Every time I read the thread title I start LOL...its funny how he put it.

First of all I am not attacking soccer. I guess I made a mistake throwing a rib out there in the thread title but there was no mal content behind it. It's a Plant needs to stop stressing, and making outrageous allegations. I know it's hard to pick up over the internet but sarcasm can still be used on these public forums, I think you know where I was being sarcastic and where I wasn't, atleast I hope your that smart.

All I have to say about the working out thing is take a look at that picture of Beckham in that milk ad, he looks mal nourished and famined. Take a look at a cornerback or receiver in the NFL(similar style athlete) they are jacked.

For the endurance thing, get over it, if I wanna see endurance i'll watch the Boston Marathon. Watching dudes run up and down a field for 90+ minutes just doesn't intrigue me. For the same reason I don't watch baseball unless the indians are doing good or it's a good playoff/world series game. It just bores me. I played soccer in elementary school, I kept getting red cards because I was "too physical". Halfbacks, full backs, wing men, I get the game, it just doesn't get me too hyped up. It's ok, I am allowed to have that opinion without the soccer-nazi's coming out of the wordwork to attack me and my credibility.

By the way, College football is where it is at. Nothing beats the pomp and atmosphere of a big time college football game, there is nothing like it that draws out that kind of passion in people. Having said that, nothing beats watching the pure talent and skill these guys in the nfl have, it just gets to me how every fucking thing has a fucking plug or alterior motive behind it. It is starting to invade college football more and more now too which I hate. Papa Johns stadium...? How the fuck do you name your field after Papa Johns?!?! I think louisville is a good upstart program but they lose credibility with that one. What would happen if they tried to rename Ohio Stadium Huntington Field, or the big house Ford Stadium. People would go ape shit.

That's cool you play soccer, but this thread wasn't about soccer hating it was about football loving, so I am glad that one fruity dude(no offense) started his own thread where you guys can talk about soccer and we can discuss the most visceral game on earth here instead of debating the merits of soccer and football, which was fun for a minute but is kind of played out and getting repetative now.

For that reason alone, one MUST have a lung capacity that can break records. And endurance is a large part of what an athlete must have. Being able to bench 700lbs does little for your body, also. You're better off doing pushups. Bench is a very unnecessary lift, just so you know.

I doubt you can bench 700 pounds and I will tell you I can't. I used to squat 650 in high school and college but to say that benching 700 pounds does nothing for your body is a ridiculous claim. Spend the next 3, 5 maybe 7 or 10 years working out daily and dieting and eating right to get to the point that you can bench press 700 pounds. You will recant that statement. Bench press involves all the major muscle groups of the upper body. It involves your forearms, you have to stabilize your wrists to move that much weight. It also involves both your triceps and biceps. The biceps are used to keep your elbows from folding backwards if you don't see it and your triceps to actually push the weight upward off your chest. Shoulders are involve because the pecs insert into the arm with the deltoids. The deltoids help pull your arms back towards your sternum. The Latissimus Dorsi and trapezius help stabilize the shoulder blades and also help pull the shoulders toward the sternum. There are even muscles in between the cartilage in the rib cage that are involved in a bench press. The muscles of your lower back and abdomen come into play to stabilize the pelvis so you don't come off the bench. Finally, the Pectoralis major and minor are the main muscles involved in pulling your arms from the parallel position the humerus should be in compared to the floor to the perpendicular position they should end in.

People are calling you a hater so I took my time to point out the flaws in one of your arguments. If you don't think bench pressing 700 pounds is impressive and these muscle groups are useful, go down to your local gym and pick a fight with someone who can bench 700 pounds.

Lung capacity? Have you ever seen the human specimen know as Terrill Owens? He is built like a brick shithouse and when he is not on the field, he usually jumps on an exercise bike. Seems to be working since he is one of the best wide receivers in the game. How about Jerry Rice? His routine involves running uphill for miles while dragging tires behind him on a rope. He also loves to run up stadium stairs. What did that get him? About 200 career touchdowns. I could go on and on about some of the NFL's prime athelets but why? This thread is about the appreciation of football and not the hatred of soccer.

gators r the best damn team in the country

[bucknuts1870]

Ahh finally, a gator fan. How do you think the game goes down, seriously now, don't be a homer?

I seriously think it is going to be a blow out, something like 44-17. It's going to be a lot of Beanie and Pittman with a lil' bit o' Gonzo and Ginn Sprinkled in for good measure, might even throw Troy a bone and get him a nice scramble for a touchdown maybe. Sorry, but position for position you guys just don't match up that well.

Having said all that, there is still a chance. Ohio State pulled it off in '02, but the only difference there is we were undefeated. You got beat by a mediocre Auburn team with no ability to pass the football. You have a good defense but your offense seems to stall at times and trip over it's own feet. I think Chris Leak makes too many dumb mistakes for a 4 year starter and Tebow is the future but he is not there yet.

fuck them pussy games, try hurling on for size.

I love college "american football"
NFL is alright, but it's not as fun to watch in stadiums.
college football is hella fun to watch in stadiums. partly because i'm still in college.

but.

I'll watch the World Cup for the "REAL FOOTBALL"
anyday over any superbowl or college championships.
Even if I get the best seats on the stadium.

I have few theories on why Americans are the only country in the world that doesn't like soccer.
1. they don't really have a team to cheer for.
2. their team isn't the best in the world, and they're not used to it.
3. In America, soccer is played as toddlers as the "friendly sport" when everywhere else, it gets competitive and everyone plays it during childhood.
4. For being the fattest country in the world and for being the home of fast foods, I don't think they like the fact that of running for 90 min. straight with only 3 substitutes during the whole game. While American Football takes a break on every down.

no reason to yell at me, I won't be coming back to this thread
peace!
