@trollremix Don't bask in ignorance please, what kind of statement is this: Soccer is more of an endurance and finesse sport, but there isn't a single world class sprinter in professional Soccer. I'm not going to bother listing the names of world class sprinters in soccer but I do not understand how you can think a sport played by billions do not have world class sprinters, nothing but IGNORANCE!. . . How do you know James is stronger than anyone in professional soccerSome of these soccer guys are lean but STRONG as hell. You do not play for 90 minutes with tackles flying all over the place without being strong. Here is a question for you: If you like American Football so much, why don't you like rugby? They do the things NFL players do and the game is free flowing. They're allowed to pass, pop up and kick the ball into the goal and they do not wear helmets and protective gear only to come out pounding their chests. ottom lineathletically, Soccer dudes don't remotely compare to the guys in the NFL. And if you think about it. . . . How do you know this?. . .Did you measure the speed or jumping ability of any soccer player?. . .Real footballers do not care about those things because at the end of the day, it is a game of SKILL and TECHNIQUE which is why people appreciate it. I want to see skill, teamwork, cohesiveness, a free flowing game, FIT and not FAT individuals. To execute an overhead kick, the run and stop on the dime, to have exquisite body control, that is definitely athleticism. Look at the 2-time NBA MVP, Steve Nash, he will always tell you his sweet game is attributed to his soccer background. If I want to see people hit each other, I'll watch boxing or rugby, atleast they do not stop the game after every 3 seconds. They also do not wear protective gear and start acting tough. Lest I forget, what kind of game requires 2 teams to play it? |

Football is what you kick with your foot not hand. Handball is what you throw with your hand not foot.
Beckham cannot turn MLS around because Americans simply don't like soccer. Its a full 45 minute of play game with no commercials. Unlike NFL where there are interruptions for commercials. Corporate America will not buy ad spots. NFL games last for over 3hours even though each quarter is for 15 mins, commercials will stretch it to about 45minutes. NFL is purely for entertainment like Wrestling. Any obese guy can play in NFL, while it takes skills and flair to play soccer .Have U ever tried doing some chores with your legs instead of hands? Boy it’s impossible. So, what NFL guys do with their hands is what real football players do with their feet. Who is better?
Americans like high scoring games. A point in NFL is upped to 6 points with a point for field goal while a goal is a goal in soccer .It could also be done in soccer, but its not for entertainment like magic. Americans are very individualistic, so they don't like to share victory- they cannot play a game where there is no winner, as in soccer- (1-1) draw. Besides, America is opposite of British- does not want to be associated with British traditions: baseball as against cricket, American football as against rugby, Episcopal Church=Anglican, electric switch is upside down. Let’s remember they incorporate their military might in everything they do, they use draft, offense and defense in NFL. NFL is for muscular athletes with fewer skills. NFL is a game of speed and collision, while soccer is a game of contact and skills. SO many differences.

Hmm. so much confusion about the NFL. How do we decipher it?
I know! Let's ask Chris Rock!!
Chris Rock says "The White americans raised the biggest house slaves to do sport for them! That's why they call it the NFL. Stands for Nigga Fcuking Large!"
don't know if i agree with him or not, but we got these monstrous, steroid enhanced guys racing all over the field. These guys spend years huddling together and planning and very little time actually doing stuff! Soccer FTW!

I prefer American football to soccer. Soccer is all about kcicking a ball around and nothing else.
I would like to liken it to rugby. Where men sove and push each other around. Boy, that gives me the kick.
However, I'm still a gunner for life!

Don't bask in ignorance please, what kind of statement is this:
Did you see the ignorant post that LoverBwoy made on #95? Can you even count the # of ignorant posts that these Soccer homers have been made throughout the thread? Maybe I exaggerated a little, claiming they're no world class sprinters, but that was out of the ignorant garbage these Soccer homers were spewing. How do you know James is stronger than anyone in professional soccerSome of these soccer guys are lean but STRONG as hell. You do not play for 90 minutes with tackles flying all over the place without being strong.
Should I bring out the #'s again? None of these Soccer player are even remotely as strong as LeBron. Lets not make pathetic statements, now. Here is a question for you:
If you like American Football so much, why don't you like rugby? They do the things NFL players do and the game is free flowing. They're allowed to pass, pop up and kick the ball into the goal and they do not wear helmets and protective gear only to come out pounding their chests.
I already stated in this thread that I love Rugby in post #88. OWNEDHow do you know this?. . .Did you measure the speed or jumping ability of any soccer player?. . .Real footballers do not care about those things because at the end of the day, it is a game of SKILL and TECHNIQUE which is why people appreciate it. I want to see skill, teamwork, cohesiveness, a free flowing game, FIT and not FAT individuals. To execute an overhead kick, the run and stop on the dime, to have exquisite body control, that is definitely athleticism. Look at the 2-time NBA MVP, Steve Nash, he will always tell you his sweet game is attributed to his soccer background. If I want to see people hit each other, I'll watch boxing or rugby, atleast they do not stop the game after every 3 seconds. They also do not wear protective gear and start acting tough. Lest I forget, what kind of game requires 2 teams to play it? Don't bring up Steve Nash. He's not the most athletic & skilled player in the NBA, and he's certainly not the best player. Just look at how he plays defense, LOL. He just plays in a system that best fits his offensive style. If he played in the Princeton/Triangle offense like the Lakers, or the system that of a Jeff Van Gundy's, he would be an utter liability. Please, don't go the NBA route, b/c I will murder you. As for skill & athleticism, It comes down to this. . . . In America we have a lot of mainstream sportsBaseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, Golf, Soccer, etc. . . And given all of these choices, soccer is ignored. It is a sport for the kids that can't make the elite sports team. I'm sorry if that bothers you. I did a little research on speed guys. Thierry Henry: 11.0 100-meter dash Michael Own 10.8 David Odonkor 10.7 Johann Smith 10.5 Wynalda 4.4 in the 40-yards. . . And from what I could find. . . .the NFL would easily sweep all the sprints in a track meet. Thierry Henry is fast, and I see that he's could be considered the fastest soccer player ever. But not fast enough to run with the NFL speed guys. And of coursethe NFL guys are bigger with that speed. Which makes them even more athletic. I don't really have to talk about this anymore. It's clear that I'm right given the attention that Soccer gets here in America. |

Why are you speaking out of your ass? LeBron runs a 4.4, That is blazing speed. LeBron is also bigger and stronger than this pathetic "Theo Walcott" you're comparing him to, and I don't even like LeBron that much. . . |

Another ignorant post. Why do you guys love to speak out of your ass? These NFL players are highly strutinized and tested rigourosly for any performance-enhancing drugs each year. The only guy that tested positive last year was Shawne Merriman, and that was 4-months before the start of the season!!! These guys are tested year-round. You would do the world a big favor if you could stop speaking out of your ass. |

Soccer is boring. That's for sure. Most of the countries of the world are smaller than the USA. Take Europe. Most countries are like states here and they're all close. This sets up a bigger rivalry between nations. We don't have that here. . . .Who would be our rival? Canada? Mexico? And Soccer is the sport between nations. I don't think it would matter if they played tiddly winks. It's national pride. So it generates a lot of excitement. Because America is so large and isolated the rivalries are between cities and states within our country. We don't get too excited about a soccer game with Mexico or a basketball game with Lithuania. |

speed isnt really an issue in soccer, no matter how fast u are u gotta hav skills. Soccer is spiritual and i don't expect a troll to understand it.
American football sucks,
soccer is not necessarily bw nations, leagues exist in almost all countries in the world including the USA even tho i must admit american league soccer is boring. theres just something about the american spirit that does not flow with soccer. Americans can't understand wtching a game for 90mins and recording a score of 2 or 3. that explains y most americans ive met are daft!

I understand there is a large soccer skill set, I was being slightly facetious. But when you've got countries that seems to preach falling (Portugal, C Ronaldo being some of the better examples) when games are decided by a single goal, its hard to really qualify that sport as the best in the world to me. Soccer is spiritual and i don't expect a troll to understand it.
American football sucks,
. . .spiritual to the sense that a countries citizens will go out and kill the goalie for their team b/c a team scored on him. soccer is not necessarily bw nations, leagues exist in almost all countries in the world including the USA even tho i must admit american league soccer is boring. theres just something about the american spirit that does not flow with soccer.

Soccer is boring because the game is flawed. There simply isn't enough correlation between execution and scoring. And don't tell me that I don't understand soccer vibe. . . .I've seen huge rivalry games in the world's biggest stadium (Rio de Janeiro). |

soccer is not boring, the over-arching desire of the americans for bigger scores/bigger everything made them modify rugby so they could score more
thats not true sport, thats just a way of entertaining some bored people with time on their hands. the AF stops too frequently, too many interruptions
there is enough correlation between execution and scoring - only the best counts, we don't need to make the goal post 3 miles wide so as to get more scores - that would be another sport.

Football's passion starts with club vs club and city vs city.
Country rivals are the last in the line, hence your analysis is on a wrong basis.
Manchester United versus Arsenal will always generate more passion than England versus Brazil.

Lol. No offence but America isnt the end-all to everything. Whether or not they like the sport here doesnt mean shit. it really doesnt. "oh well that's why it doesnt get much love in America", so what? Who gives a shit? Who besides Americans give a damn about American football? Freaking curling has a better damn following. The whole "well america hates it so it must suck" thing is very retarded. Please don't be retarded. |

Again, the tired, typical "ignorant Americans don't understand Soccer" idea is for people who are just too stupid to say anything else. I do know how big Soccer is in Europe and around the world. But what the hell is that supposed to have to do with my liking it or being able to "appreciate" the sport? I've seen Soccer. I've seen other sports. When it was all said and done, Soccer was not one of my favorite. But leave it to some moron like you to try and reduce it to some "ignorant American thing". Typical. |

I'm expressing the idea of general Soccer homers/Football haters on this thread, and you just happen to be one of 'em. Fact of the matter is, most ignorant Soccer homers like you have the attention span of a 5-year old and can't sit still long enough to understand the game of Football. If you haven't seen it at a high level or even been to game then, you wouldn't appreciate the game. Who's more of a retard, dickheads like you who bash Football or well-rounded, objective individuals like myself who understand the game and how incredibly skilled the athletes are who play the game? |

Fact is it'll get to the main page, ATTENTION SEEKER!!! 
MLS is better than Premiership - Gbeff! Now we all know you are studying in america, you are VEEERY FAT (though you call it well-rounded) and you've been forging documents to call them grades (you say you have a 3.9 out of 4.0 yet you can't even use the wise part of your brain) Now you resort to name-calling, attacking people who don't buy into your shares, i'm here for you all day.

its funny how the trolls keep using the words; strong, 285lbs, 300lbs, knocking out, and so on. I love America/Americans but u guys tend to celebrate violence too much. U r comparing American football to a sport that requires mad skill and endurance (Football fans are not so crazy about seeing eyeballs and limbs flying all over the pitch). I think you should rename the topic to: NFL TOUGHER THAN WWE.
