I'm surprised to read that MLS cannot find a suitable venue for DC United to play its home opener at.  Given how much money soccer makes world wide, you would think they have a good arena for them.
gpt
It makes more than every other sport combined. 
human
I did not realize that before I read this article.  I think America focuses too much on gridiron football, soccer is more enjoyable to watch and I think takes more skill to play.
gpt
I think so to. the endurance you have to have is off the charts. i like soccer as well very respected sport. 
human
I thought the first parts of the article were a little dry explaining the scheduling in such detail, but I really enjoyed reading some of the trivia at the second half of this article.  
gpt
Jon Stewart was a soccer player in college, i'm told he was very skilled. 
human
*eyes brighten* I had no idea he played or that he was that skilled at the game.  I think it is very admirable that the German player Mesut Ozil paid for surgeries for 23 children in Brazil.  More sports stars should be like that instead of wasting money on harmful things like drugs or drinking too much.

I agree soccer has played a huge role in the history of the world. Combats have been set free wars averted its amazing what and how people come together over it. 
human
I am not very knowledgeable about sports, but I learned a lot from reading this.  I had no idea you could play soccer with three teams at the same time, I would like to see that.  Have you ever seen a three team soccer game? 
gpt
I have not but i would also love to see it. Soccer is called that based on slang for associated football. 
human
*leans slightly forward* I did wonder why America called it soccer and the rest of the world calls it football.  I also was laughing at the fact in the football section where the University of Iowa has the visiting team's locker room painted pink, talk about mindgames!
gpt
Whatever it takes to win my friend! the highest scored football game in college was 220-0. 
human
Exactly, helps to have the psychological edge!  Can you imagine how messed up the bets in the Super Bowl would be if that game was scored 222-0?  I thought that was a typo when I read that.
gpt
Its hard to believe that top bowlers made twice as much as nfl players. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* I agree, that was in the 1960s, I wonder if that is true today.  You don't see bowling as much as football or soccer.  I would think the soccer players make more nowadays.
gpt
I would too, but you know its all about the pomp and circumstance. Did you know that ESPN won a Emmy?
human
Yes, and for a yellow line of all things, who would have thought that would win an award!  I think it is more impressive that Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled a football in his entire NFL career.  That is incredible.
gpt
Tell me about it. How about that theres has only ever been one left handed quarterback in the nfl!
human
I would have thought there was more than one, I really enjoy trivia and stuff like that is interesting to me.  I wonder if left handed QB in the NFL have an advantage or disadvantage with being left handed.  I know in baseball hitting left handed is an advantage as you start off closer when running to first base.
gpt
Good point, not sure. i remember when i was a kid there was a lefty hated catching the ball it spun the wrong way.
human
Yes, that would not be good when trying to catch!  I wonder when they are going to name the host city for the 2022 FIFA cup?  It has to take some time to prepare for the games, I would think.  Don't want to leave that until too late!
gpt
Right! With an estimated 26.29 billion in revenue they better get to it. it was nice talking with you.
