Worst sport, vote on opinion

I wouldn't agree with that. It's great to watch and great to play.

I agree with that.

Soccer is incredibly boring to watch. Great to play though.

What the hell? Boring to watch?!

Hmm, what sort of a man are you?!

I find soccer really exiting to play,so compared to that watching is pretty boring.But in reality I find watching soccer,especially watching the EPL real fun.

Actually the correct name is Assocation Football. Soccer was first used as an abreviation in England when Rugby Football came about

We have:-

Assocation Football
Rugby Football (2 codes)
Aussie Rules Football
Gaelic Football
International Rules Football (Hybrid of Aussie Rules and Gaelic)
American Football
Canadian Football

And probably some more too. All have the right to call themselves football, as all are versions of football.

Assocation Football gave rise to Rugby Football and Gaelic Football
Rugby Football gave rise to both codes of rugby and American Football.
American Football and Rugby Union combined to create Canadian Football.
Gaelic Football and a bit of Rugby gave rise to Aussie Rules football.

One who doesn't slavishly follow the herd and is willing to accept the truth about football..... that it's been boring for years, and England are crap at it.

american football dont kick the ball

If you've never watched a game, why bother commenting on it?

How much are feet used to kick a ball in american football?

About the same as in both codes of Rugby Football.

All those sports listed are well within their rights to call themselves football. Association Football, Gaelic Football, Aussie Rules Football, America Football, Canadian Football, Rugby Football. What's your problem with calling them football? Surely a true fan of assocation football would be proud that their game has given rise to so many other sports, more than any other?

Well what i have to say on the matter is this: Did anyone see that goal by Garcia today?Against Anderlecht? I don't like rugby,it an american football have less right to be called football than soccer.Though it doesn't really matter.

Why? They're versions of football, so why shouldn't they be called football?

I think Aussie Rules Football should stay in Australia. We don't want it shown on BSkyB!

Your loss mate, great sport once you understand it.

Aussie Rules is an awesome sport, i don't care if it dosn't go international, it thrives here in Australia, number 1 sport here by a fair way, followed by soccer.

For all the people from other countries around the world, don't let the name Australian Rules football fool you...it's a very multicultral game here, plenty of Croations, Italians etc representing the AFL. Ive known a lot of English get into it when they live here. Most people over seas just don't have any exposure to the sport.

Of course, the name Australian Rules Fooball turns people off it...but people should check it out.

Note: To schools in England have recently turned there sports program from soccer to Aussie Rules.

Agreed, much better sport than the Association variety of football.

More people play soccer than any other sport in Australia.

True that, but the AFL is the most supported by a mile, the thing about soccer is it appeals to parents, because they know there little Johnny's won't get hurt, but most stop playing it by the time they hit secondary school.

Also the AFL is the top league of it's sport, so you see the best players playing which is why it's well supported, the A-League is full of hacks bar a few.

Other than when Australia plays in the World Cup, Soccer is very boring, im sorry but i have grown up around Aussie Rules football which is skillful, fast, and tough.

I can't argue that soccer isn't the most popular sport, we all know it is. But i can argue it's not the best.
Although i enjoy playng Indoor Soccer!

Say that to any country where football is popular (much more than half of the countries in the world) and you would get laughed at!

Yes but here in Australia we have an indegenous football code to follow, we call AR football here, Association Football is known as soccer. Just depends where in the world you live.

Might i just add i remember reading the AFL is in the top 5 for the highest average attendaces in the world for any football code! i think even higher than the EPL...the AFL average around 35-45k i think. We get over 60k for a lot games and 90k for a match between Essendon and Collingwood...the Grand Final gets close to 100k and the crowds very rarely go under 20k...

It's sad to see so many one eyed soccer fans, that don't open there eyes and look at other football codes around the world, soccer is not the only sport in this world, just because it's the most popular dosn't mean it's the best!...Ford (car company in Aus) sells more cars here than Mercedis (spelling) but Ford make crap cars, just because it sells, dosn't mean it's better.

Soccer got head start in this world because think about how many countries in Africa, Asia and South America were colonised by the Dutch, French and English, they took soccer to those continents long ago, before any other football code was exposed to them. So soccer grew in Africa, South America and Asia because the people wouldn't have even heard of Aussie Rules, Rugby, Gealic and American Football. Now we are slowly seeing the rise of other sports in this world.

Im sorry but it's reality, have you noticed in coutries that have there own football codes, soccer is not usually dominating the sports market and is usually 2nd best. eg Australia, New Zealand, America.

In terms of the sports that have some sort of public interest, cant go past American Football.

Its not that the game in itself is bad, its just stopping for 5 minutes every 10-15 seconds, and the players are cockless. All of them.
