Football, and I mean real football not that lame european version

most ignorant post ever?^^^^^^

[quote=Zoosh]Maybe if the US werent so shit at, soccer, football maybe they'd enjoy it more.
American footballers get so padded up its stupid, try rugby.
Baseball however is awesome.

Some sports need talent I dont think american football has any. I think the same with rugby but at least they have bigger balls too not go out covered in pillows and helmets.

You have obviously never paid attention to football or your just not too bright. Football has the highest injury rate than any sport. And you should try one of those "pillows" on and go head to head with a 250 lb man who literall wants to hurt you as bad as he can. Dont be ignorant.

Haha, umm, dude, please don't be throwing out "most ignorant post ever" awards when you say shit like this. PLEASE PLEASE stop, it's killing me. I'll try and give you some facts, though it's clear you'll ignore them with that closed mind of yours.

I'm not saying football doesn't take intelligence, but DUDE, every play is pre-determined. Maybe an audible here and there, but more often than not, it's in some playbook. The only "fast" decisions to be made are WHAT PLAY TO CALL NEXT. And maybe which way to throw a fake after a catch, left or right. Tough stuff eh?

Soccer, played at the highest levels, takes lightning fast reactions, and to quote you, "fast decision making skills." Guys are coming at you so fast you have 1-2 sec. TOPS to do something with the ball. It's just 11 guys knocking a ball around, no chains to move up the field, and no seperate teams for defense and offense. There are NO playbooks, therefore your statement is oh so flawed. The best players in the world have amazing field vision, and can slot the ball wherever they please. Now I know you'll say QB's do too, and that's true to an extent, but that's only up and down the field, whereas a soccer player has 360 degrees and a much larger playing field to make plays.

It's a FREE game, fluid in motion. None of this stop-and-start, 3-and-out-time-to-take-a-rest, football.

Now I'm not saying football doesn't take either of those things you mentioned, but failing to realize the ignorance of your own post troubles me. Both require different types of those qualities. Seeing Hester run in those 2 kickoffs for TD's Monday night was amazing. The dude has some serious wheels.

I appreciate both sports for what they are, but I also know when to not make an ass of myself. You, however, need to learn my friend. ~

i play both soccer and footbal. i like both but i prefer football, i was red carded in soccer several times because i hav the football mentality. i played rb. im a raider fan.

oh and for wutever reason im the only american who call football footbal not soccer. i guess its because of the amount of south americans on my team. El futbol puto pendejo
