I actually watch the World Cup, but that is it. Our office went to a Sporting KC match and the whole time I kept thinking, "It's like hockey but really slow and boring. Man, I wish I was at a hockey game."

 

There was only one scoring chance in the 75 minutes of soccer that we watched. It wasn't even a difficult save for the goalie. From the time we left our seats and got to our car (about 5-10 minutes) both teams had scored. Game ended in a draw. I've never been interested in attending another match. Although, I would like to go to one in Europe or South America. That would be interesting.

 

I've been to two SKC games now (both this season). I've had similar thoughts at both. There is a lot of downtime during the game, for sure. But the atmosphere is pretty great.

 

Maybe it was not so great the time we went, but if I want to see people stand behind the goals and act like morons I'd rather go to a NCAA basketball game.

 

I know one of those guys. I don't know how they have voices after those games. In fairness, one of the games I went to was against Cruz Azul, and the large number of opposing fans and the nationalistic factor ramped up the crowd quite a bit. The second one, a dreadful draw against Toronto, wasn't nearly as fun.

 

I saw them play Stoke City (had to look it up) in August 2012.

i didn't know the president of egypt played soccer

You pick the winners with scores for all the matches, so its a bit tedious.

the premier league has a team named west ham. what a fucked up thing that is.

also Crystal Palace, it's like a [expletive] casino or something. and they play in like this crazy little shack while their fans sing i swear to God rodgers and hammerstein songs.

i was thinking and it seems like it really wouldn't be a big deal if you were allowed to touch the ball with your hands. you can kick way farther than you can throw. i bet it wouldn't even come up that much. hopefully they change this stupid rule soon.
