Apples and oranges really, but if I must...

Hockey is pretty awesome and far from boring. How can a sport that allows armor clad dudes with blades on their feet wielding modern day fighting sticks to fight be boring? Also I doubt that winning the World Cup could ever be anything as awesome as:



Every time I watch that it gives me chills.

Also hockey players are generally badass, while it seems every time I watch soccer theres always some faggot feigning an injury:

That being said, I did play soccer for 4 years so I have an appreciation for it that you capitalist pigs do not. All the above faggotry aside it is hella fun to play.

Soccer would be a watchable sport if:
1. They did something about the flopping.
2. They did something about ties. Ties are the worst thing in pro sports, period.
3. They did something about the pace of the game. It's boring as shit 99% of the time.
4. They did something about the archaic clock management that they seem dead set on.
5. They stopped trying to make me give a shit about faggy Eurotrash teams. I do not, under any circumstances, want to hear about soccer in Spain when I can barely be bothered to care about the team that plays within walking distance of my house (which, by the way, won the MLS Cup last year).

I'm pretty sure hockey is the most badass sport ever. All you do in soccer is run around. Players will run miles in a game and only score like 1 goal? Maybe? Like jesus christ I might as well watch track. And all the sissy bullshit involved just makes me want to punch the shit out of them. I sure as shit don't wanna pick a fight with a hockey player, guys are tough as nails. Hit in the face with a stick? Bleeding? Lost some teeth? Fuck it. I'll just make sure to tag that fucker back. Then a fight ensues. Awesome.

They really have to do something about the flops in soccer; it's ridiculous that some people do it as a tactic. The sad thing is that there are players that are KNOWN to be notorious for flopping and they STILL get away with it. They used to tell players to get up and keep playing more often but now they stop the game too often. I think employing challenges with replays and penalties like in football would be a shit sprinkles addition.
About the European teams, well they're much better than the national teams and people like watching skilled players with good chemistry compete with one another (unlike the MLS).

I don't watch hockey but there definitely seems to be nothing wrong with it at all. Looks fun and the roughness makes up for the fact that they're ice skating in a rink.

I see soccer like an RTS in a way. Yeah, it's boring if you only like battles and think the rest is just killing time. It's very possible you beat your opponent in one decisive blow and the rest seems like a waste. However if you appreciate the strategies and pokes and prods then you can also enjoy when a chance is finally had to score and win.
Anyways it's not like soccer players shoot 1 goal per match and either miss or hit it. They shoot like crazy, it's just that good teams have good goalkeepers and while their saves aren't that exciting to people, it's crazy difficult and they get my respect for that.

Oh and SgS that last gif is hilarious. Love it. Do you know which player that is?

From the last world cup, not too many epic saves but whatever - still relevant

It is possible to not understand without being confused.
It is possible to be inaccessible without hiding.
It is possible to be aware without being awake.

*wishes Canadians gave enough fucks about football (soccer) that they give about hockey and Canadian football*

I used to be all into hockey... but after the lock out I just lost interest. And with the possibility of the "Jets" coming back to Winnipeg... I'm still completely uninterested (especially for the fact tickets are still going to cost ridiculous amounts of money for the same thing the Moose charge 80% less for).

I very much enjoyed the 2006 world cup. Watched that fucker religiously. Zidane's headbutt was epic.

Ticket prices in Winnipeg will likely be on par with those in Edmonton, Calgary, and Ottawa.

But really, it's absurd to say that the Manitoba Moose are the "same thing" as an NHL franchise. The level of play between in the NHL is many magnitudes higher than in the AHL.

As for the lockout, I was definitely put off for awhile after they came back as well. But looking back, the lockout was absolutely necessary. The league is in a much, much better position going forward.

We now have the salary cap and revenue sharing, which are great for small market teams and the overall competitive balance of the league.

The league has also eliminated ties and the two-line pass penalty, added shootouts, made the goalies wear reasonably-sized pads, etc.

It's a better game now than it was before the lockout. It's more balanced, there's more scoring, there are fewer stoppages, etc.
