an activity defended by its fans based chiefly on the following, poorly-reasoned premises:
1. It is the "most popular 'sport' in the world." This poor reasoning adheres to the two-pronged logical fallacy of collectivism: (1) what many enjoy does not mean all should enjoy; (2) what many enjoy does not make an activity "good". Further, fans of soccer who base their fandom on its popularity engage in self-perpetuation: "i'm a fan because it's the most popular sport in the world."
2. Soccer requires significant athletic skill and conditioning. Though soccer may, indeed, require significant skill and conditioning, the argument of soccer supporters fails quickly when they attempt to parlay this argument as making soccer's physical requirements superior to the conditioning required for sports such as football, etc. The simple fact is, the activity of soccer, like sports, is played in short bursts of speed, and long lags of standing or shuffling around - the same "lapse of activity" that fans of soccer find fault with baseball, football, etc.
3. Soccer players are tough. This is perhaps the most laughable of rationales, as, even though it may hold water, anyone ever observing "soccer dives" would instantly dismiss this reasoning. Those wishing to proffer the "but they're REALLY HURT when they take dives" defense need look no further than any one of dozens of compilation videos on youtube of soccer players crashing to the ground in agony after being brushed by an opponent.
1. Soccer fan: "Soccer is awesome because it's the most popular sport in the world!"
Common-sense observer: "So does that mean that the most popular items in the world are awesome, and should be followed by all? Is Muhammad the most awesome name in the world? More people in the world practice Christianity than any other religion - does that make them right, and others wrong? Does it just make Christianity the most awesome religion?"
2. Soccer fan: "You have to be a REAL athlete to play soccer. You have to have strength and speed and skill! Not like those other, wus sports!"
Common-sense observer: "Are you implying that it takes less skill and coordination to, for example, hit a 90+ mile-per hour fastball in baseball, or to use proper leverage to re-direct the rush of a 315 pound defensive tackle in football, than to do anything in soccer?"
3. Soccer fan: "Look at Player X! He's on the ground! He got MAULED by Player Y! Player X may never play again he's hurt so badly! Soccer is such a tough, physical game!"
Common-sense observer (five minutes later): "Looks like Player X is back in the game. Like nothing happened. Even though, when Player Y brushed past Player X, you'd have sworn Player Y shot seven rounds of double-barrel buckshot into Player X's chest at point-blank range."

A term that is know as Football to the whole world apart from America, Canada & Australia. Requires you to have agility to run for 90 mins +. Also requires two feet and a round ball. Good balance is also needed. It's the most over paid job that has higher wages than any other sport, alot of the people who play it are cheaters, they also feel that kicking a ball in a net is the hardest thing in the world. Go retardly crazy when they kick a ball in a net. Professional Footballers only play because of the $100,000 pay check at the end of the game. Although they still like the sport. Most footballers earn pocket money by doing advertisments for boots that make poor kids fell like crap, and they get paid millions for it. Get all the nice women because the biotchs are too popular to be seen with any1 who has a useful job like firefighters & police officers etc. Crowd control is also very poor in some countries due to their dumbness of liking the sport and thinking they are hard fight 1 person with 150 of their low life pals. In some countries, the national football side is referred to as "the troops" even they are no where near as brave as the actual troops who fight for their rich asses. Chavs also favour this sport.
Rugby, American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Basketball hell even snail racing is more fun than soccer.

Most popular non-contact sport in the world. Rugby turns out to be its bastard badass son.
Play Soccer. Screw basketball with ridiculously high scoring and giants who can dunk while everyone just sits around.

A sport were you have like no protection from getting hurt. You actually have to move. Unlike baseball and nascar. It usually gets made fun of my American football players and baseball players by being called girly, faggy, and a gay ass sport. I'm sorry we have to run around like crazy for 90 minutes and you baseball players stand there watching the clouds go by. It's the world's popular sport, EXCEPT United States, be we know all soccer players get the girl.
Ethan: (Breathing Hard) My soccer game is SO tiring, i'm BEAT, hey didn't you have a baseball game, Owen?
Owen: (Breathing calmly) Yeah i looked at the clouds and saw a bunny shaped one!

pussy sport that frowns upon any real physical contact. object is to get a ball into giant net with the score usually being 1-0. often thought of as a very physically draining sport by the ones who cant play any other sport cause there mommys dont want them to get hurt. try blocking a 100mph peice of frozen rubber and being checked into boards and hit with sticks and then tell me how draining soccer is.
wow that pussy tripped over his own feet goin for that ball.
