....and I explained average gate means shit unless you compare like with like.Originally Posted by Ava Estelle
Bollocks, I've said the same thing throughout this thread, the average gate, you'd need to be thick not to understand, oh, wait ...
Otherwise, like you tried to convey, it's irrelevant.

About soccer in America...
Seems to me that I've been hearing that soccer (football, whatever) was going to be the next Big Sport here for over thirty years now.
All it was supposed to take was a generation of kids growing up with the game and turning into adult fans...so what happened?

They started watching soccer and then remembered the excitement they had with the NBA and NFL and so put soccer on ignore.

I don't think soccer will ever be big in the US either.
No offence intended but you chaps simply don't appreciate the subtle.
How can it compete with armoured men, throwball and rounders.
To each their own.

Yet
that is why they pushed in Beckham,
for
he is the chosen one, (voice from matrix)
from that day on all football players will be handsome, their wives sideline cheerleaders, so that the world can be united in one united monogamous sport, watched and promoted by LA stars.
He is the link.
Although i think selling him to China would have better consequences per capita.

I work with 2 guys that played soccer in college and they said something similar.
He said when you watch a soccer match, that a player could do this little thing or move and soccer fans would say "Ohhhhhh" but the average joe would just look and say it's no big deal.
I have to admit that it might be that once you've got things like
the long bomb
the hail mary
the blocked punt or field goal
the punt return for a touchdown
the bone crushing blind-side hit on a receiver
and the trick plays of football
or
the buzzer beaters
the alley-oops
the dunk in the face
the shaken ankles
the give and go
the steals
and the behind the back passes of basketball
then it's very hard to watch a soccer match. I think that one thing that makes soccer exciting for fans is the anticipation of a goal.
I do however love when a player shakes the hell out of an opposing player and makes him fall. Doing it with the hand like in basketball is one thing but with the feet is simply amazing.
Tbh, I can't imagine baseball taking off if it was invented well after the other . Who knows?
I am curious though. What makes a spectator lose it at a soccer match?
What makes you jump up and go "WOW!", besides a goal or the aforementioned shake, obvious meant.
Sometimes basketball and football have me exhausted. I just can't see the subtle doing that. One of those former soccer players at work pointed out also that although it's much harder to score a goal in soccer, basketball and football are far more complex games.
