And Liz comparing soccer players to male ice skaters hurts
Sorry, it wasn't a direct comparison, just trying to explain why some people don't "get it" and how the people who love it, and participate in it must feel misunderstood.

Just like golf, mechanics and technique are everything.
THERE you go! Another awesomely boring sport to watch, that people, even Americans love to play!

Just don't want these two to be compared under any circumstance

golf is popular because it seems like anyone can play it and play at a high level. People see John D and think "damn, I can do that."

It doesn't bother me that people don't like soccer. What does bother me is the type of stupidity displayed in this thread.

What does is soccer fans who get so pissy because their sport sucks.
You're the only one who sounds pissy.

I think the opposite; I have swung a golf club, and, uh, it's A; NOT going more than 50 yards and B: Direction is not something I control,

it's a lot easier to kick a soccer ball straight than it is to hit a decent golf ball to the average person

no dought but look at a pro golfer and a pro soccer player and note the differences in body type.

I'm sorry that cogent arguments upset you so much. It's not my fault you're an idiot.

We aren't arguing who's in better shape.

Is that supposed to resemble some semblance of soccer skill? The individual technique in soccer is about the same as in golf, but in soccer it's greater because of the team dynamics.
