I bet that you are one of those yobbo NRL types. Football (soccer) is by far the best sport. It is no wonder that it is the most popular sport in the world.guess whos back said:fuck i hate soccer

Don't take me wrongly though...i do like the NRL. It's just that I hate it when people dismiss sports such as soccer just because they aren't popular in this country.
I second that notion - wait - THIRD itmatt#1 said:I bet that you are one of those yobbo NRL types. Football (soccer) is by far the best sport. It is no wonder that it is the most popular sport in the world.

If Australia had a domestic league worth watching...im sure plenty of people would flock to see football games. The introduction of the A-League may result in more people actually going to games.mr_speedy said:isnt it pathetic that most people prefer soccor, but nobody actually goes to watch the game live.
Football (soccer) is also very popular in developed countries, eg- England, France, Germany, etc...so I think that your theory is a load of bull. Like so many others, You only like cricket and Rugby because these are sports which are popular in Australia. I suggest that you look past the end of your nose for a change and see for yourself how great the world game really is.berghousemaa said:I have some theories on the popularity of soccer.
Soccer can be played almost anywhere. There doesn't need to be a field of any sort and even the most rudimentary of objects that can be kicked will suffice.Hell even obstacles in the playground can be dealt with. It is safe to play in an urban environment and costs nothing to play.
This all means it has enjoyed tremendous popularity in poorer countries.
Compare this with Cricket or rugby. To actually play you have to have a field and a team of atleast 8. Plus you can't really play rugby socially becaus of the danger. Both sports but in particular cricket are also really expensive, limiting their popularity.

yeah and it's played by those at the lower end of the class system. So I think my theory still holds creedence.matt#1 said:Football (soccer) is also very popular in developed countries, eg- England, France, Germany, etc...so I think that your theory is a load of bull.

pfft...how can you call Football more boring than cricket. Watching a cricket test match is like watching grass grow for 5 days.guess whos back said:well no,actually.......i prefer cricket, even though it can be slow theres still a lot more going on than someone passing a ball to and from each other........i mean if 3 goals are scored in a game, it's classified as a ripper of a game......how slow and boring
