    I dont think you can learn Soccer by watching it, the game is all about technique, which you cant develop by sitting down.

    football/soccer is easy. the diversity of skills it requires is very low. Cricket requires skill.

    I suck at sport-my height was an advantage in basket ball and football (aussie rules-none of that padding rubbish like the american-nor shirt lifting insanity of soccor) but my poor reaction times and inability to get rough holds me back...


    But here is the strange part-unlike those sports which I USED to watch (before I..grew out of them, WTF) I learned netball in 45 seconds...



    Unlike basket ball, I used my brain, i had time to think-in my old school team we always won 11-0...



    Because of my stratagy (and insane ability to grab the ball whislt about to fall-think learning tower of piza but more leaning, dangerously..) they could almost never score...


    I'm aware it's a girls sport, but here's the thing-our school football team sucked, the so-called good players were jerks who picked on weakness, and the netball team only had 2 players in total who had to mix with other teams...


    Too weak to play rough, but prehaps a bit much to play netball XD


    The team consisted of mostly guys who were too weak to play football....and the 2 girls (not many girls in our school..sadly :( )


    As for learning, you gotta play it, I can't watch something and expect to know it-gotta try it as well-practice works as well-just like how schools work (by doing the same thing over and over, the repitition drums it in)...




    As what I play now-absolutly nothing-but what I gained hasn't wasted...

    I didn't say it doesnt require skill, I said the diversity of skills is very low, meaning you only need skill in very few areas.

    I don't understand cricket. :( It confuses me.

    Generally I am pretty crap at sports, but I used to be really good at Hocky, and I have a blue belt in Tae Kwon-Do.

    And I agree- you can pick up a bit from watching sports, but you've gotta get out and play it to really get it all worked out.

    kicking the ball around the field doesnt require much skill. you know what need skill? Pool aka Snooker, you think its easy to poke that stupid white ball around? think again.....
