this fruggin soccer match
 

no offense to soccer fans

better not ruin the derby pp draw show, I really enjoy watchin it every year

This thing's going on for at least another 15 minutes. To be fair, there are way more people that care about Chelsea/Liverpool than care about the Derby draw show. They don't usually draw until about 5:30 anyway, so we should be fine.

cool and good point soccer is huge with the folks across the water, its like life or death for some of those cats

To be fair..... no one in this country cares about soccer.

You're wrong. Nobody gives a **** about AMERICAN soccer. There is a pretty large following of the Champions League.

By large he means 27 people in the greater tri-state area.

(Note: I love soccer, but I'd hardly say there's a large following of anything non-World Cup related in the United States)

Not in this neck of the woods, hockey isn't big here either......what's the Champions League?

I disagree. The Premiership and Champions League seem pretty popular, at least where I am. It's also a very dedicated following.. My guess is at least 60% of Premiership fans are watching this. What percentage of racing fans watch the Derby Draw? 25%?

What's the population of soccer fans versus horse racing fans? Then you're percentages will make more sense.

I'm pretty sure there are more U.S. soccer fans than horse racing fans.

100% fact

Oh for God sake. I drove home like a maniac for this?

TELL THEM TO GO AWAY! :D

I know zero soccer fans...

MLS scored a flat 0.2 on ESPN, Kentucky Derby an 18.2...

MLS is not soccer.

Bad example.

As a Liverpool fan, that is a very depressing

Then what is it?

I'm pretty sure a freaking soccer announcer wouldn't know any horse racing fans either.

Comparing MLS to the Derby is equally ridiculous.

Only soccer that makes sense to me is for kids, I'll take football in high school over it anytime!

who cares about soccer. Soccer is huge worldwide, it is nothing here.

I can't recall the last time a soccer match made the front page of any major United States newspaper... while horse racing tends to at least once or twice a year.

Just gotta love ESPN.....now, that's what really sucks!

The hell difference does that make in terms of what sport has more fans?

I'm not disputing soccer on a worldwide scale, but on a US-base scale, I question its overall popularity, that's all.

very few of them speak english.

...

It's not wildly popular in the U.S., but it's easily more popular than horse racing, which is barely a blip on the national sports scene.

Whatever....it's over, still this is classic ESPN crap!

get this soccer sh1t off! noone cares about what a few douches have to say about soccer.

On second thought.................

Well, that's it, you won the argument. You're talking about front pages of newspapers, I'm talking about which sport has more fans and which fans are more likely to be watching their show..

I do like Soccer mom's though, they seems pretty fun sometimes

Put these soccer morons on another channel:mad:

Now the post game show????

I will say Seamus Malin is one of the best color commentators of any sport out there. Grew up watching him work the Cosmos games.

Oh cool...now they're gonna show the highlightZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Un-friggin real.

Take a walk on the backstretch sometime and take a poll. :eek:

The only good thing about the sport :D

This typical ESPN......thoroughbred racing has NEVER been a priority.

actually, the girls', I mean women's, soccer team when I was in college was not that shabby...

This is one of my favorite Monty Python clips,
