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

[le vallette]

football or soccer as you Americans call it is a bloody good sport unlike your American football that stops every second so the players can get a rest since they are all overwieght.
huffing puffing.
as for the rules well throw the ball a couple of yards on have a group hug .
now soccer there you can see talent as poetry in motion.
plus you are only enviuos because your south American cousins are better at soccer than you are.:smokin:

Overweight are you dumb? football players are in the best possible shape anyone could be in except the offensive line.

Been playing football for about 4 years now, play guard and DT at university level.

Most of the comments you get from Brits talking about football is that its boring being too stop start and that its rugby for nancies. But the breaks allow for a much deeper strategic element and as for wearing pads, it means you can hit harder. I'd describe rugby as a contact sport while football is an impact sport.

As for my team I'm a die hard Raider, just a shame about this year. Still with this years D and hopefully some pickups for the offensive line, some coaching changes and a decent draft I'm hopeful we might get towards a .500 season next year.

Saints dont need any BandWagon fans..

I love LSU football, and the Saints now that they are having a winning season. I also love the colts because of Manning. I follow most of the SEC, it is the best conference but always pull for LSU over any other SEC team.

I used to play football in high school as a linebacker but never actually got to get on the field in highschool. The guy above me on the depthchart's mom was fucking the coach (no lie.)

I was actually good at one point, but I didn't feel like doing all the work for 2nd string and the other two backers were better than me so no chance in beating them out. I didn't feel like working to hard when chances were I would be on second string, so I quit before my junior season.

I loved little league though and still play NCAA Football on the PS2.

Dude, if you haven't noticed we don't give two fucks about soccer. We have football, basketball, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, and the alternative sports like skateboarding, wakeboarding, etc, and many others that are much more popular. There is a reason most kids play soccer in kindergarten and 1st grade and even 2nd grade. Because it is the only sport they are coordinated enough to play. Once you get to 2nd grade you can enter pee-wee football, and start hittin' people. Football is a collision sport, basketball is a contact sport. Football is a lesson in physics.

The truth is a soccer player wouldn't last a day in the league. It is not because he doesn't know the game either, it's because they are far superior athletes. Antonio Gates played basketball in college not football, but he is such a good athlete he got put at tight end, learned the system, and is arguably the best in the league at his position. Football takes a high intelligence and fast decision making skills. Soccer takes....does it take intelligence? There ain't too many rules, plays, formations, so idunno...

the pot continues to stir itself.

Oh yeah artard that thing you call a "rest" is the part of the game when they fucking call a play, damn your stupid.

how about them motherfucking SAINTS?!??

[The Big Easy]

Once upon a time I was an All-state D-End. I was a second team allstate Full-Back. The last time I played was in the state all-star game, called the Shrine Bowl. Unfortunatly I got hurt my senior year lost my scholarships and have never looked back at football. I cant even watch it really because some of the hits make me cringe. Ive thought about coaching someday, but we'll see.

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 know whats really good though pool and snooker.
