US success is good for soccer in North America. That's it. I don't need to be entertained by all 16 teams that advance.

I love that it truly is a uniquely American phenomenon to hate on such an amazing sport. Even Canadians are more in the know and we're fucking terrible at it. If only we had 330 million people.

Roy said it wouldn't be fair to bench anyone for Wilson.
Uhhhhhhh fuck that take Sarich or Guenin out and let them stew a little while. Total liabilities the last few games.

It's kind of funny too because youth soccer is gigantic in the US. I played youth soccer. But watching it is just so fucking dull.

I played it as well and I can't stand watching it. It's even harder when everyone dives more than Mike Smith in a Canuck sweater.
He gets the ball.
Holds it!
Holds it!
Holds it!
He gave NO fucks!
NO FUCKS, lads!
He absolutely rifled that fuck he didn't give!

Because the parents and the culture around them don't pay any attention to the sport. They just put their kids in it for the recreation quota. It's too bad.
All I do is watch the Premier League. Prove me wrong.
Depends on the area. I grew up in a location where people were nuts about soccer. Problem for me is there was no local team to root for or a national league where there was enough popularity for me to give a shit.
I was forced to play it, ended up hating it. My area in Massachusetts on a broad scale is a hockey/baseball region.
ehhhh

Can't watch premier.
Footy is Euro and World only for me
edit: That could have been me, I do love wind waker.
Ah yeah I can see that. The Bay Area is predominantly baseball and basketball in schools. Soccer is big with kids. Football is also big but it doesn't permeate out culture like it does in a place like Texas. Hockey has a presence but it isn't nearly as big as everything else. It's getting bigger though.
I really wanted to play hockey but my parents just couldn't afford the costs so soccer was it.

They should take up the other SA rules against shitposts (just not in established community threads).
Reading any big gaming event thread is a god damn mess of shitposting.
No.
We aren't worthy of such elevated levels of discussion.
Lol! Haven't seen him post in this thread for a while

Don't be so sure. Paywalls might be able to keep the site up during minor gaming news events.

Jaskin getting top 6 minutes if he can get out of Chicago tonight. On a Hitchcock team? It's a Christmas Miracle.
It was a long shot.

I was nailed for the exact same thing a couple years ago. Was an obvious troll thread on the gaming side, posted a simple "No" in disagreement because I didn't think the thread warranted an actual intelligent, well-reasoned reply...three day ban.
I was traveling today and only just now catching up on highlights, but oh man was that Kreider goal funny. He really needed it, though. Had been in a bit of a slump over the last couple of weeks.
Zuccarello is still the man. The tiny, tiny man, but the man nonetheless.
The team seriously plays flat out differently in front of Cam Talbot than they do in front of Hank. It's really noticeable.
Only took EIGHT games, but we finally got a regulation win in this homestand!

thats how you curb shitposting though. Let them rot.
I couldn't care less about Zelda games (no offense, Zelda fans) but i clicked that thread to see what the guy's point was and just got a huge list of one word "Nos"
Thats the kind of stuff you see all the time on Gaf's favorite site to hate, Reddit.

Phaneuf can't argue worth a damn. That little conversation he had with Crosby was embarrassing.
Champions League, Euro Cup, and World Cup are the only things worth watching in soccer.
Plus BPL, Europa League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and even the occasional MLS game*. I've got friends that watch Brazil Serie A, but I find it too chaotic and inconsistent.
There is so much quality soccer worth watching. The problem is that certain leagues and competitions can be hard to follow because we either get to watch select games at ridiculous hours or the games aren't available at all. There are also no channels that show highlights or discuss games/players. This is slowly changing in Canada as there are more channels and more hours to fill. That said, we completely lost access to La Liga a couple years ago whereas before we'd at least get Barcelona/Madrid matches.
* fun live, but can be too frustrating to watch on TV if you're accustomed to watching much higher quality soccer

YOU'RE A DAMNED LIAR ACID.
Some of those people actually said no and then posted an example of worse. Why the fuck is that bannable?
Yeah. seems new things are bannable each week.
No. GAF doesn't need to be anything like SA.
LOL.
It's hilarious honestly to see hockey fans ignore soccer for the same bullshit reasons most Americans use to not watch hockey.

The MLS is absolute trash. That's your problem.
MLS > Floppers in La Liga

Reminds me of ice cream nachos in the box seats at Comiskey. Mmmmm.
And sure, kingslunk. If you're a fan of watching teams that are bad at the sport they play.
Somehow doubting that because you'd be all over the Leafs if you were.
