Why is real football better than American?

[fataman]

For once i wanna hear some AF smacktalk. I want to hear all the real football fans opinions about why is "soccer" better than "handegg"

[tomazas]

simple i mean how can u call football (i mean american football) when u use ur hands its foot+ball simple as that

Because they are real athletes not pussies all armored up in gear. You get hit in real football you feel it. Plus all the running they do ... an american player would pass out

LOL what you just said is laughable. I am personally a recreational soccer player and have never played football. There is WAY LESS contact in soccer than there is in football. I DONT CARE if the players are ARMORED UP in gear there still hitting each other! One its not even close the number of concussions or serious injuries in football compared to soccer (wonder why!?) And second half the contact in soccer is called by the referree and any time you do attempt contact the other player dives drawing the damn foul! AGAIN i love soccer but you gotta respect football at least in the CONTACT category, your far off here!
-and btw soccer players are def in better running shape/ have more stamina than football players but only bc there sport requires it, much like football requires you to be bigger. (i know there are some small football players, but lets be honest in general you need to be bigger to play!)

Maybe they should call it killthemanwiththeball

i do not agree , i think nFL is the best sport in the world

NO COMMERCIALS.

And I love both, but agree on the whole name thing. And claiming American football is for pussies is just ignorant. I'd take a 50-50 ball with Nemanja Vidic before I go heads with Patrick Willis.

I'd hate to get hit by an NFL lineman running full speed.

I'm not absolutely positive, but I think that soccer is the worst sport on the planet.

I tend to agree.. Not enough scoring, fields are to large and some of the rules are crazy..

Extra Time - We're not going to tell you how much, just that there is extra time!! (What?)
Penalty - There was a penalty called on a US player in the world cup awhile back, what was it for? (Oh they don't have to tell you)

Any sport where there is a "power play" and you can't even tell... OH MY its 18 against 17, THEY ARE ON A POWER PLAY.

And last but not least, 1/2 the players are WALKING 90% of the time.


Go ahead, flame away
