Soccer Know Your Roll

Again, I love American Football, but calling it a man's sport because you hit people is stupid... YOU WEAR FUCKING PADS AND HELMETS!!!

Play Rugby at least.

hey, all that shit you are posting lately just makes me see 1 thing: you are trying to be recognized as "the ugly redneck kid who hates soccer" at the next conference. congratulations!

Ugly sure, redneck not. But hey, the last time I cared what some European douche bag thought about me was, never.
 
Soccer, soccer, soccer (football)...let's see...

a) Low scoring.
b) Gigantic field.
c) Too much booting the ball as far away from you as possible, chase it, other team just boots it/headbutts it back in the other direction.
d) Shootouts are hilarious. It's a fucking guessing game.
e) Take as many falls as possible to draw yellow/red cards.
f) The only way you can take someone out is by tripping them.

American football...

a) Different concise plays are run at specific times for specific strategies.
b) Combination of running AND throwing AND kicking the ball (egg).
c) Tackling.
d) Each play builds up a level of excitement. There's excitement a few times per game in soccer when somebody finally gets a shot on goal.
e) No senselessness of just booting the ball as far as possible from the opponent's scoring zone. You can't throw a bomb in football every time like you can bomb a soccer ball 100x a game.

I don't know how you can say soccer is a better sport. Soccer has many more fans because it's much more global. It's an easier sport. Anybody when they're a kid can put a ball on the ground and kick it around/enjoy it. Maybe you like soccer more, but it's not a better sport.

American football takes more strength, skill, and smarts. Not to say that soccer doesn't have it's talented players that can do amazing things with the ball. Football does too though. And it's much more exciting.

I guess I'm just a meathead.

Your retarded for even saying that one sport can be objectively better than another.

EDIT: And by easier do you mean easier to play?

Sure it may be easier to play, but I'd say that NFL is much easier to play at the highest competitive level. The competition in footbal (soccer) is undeniably rivalled by no other sport.
 
EDIT: And by easier do you mean easier to play?

I mean easy to like and follow because it's easy to play and doesn't require much (ie a kid living in the slums of Africa would find a soccer ball much more fun than being given just a football to play with by himself).

It certainly has it's followers in Europe which has other sports, but whenever I see clips of kids in poor countries (through those commercials, looking at children to sponsor, etc), they always seem to be kicking a soccer ball around. I think that's one of the reasons that soccer is "easier" to like and would make sense that it would be the world's biggest sport.

^^The whole point of that being, soccer wouldn't be considered the "best" sport just because it has the most fans.

This thread is seriously fucking depressing, you are all feeding into Rage9's bait, he wants a bit of drama; the main issue here is that Rage9 and others are trying to argue against a sport that is far more popular than their own 'high voltage wow look at this high score' crap.

American football is a disgrace, they get breaks every fucking move, fat people can play it, and it has no longevity because it goes from defence to offense all the time, with Soccer and most other sports that shit is combined, Americans are so shit that they cant manage to have both on the field at the same time, how lame.

I wasn't going to get involved because I knew the result would be exactly this, Rage9 trying to show his cock is bigger than europeans, you know what nobody gives a fuck, take your stupid padded shit off and play a real game you pussys.

And if any of you stupid cunts wants to argue that you need those pads come over to ireland and play abit of gaelic football.

What a load of shit. I wasn't going to get involved either because obviously people are passionate about different sports. I also have respect for any kind of athlete that can compete on some level beyond high school. That includes soccer players. They are great athletes being able to run around most of the game like that. But, just like every other sport there are things called substitutions. This happens in every sport pretty much at some level or another. Hockey has line changes and basketball has bench players to give the starters a break.

I have played all kinds of sports including soccer (even though it was when I was younger) and football was by far the most grueling. I played 9 man football instead of the usual 11 because I went to a really small school. Which meant we didn't have backups for most positions. So, most of us played ironman football. Which is playing offense and defense. Which means I was in on almost every play. Sure, we wear pads. That shit adds a lot of weight and is really easy to overheat in. Running laps in full pads vs. running laps in basketball with shorts on was a complete night and day difference. Ironman happens a lot in high school. But in college players are competing at a higher level and highly specialized as in the pros. They are too valuable to the team to play the entire game on every down.

You see football is a different kind of workout. It is hard to explain if you have never played but it drains your ass. By the end of most games I was ready to keel over from exhaustion. Its called leaving it all on the field.

And your stupid pads comment makes no sense. If football players didn't wear pads people would literally die. That means lawsuits in high school and college. And in the pros I don't see that happening when you are paying players millions of dollars and they are bringing in millions of dollars. They already get hurt all the time. Take off the pads and no one would be left standing for the whole season.
 
How is that ironic ubercamp? Indulge me.

Well what do you mean when you say 'pussy'? As in the actual definition, "a weak or cowardly man or boy"?

If I wasn't mistaken, it is football (soccer) that is a no/low contact sport. If I'm also not mistaken, soccer players take dives any chance they get and pretend to be hurt, only to get up and resume playing a second later (yes that is an exaggeration, but it happens MUCH more than in American football) .

Last time I checked football is a full contact sport that has some of the most athletic and physical people in the world. Soccer players can run, handle a ball with their feet and heads. Football players can run, handle a ball with their feet and hands, jump, tackle, and get physical. No slide tackle video you show will ever be less pussy than American football highlight reels.

If you have to choose which is more of a pussy sport between soccer and American football, I hope you can back it up.

To you, soccer may require more skill and has a higher "level of competition", but compared to football it is a pussy sport. Put 10 soccer players against 10 American football players and we'll see who the weak and cowardly ones are.

For a start, your talking about soccer players playing american football, which most Soccer players could compete in, i.e catch a ball and run. Whereas put american football players into a soccer match and their lost, they have no skill, they are told what to do.

My pussy comment was with regards to the sport I play, Gaelic football, get 15 of your biggest toughest 'men' and put them on a gaelic field, they'll be battered black and blue. Take the fucking pads off and american 'football' might gain abit of respect, not sure if you know it but the rest of the world is laughing at your shitty commercialised, ad every 5 minutes sport. How sad that you actually try to defend it. HA.

I actually hated soccer, but I heard hannity talking about how he's probably the world's biggest fan and now i am too

What terrible news! Heaven forbid the 'rest of the world' disapprove of whatever particular action we take! How I wish I could have a hive mentality like that! Please, can you tell us poor ignoramuses what are 'approved' sports that we will not be laughed at for? The opinion of those brave and successful Europeans is our number one priority, after all!
