02:22 PM ET  08.03 | It is funny to listen to soccer haters. "There is no action" Coming from the country that embraces baseball, the world's slowest sport. Golf is more fun to watch on TV than baseball. Baseball has the most annoying announcers in history. "Everyone flops!" Like in the NBA. The NBA has more flops than in soccer. Coming from someone who played both sports, I always flopped in the paint in basketball. "Soccer is a wimp's sport!" Did you guys see Beckham's hit? He went flying in the air. Football is the only American sport comparable in contact. "Low scoring!" See baseball and Pistons basketball games. "The fans are to crazy!" Again, basketball. I remember a certain Pacers game which was just as bad as any recent soccer brawl in a European game. Someone was gonna be killed there. It was awful.

People like Jim Rome and THE TRUTH need to shut up. Watch the game, listen to the supporters. Here is a link to the best free kick specialist in the game. He is more talented than any football, baseball, or basketball player. His shots are amazing. I'm sure you guys won't have heard of him. He is on a great team who will compete in this year's UEFA, but the casual fan or hater won't of heard about him. I'm use to haters. I'm a Yankees and Notre Dame fan. But at least those guys make some sense. I don't hate any sport. They are all great. Here is the link. Watch the kick at 0:25. It is the best soccer shot I have seen besides the R. Carlos from pretty much a 0 degree angle.

Yep. Shunsuke Nakamura. The greatest Asian sports player ever. Hopefully he sticks around Celtic. Celtic will be a UEFA CL contender this year. With their midfielders and forwards, how couldn't they be?

Soccer haters are the stupidest haters in the world. At least ND and Yankee haters can be educated. Soccer haters know nothing. They insult the game while they embrace some of the more boring sports in this country. Soccer is a great sport. I am an American soccer geek.
