I'm not a big soccer fan, but this is pretty funny, and the music to go along with it rules.

Soccer is a fun sport, but nothing more. I'm argentinian and should be crazy about it... (my whole country is) but it's a very simple game. I really don't understand why it's so popular.
That said, they do some fun things when they score. Pretty cool vid.

It doesn't have the Latvian celebration when they scored to beat Turkey in the final qualifier for Euro 2004.

That was the most memorable soccer celebration ever.

Even if you only include Americans who are not Mexicans or any other foreign origin, it will still be popular... but not as popular as with a poll among non-americans.

Wow, you must really be in the minority there.

People of Argentina redefine craziness when it comes to soccer. I have never encountered a more passionate set of fans in any other sport anywhere in the world.

And your country certainly has the most beautiful women fans in any sport

, when I tell people I like american football instead of soccer they almost want to hit me. There are VERY few people who don't like soccer here.

And yes... soccer fans are definitely CRAZY, especially here. But damn, we could use some argentine fire in the stands of Mile High... THAT would be home field advantage!

American sports fans would rather sit down and tell you to sit down too.

American fans are boring (except for American soccer fans...thats another story).

Soccer is the most populated sport in America until the High School age strata. Part of the reason is that there is no soccer in American junior highs...you have to go outside of the school district to club ball to be able to continue your soccer career. Not everyone can do that.

The next generation of Americans will have a different sports environment growing up. With the influx of Mexicans into the South and Southwest, I would expect to see some serious shifting in popular sports in the region. Texas is now creeping toward a Mexican/Latino majority. How strange would it be to see American football take a backseat to soccer in Texas? Cue the twighlight zone music...

I've been told to sit down already , at the Broncos game I attended. I was screaming like crazy, even though I was the only Broncos fan in the area... and some lady told me to quiet down. That DOESN'T happen here. In some stadiums there are sections where if you don't sing and scream, they throw you out!!
But anyway, people take things too far in Argentina sometimes. Even I can't understand it.
In soccer, fans of rival teams HATE each other. And I mean HATE, not like we hate Bob, but really hate... It's just a game after all.

Yes, on my previous job, I had to go to Buenos Aires on work twice. But I found time to visit Mar Del Plata and also go to a Boca Juniors - River Plate soccer game. The rivalry between those fans would make the Broncos-Raiders rivalry seem like a sissy spat.

I really want to visit Argentina again on a longer vacation and explore the Patagonia, hopefully during the soccer season. And savor the best steaks in the world in their Parrillas. And learn to tango.

That's great to know! I hope you enjoyed your trip here. I just recently came back from Mar del Plata, my family has a house there. I love that city.

The Boca - River rivalry is... well... like nothing else in the world of sports.
I hope you come back and visit the south of the country. The Patagonia, and Bariloche are amazing...

It's not just a game in most places. It represents regional pride and bragging rights. In america, sports franchises used to be run by the employers of a community, hence the name Green Bay "Packers" or Pittsburgh "Steelers". Those teams were representative of the communities that worked in those factories. There were plants and mills all over the country with self-sustained communities that had baseball teams or football teams, etc. Back in those days I would think that the rivalries could be every bit as intense if they were held on the large scale that most footballing countries hold their matches.

Definitely!

It's a very beautiful and intriguing country.

If I ever strike it rich, I might just move to Mar Del Plata and get a house on the sea and eat steaks and sea food for the rest of my life.

Infact, a former colleague of mine had to visit Buenos Aires on business several times, and he liked the place so much that he quit his job, moved there and opened a restaurant

Also, here in America, going to a game is a social event, akin to going to a concert or something. I mean its marketed as a family event. You could take your family to a game and tailgate and have fun. You could take business clients to a game too.

In Argentina, going to a soccer game is like going to a bar, or a frat party, where you lose your senses for a while, transcend into an alternate universe and have the best few hours of your life. It's a hallucinating experience and I am not exaggerating.

Soccer games in Europe are full of hardcore fans too, especially England or Italy, but Argentina trumps them. I have never been to Brazil, so I don't know how that compares.

Don't care how rabid they are. They can keep the game for all I care.
