PTS Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I can't speak for anyone else, but sorry pal... wrong. And if that's your last argument, I can see this is getting out of your league. "Yeah.... yeah.... well.... well you're fat!!!" hahah - dork. 245307[/snapback] Out of my league? Actually, I stepped in your league with that comment. Soccer sucks, soccer's for pussies. We can both play name games all day long. I feel like I'm arguing with a liberal. You know, when all the facts are pointing in a clear direction, yet they still are set in their ways.

ajzepp Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Mr. Clutch: Just do what I do......make sure you've got HDNet on your cable/satellite provider so you can watch MLS games in high def......order the Fox Sports package so you can see the English Premier League games.......and just keep it to yourself lol PS. I'll put my money on a hockey player to beat the crap out of a soccer player any day.......but don't tell me that baseball has anything on soccer.

PTS Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Soccer is tougher than Hockey? Put down the pipe soccer boy. 245308[/snapback] To play competively ... yes! I can hang up my skates for a year, and come back like I never missed a day. If you don't play soccer for a year, you can't even come close to the same skill level you had before. Case in point... When I played puck in college, I barely played soccer. It's taking me 2+ years now to regain some of my skills. I'm no where near to what I used to be. I missed 8 months of hockey after wrist surgery, I came back better than before. Obviously hitting wise, hockey and football are tougher. To play 90 minutes straight with only 5-10 minutes in between, that my friends is tougher than playing five seconds every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I won't just stand on the sidelines and let people attack something because they don't understand it. On a side note for you: How are the Sabres prospects looking?

Every Saturday morning my friend I watch FSW and follow Liverpool FC religiously. My third favorite team in the world, behind the Bills and and Sabs.

bills_fan Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Soccer??? Geesh, thats where the kids who got cut from the football team went to try and earn a varsity letter. Good enough for them, but it won't ever overtake sports like the NFL or MLB in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My third favorite team in the world, behind the Bills and and Sabs. 245407[/snapback] Yep, I put soccer in my top three with the NFL and NHL......(with the NFL and the Bills being first, of course) I just can't get excited about the MLB and NBA anymore, even though I do love watching Braves games in HD. I'm still trying to make sense of how all the leagues and tournaments are structured, but I love watching the games. When I heard that teams in the EPL are at risk for relegation when they suck, I thought that was a great concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your questions will be answered. I love the relegation system but it wouldn't work in most American sports. Too bad though, the threat of relegation makes every game on every day matter. So even the games between two bottom feeders is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What soccer skills chinese fire drills and kick the ball. Oh thats right, grab the guys ass as you run by. Real tough. Actually as a former coach of some "older children", the biggest thing about soccer is similar to coaching Special teams coverage. Staying in lanes and areas and learning to cover back sides. It isn't difficult. BTW, our team went undefeated and outscored the our opponents 158-2. This was in a 14 games season and playoffs. Even with that many scores by my team, it was still BORING.

Pitcher holds the ball...looks to first...grabs his crotch...looks at the catcher...shakes his head...looks to first...throws to first...first baseman throws it back...he grabs his crotch...shakes his head...spits...looks at first...throws a pitch...ball one...shakes his head...looks at first...out comes the manager...have a chat...grab their crotches...look to first... oh yeah, baseball is a real thrill...

PTS Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yeah you must be a great hockey player?\ 245504[/snapback] IMHO, I believe the word I would use was sick. I was a sick hockey player and kept getting better as I got older. But a really bad wrist injury hindered me in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
