kaiser SET say Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 For Christ sakes he's just a little skinny white boy who plays a game, puts his pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us[] I have heard inside rumors that he was approached by American reps with a super offer and that he will be what gets Soccer off the the bottom shelf in this country (at the pro level). Personally I can't wait for the first soccer strike[:|] LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take you down old man : ) I don't doubt that they will be in the tabloids or that they will be followed but it will pale in comparison to the attention they get in the UK. I hope you are wrong as it is a world wide sport and America is one of the few countries that doesn't have that much interest in it but I do hope that will change. I think its mostly because the USA gets its but kicked on a regular basis when they try to compete globally. Soccer boring are you insane didn't you watch the final games of the World Cup. It was a blast. I actually had a signed Pele soccer ball and got to see him play in Dallas when I was 6yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted January 11, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2007 I remember going to Cleveland Force indoor soccer games in the mid-80's over holiday breaks (going to see family in that area) and they were a blast. I think the sport could have a lot of potential in the US, if people would have open minds about it. Beckham being here certainly won't hurt, and it's certainly no more boring than watching baseball or golf (THERE, I said it!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 "Well in order to play Rugby they would have to give up their girlie padding and helmuts.... " Rugby, like Irish and Australian football, is a contact sport with tackling. American football is a collision sport with tackling. Note the difference. American football couldn't be played as it is without the protective equipment. One thing about soccer (a sport I despise by the way) is that at least a lot of kids are playing it. On the other hand the only time I see kids playing soccer is in organized situations controlled by adults, I never see kids playing "sandlot" soccer the way I see kids playing American football and basketball. Maybe it's different in immigrant neighborhoods, when I was a kid there was small Greek neighborhood near ours and I'd see the Greeks playing soccer in Columbus Park. Sandlot baseball really seems to have gone down the tubes, adult involvement in the child's sport of baseball has evidently ruined the informal aspects of the game. I see very nice diamonds with backstops sitting unused during summer days, when I was a kid you had to get there REAL early to use such a diamond and be willing to fight to hold it. Most of the time we played in praries or played lineball in the alley. It would be best if ALL adult involvement in children's games was outlawed.

TBrennan Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 "and it's certainly no more boring than watching baseball or golf (THERE, I said it!)." Baseball is about the pitching Amy, if you sit there waiting for someone to hit a homer you will be bored. To enjoy the game you gotta get into the pitching. That said baseball just isn't for some people, especially today when people walk around with telephones stuck to their heads (and don't even feel like idiots).
