I'm a huge sports fan, but I just can't get into soccer.

Watching something for two hours with a good chance of it finishing 0-0 just isn't worth it to me. : /

out of 33 premier league games since 11/28/12, only two were 0-0.
out of 33 serie a games since 11/26/12, only one was 0-0.

I enjoy MLS and the World Cup. I had season tickets to the Portland Timbers last season.

if someone doesn't enjoy the world cup, then they have no hope in liking soccer.

i'd love to go to a timber's game. i've never been to a fc toronto game, but i saw the mls cup there in 2010 and usa vs. canada mens more recently (that game ended 0-0 and was beyond boring.)

I've tried my best to like it. I have too short of an attention span for it, though.

i watch the EPL. Dont have a favorite team, but im anti Man Utd.
i feel like they are like the Ferrari of English Soccer and like the whole world to revolve around them.

but i gotta give it up for Robin Van Persie.


derby game. 93rd minute. score tied at 2-2 and then this happens

EDIT - this is man utd. vs man city (ex champions - who took the cup away from man utd last year on their last game in the 93rd minute)
playing in man city stadium. the people cheering are the only man utd fans in the whole stadium and the blue flares are obviously pissed off people. also someone threw a coin at one of the man utd players and the guy started bleeding from the eyebrow.

just feel soccer is very intense. at least the big games, like the derby

a whole game of soccer takes max 2 hours, about half the time of an nfl game

just sayin'

gotta look at it like there is a chance at a goal every time the ball is on either half.

it was deflected h:

tevez was standing as the fourth guy in the wall there and moved. goal made me mad, i've become somewhat of a city fan.

they cut away from all the fights and stuff on tv, wanted to see it.

i can't stand united either, especially rooney.
