why does soccer always attract hooligans?

[Razorguns]

we do the same shit as them. except we do it in downtown streets, and battle with cops.

But to the best of my knowledge we've never brought down a stadium. They've got us beat there.

I don't attend any sporting events. People act like fools and I'm way above that kind of behavior and don't want to be anywhere near it.

It goes back to the origins of the game. Kicking the severed head of your enemy around the town is one of life's guilty pleasures. Consequently, it's traditional to turn the blind eye when things get rowdy.

wtf? if this is true soccer rules, my new favorite sport.

soccer is almost designed to maximise tension/frustration. half time entertainment? nope. occasional 'feel good' events like your team actually scoring something? nope. mascots? nope. cheerleaders? nope. even the players are semi-professional dramatic actors - they brush another player and they magically do 4 twists and a somersault in the air before they even hit the ground, then roll around with a grimace so bad that youd think someone lit their balls on fire

all thats gotta go somewhere...

oh. and, uh...the english. the scottish. wtf do you expect? logic? reason? lol!

 

[stilleto]

1927 called. they want their word back.

 

[harmonica]

That hatred is old school and they roll it over into "futball". Firms also.

Mascots, cheeleaders, 6 points from one goal..... gotta give something to have the people sit fucking 4 hours in NFL game, a field size chess game.

cheerleaders....mascots....help take ur attention away from the shitty game on the field. soccer is all about the game and the game only. 45 mins at a time. Yes, there is a lil bit of fake...diving...but oh well.

but it aint like...basketball or football....where the coach calls a timeout every 2 plays to "re-think our PLAN" what plan???? just get out there and play.

hooligans are gonna be there. think about it. its the BIGGEST tournament in the world.

in my opinion, soccer is man abilities at their best. physical and mental.

you only find a game boring when you don't understand it

or never played it
