North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

Like Brent said, the correct answer to the question of Hope or Alex is "yes".

But, if I HAD to chose...Alex Morgan, no question.

Well, this thread has taken an entirely unforeseeable 16-year old male turn. ;)

How about a Hope-Alex sandwich?

You're starting to remind me of this one time when three of my friends did a sandwich (two guys and a girl, no pizza place :p), and Daft Punk's "Around the World" was playing in the background.

I wouldn't mind a Hope/Alex sandwich.

As to the question at hand, soccer isn't my primary sport of choice, but I do find an interest in the sport, and actually for the same reasons previously described. It's free-flowing with constant action, and it doesn't take forever due to clock stoppages.

I like hot chicks as much as the next guy, but those 2 are going to have to be playing topless soccer before I find a need to suffer through watching the sport of soccer.

You've never been to a Florida beach, eh? ;)

Nope. And besides, if its a beach, there should be scenery regardless of sport, or lack of sport they're playing. Personally, I'd park my lawn chair cooler approximately 20 feet from a volleyball net. ;)
 
Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

When I was in Sweden a few weeks ago, I was there with a colleague from the UK, and he was all high and mighty about soccer and talking about how we just don't get it. He made a comment abount how soccer is the most popular sport in every country but the US, which is wildly inaccurate. To try to prove this too me, for some reason, he started to strike up a conversation with our bartender about soccer, and how great it was. I just shook my head, and knowing that we were in Sweden, I had the upper hand...I cut in and brought up hockey. Bartender dude said, and I quote, "Soccer is good, but there is nothing better than hockey!!!". Then we proceded to talk about world juniors for about 20 minutes. My coworker was dumbfounded. :p

Alex Morgan > Hope Solo.

I'll watch the US during international competition (Olympics and World Cup). After that, no interest really. I think there are quite a few soccer fans on here, JimJamesak being probably the most well known, so to speak.

Yay! I'm well known for something!

I'll take Solo. Alex Morgan's boyfriend is a player for Seattle and I don't wanna derail team morale.

People who play/understand cricket think it is a great sport...for the unaware it is stupid, confusing and painfully long.

We could go out on another board and find hundreds of commentors willing to tell us hockey is stupid, impossible to follow the puck, the rules make no sense, there is hardly any scoring. (sound familiar?)

We've all met somebody at a party that thinks football is barbaric and is all about beer and cheerleaders (like that is bad).

We all know somebody that thinks boxing should be outlawed.

We all know somebody that thinks hockey is a bunch of thugs on ice.

Just like some people would prefer a 1-0 baseball game and others would prefer 13-11...it takes a certain appreciation for any sport. (except women's beach volleyball - we all love that).

If you hate soccer, don't watch it...just assume the millions who play and hundreds of millions who watch are all wrong. It couldnt be the other way around.

If you haven't really seen it, try to go to a college game or a really good HS or club game...when you see it played up close and at a high level, the game is more likely to make a positive impression.
 
Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

i watch epl on espn saturday mornings during the winter. love it. consider myself a nufc fan.

i don't watch any other league however.
 
Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

I'll watch pretty much any national team soccer, so World Cup, Euro, Olympics, USA national team games. I'll watch a little professional, mainly EPL, but that's about 4 or 5 full matches a year. Other than that all my interest is in FIFA. I play a lot of FIFA.
 
Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

I watch the EPl weekly and root for Liverpool, and my best friend is a former european D1 pro and now very successful coach here.. I watch the US national teams when I can and the women as well, though not too much MLS.My only beef about the game is all the diving.

I'll take Hope any time.
I like most sports but Cricket takes too long.
 
Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

Apparently Priceless did delete the old soccer thread because I can't find it.

That riot you hear is Seattle after losing the US Open Cup Final after 5 yellows, 1 red, a PK against (KC's only goal), and a PK shootout save called back and retaken.

Needless to say, Seattle is PO'd. Me, I thought everybody on the field was terrible and I'm not surprised they lost.
