Yes it definitely set back soccer. I heard fox had a 450 million dollar deal that went down the tubes when they got bumped out of the world cup. The world cup is fun to watch when no other sport is on and you need something to do while having lunch out at the bar. ( I would rather watch it than basketball).
Quoted from TheLaw:You're comparing Lesbians to fucking Nazis you idiot
Only pinside goes from soccer to lesbians to Nazis so fast
Quoted from Eskaybee:most Americans don't like soccer cause unlike football, you cannot cram 60 minutes of playtime into 3 1/2 hours of advertising. Seriously, soccer is a fantastic sport and the fact that America cannot figure out a way to properly corrupt it, and believe me we've tried, is why it continues to be the #1 sport in the world, but not so much in America.
For a pinball reference, it's a sport of flow.
That's why hockey is better than football. Less advertising and more flow/action
Quoted from fosaisu:Actual fighting vs. diving is a wash for me (do I want my kids rooting for the thug or the faker?
Thug? Maybe the older hockey generations were different but not many fighters now in hockey. (I wish there were)
