitlords just because we want our nation to succeed in soccer.

We literally dindu noffin

This, you can't call soccer a sport unless every goal is awarded with multiple points and someone scores every 2 minutes.
Now excuse me, I have to take my daily dose of adderall

>we want our nation to succeed in soccer

That's why talking about soccer is so fucking retarded. Because this will never happen.

We will never be good at soccer because no one gives enough of a shit about soccer to bring kids up thinking that playing professional soccer is even an option.

Soccer will forever be that sport that you played when you were 10 and that sport that girls play until they finish school.

Hockey has rules very similar to soccer (two teams, each have a goal and a goalie, you have to shoot something into the net and it counts as 1 point), yet it has a decent enough following while soccer does not. Why? Because it's not fucking boring.

>someone scores every 2 minutes

What popular American sport besides basketball does this happen?

The big four are football, baseball, basketball, and hockey.

It only happens in one of them.

LIFE LONG

>comparing Scottish soccer (5 million people, not even an independent country) with the whole NBA

Better compare with the Champions League, bru

Fuck off
You called us insufferable but we're not the aggressors.
We don't incessantly shitpost on /hoc/ or /nba/ or /mlb/ or on any related threads
just fuck off, you insecure faggot

LeBron in the Finals:

2007 - LEBRON vs SPURS
2008 - Kobe
2009 - Kobe
2010 - Kobe
2011 - LEBRON
2012 - LEBRON v Durant (now on Warriors)
2013 - LEBRON v SPURS
2014 - LEBRON v SPURS
2015 - LEBRON v Warriors
2016 - LEBRON v Warriors

>Lebron is a team now

This is why NBA fans are fucking retards.

>College Handegg

In all seriousness though, College Handegg is faster pace than Pro Handegg, Less commercial and more actual gameplay.

Hockey is 5 v 5 with a goalie for each tesm. Would be like 5 v 5 soccer on a smaller field. Guys like Ronaldo would be actually exciting to watch in a 5 v 5 match because it would make it hard for him to disappear like he does so much

>Would be like 5 v 5 soccer on a smaller field
That already exists, it's called Futsal and it's pretty good 2bh

Tbh the length and width of soccer field is completely hurting the sport. If we made it smaller it would prop up more technical players who can operate in a smaller space and it would ensure the defenders aren't just standing around and scratching their balls if the action is happening on the other side of the field.

come on now, hockey does not have a "decent enough following"

They Participate in the CONCACAF Champions League, which should be renamed the Mexican Super Cup or something since NO MLS Team has won a Champions League Title since 2000.

FFS The AFC Champions League has more Diversity between winners..

worldfootball.net/winner/concacaf-champions-league/

Americans have been brainwashed for decades into thinking football is "Unamerican" and "commie" so they would continue putting their money into US sports, which are better designed for advertising.

But maybe the increasing number of Mexicans/Latinos in the US will force American media to start paying more attention to the world's by far biggest sport.

Yes it actually does unless you're some beaner living in California or a nigger from the south. Boston, NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, those are all huge cities that care about hockey. It's pretty big in the midwest and the east coast.

I just saw that the US only has two teams that have one it, in '98 and 2000

That's on par with how many Trinidad and Tobago have..They also won 2.

FFS El Salvador has 3.

Making shit up: the post. Soccer was never associated with the Russians or communism.

I doubt it. Americans like being "Unique", also known as Speshals, and making up their own shit and defending it because not doing so is unpatriotic.

I hate baseball, my friends say I'm not american because i should like "America's Favorite Passtime." Yeah, I'll just pass the time asleep, just how I passed the time at every fucking baseball game I've ever been to.
