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.

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.
Soccer, soccer, soccer (football)...let's see...
I guess I'm just a meathead.
whatever the fuck you said
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!
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.
The competition in footbal (soccer) is undeniably rivalled by no other sport.
EDIT: And by easier do you mean easier to play?
take your stupid padded shit off and play a real game you pussys.
Now that is just a bit ironic.
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.
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.
