USA didnt qualify for the EURO 2020. LOSERS

[Domo]

Baseball is super boring to watch...its fun to play though, but still a very slow sport like american football. More breaks than playtime.


Halftime @Poland vs Slovakia.

Surprisingly, Slovenian leads 1-0

I imagine that baseball would be less fun to watch if you're into lying and crying as a theme for your athletics.

We straight up took a teams ring for cheating, in football you've already defended it.

Stripped a man of his 30 year legacy because he bet on a game he didn't even lose.

Have some standards!

lol, shit's hilarious.

I'm an American who moved to the Netherlands a few years ago. Prior to moving I didn't really give a shit about soccer. But living here makes it's fun. Especially in an event like this Euro 2020 tournament. It's bigger than anything you get from US sports. Different countries with all sorts of nutty history competing, so there's all sorts of pride/anger involved. All my neighbors have their Dutch flags flying, people wearing orange everything. It's fun, especially as an American pseudo spectator.

It's not the most exciting sport. Hell I prefer American football. But it has its moments, and you work with what you got. Watching Ronaldo jump 8.5 feet in the air and score a header is a thing of beauty.

I think the diving is dumb as fuck too. With all the instant replay these days I think they should be penalizing the fuck out of it. But to get all worked up and saydumb shit like it's not a sport, it ruins everything, or they're not athletes is just silly. Like all sports, it has parts I like, and parts I don't like. It's really not that big of a deal.

yeah my mommy made me play this may pole dance activity when I was a baby too, I just grew out of it.

It's one thing to say that soccer is a good sport, but the fact that everyone who says that also defends flopping just shows that it's not a good sport.

Soccer is a good sport and diving is fucking stupid. It's okay to have both opinions. It's okay. We'll get through this together.

I would like for it would be ok to have both opinions if it wasn't literally something they draft for and have been doing/defending for like 15 years now.

It's a HUGE part of the sport now and you cant argue that it's not.

soccer embraced flopping and is now:

Also hokey gets points for being soccer, on ice, and instead of crying, they punch each other.

All soccer should be replaced with hokey prove me wrong!

We must be watching different games. We're into the second half of poland/slovakia and I don't think it's happened once yet. Maybe your tv is broke.

Do you have any references for player getting recruited for their diving skills? Honesty asking. I wouldn't be surprised I guess, but I can't seem to find anything on the google.

[Polixa]

Sometimes the diving is legit - the player wants to ensure the ref notices the foul. In American Football there are 37 referees all waiting to throw their panties onto the field whereas in real football it's just the ref and the closest linesman.

I mean the fact that after that,the sport is so broken that it works and convinces the "refs", is just another argument in favor of the sport not being a sport and just an activity.
