   I really do hate footbal/soccer, no offense but i find it soooooooo boring. lol. However, when i was younger i was a Man U fan, crazy to think giggs is still a world class player, still playing. I worked with giggs dad for a while aswell, intresting storys there.....
   
   Anyone watch the motorsports? got any formula 1, moto GP or touring car fans? ive watched NASCAR a few times, find it a bit boring tho.

   don't understand how you find a sport that doesn't stop the clock, have a timeout, or take commercial breaks as boring but it's all good
   
   you need to have a beer and watch Barcelona play, I bet you wouldn't mind watching it then

   I think the key to soccer is watching it with other fans. With soccer, its more about the interaction with fellow fans than any other sport.

   Earthtraveler - PSV is a fun team to watch man! Who are you going for now in the Champs League?
   

   
   
   Hahaha, that's priceless!
   A dude from Memphis, TN knows about PSV, it's a small world
   F*ck Ajax Amsterdam!!!
   
   Don't really care for other teams anymore (accept maybe the Glasgow Rangers)
   Back in the days I used to be a bit of a Real Madrid fanboy, mostly because of Zidane (what a player, he was!)
   So, I don't really have a preference for anyone in the Champions League.
   But, if Messi keeps playing the way he does right now, I don't see anyone stopping Barcelona at the moment. (Madrid - Barca tonight , is gonna be cracking)
   No doubt it's not A-Rod's fault, because it's the people who run things (as always) who offer the contracts.
   But, I think it should simply not be allowed for players to be paid such high salaries.
   I mean $275 million, is such a ridiculous, ridiculous number, probably more than some countries in the world have to spend.
   It just shows the injustice in the world, and it really isn't fair.
   And it's not that this is the only exception in sports, or whatever walk in life.
   The poor people of the world do all the labour, get exploited again and again, with the big businesses and franchises always profiting, and the people who had a big deal in the making of the 'product' get barely enough for a bowl of rice.

   I think it's like the cats that say baseball is,"Too Slow". Most soccer games I watch, they end up kicking the ball around to each other for a long long time setting up that 10 second moment where they strike for a goal... I can see how this would be boring. I think I like the Corner Kicks the most because you know that something good could be coming...

   Yea, Memphis is a soccer mecca believe it or not, we have a ton of really good youth teams here and an adult league that has over 120 teams in 8-10 divisions, people travel 10+ hours to play at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex here
   
   I agree about Barcelona, I hope they smash Bayern in the final for beating United, Robbens goal was pretty sick though, still think the away goals shouldn't count though, I will be watching the Real vs Barca match really late tonight after I get home from partying
   
   
   SLC HEAD - You should check the scores of soccer games because lately they have been pretty high, and it may bring on some excitement , whats funny to me is Baseball scores are the exact same as soccer scores, but take DOUBLE the time to achieve it, yet you hear people complain about soccer games being boring... last year Barca vs Real Madrid was 6-2 in 90 minutes of play... baseball games reach that in 3 + hours on a good day

   Well Kyle, since you live in soccer Mecca, I guess that explains why you think soccer is the dopest/baddest/most-entertaining sport... Regardless of what the scores are, if you don't know all the in's & out's of a sport, how are you gonna thoroughly enjoy it (playing/observing)? I think the best Baseball games are the low-scoring pitching duels, but than you would consider that boring right? I like the stragedy behind the pitch selection/location compared to a blow out home run fest...
   
   Same with you though, you understand the stragedy behind Soccer & why they kick the ball in a circle a hundred times. It's all relative I guess, I'm not hating on soccer, I just said that I can see how people think that is a boring sport to watch. And for the record, most the people I hear talking about sports being boring are talking about Baseball & Golf. Probably won't hear many rumblings about golf now that Tiger is back though...

   truth! that's funny you say that, I'm the typical "home run slug fest" type of baseball supporter haha but seeing how I'm a sports freak (espn is on all day everyday on my tv, or FSC haha) I can def appreciate the art of a good pitcher, especially the guys who have an arsenal of different pitches, I think for me, the best thing about baseball is being at a game, you have to take in the smell, the food, the fans, the songs and chants, the sounds of the crack of the bat, to really get a good fun experience out of it, but that's just me
   
   
   it can be said the same for soccer games - i mean, just check out this atmosphere
   
   

   
   

   
   AND THAT'S AMERICAN SOCCER HAHA
   
   check out these dudes
   
   

   
   people die there ......

    Ok, here's what I want to know. if you are just starting out as a fan of certain soccer team, is there an "orientation" you can go to to learn the team songs? Who makes them up? How did the Seattle Sounders come up with their call and response?

    HAHA! I love bob dylan and dont like golf, wow, but we all love the P so that surpasses any diffrences. lol.
    
    With regards to my not liking soccer, ive tried to like it, ive worked down the ground (ninian park, cardiff city, boyo, lol) truth is, my family just aint into it, and it must of rubbed off on me. Another thing too, with rugby i can go to a match, then after the match sit with fans of the opposite team and have a pint and chat, wheras at a soccer match, i just cant do it with most fans, prehaps i just hate the hooligans and a**hole fans that seem to go to soccer matches, obviously its only a minority of fans, but they really do F*ck it up for the rest of us. mind cardiff city football club has sum pretty bad hooligans so maybe thas why it seems like its so bad.
    
    whats the hoolaganism like in america? i know spain got sum real hooloigans for theyre teams, i think france is bad too.
    
    peace

    Than Germany, might be the place for you.
    Been to a couple of games in Germany, with the old man.
    Fans of opposite teams just mingle over there, might catch 'em drinking beer in the same place, very friendly altogether.
    There is police at the games, but they know there's going to happen f*ck-all, because they are no fighting types, the Germans.

    haha not really, you learn them by just going to the matches, the Chicago Fire have songs and chants , you can check out this website
    
    http://www.fanchants.com/search/?keyword=chicago+fire
    
    they have all sorts of teams and all the lyrics to their chants, audio on most european clubs, def check out the globe pub in wrigleyville, best soccer bar in the world and the meet up spot for fire fans before and after games
    
    seattle has been a soccer mecca since the 70's, a lot of people don't know this but the sounders have been a team (in smaller leagues, with diff name) since the early 90's, the city has been a soccer community for a long time just because of soccer fan immigrants who moved to the city, it's kind of cultural there

    I guess I feel a little sheepish about this but, I live like 5 minutes away from the REAL Salt Lake Stadium & have yet to catch a game. Soccer is a pretty big deal here as well. I think we even won the MLS cup last year...

    ARRRGGGHHH!!!
    
    Reading about "soccer" is annoying me. Can I just say, it is football. We had the name first. You're sport should be called "handegg" or something.
    
    MLS, I have to say, is a bit sh!te. Although I can't really talk, because the scottish league is f*cking terrible
    
    (by the way, Earthtraveller you blue-nose basted!!! just kiddin )
    
    It's all about the premiership, serie A, the bundesliga... I can admit that domestic footy can get a bit dull some times, but the champions league, the european cup, the world cup, the African League of Nations Cup, these are the greatest sporting events in the world. Never mind your world series, which only has american teams in it!!!!
    
    Hopefully I've annoyed some people with my hateful and ignorant comments. Thanks for your time.
