What's soccer? That's the real football played with feet, not the one where a "real" armoured man grabs a spheroidal shaped "ball" in his hands and runs for his life. How does it justify the name? Not played with feet, not a ball which is a sphere.

And I live in America 

same shape as an Aussie Rules Football, is that football? No idea really.  How about kick offs and field goals.  It does get kicked. but mainly held, which saves NFL players from trying to 'pass' a ball more than 5 yards without giving it to an opposing player, which seems to be the norm in soccer.  Oh, and get paid millions for being unable to do it regularly and with any kind of talent.  No wonder they keep falling over and acting hurt. It keeps their glossed up hair in place.  God forbid that the likes of that jessie Ronaldo goes on the field without his pedicure and glossed up locks in perfect place.

Just a shame it's boring as fuck 

It's like gladatorial chess game on a football field.  As they say in the US, with some justification, it's the greatest show on turf.  Can't  recall the last time there was a nil nil draw in the NFL, probably never, or maybe once or twice in 100 years.  I wonder how many there will be in the soccer World Cup?

There will be none from the next round that I can guarantee let's not derail this thread anymore and keep discussing the World cup football 2018

Not a great fan but watched the 1 - 1 draw Australia v Denmark & enjoyed it, plenty of action. Aust has to beat Peru then hope France beats Denmark to advance to the last 16

I thought real football, played by real men, to a set of conditions/rules/financial laws that make sense,  is NFL in the US ?  

While I do enjoy American Football , especially those cheerleaders are yummy , it dosent even come close to the kind of passion and emotions stirred in real football. It’s not the worlds biggest sport by a huge margin for nothing. 

I have never liked the saying “real men”, what is that ...some butch dude who likes to cut down trees and secretly like to dress in woman’s clothing. We are all different so why should we be measured to some stereotype.

Real football my ass! nothing in this world is more boring than soccer, I hate the way those homo's celebrate when they score a goal, they carry on like 16 year old girls at a Bieber concert!

Up to you what you like, billions love it .....but what has football players sexuality anything to do with the game of fotball ? 

Up to them how they want to celebrate, nothing writing wrong with some bro love.

Except for GoGo Dancing and Poker, I have very little interest in sports. That said, I am a little interested in the World Cup.

 

Who‘s gonna win, definitely not Australia! Germany? Brazil? UK? Russians?

 

Maybe the Germans?

 

 

 

Well you certainly showed your lack of interest Walter.

 

Its the World Football cup (not soccer) and the UK ain't init - England are.

 

As to the winners, England will beat Argentina in the final 1-0 due to a blatent hand-ball in the 97th minute

missed by the new video system.

Maradona has a cardiac arrest in the press box, howling about "the hand of Lucifer".

 

PS: Maybe not meeting Argentina in the final after Croatia's demolition job last night.

Iceland perhaps?

Exciting game and I was cheering Australia on - they could have won it several times late on.

 

Bloody good Denmark goal.

A thrilling 0-0 draw can be as exciting as any with goals, though I do appreciate some can't understand this.

 

How can anyone get excited as a basketball team score their 87th point?

I guess its different strokes for different folks.

I concur that most “soccer “ players act like big jessies (thought that was a UK term ),but NFL players are jessies imo as well,Rugby is a mans game,full contact played by athletes,without a crash helmet in sight ! 

I look forward to you informing Vinnie Jones he's just a big jessie.

Yes, I can see that and I agree about basketball, which I really don't understand the attraction of at all.  But I bet it's fun to pla. y

Only if you're 8 feet tall.

 

Which is another advantage of Footy - you don't need to be built like a brick shit-house or a giraffe to play.

Russia will win it and bump up the prices their gogos even more.

I tried to watch some of the world cup this week its not really for me but I will watch the finals though as I can appreciate professional athletes at the top level in most sports.

Agree 100% none football fans would never understand though, in certain circumstances a 0-0 backs to the wall performance can be hugely satisfying, not just for entertainment value either!
