Half of it is to do with the youth system. It's currently expensive as hell to raise a kid to be a footballer, taking into account academy costs, travel costs and time, and nepotism in the league. It's like basketball where the scouting system is so fundamentally messed up.
They dont take breaks, theres not alot of goals, and they dont use their hands enough.
And 45 minutes of constant running before a break, the another 45 minutes. And if theres no winner. Keep going.
I mean one time during a match, christian eriksen ran 13,6 kilometers during one match
Commercial breaks make me dislike American sports in general. There's so many of them in every sport
crazy thing is Football Makes A lot of Money so you don't need to cut the game into pieces and put ads in the middle to make a sport profitable
Are they doing aoami flying to la galaxy type whole country with lower divisons more regional type of thing or what!
😂😂😂 clowns. Basketballl is wwaaayy harder cardio than soccer. Game 7 NBA Finals, best player in the world CANT play a whole basketball
Game. Meanwhile, 18 guys jog a whole soccer game.
Football/soccer is losing popularity in Europe
He got impressed while watching the MLS, imagine he watched the English Premier League, or one of other big European leagues.
Build a 100k stadium just for college soccer
i heard soccer, I QUIT VIDEO
Todo el mundo 🌎: Football
EEUU; soccer 🤡
joe rogan basically interviewing himself
Americans are sedentary. Soccer isn't "physically demanding". a lot of people can do it you're just lazy. Football is lining up and standing around. They try to say it simulates war and it's not true. It may simulate protecting a fort of some crap. MMA is sedentary. I went to a mma gym and jiu jitsu. I quit because someone tore my acl and you're mostly sitting on your butt or in a small space wrestling. It makes you worse athlete because it's sedentary. If there is an earthquake or a fire I can't run away.
I really hate your housing. I'm an eighties baby the housing then was based upon PBS where you idealy want to live new england type home with a yard and trees to paint with the dude who has the afro, and a yard to grow food to cook and eat. you don't want a giant house to never go outside. now they put everyone into buildings and townhouses and that's not because of lack of land. You have plenty of land going into the midwest.
It's cultural, you're fat and lazy. Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and the countries that did the work to get here aren't lazy like you. That's why they play soccer and do the tour de france, and they do adventure racing, skiing, and mountain climbing. You do stand around hitting things as sports. You're lazy.
I don't like standing around hitting things as a sport. you need more mass shootings so that your dumbasses learn how to run. That's why your dumb kids get shot. instead of running they try to stand around hitting things. The black kids in the inner city know to run. The white suburban kids just stand there swinging at the air. They stop drop and roll from jiu jitsu like they're on fire.
My Mom noticed that in the 2000s you never see kids or anyone playing outside. before you would always see kids on their bikes or playing outside. You don't see that at all now partially because there is no space.
Because Americans suck at real Football ⚽️
No breaks is the reason that in Europe or Latin America our behaviour is absolutely as a hooligan..we love our team more than people think.. something insane to believe
Joe was impressed just by seeing the Autin league, imagine if he goes to a Champions League game.
Adoro esportes e na pandemia dei uma chance ao futebol americano, confesso que achei divertido. O que me fez parar de assistir foi a longa duração dos jogos e a massiva publicidade e espetaculo realizado. Cara, isso me aborreceu demais.
As pessoas so faltavam ficar dando cambalhotas na frente da câmera para tentar chamar a atenção do telespectador.
Here's how you fix soccer to make it not suck:
– Make the field 1/4 the size that it currently is. The huge field is one of the main reasons that the score is always like 1-0.
– No more of this tracking the "extra time" and tacking it on the end. Just stop the clock when the ball goes out of bounds.
– Move penalty kicks back so that it becomes a test of skill rather than just a guessing game between the kicker and the goalie.
– Diving should result in immediate ejection. Get the B.S. acting out of the game.
Joe is smarter then dana.
The real football
Europe is always boring and not interesting
America is always interesting and easily communicated with 🇺🇸
Soccer sucks!!!!!!!!! It's boring !!!!!!!and it's not called football and maybe another countries but not in ours and our country football is football the NFL!!!!!
Basketballs from the start,score,score,score,but its only the last 10 minutes worth watching…
Probably the same as why us sport aint big outside the us…
FUTBOL
I knew they did a lot of running but this highlights just how much. Sometimes I think it's candyass for limited contact compared to gridiron but it's tough in another way
American people are not actually watching a football match, They are watching an advertisement one and another. That there people don't get boring then they play some game for who came to watch ads.
The Real fact is that americans cant see a sport ending 0-0 or 1-0
The need al lot of points, that what They like, They cant understeand a game ending 0-0 simple
Americans like super bowl commercials
yeah but they want to call it football that's what a lot of people don't like
Funny that eventhough Soccer isn't a big thing in US but yet they managed and able to compete in the world cup and they're great. Unlike countries where they claimed that football as their national sport but hardly qualify in the world cup.🙄
Soccer sux and pussies are abound
Football means you use your foot to play. I don't see much foot used in american football. It's more like american rugby not football.
not soccer, football my friend
Soccer sucks. 8' × 24' goal with no goals says it all. All American sports are better. Rugby is better than soccer. I can watch full games of that vs the sevens shortened style.
Not even american but football is boring as hell.
😂😂dude really said that "basket ball is full of emotion that football isn't"
Never been interested in soccer. Not knocking it or anything just was never into it
Soccer Way too slow and boring for American attention spans .
Just having the argument with my friends in America. They claim basketball is harder than soccer 😂😂. If Shaq O’Neil who weighs 300 pounds can play basketball ball, it’s not that hard to. Shaq O’Neil is too big too slow to even play with under 10 in the soccer league
Soccer sucks. They flop more than lebron.
