    Default When can we use "as far as I'm concerned"?

    Hello:D

    I want to know some special condition for using this.

    When someone's opinion differ from me, and when someone's opinion is the same from me, can I use it?


    EX) 1. Disagree
    A: Soccer is a good game.
    B: No, as far as I'm concerned, soccer is a very demanding sports that make tire us after doing it.

    2. Agree
    A: Soccer is a good game.
    B: Yes, as far as I'm concerned, soccer is really fun to kick a ball to the goal.

    mokbon.
    Both these examples are OK, although they need a little correcting.
    The comma after "concerned" is often left out and I'm not sure which is considered the more correct form.

    1. Disagree
    A: Soccer is a good game.
    B: No, as far as I'm concerned, soccer is a very demanding sport that makes us tired after doing it.

    2. Agree
    A: Soccer is a good game.
    B: Yes, as far as I'm concerned, it's really fun to kick a ball into the goal.
    or
    B: Yes, as far as I'm concerned, soccer is really fun because I like to kick a ball into the goal.
