MANY go all crazy and pretend to care about soccer during the World Cup. At least the US isn't in it this time round, so there is less of that. Most of the people that do enjoy soccer do so year round and don't beat you over the head with it. |

It's a burrito sport  I'll never make fun of Sidney Crosby for diving again as holy shit what happens in the average soccer game is next level flopping. |

Soccer's fine. Not my favorite, but the anti-soccer people get way too wound up over it. |

I don't give a shit if everyone likes something or not...I get annoyed by the dismissal of it being a "burrito sport" from someone like Ogie, who, like me, likes hockey but can't seem to respect how physically taxing it can be...I agree about the flopping...it's excessive, but part of the game....and the over-theatrical reactions to non-calls are extra level hilarious. That said, the major worldwide governing body is almost as corrupt as the IOC...and there are next-level evil dictator type things going on with it. |

soccer fans aren't as bad as golf fans. the crying over a golf course and phil mickelson hitting a moving ball when he's out in bumfuck in the standings is out of control. |

Hates a sport dominated by African-Americans. Hates a sport dominated by non-Americans. Starting to see a pattern... |

I can judge if I like a sport without concerning myself about what “they say.” I’d hate every sport if I cared what it’s loudest promoters said. |

Went out to breakfast on Sunday morning for father's day, and they had soccer on the tv at the bar. Annoyed I guess. I love baseball, watched about 10 games since last Thursday. But I completely understand why others find it boring. |

But you aren't pushing baseball on anybody else, are you? There is a lot of, "How can you hate soccer?! Its the beautiful game! Its the most popular sport in the world!" that goes on from soccer fans. I hate it because its boring, I couldn't care less how popular it is, and the 'beautiful game' bullshit is so condescending that you should be castrated right here and now. Like what you like, eat what you like, drink what you like. Stop worrying about what is on my TV or in my beer glass. |

Was there soccer on every TV? Was there something that should have been on TV on Sunday morning instead? I remember one time I went to Crandall's up in Hebron and I was really mad because they weren't showing the Cubs or the Sox anywhere but they were showing golf. Fuck golf. |

Obviously the only group of fans who are annoying are the ones that promote the sport you don’t like. |

I remember one time I went to Crandall's up in Hebron and I was really mad because they weren't showing the Cubs or the Sox anywhere but they were showing golf. Fuck golf. They had one giant TV at the bar with soccer on it. In some ways I get it, it is a live event vs replaying baseball highlights or having CNN on. And no, I don't push baseball on anyone. I am willing to explain why it is a great game despite the pace. But I fully understand why people do not like baseball. I never begrudge people for what they like, but I will tease them sometimes. Just live and let live. |

American men should be appalled at the way soccer players act like pansies begging for a penalty. That just sucks. |

It is worse. Though that sucks too to a lesser extent. Which is why real men watch baseball. |

Add fans of soccer on ice (hockey) to the nomination and I second it. Clown sports. |

the world cup matches i've seen have been great. i'd like to see how the ratings were; considering a lot of them are broadcast live during the week in the mornings, i can't see big ratings. but the weekend afternoon matches should look good. |
