Then don't count on Americans to become fans of the sport like other countries. This is the US, we have faster, more entertaining sports with better athletes. I'm sorry, but watching players kick the ball around for the better part of 90 minutes with rarely any scoring, just isn't going to win over the hearts of many Americans. I can think of about 10 sports I'd rather take part in, or watch.

We also have slower, less entertaining sports with worse athletes. I don't understand what point you think you are making.

Yeah that was a great goal, but there is just something about the occasion (Champions League at WHL), the opponent (Reigning Champions of Europe), the match leading up to it (miracle hat-trick with 10 men) and then THAT goal happened. Instead of bunkering down to cling to the goal advantage, Bale had the sheer audacity to boot the ball 20 yards a head of himself and dare any inter player to beat him to it. It was like a rope-a-dope punch to a heavyweight champ, it took guts and confidence and it was executed perfectly. It really summed up his performance over those two matches.

It was brash and fantastic.


btw, that Stoke goal was amazing.
 
Yes, now enough of this Sp*rs bollocks. Bale is the only scum I can admire.
 
Now this is how you make soccer more exciting!

The run was incredible, Walcott is arguably the fastest player in football, but the finish was even better... almost arrogant. He shot it so early!
 
I'm done debating with you soccer folk. You guys are like piranha's.
