I tried to give soccer a chance, but…

For a large percentage of the world, soccer is the real football. It’s a lot easier to understand—you can figure it all out just by watching. I never did “get” American football, and I grew up there.

I LOVE today’s strip……hey, where’s the hockey puck? OK, or maybe the Lacrosse ball?

I could never get into football as I do American football and basketball.

@blunebottle I originally drew it with a crying hockey puck with the other balls, but there just wasn’t enough room. The lacrosse ball and dodgeball haven’t been invited out with the other balls for years.

Poor handegg. The football getting all the attention.

As a child I enjoyed playing soccer in gym class or at summer camp but have never taken it seriously as a pro spectator sport. These days with AYSO rivaling little league baseball and Pop Warner football, the popularity of pro soccer may be growing in USA but I doubt it’ll ever catch up to MLB, NFL, NBA or NHL in the USA. ☺

Hehehehe, this comic never ceases to amaze me!

I agree that this my sport versus your sport stuff is very unsportsmanlike, but don’t blame the poor Neandertals. They were a bunch of gentlemen compared with the thugs who have international riots over soccer….

Lol ….

Sorry, guys — it’s the most popular sport in the world.

Never got into any sports where the scores get stupidly hight, probably while I like ice hockey and the original football (ie soccer).

As for American football, far to any timeouts, also being a kiwi (NZ not the fruit), I prefer rugby where there’s less padding, and the games takes only the 80 minutes it’s suppose to.
