Football/Soccer is the worst sport to watch

Loves his juicy stink trail scent
I'm at an airport bar/restaurant watching ESP vs FRA. In the 10ish minutes I've tuned in I've seen 6+ times some asshole falls on the ground to pretend his entire leg is busted, then proceeds to get up and play fine.

New rule: you go down to pretend you're hurt then you're forced off the field for 15 minutes minimum. Fuck around and find out.

These dudes barely get grazed and go do cartwheels into a Peter Griffin knee hold.

Idk how anyone can watch this.

here's a bunch of sports worse than associative football:

cricket
fencing
anything with horses
most judged sports
 
Like basketball…they draw a foul. Its excessive esp in certain clubs/teams etc, but its part of the game.

We werent taught to draw fouls other than offsides when I played, but shoulda been!

Nothing beats hand egg. I especially like the bit where they play 10 minutes worth of adverts every 3 minutes.

My favorite sport to casually watch is usually hockey. Basketball is alright too, but basketball I tend to not care until second half.
 
Name me a better sport to watch...

Edit: just seen the above posted at the same time. Ice Hockey is ok if you can follow the puck but Basketball is boring.

Hockey.

Shits always happening. Fights happen and are cool when they do.

Something about the flow of it from a casual guy like me appreciates it more. I'm not a sports dude.
 
it happens in every sport. Players will do whatever they can to get a call their way. And they will keep doing it until they get punished for it.

I'll give you a pass, I also enjoy Ice Hockey but I prefer football (Soccer). Ice Hockey (NHL) is only on pay-per-view channels over here.

This is why your take is shit...

You look for fights in a game that's not about fights.

This is why people watch football:

I don't look for them but I don't mind when they occur. They can be a fun rare occurrence.

Majority of hockey games do not have a fight, and the majority I've watched didn't. I appreciate the slow of the game, and next to no pussy penalty fakes. They come to play for real and I watch. Simple. Feels like anything can happen at any moment.

Damn. Hoes mad.

Tennis is even worse.

Posh twats applauding two or four other posh twats doing the same thing over and over again with camera cuts to posh twat's wife/husband because there really is nothing more interesting to show or talk about when the playing posh twats aren't hitting a yellow ball back and forth for two hours.

Totally agree with the OP.
Soccer is a terrible sport to watch, and the flopping completely undermines any argument that 'it's good'

Gaelic Football is awesome.
 
Given it's the most popular sport in the world you are wrong and should be ashamed. The masses have spoken.

This has always been my take on why American football is the only sport I can stand to watch -its the perfect balance of structure and chaos. The overall framework of the game is highly structured, but once that play starts anything can happen.

Soccer, basketball, hockey all too chaotic. Just guys runnin everwhere constantly, exhausting to follow. Baseball, too structured, slow, boring, no real surprises.
 
Football is the world's most popular sport because it's good. Your favourite isn't because it's hipster bullshit.

Ah yes,American football:

Where, when you don't watch some wanker run the field with an egg in his hand never touching the ball with his foot, you're busy watching 15 min ads of american culture(or lackthereof) every 5 minutes

I give ladies' tennis a pass, but only if they are wearing traditionally white, short tennis skirts. The screeching is a turn off though.
 
Any sport you didnt grow up playing and watching is usually like that...

I dont care for hand egg and if i watch a match of it i also come to the conclusion that its absolute shit

It's structured so that often at the very pinnacle of the game the one thing the offense doesn't want to do is score.
 
Almost all sports are actually kind of boring if you just sit there by yourself and try to watch a game. Try it sometime

The joy in watching sports comes from watching with a group of people and the camaraderie of being in a fandom
