Soccer isnt wimpy but have you been tripped or bumped at full speed? Or been dove at CLEAT FIRST in your shin? I havent but can still tell that shit hurts, the whining is part of the game like it or not. We Americans have short attention spans and and a lot like being divided 🤷🏽♂️
Soccer will never be popular in America.
What we’re seeing with the World Cup is a fad. Within months we will be addicted to the NFL again.
Here’s why:
- Soccer isn’t violent enough.
- There’s way too much whining which goes against the American DNA.
- The refs and rules seem incredibly arbitrary.
- It’s in American to have a sports game end in a draw. It’s just wrong.
- Hard to monetize. TV ads are nonexistent. I actually like this element but our American economy does not.
- Did I mention there’s too much whining and faked injuries?
Basically, what I’m saying is that soccer is a pretty wimpy sport. You can hate me for saying this but you know it’s the truth.
I will continue enjoying the World Cup but we all know what happens next.
Back to normal life!
@AmiriKing Who asked them to spend that much money or have all those employees on one game? Just because they chose to do that dont mean we gotta accept the bullshit they are pulling. Youre the little bitch who is okay with it, this why shit gets put behind paywalls. Cause of YOU bitches
Plus most of the media we consume here usually “exciting”like something is always happening in quick successions on screens. My guess attentions spans are so short and soccer is and can be long and drawn out it just doesnt resonate right away. And the USMNT plays fast & explosive
While all this CAN be true, all the games ive watched have been exciting regardless if its a 1-1 draw. I think the real reason why its not popular here because this Sport brings people together like i have never seen before and America is built on division. 🤷🏽♂️
Okay, since you asked, here’s my American opinion.
Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons:
1. The Fake Injuries
Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty.
In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic.
Americans like toughness and grit.
2. Chance Goals
Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalie’s line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds.
In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance.
Americans like control.
3. Low Scoring
In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc
American like constant excitement.
I mean all i see on tik tok is fans from all countries EMBRACING each other and many cultures coming together partying and having a good time. Fans from the same team here fight each other or jump other teams fans or hell destroy their own city after a win.
One thing i love about the World Cup is all the creative, hype and CONSTANT chants that all these countries do the majority if the match for their team… then theres the us. We have nothing hype just random basic “USA” chants🤦🏽♂️
@Gaming_bo3gg I have a feeling we could see a version of Mount Olympus, and a strong feeling the rift that odin was studying and the mask (which will let her leave and go back… my theory)
@Culture3ase@SonySantaMonica Hear me out, that mask in Ragnarok is/was the key to the realm Faye is in. And i believe they threw the mask in the rift i bet she’ll find it and open that rift back up
Even how a little pebble or a hair follicle looks like. Getting info on games from gameinformer was the best time thats when devs could do what they wanted how they wanted with THEIR game and you had no choice but to wait till it released 🤷🏽♂️
This is why gaming is the way it is now is cause of yall. You will straight up bully dev teams and shit on a game based off 1 FUCKING TRAILER typically. Whether its who the protagonist is what their gender is or how they look, the gameplay, the story,
@Alex_Clover_@resh1228 its about the setting, for one its norse mythology theres no make up. Shes also in a realm with multiple gods of war and has to fight to survive and you expect her to serve face the whole time? And yeah those countries do that cause thats THEIR art style. Go play that shit then🤣
@StarGinSC2 Lets see, she died…. Shes also in a realm with multiple God of Wars and its far from paradise. She has to fight or she dies again. But yeah lets have her magically conjure up some makeup serve face despite all the traumatic shit thats happening🤣🤣🤣

Nada en contra del nuevo God of War, pero sean sinceros: ¿Por qué la mujer que aporta su rostro para Faye luce fresca, bonita y radiante, mientras que en el juego parece haber inhalado dos kilos de harina de una sentada?
@KhalidWarsa@K1N3RGY@AustinRoy007 Key word here, OPINION, but yet you over here saying this shit likes its fact that we would come to the same conclusion is you. Which is completely false, ive been gaming since a young child and still find time to sit and enjoy games. Even for hrs. Shit i even game with friends🤣
