WAT. Almost no one under 30 in America who grew up in the suburbs and had working legs DIDN'T play soccer as a kid. I have a cohesive group of friends who were all born in the USA and love the game.

You're stupid and I hate you.

I hate you too, stupid.

I know it's gaining in popularity, but I still think it's the most underrated sport here (and there). UNtil it is the most revered game in the land, it will be underrated, in my eyes.

Made somewhat famous in the 80s thanks to the opening credits of this TV show:

and this has to do with the thread subject how so?
btw, in ireland and australia it's also called soccer... so not only are you in the wrong thread your statement is also wrong.

As usual, I must apologize that I did not spell this out more completely, for the slower kids in the class.

Just out of curiosity, what did you think I meant, that made you think it was in the wrong thread?

america and can'tada aren't the only places that call it soccer, i grew up calling it soccer and i'm certainly not from north america. typical narrow mindedness from yourself.

it probably is underrated in north america (viewing if not competing) but that's beside the point.

Soccer isn't under-rated at all.

Here are sports that I love that get barely any love:

Dodgeball
Capture the Flag
Handball

The world's most popular sport is UNDERrated? Mmkay, gotcha.

I'd say dodgeball as well.

Trolling.

Have to agree with you 100%.
I love dodgeball to the max and would die a happy man if it was made an Olympic sport (not that it seems possible but still).

Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate fucking frisbee.

Although it's not really "underrated" because you see it all the time around university.

globally of course not but in each individual country it can be. india for example, 500 million people who couldn't give a toss about the game.

i'm not derailing this thread, you post a thread about underrated games and someone says soccer we're going to talk about it.

no, i'm sure every few indians care about ultimate frisbee but it isn't the most popular sport in the world so hardly underrated because no one likes it. they've tried to bring soccer into india but it's just not happening, ergo it's underrated.

Rugby... Ive played it for the last 12 years. It really is the best sport in the world.

Nothing like hitting, punching, kicking, biting, and then watching a nice game break out.

I don't find it too underrated, at least not in Hong Kong.

Hockey, dodgeball

snow ball fights

I got to play on a select side US team in a Caribbean tourni when I was younger.. there was a tough ass hong kong team there. We didnt get to play them but I watched them. Not really fast or strong but solid all around.

In my country its F-1.

Worldwide its college football.

throw in another vote for curling. I discovered it during the recent winter olympics. It's actually pretty fun to watch.

Cricket.

The world would be a better place if more people played cricket.

1-It has breaks for meals.
2-The Kent County Cricket Club has a tree in it but nobody minds.
3-England are quite good at it.
4-The position names
Square leg, fine leg, silly mid on, deep extra cover, slips, gully and third men.
5-shots played and bowling names
Leg breaks, googlies, sweeps, beamers, maidens, flippers and yorkers.
6-It can take 5 days to play some games.
7-You don't need to be that fit to play it.
8-Nobody takes it too seriously.

I thought Formula 1 was the most watched sport in the world.
Never saw the appeal in it myself.

I dont think cricket is under rated, but then i dont like it.

I reckon Basketball is underrated. It gets loads of attention in America but not so much anywhere else and i love the game. Though i think the rules about contact should be eased off. In fact, i think Kung Fu basket ball is under rated!
