So does anyone care about soccer. I have played it all my life like golf and I was wondering with the world cup coming preety soon who is a soccer fan. I know it is not a huge sport in USA but it is the most supported sport worldwide and it is growing in the US fast. GO ARSENAL!

My former boss was from Whales so I kinda got into soccer for a while. We would watch English soccer and the World Cup. Kind of lost interest since then, but it is a great sport... requires a high level of fitness and coordination which means I don't play anymore.

I played soccer from the time I could first walk until I took up golf. I was on the varsity team as a freshman, and that was the last year I played. I played every year between them.

Soccer is, even more than baseball, a whole lot more fun to play than to watch on TV (for me). It's not on frequently enough where I live for me to really learn about the players and to make me interested in the individual play, so any match I happen to catch on TV turns into "a bunch of guys I don't know running around, occasionally scoring." Which has its merits, of course, but they're few and far between and thus the match is usually fairly boring.

World Cup is a bit more exciting, and I try to watch some matches.

If you knew the post was about soccer and you dont care about soccer then why would you even read it. Or better yet comment on it.

I will say this. Holland has got one hell of a striker in Ruud van Nistelrooy. He is an excellant striker and he is really fun to watch in the Man U jersey (although i am a HUGE arsenal fan). I hope he has a good World Cup but soccer is not a one man game. USA is in a really tough bracket and if they make it out then they win be slated to win. Do you watch EPL?

Sorry America..."football" is the World Game! We were playing before you lot had you first game of "cowboys and indians!"

Not sure about your version....one guy throws a ball to another guy - he catches and 10 fat guys jump on him! Everyone runs around for 10 minutes "hoopering and hollerin' and high fiveing!!"...not sure why!! And a game timed at 4 quarters of 15 minutes each takes about 6 hours to play??

But you have it right with "cheerleaders!"

Sometimes you play "hockey"..... or "fighting on ice" as we call it here!

Hello! first post for me.

It's called fitba' in Scotland and could be considered a national obsession, which is strange because we're not very good at it anymore.

Me? I love it!

The only time I liked soccer was coaching defense in a youth league.
I loved the kids and their proclivity for ganging up on an innocent soccer ball.

Amen! Thats exactly what american football is. "OK guys, we threw that ball 10 yards. Lets sit down and take a drink and a breather!" or better yet "OK we lost the ball, lets put on a whole nother team to defend!"

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
