I gave up on the delusion that these players enjoy soccer as much as I do, that they play for the love of the game.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I like about it is the creativity. When I watch good soccer players - the way they have to make a play out of nothing.
Like Christians, Soccerians argue that you should not judge the essence of their faith by the loopy activities of its followers. But the Beautiful Game is in fact quite the opposite. It is badly designed and riddled with flaws.
I love soccer.
I've never met anybody who says they don't like the World Cup. If you're a soccer fan or not, everybody loves watching it, and I think it could be the same for other sports.
I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I follow the sport. I played in high school, a little bit in college, played on various club teams most of my life, and all three of my sons are competitive soccer players and far better than I ever was.
There is still a lot of football in me and I enjoy watching the players go out there and be the best players they can possibly be.
I'm not a fan of soccer, for sure not.
I never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.
The history of soccer is a sad voyage from beauty to duty. When the sport became an industry, the beauty that blossoms from the joy of play got torn out by its very roots.
Soccer is a magical game.
