Well the scantilly clad chicks are an attempt to increase spectators.

If the game itself were worthy of attention it would not need the eye candy.

Kinda like that fantasy league footbal thing...

What is this "soccer' you type of?

Surely not a sport worthy of mention.

The most boring sport in the world is basketball. How many times can you watch some random tall guy put a ball in a basket? They score like 90-120 points per game, and there is like, what 23,901,486,720,348,756,204,378,560,847,508,234,705,283,745,678 games a year?

A team could lose it's first 20 games and still win the championship.

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............................

The only sport I can think of that is more tedious than soccer/football is cricket.

Because you're either watching shitty teams, a shitty league or singularly shitty game.

Can't based the whole sport off of any one of those solely.

Soccer comes in many different styles and flavors, a concept that is rather foreign to Americans who are used to their sports being played one way, all the time.

For example - The English value physicality (strength, speed, stamina)....the Spanish put emphasis on intricate passing and individual skill with the ball, and the Italians favor strategic tactical play coupled with sudden, devastating attacking moves.

The MLS, America's soccer league, has not yet found it's style or identity because it's still such a young league.

If you want to see good soccer, you need to know what you want to see. All of the leagues above have provided everything it takes for anyone who actually wants to like this sport to....you know....like this sport.

I'll bet that black guy who hit on the white chick in your class was a pretty good soccer player.

Skippy would choke on his gin if he knew the Beatles were HUGE soccer fans.

Skippy would choke on his gin if he knew the Beatles were HUGE soccer fans.

Oh, they were!

Beatles legend John Lennon was a talented footballer with dreams of playing for Liverpool before the band shot to stardom.

The band's original drummer and Evertonian Pete Best has told how John always used to always have a ball at his feet, before they went to Hamburg. ...

Pete confessed that John Lennon had the best ball skills in the band.

He said: "John had the best skills in the band, he could play a little bit to be fair.

"We were in Hamburg for the majority of my time in the group, playing day and night, so there wasn't much time for us to watch football really.

"But we were always kicking a ball around when time allowed, like any youngsters.

"We weren't the best of footballers, but like every youngster we dreamed of playing for the big clubs.

Another reason for "Gin"-scpy to hit the bottle.

As if he needed one.

No surprise that the Beatles were footy fans honestly...Liverpool was one of the best teams on the planet back in the 60s and 70s, winning stuff left, right and center.
