You're looking at one aspect of it, not the rest of the action. It's a helluva lot more interesting than soccer. Kick a ball around. Woo. In American Football there is a lot to analyze and observe, in soccer... oh look, one team has been in the other team's half of the field for the past twenty minutes but hasn't done a fucking thing.

you must pay attention to the strategy of the teams

This is just like slamming a band without ever listening to them. You don't know anything about american football so don't talk shit about it heh.

And you must pay attention to the play calling and effectiveness, as well as the individual matchups between corners and wide receivers, and the quarterback's performance, and the battle between the offensive and defensive line. American football is just more interesting to me.

american football's strategy:

[King Richard]

Don't be dumb man, there's more to it than that. You obviously know nothing about american football, I don't know what you are trying to prove.

FYP

That being said, I don't see how watching people kick a ball up and down the field for more than 90 minutes is entertaining.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

madden is very realistic actually

Nothing can seem 'realistic' unless you've actually done it. So, unless you have actually played linebacker for the Bears, please don't say being Brian Urlacher on that game is realistic.

Soccer has and probably never will be big in the US. Why? I have no idea, that's just the way it is. Beckham is in LA because he is getting paid 25 million dollars a year to fuck off playing his favorite sport.

I was actually trying to avoid that whole "duur hurr yer game is teh gay cuz all you do iz dis!" argument but whatever.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I'm tired and think soccer sucks. It is nothing but a communist girls sport.

This is ironic because my sister's fiancee is a soccer nut and actually plays on a semi-pro team.

I don't really think people can judge how 'realistic' a video game is (something like Counter-Strike, let's say) simply because the great majority of people have never experienced what CS gives you (killing people, throwing grenades, firing an M4A1, etc).

I don't know how realistic it is to fire an M4A1, which is why I can't judge how 'realistic' CS is.

Yes.

Soccer will never be popular here.
