Ice Hockey is a wimps sport. Play a real mans sport like soccer.?

Question

You mother canuckers are sad that the MLS is kicking the NHLs ***. Soccer is just a better game than hockey. Soccer requires more speed, strength, and skill than ice hockey. Any soccer player could beat up any ice hockey player. Ice hockey players are cry babies. They are overpaid and overweight. They suck. You hockey fans should watch a real sport like soccer.

Answer 1

Let me get this right (and I like soccer, dude), a sport where diving, playacting, whining to the ref, almost no goals are scored and few shots hit the net played by men who look like metrosexuals is a "real man's sport."

The MLS draws nowhere near as many fans as the NHL and that's with smaller NHL rinks vs. larger MLS stadiums.

Soccer speed? Where? Half the time players stroll about as if the game is played with a sun dial. The game consists of short bursts not the all-out skating in hockey.

Strength? Have you even compared a hockey player's legs to a soccer player's? Forget the torso, fatso Ronaldo.

Skill? Then why can't these "skilled" athletes hit the net or score goals? Did you se the Land of Eng players who could not even trap or pas the ball properly yet they play in a supposedly great league? I mean, the World Cup averaged a pathetic 2.23 goals permatch even with games being a freakin' 30 minutes (plus extra time in a lot of matches) longer than a regular season hockey game (give or take the 5-min OT)!

Any soccer player could beat up a hockey player--laughable. Georges Laraque on Line 1 for ya.

A soccer fan is calling hockey players cry babies. Exhibit #1 from the 2006 playoffs, Oilers' Ryan Smuth gets a puck in the mouth, loses three teeth right there on the ice, skates back to the bench (no lame-o stretcher for hockey players) and finishes the game with just a few stitches. Let me repat that--HE FINISHES THE GAME. He does not go off crying to his mommy and the dentist right away. Soccer players get a hangnail they flop like rabbits.

Overpaid--I could argue that in the past but not now under the new CBA. The NHL players get a fair share of the revenues.

Overwieght--yeah, most hockey players have less than 5% body fat. If that's overweight to you, I have some land in Iraq for you.

Hey, doofus, loads of hockey fans in Canada do watch and play soccer. We get it. Hell, I just saw ex-Nux goalie Kirk McLean on TV telling me how he played soccer until age 19 in Ontario.

All I know is the MLS stands for Minor League Soccball. Give me the NASL any day over that crapola. Basically, you must enjoy watching paint dry.

Answer 2

Okay, now I am going to be late for work. Soccer was invented so the babies of Europe would have a sport to play. I can't think of any other sport that when you get bummped in the shoulder you can fall down holding your calf muscle and roll around the ground for five minutes crying like a baby. I can't think of ever seeing a soccer player playing with a broken arm or an ankle yet I know of several hockey players who have. More to that point even in hockey the Europeans are scared to go into the corner. They were just a little to sensable to go into soccer. And hockey is a much faster sport. The average speed of a hockey player on the ice is 30km an hour. Soccer is not that fast. They had to make the soccer field big because they couldn't control the ball in a smaller area because the players might run into each other, can't have that now can we. Then they make the goals like 12 feet wide and 8 feet high (not sure if that is the correct measurments) and still can't average more than 2 goals a game. Anyone who even considers a soccer a sport should just stick to cross country running. At least that way you get to see better scenery.

Answer 3

No comparison...put a soccer player on blades or any other athlete for instance....can't be done. No way in hell can they play hockey. But let a hockey player play another sport...no problem.Steve Nash, before playing basketball for the NBA, played hockey. Larry Walker, before playing baseball in the MLB, played hockey. Mike Weir, before winning a Master, played hockey. Jacques Villeneuve, before winning championships in Cart and F1, played hockey. Each one has won some sort of hardware be it MVP , tournaments, championship seasons. Can anyone recall any athlete that has won anything, say that they played soccer. I'm sure someone has. Soccer is a simple sport, run/kick, that's why it's taught to children. It's time to grow up, watch the only real game, hockey!...better yet come out and play...pylon...or stay at home and watch a game. The networks have made it easier to follow a game. Watch for a blue dot on your t.v. screen, it'll change to red when it goes really really fast, that's the puck.

Answer 4

Soccer is so boring!! All you do is watch a bunch of crazy men run after a little ball. Hockey on the other hand is fast pace, always move, keep your eye on the puck type of thing. And you have to keep your head up unless you want to get really hurt. I have never seen a soccer play get hurt so bad that they have to be carried off the field. Have you ever been smashed into the boards so hard you see stars? Hit in the face with a 100mph weight? I have. Had your skull forced into a frozen pond? I have. Had four concussions and still play today? I have. Have you ever even TRIED ice skating? It is not that easy. And try doing that with thirty pounds of equipment including legs pads at least 7 pounds each, hip pads, a throat guard, a chest portector that does not alow you to move, two huge gloves, a five pund stick, and a helmat that cuts down your view to almost nothing. You wouldn't last a minute on my ice. So don't even think that really men play soccer. We do everything you do except we have to wear gear, skate, and have a stick in our hand.

REAL MEN AND WOMEN PLAY HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

The Mls is about as worthless as you. I love when soccer players get slightly bumper and it looks like they were blow up by a land mine. There all over the place. Pu*sies. And i love how after a guy commits a foul he will sometimes hug the other players how effing cute. Soccer is soooo exciting too 90 mins of a ball going back and forth with one goal getting scored. Sweet sport. I would like to see the results of a hockey team fighting a soccer team that would be priceless due to the fact there would be 20 less soccer players in the world. Do me a favor and let Chris Pronger rip a slap shot into your gay head.

Answer 6

hey **** you man

hockey is the hardest sport on the planet

lets see your *** skate on 1/8 inch blades at high speed, trying to manuvere your way around 5 other guys trying to hit you and kill you with thier sticks. then while your doing that, try to think what your gonna do, cuz in 1 second, the entire play changes, and you have to be ready for it. you need the stregth of a football player, the endurance of a soccer player, and the mentality of a ******* brain surgeon.

your sport is for foot faries

oh, wow, you can run with a huge ball and kick it into a net thats 20 times bigger than a hockey net. lets see your punny *** put a hockey puck in the net you little prick

so don't come around with all that "soccer is harder than hockey" bullshit

its not.

so what if more people like soccer, thats different, it doesn't mean its harder

so go take a dive you little soccer player, and leave the physical sports to the ones that don't fall over when theres nobody near us cuz it might draw a yellow card

**** off *****

Answer 7

If Soccer is so great why do you have to come here to tell us? Could it be that it really isn't? I mean come on if it is so great it would stand on it's own without you coming here to the hockey section to brag about it. Also the crybabies are those soccer players if you watch World Cup. Hey he touched me I better fall down and get a blood packet so I look like I am really injured. I swear WRESTLING is more real then the acting and hamming it up those guys try to pull off. At least in the NHL if you take a dive to try and draw a penalty, and get caught as taking a dive, you get the penalty.

Answer 8

wow um no. Ok i watch soccer and those uys r more of cry babies then hockey players. In the world cup those guys would jump up and come down crying and be carried off in a stretcher. Hockey players will take a hit and get knocked out and be back the next shift. Hockey players are not overweight either, Hockey players are practicing 5 days a week and working out everyday you show me one fat NHL player. And how are hockey players overpaid. Hockey players make lke 2 million a year. You want to see overpaid look at football and baseball, but hockey player are not overpaid. You seriously need to be able to back up ur arguments if u want to say sumthin like that.

Answer 9

Shouldn't even dignify this drivel with a response. I've played both competitively at the high school varsity level. Soccer is a great game, and requires a high level of fitness (especially aerobically), but hockey is truly another animal, from a skill, fitness and toughness level. If you've never played, you simply could not understand

If you don't like hockey, don't watch or play it. It's not there for you to like, or even understand.

Answer 10

I would have to diagree with you. At least when there is a penalty called in hockey it is for a real reason. and being touched and crying to the ref's. Have you even tried skating (balancing0 on ice, trying to keep the puck away from the opposite team, and try not to get hit. I can run and kick a ball in to a 50 feet net. In hockey you dont have a huge net. Plus with a goalie that takes up half of i. Think twice about what you just asked.
