So what is the greatest sport ever invented

Soccer rules

 

[SWScorch]

I always liked playing AYSO soccer when I was a wee lad. I sucked horribly at it, but soccer is a lot of fun. I would have to say that women's beach volleyball is by far the best sport, however 🙂

 

[BrokenVisage]

I'm a hockey fan saying that basketball is the greatest sport ever.

1. Billiards (because you can drink beer while doing it)
2. Darts (see #1)
3. Dodgeball

agree

its the worlds most popular sport for a reason

Obligatory: "So if everyone does it it must be the best? :roll:"

And I think it is the most popular because it is the most simple. People+ball+goals=international football.

Doesn't get much simpler than that.

yea and no other sport has the flow and build up that soccer does either, the beauty of the eamwork and the planning in it is just amazing to watch when done well

The same can be said for basketball and football.

umm not really, pro basketball stops about ever 5 seconds because someone scores a point and it all resets, college basketball has much much more build up for each point, and is actually fun to watch unlike the NBA

and football is even worse, 5-10 seconds of play followed by 2 minutes of nothing, repeat for 4 hours

5 seconds eh? I guess that is why there is a 20 second shotclock...which is often used up entirely. I can see you don't watch much basketball of any kind.

Yes, the play itself isn't long, but 2 minutes of nothing? You are joking right? There is a playclock..a 25 second playclock. 4 hours? The longest game EVER in the NFL was 82 minutes, and 42 seconds. Good job...that is definitely close to 4 hours.

Edit: And to many people who don't like soccer, including myself...it is just 90 minutes of a kicking around a ball and scoring a few goals.

yes the actually game play was for 80 minutes but it takes hours to accomplish that, fiitball games that start at 2pm end around 6 pm, that looks like 4 hours to me, when you factor in every damn comercial they have its true, and yes i was over generalizing however both basketball and football are too herky jerkey and definitly do not flow, adn you are right i dont watch the NBA because it sucks, i do watch college ball because it is interesting, and there is much less showing off, i love watching football but in a perfect world there would be no comercials and no stops other then quarters and 1/2 time

Yeah..but how the hell can you factor in commercials to the game itself? It is more exciting during the time it is actually on when compared to soccer anyway. If by herky jerkey you mean "exciting" then yes. Soccer is boring to me and many other americans...Ive seen games go pretty much the entire 90 minutes without a goal. How fvcking worthless is that..it is pathetic.

And I said basketball of ANY kind, not just NBA. And do they have no commercials during soccer matches?

yea at 1/2 time, the game is on for 45 minutes for NO interuptions from any outside source at all

and you can factor in the comericials because if im watching it on tv you cant fing avoid them

That is impressive that they can avoid showing any commercials during the 45 minutes..or is it that way because over here you have to pay to get the channels to watch the games in the first place? As you know, here every NFL game, according to region, is free on network tv....

other then the cost of cable its free, and they still go 5 min with no comericials in england where its on their network free tv

You mean it comes on cable? what channel? I havent seen many cable channels besides HBO that don't have commercials at least every 10 min.

And only 5 minutes between commercials in the UK? That is still pretty bad.
