Why do so many people dislike soccer?

I don't understand it. A lot of people call it a pansy sport and say it's for weak people who are afraid of getting hurt.

I find it pretty exciting, but I wish they would call more fouls, to open up the game a bit.



More scoring would help.

Reply:same thing why %26lt;some%26gt; not many people in Europe think that American football is for "braindead" people.

some American "BOYS" ot "men" whatever people call them called "soccer" as a gamer for "gay" people...when i heard that I was really laughing. but they never answered WHY? :)



Personally I love soccer. My favorite teams" Dynamo" Kiev, "Liverpool" UK

The reason I bring it up is, one of the main characters (an anchor on a sports show) HATES soccor.



I gather it's because of the low scores.



In one show, while doing the sports show-within-the-show he reports a bunch of 1-0 games, mentions "an offensive slugfest" of 2-1, and suggests they make the nets bigger.



It's funny. It's the number ONE sport in the world, but is not popular in the U.S.



I don't do any sports, so I don't know.
