I didn't..

I really don't care much for sports..:p




It's just the principal.. Football is what's going on in Europe, and that's that.

The pioneers couldn't sow a real football, so it became oval.. roflol:p jk





I watch when I'm drinking, football is soooo great then! Especially if you're at the match..:D

You people don't get it. Ohio State is number one so bucknuts1870 has a real hard on right now. I mean what else is he going to do in that neck of the woods besides go to a club and do some hogging?

Too bad Florida will end the Buckeyes ride. Wonder if the OSU coach will sucker punch an opposing player again? btw - The bit Belushi did on SNL as Woody Hayes playing his wife in chess was hilarious.

It's a Plant:

-European football (referred to as Football for the rest of this post) requires no suit of armor to play. What's with the pads tough guys?

Alright, soccer requires no pads because it is illegal to hit the opposing player, tackle him, block him, basically touch him. Have you ever taken a physics course in your life ever? A 240 lb linebacker running at a speed of 15 miles per hour collides with a 225 lb running back travelling at a speed of 17 miles per hour. What is the amount of force upon impact???? NFL hits can be compared to car accidents. "A big NFL hit, with the offense and defense both moving about 10 meters a second, adds up to about 9,000 newtons of force." - Dr. Tim Gay.

-Compared to american football, Football is 90 minutes of excitement, where as the NFL and alike leagues have about 10 seconds of action followed by a minute or two of stoppage. YAWN.

It is called, Strategy. Football is a war. You attack, you defend, everything about the sport resembles war. The coach is the general, and the qb is the field commander. You can strike through the air, or on the ground. You run plays like a general would enact different maneuvers. You need time to disect what the enemy is doing and figure out what the best way to attack his weakness is. Football is 85% mental, have you seen the size of these playbooks, or the different variations of defensive schemes? Football is eleven people working as one to acheive a common goal. What a great game.

Which leads me to your question, "who has the better athletes?"

Football players can run circles around players in the NFL. Literally. The average per game is something like SIX miles run. Footballers are far more fit, and honestly, some of the speedy studs like Christiano Ronaldo might give some of those flashy American sprinters a run for their money. They basically sprint for 90 min. Can any NFL stud do that?

Jerry Rice. He used to train by sprinting up mountains in the bay area. Do soccer players even work out? They all look like Christian Bale from The Machinist. Most if not all of the skill position players in the NFL could run down, catch, and crush any one or more soccer players. They are just bigger, faster, and stronger plain and simple and there is no denying it. I have never seen a soccer player bench over 700lbs have you?

That's all I've got the energy for now, but please remember that it's a FACT that 100 million+ people love Football around the world. Now quit trying to pull something out of nothing =)

The only thing i'm pullin' is my pud. That is about the only fact you have, it is more popular throughout the world even though we still have it in the USA and it doesn't get a second thought by anyone besides soccer players. Shit you could say the same thing for meth, it's popular here, but much more popular in Asia. Does that mean I need to like it? We're not sheep, we don't follow some boring, un-exciting, mind numbing, long, and drawn out game when we have four or five much more exciting, interesting, and athletic games.

And for the bitter Michigan fan or Ohio State hater whichever he is. Would you like to lay down some jack where your mouth is runnin'? I didn't think so, save a miracle OSU hands Florida an ass kicking on the likes of the one Miami handed Nebraska back in '01. Charlie Bauman deserved to get slapped like a little bitch. Jim Tressel is too cool to ever punch somebody, have you seen this guy coach? He barely raises an eyebrow after a Michigan victory. Let alone lose his temper.

Sorry but the only exciting thing about soccer is the fans, they are more fun to watch than the game. They should just show the brawls with color commentary by other drunken fans instead of the game. LOL, it's the only way soccer gets on Sports Center.

That is the absolute worst summary why soccer is better than football. LOL! Excitement?!? (Maybe to play, but sure as HELL not to watch) Get outta here...I think (and really hope) that you got this backwards. Seriously, have you ever yawned during an NFL game? I really doubt it (unless your a flamboyant figure skater sportin a pink tu-tu, then maybe I can understand).

Patriots :pimp:
