Jesus, man...lighten up.
I was joking...you're not really girls.
Let's be honest...it's not the most complicated sport in the world, and watching a chess match is like watching Pro Wrestling in comparison.

Sure, if you like watching grass grow.
Never could get into it, even when I played it when I was a kid. In fact, almost all Americans played soccer when we were kids...up until around the age of 10 when we realized it was a wussy sport and boring as hell.
I mean, baseball can be just as boring and often is, but you never see baseball players crying about falling down or breaking an eyelash, and they get hit with 100 mph balls as hard as a rock. Plus, there's a thing called "strategy" that I find lacking in soccer. There's a small modicum of strategy involved, but it's so basic that it's probably why children can play with little difficulty. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but it makes it a somewhat dull sport. The most exciting part of soccer matches are the fans.
Not poking fun at any of you for liking soccer, just having a bit of fun at the game itself. If this really offends people to the point of serious name calling, then you've got much bigger problems.

It's pretty strange how just about anywhere where there's an open field around here, you can expect to see groups of Mexicans playing soccer.

Never said there was no strategy in it, just that it's quite base.
This will never be a healthy debate, mainly due to the fact that this is something immensely popular all over the world and that people are downright vitriolic in its defense.
I kid and tease you guys about soccer, mainly because you actually are so vitriolic in its defense. I still think it's a boring, simple, and trite sport, but that's my opinion and I don't have this deep-seated hate for it or anything.
Other people tend to bash American sports in its defense without having ever played them, namely American football. The difference is, most of us have played soccer, and many of us find it a sport for girls and small children. In fact, the craziness that goes on with the fans is 100x more entertaining than kicking a ball into a goal.
"Yup! There goes one point! I wonder how we'll catch up? Wait...oh yeah, we'll just kick a goal for our team and score a point of our own."
Lots of strategy there...at least in hockey there's actual physical contact without people crying about falling on soft grass.

Most american's haven't truly experienced playing soccer because 90% of the coaches for the little league teams don't understand tactics or strategy.
And you just think is sucks because you get pussy Italian soccer, I hate watching that shit too, fucking spanish and italians all dive so goddamn much.
That said I think when there is a fucking foul in the box the ref MUST give a penalty kick for the foul or give a yellow card for diving, I the no diving rule NEEDS to be enforced if you really want to stop pussies from doing it.
