.....and let’s not compare soccer to hockey....on any level. Hockey is faster, tougher, has more saves, defensive plays, passes, and goals.....and....no flopping.

Well...indoor soccer and futsal are exciting to watch. Current athletes playing soccer are quite good......but......soccer, local or worldwide, is simply not associated with stats or goals. You either appreciate the play of the game or you don't. Americans are used to the nauseating stats like those in baseball....so and so pitcher throws 75% strikes on Tuesdays in September when the temperature is < 65 degrees and a more than 40% chance of rain......with runners on second and third.........

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI agree and was being sarcastic with the “size of hockey rink” comment. Mister “hockey is so much better because of scoring” clearly does not understand soccer, the beauty within the game, and probably never will even try. But this is the problem with most Americans to be fair. Are used to be the same way until I took the time to start watching it religiously.

Please stop with all this other countries stuff. This is MA Talking Soccer.
We care about our own kid, our own choices, and putting down your choices. We care next to nothing about NT unless our kid nakes it, and absolutely nothing about the general state of soccer - unless one of those cute girls are playing like Alex, Julie, or even Megan. As for your 3rd tier athlete boy.... consoder that we actually prefer to watch curling
