The Eurocup final is a perfect example of why soccer will probably never be popular in the US

The Eurocup final is a perfect example of why soccer will probably never be popular in the US.

Not because it's soccer, bear with me here...

Imagine all the young kids who play soccer in the US.

Soccer is the most popular sport to play among kids aged 2-12.

Imagine all those kids being excited and watching this game with their dad, or uncle, or grandfather, who have probably never played or watched soccer in their lives.

The kid wants his family to watch it with him, to show them how fun it is.

The parents or father figures watch the players run around for 2 hours. They wait for something exciting to happen, because their kid is excited and they want to enjoy something their kid likes with them.

They realize nothing is happening, they don't understand why the score is 0-0 the whole time. They expect something to happen, but when it doesn't, they lose hope that the sport is something they could ever enjoy watching.

They start thinking "Sure it's a safe game to play, but my old man played and watched manly sports, I can't let my son get too into this semen-slurping"

So they gently prod the kid, as the score remains 0-0 after having watched 3 interesting moments in the last 90 minutes.

"Hey son, I think the cubs are playing right now"

The kid, seeing that a player is currently sitting down on the field resting while the game is still being played, sees his parent's dissapointment and boredom, and wanting to please them and be like them, begins to lose hope in the sport.

"Okay dad, yeah lets watch some baseball instead"

And thus, the kid no longer cares as much about soccer as he did before, and once he gets to high school, he switches sports to please his old man or family members or friends, and never plays or watches soccer again.

That is the story of soccer in America.

but soccer is literally all they have though, i don't blame them. they grew up with it. their parents are fanatics about it and their parents' parents were too. it's a country pride thing i suppose since the major tournaments are country vs country.

it's just that they really have no other option.

In sports, there are events (goals) and suspense (impact of an event).
Lots and lots of events (goals) in basketball. But the impact of an event is low. Unles you're in the final minutes one hoop usually means shit.

In soccer, one goal or the threat of a goal creates a lot of suspense. There can be suspense the entire match, without a goal being scored. And then penalties can decide everything. A fucking suspense fest.

Amerifags are soon voting for either trump, a complete buffoon, or clitnon, a completely corrupt lying cunt. What does it matter what people like you think about sports.

You'll see higher scoring games at the amateur level. And baseball, where chewing gum to pass time is literally a part of the game?

then why watch it at all. why not just watch the highlights instead of wasting your time? and your anger towards the greatest country in the world just proves your assblast. i can't believe you're actually defending 0-0 because of your inferiority complex towards America.

>why watch sports at all

>ISIS colony mocking other countries politics

because most of them are not 90+ minutes of absolutely fuck all? are you not paying attention here, Pedro?

The American solutions

>make the goal bigger

>make the ball smaller

>make the goalkeepers have a maximum height of 5 ft

>random penalties every five minutes

You're retarded if you think that even a 0-0 game is "absolutely fuck-all". It wouldn't be the #1 sport in the world if that was the case.

>Canadian ameriboo
Embarrassing

but you're from the U.K.

your country actually cares about this semen slurping sport and is absolutely fucking terrible at it.

Americans always watch international tournaments like casual plebs not realising they always produce the worst games.

Didn't read lol

because it requires just a ball? name me another sport that requires less than a ball. go a head. your 3rd world home country and most of the other countries made it popular because of its financial accessibility.

so? not everyone watches sports just to cheer their country.

oh wait. you do. that explains why you can't enjoy the game.

I am pretty sure a 0-0 FOOTBALL game is much more fun than a heated baseball match

At least in football something happens, in baseball you sit ducks waiting for the batter to get a single base.

You forgot the Ads every 5 minutes

its #1 in the world because 90% of the world is dirt poor and cant afford to care about anything else

>it-it's not like a wanted to win or anything!!

>baseball
>exciting
Pick one

>le le le le

not OP but fuck baseball. i'd rather watch this 0-0 shitfest of primadonnas flopping and taking 10 minutes of covering their face and acting hurt.

Basketball?
Handegg?
The two most popular sports in your fucking country?
>Being this fucking stupid

>lets watch baseball instead

you gotta be joking.

Anyways, I like the pat where americans will come in here and make these threads about soccer never being popular in the states (lets keep it funky, it wont be popular due to the lack of commercial breaks) like the rest of the world cares. Soccer is gaining popularity and its growing at a steady rate, but the rest of the world won't lose any sleep if america doesn't like soccer. It'd be just more bantz to throw at deluded americans their american only sports.

>american football world champions

LOL

Nobody cares about your shitty nigger country m8

>basketball
a basketball hoop, are you fucking retarded?

>handegg
gear unless you want to fucking play retarded tag?

are you fucking stupid you fucking leaf. i actually had respect for you until i came to Sup Forums.

Why do Americans always have to ruin this board?

Can they go somewhere else? Like another fucking site maybe? Just fuck off fatlards

Baseball requires a ball and a stick. And even then, cricket is #2 in the world.
Niggerball is arguably hard without a proper hoop.
(American) Football also needs just a ball, you troglodyte. Unless you play pickup games at the park with field goals too

This is probably the dumbest post on this site right now. It's not even a shitpost. Just plain wrong.

>The Eurocup final is a perfect example of why soccer will probably never be popular in the US.
This and all the blatant refballing

Do you wear shoulder pads and helmets when you play hand-egg at the park?

Best description of every yank sport desu

Shouldn't you be off slurping some of our American shipped semen?

Or are you out of rations?

>he comes to Sup Forums and derives his personal opinion from posts of strangers with different flags FROM A FUCKING ORIGAMI MANUAL CONSTRUCTION MAKING PLATER BOARD

what an idiot

No-one cares

Ignores the soccer nets needed, and the gear needed
I bring up basketball and handegg
>But muh basketball net and my handegg gear
Fuck off dumbass. Might want to off yourself soon

>implying Sup Forums plays sports

>baseball

>basketball

>American football
The Faggots way to play rugby, m8

get your kids to play soccer instead of watching, then they'll want to know more about
The fact is that's better playing than watching it
