Desperately trying to troll are we? You got tired of trolling the MMA section so you turned to this one instead?

Dana would never make that comment in Brazil but I'm sure Canadians appreciated that he said hockey takes a lot more talent than soccer. Tough to criticize Dana, he's trying to push a sport into the mainstream with the argument that it is far more exciting than other sports out there.

Everything he said has a counter argument anyways: World Cup is gigantic, indoor soccer games can have 20 or 30 goals a game and there is an obvious hierarchy of talent in soccer

There are some amazing technical athletes in soccer...

Think soccer and baseball fall into the same category for me. Bunch of ok guys with one or two real ballers on most teams. Generally the game drags if you dont have an aquired taste for said sport. I can tollerate both but do go out of my way to watch either except on the rare occasion of a decent pitching match up or if my Sox are playing NY. But I kind of do agree with Dana. Heck half the time guys are just standing in a field. Actually had more respect for there cardio before I really started to watch it. There about as skilled as a marathon runner....and I dont watch marathons so.....

There are no "ok guys" in any good or even decent team. The competition is so hard and the players so many all over the world you have to be extremely good to play in one of the big leagues. The superstars are just freaks of nature (who also has practised several hours every day since they learned how to walk). Dana's comments are just stupid.

Probably one of the most amazing things i have ever seen in sports right here... Id put a rather large bet that not a single NFL quarterback could do this, using obviously his arm/hand... Soccer players are definitely not talented what so ever.

Skip to exactly 1:00 and watch from there.. Mind = Blown

Hehe, in case you don't know that video is fake. It's a commercial for Nike.

This was one of many of the Joga Bonito series for the 2006 World Cup, and it is not fake. This was a challenge sent to fellow Brazilian striker, Ronaldo, in which he answers with this...
