Finally got our football championship...
Great season by the 5 stripes. Hopefully they can rebuild in the offseason and do it again. Will lose their best players to European leagues, and Tata is heading to coach the Argentinian national team.
I think cricket is the one where they wrestle around in short pants, or maybe it's the one with horses.
Nah, I think that's "hurling".
Realistically, the rest of the world fell in love with soccer because that's all they had and all they knew. If they had been exposed to football, baseball and basketball first, like us, soccer more than likely wouldn't even still exist or at least it would be a minor sport sort of like it is here now. Although a lot of folks will outwardly disagree with me, I believe that deep down everybody has got to know what I'm saying is true.
My Brother can hurl with the best of em on Friday nights, he's lost a step on Saturdays though, he ain't no spring chicken.
Yeah, soccer, football, baseball and basketball are the only four sports in the world, so the rest of the world only had one sport to choose. Makes sense.
Worrisome trend

I guess 22 million illegals can't be wrong. Ya' know soccer is becoming so popular nowadays maybe I'll go over to the old high school this week and take in a match. Better get there early though. There's bound to be a huge , standing room only crowd.
The curse is over
Man, you guys who are dismissing Atlanta United need to go to a game or at least watch one. The crowds are amazing - 73,000 + for most of the games this year, and it’s non-stop cheering. I used to dismiss soccer, too, and it is still not my favorite, but they just won us a championship!
Was at the game tonight. Amazing atmosphere. Felt chills similar to when I’m in Sanford. As a sports fan, I really hope soccer grows in the US.
I don’t understand the ****-talking in this thread. Are there aspects of soccer I would change? Of course. But I can say the same about football. I would definitely rather have UGA win a natty but I will celebrate this win while I can.
Honestly not true. I love Football but if it's still around in 100 years i'll be shocked.
Personally for me: Football=Soccer>Basketball>Baseball
Also, most of the world has their version of football. It's called Rugby.
How is it not a major title? 70k people showing up for a minor league game? Please.
