I went to Miami in April. That South Beach is really spectacular.

I live near South Beach. . .great nightlife. . .you should come visit Coral Gables next time you visit Miami again. Amazing architectures and landscape. . .

Soccer is not popular in the US because it doesn't match up well with American culture.

That is one of the major reasons, good job.

deejay1:
that is american colture despite that i love both games i wil stand to soccer as more fun and better than american football

To be fair, I think the kids would probably be more into Soccer if they showed games and highlights on ESPN. Once every few weeks they show a game in the afternoon, ESPN plays a game but other than that, nothing. They show poker re-runs all day long, (which is a joke) but won't put on a game.  On SportsCenter the only highlight they show is of a missed shot, otherwise nothing. Kids just arent exposed to Soccer like they are the other major sports.

Tornadoz:
Who ever thought of of this topic? In a Nigerian forum you think you really can convince us that American style rugby is better than soccer. If you live in America chances are you will love American football. What's next is, other Nigerians living in Australia will now say Australian rules football is the best thing since slice bread. Many others in Ireland will now say Gaelic football is better than soccer. Call it American, Australia or Gaelic football, they are all different variations of Rugby. There's only one football, the one played with your feet.

I'll tell you what. I don't know much about Rugby, but any time I see a match on TV I am fixated. I don't know much about classical music, but I can tell you Tchaikovsky's Pathetique is an amazing piece of work. Not liking Soccer has nothing to do with a lack of patience or a lack of understanding. It's a sport commonly decided by one goal, and that one goal is too often decided by guys throwing themselves to the ground to draw a foul. I'll tell you what, that sport is not for me.

seeni4ever:
american football is boring. how come they divide a 60 min game into four quarters, that shows how sissy they are. games is not how fast or how big you are but how much you can endure. have you ever try to play soccer for 45 min? being big doesnt make you a strong man. a strong man can be determine on how far you can go without calling time out every 5 minutes.why need a two different teams to play a stupid game

Did you bump your head? Are you bleeding? Do you need someone to call you a doctor?

Please God someone help him before its too late!!! The shere horror and madness could have easily been avoided if someone was around to help him.

ThiefOfHearts:
Didnt you just get on my ass about bringing up basketball and now you're bringing up LeBron?

LeBron actually played football in high/secondary school. Besides, LeBron isn't the only example I gave in my post. . .

ThiefOfHearts:
Golf bores me to tears.

even tennis is better than american football.

My point exactly: Is Golf popular here?

Soccer is more of an endurance and finesse sport, but there isn't a single world class sprinter in professional Soccer.   There are many in the NFL.  

Apparently people have no idea just how big, fast and strong NFL players are. Just look at some of the combine numbers from NFL hopefuls.  

Take Calvin Johnson. . . .guy ran a 4.35 40 yard dash. No one on any professional soccer team can run that. These guys are NCAA sprint champions. It's safe to say that Johnson is far far stronger than any Soccer player. And when I say far stronger, I mean that he's far far far stronger. And then. . .consider that Johnson is 239 lbs. OMG! He's bigger, stronger and faster than any Soccer player anywhere. We're talking pure athleticism here. Of course, the Soccer player has a skill which Johnson does not. So what. A pro bowler has a skill too. Oh. . .and Johnson has a vertical jump over 45".  

Calvin Johnson wasn't even the fastest guy there. One guy ran a 4.32. And he's 204 lbs. Adrian Peterson is a huge guy and ran a 4.3.  

The are 280 lb guys in the NFL that can run a 4.55.  

Bottom line. . .athletically, Soccer dudes don't remotely compare to the guys in the NFL. And if you think about it. . . .

LeBron James is bigger than anyone in pro Soccer.

LeBron James is stronger than anyone in pro Soccer.

LeBron James is faster than anyone in pro Soccer.

If you want me I can bring the stats out as well. I'm a stat freak.

ThiefOfHearts:
Last I checked, I said in AMERICA, I never said IN this thread and even then the thread starter pretty much called it a sissy sprt but that's beside the point. Go out and do a servey in The States about "soccer" and see the reponses, alot will be "pansy". "sissy" blah blah, yet they are the ones all potected like Fort Knox

Many responses, but not the main reason. More kids play Soccer growing up. So they know how to play, but on the beautiful summer day when they're deciding what to do. . . .they don't choose soccer. Too many better choices.  

And I have one word for you. . . .Golf

Donzman:
@sharetroll

How does that make it a better sport again?. . .Football brings income to the world's most impoverished.

Football requires VERY different body and skill types.  You won't see Soccer players make some of the spectacular catches while flying through the air and somehow keeping their feet inbounds, or require the raw power to shake off immensely strong 250+ pound tacklers.

Football is more of a pure power sport, and it requires more athleticism. Watch the football games, you'll know what I mean. . .

my2cents:
I think the question should be rephrased as, "American Football more violent than soccer?"

Tell the guy that changed the title

That last pic you posted brings back so much much memories. The Miami Hurricanes was known to play dirty back then given the title the "bad-boys of Miami". You know what was funny: Miami won the championship in 1987. . .then they put the school on probation 1988 b/c fans were buying the players assets like jewelry & new cars. . .we came back & won the National Championship again in 1989, then was put on probation again for vitually behavior problems in 1990. . . .then we won again in '91. Man, did the Hurricanes dominate the 80's. Every team despised us b/c of out arrogance on top of the fact that we were soooo good. As a little baby, my dad would take me to the Orange Bowl to watch team practice & meetings. . . .

Good 'ole days. . .

OH C'MON GUYS. . . .This thread is FUN!!!

texazzpete:
Funny post!
Sharetroll (a known rabble-rouser and attention seeker) started this discussion yabbing Soccer because 'lots of violence goes on in it'.
trollremix takes the other side and tells us how many people have died from exhaustion and how people daily strive not to be killed on the field.
So would the trolls just make up their minds and decide what they want to say?


anyway, i'm biased! it's never been much fun playing any NFL game right from GameBoy to Xbox360. Soccer on the other hand, !

How was my statements contradictory?

KoMe Nuthugger, You may say that Kobe is the better defender b/c he's more than a lock down defender than Wade. . .
and I say no, it is Wade's defense that is better than Kobe, Wade utilize something called "bush doctrine" in which his offense is so robust that his opponents are worn out and/or in foul trouble and therefore cannot perform as expected on offense.

Wade's overall defense was rated at 14.0 opp per. (against the elite guards in the East)

http://www.82games.com/0607/0607MIA.HTM

Kobe's is the same at 14.0 (not as much Elite guards in the West)

http://www.82games.com/0607/0607LAL.HTM

"Bush Doctrine" doesn't work in the real work because it's a multipoler setting and everybody will sees Bush as the aggressor and gang up on him but in a bipoler setting such as basketball game it works great!

Players like Wade applies "active defense" where he wears opponents out, gets them in foul trouble, etc. on BOTH sides of the court, as opposed to "passive defense" by players like Ben Wallace. His opponents overall production went down even more than when playing against Kobe!

In a nut shell, it's like you hit people so hard that they can't even get up, let alone trying to punch you back, as oppose to trying to dodge or block their punches.

You picked on the wrong person. . . .

Donzman:
lol @ American Football

A 48 minute game, 36 minutes is spent rolling on the floor after a run, jumping up and down after a tackle and gathering for team discussions. You only get 12 minutes of action on a lucky day, play is stopped after every 5 seconds.

How can a 48 minute game last 3 hours and you expect any human being to enjoy it?. . .The game is far from free flowing and the players are one dimensional.

Jealousy. You are jealous of all of the attention that football gets. I ran track in high school, and many of the non-reveue sport athletes were insanely down on football and basketball. Some would even apply the "dumb jock" stereotypes to football players and basketball players, when the general public applies those same stereotypes to athletes of their sports, too. But I had a different attitude b/c I played football, too. I knew that the revenue sports (especially basketball) funded the non-revenue sports.  Don't bite the hand that feeds you.  That applies to general soccer population, as well. The NFL and college football bring a lot of money to a lot of communities that their economies wouldn't have, otherwise.

sexxxxy:
sharetroll,troll remix, U RE IGNORANT,watch football aka soccer(a retarded word for it) and u'll appreciate it(watch it properly, so u can understand it,make sure your blinkers r fully on,

Haha, I'm in trouble, that's funny. Some computer junkie types up a blazing insult and hits "post" with her mouse button while she eats a tv dinner?

Uh oh, maybe this post will get me in "trouble." Better watch out.

Eastcoast:
This topic is so funny. Men, I used to be an extreme lover of soccer. Like wow, my family was even getting scared at my love of the game. Then, all of a sudden, i moved to the fast past world of america and my life made a 360. I love FOOTBALL, the game is so amazing. In my opinion, it is more entertaining than soccer, something is always going on, either the qb just threw an interception, Defensive lb just sacked the qb, punt returned for td, or the game is on the line and you need the kicker to make a 60 yard field goal for the win. Something is always going on. Unlike soccer where they just keep passing the ball and turning it over and over for 90mins. Since i discovered football, its been ver difficult for me to enjoy my first love.

I love you.

KoMe Nuthugger, Just another reason why Wade is better than Kobe.

Lets look at the facts.  Lets look at the numbers.

I posted each player's influence on the floor.  No bullcrap, just what happens.  When Kobe is on the floor, the team gives up 1.2 fewer points per 100 possessions compared to when he's not on the floor.  When Wade is on the floor, the Heat give up 5.7 fewer points per 100 possessions than when he is not on the floor.  Interestingly, the Heat also are more reliant on Wade for offense than the Lakers are on Kobe for offense.  The same is true last year.

What annoys me about twits like you is that you like to denigrate the other guy to make your guy look good.

Kobe is a great player,  In my opinion, the 2nd best wing player in the NBA this year behind Wade.  Trying to put down Wade to build up Kobe, or trying to put down Kobe to build up Lebron, or trying to put down Lebron to build up Wade, or vice versa,  its all crap.

Something you might want to look at.  Each player's +/- (impact on the team when they are on or off the floor).

First, Wade.

http://www.82games.com/0607/06MIA5D.HTM

Then Kobe.

http://www.82games.com/0607/06LAL7D.HTM

As you can see from that, Wade actually seems to be a bigger influence on both ends of the court than Kobe.  Kobe per 100 possessions, is a +5.3 player.  Wade, per 100 possessions is a +14.5 player.  That's a huge difference.

I prefer Wade.  To me, he is the best wing player now for a number of reasons.  He drives and finishes better than pretty much anybody now. He gets more "and ones" as a result such that his points per shot is extremely good. 

Your comments?. . .and please, don't bring up your "Wade crying" tactic to indirectly elude my statements this time.

kobesosimi:
your prior post is to easy to obliterate, so I chose to leave it alone.

Then why don't you "obliterate" it. . . . . .or perhaps you can't answer it? I would choose to elude the question if I didn't have an answer, either.

kobesosimi:
but
You still didn't get the point that, kobe was not crying over his broken finger nail.

. . . . .but he was crying over something that never went to trial, nonetheless. . .The guy just can't stand pressure in those type of situations. Again, I ask you, how his your pic relevant to the topic?

kobesosimi:
Your questions above are easy to answer.
Didn't he have the most dominant player in the nba? cough shaq.

LMAO. . . .You sound like a retard. Didn't Kobe have Shaq as well. . . .a younger Shaq, along w/ a younger Payton & Malone, yet he still decided to be selfish and chuck the Lakers into defeat, shooting a pathetic 38%. . . .sometimes I think you forget that you're speaking to a avid basketball fan. My questions are so easy to answer, yet you refuse to answer them. . . .

kobesosimi:
So what was Wade's record this season with shaq out, kindly remind me.

A winning one, nonetheless. . . .25-21, but Miami is 2-8 w/o Wade, your point?. . . .the real question is: How would Shaq & co. fare w/o Wade in the lineup. I think that answer is obvious. BTW, ever since Miami drafted Wade, the Heat have won over[b] 68%[/b] of their games w/ Wade on the roster, w/ or w/o Shaq

OWNED

kobesosimi:
Hey, here's kobe laughing at wade for crying lol.
https://pix.nofrag.com/ad/fa/669bbc47c46fe39fda474cf3e9e1.gif
i'm just messing with yah.

Yeah, What else was I expecting from a 13-year-old troll?

kobesosimi:
The injury itself was not funny.
Shaun livingston is tougher than that puexpletivssy Wade.  Last night, dude's leg was basically dangling by a thread.  Livingston had no tears coming down because he hurt his finger, did he?.
Wade on the other hand, had a wheel chair, a towel, he needd to be airlifted, he needed cpr performed on him, lol you get the point.
For this guy to be a so called "Warrior" he sure did come off to me as a little bi[/b]expli[b]tch
Truth is livingston's leg was disclocated
here, watch this video and see how brutal it was.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Ghupxbj9g

We are talking shoulder. Son, now I don't even take you as serious anymore. . . .And how do you know the severity of his shoulder injury? Have you ever had a shoulder dislocation yourself, I've had one. It's the worst pain in the world. Some even say it's worse than getting your arm cut off. Difference between his & mine was: I was able to pop mine back in at the moment. You sound like another BlackMamba (and I ain't talking about Kobe).

You may go now.

LoverBwoy:
Is american football really a sport compared to football?!?!

You actually wear all the protective clothing there is, you wear metal helmet, you wear some funny thing to cover you groin, you wear something to make your bum look bigger, you wear paint on you face, [color=Black]you wear gloves [/color] , you wear a big metal bra, you wear gum shield, you wear like 100 piece of this and that just for a game  then you stop every 3 minutes just to take energy drink ahhhhh thank goodness it only happens in america

Imagine the kicker comes unto the pitch when there's a penalty then leaves afterwards  bloody hell don't they otehrs have legs or what??
The the QB is not on the field when their team is on the defensive 
the only sport apart from sumo wrestling that encourages players to gain weight 

The fact that the game is played in america alone tells you something 

Ps: i like watching american football sometimes even though i see more commercial/advert than the game
i like watching the highlights, just touchdowns and big bad tackles 

Are you implying NFL players are not as tough? Emmitt Smith played w/ a seperated shoulder for most of his career w/ the Cowboys. . . .Junior Seau suffered a wrist injury, waiving to fans while being sidelined. . . . .Ronnie Lott ask the doctor if he can cut his pinky off, so he can continue his NFL career. That is being tough. Just b/c they have a protective gear doesn't mean these players are not tough.

Why shouldn't players have energy drinks. Do you know how many players have died on the field b/c of dehydration? Your arguements are not coherent & your logic is definately flawed.

rikkyjen:
Another NFL apologist

Your post cannot be reasonably addressed in the manner it was intended.

Badman888:
American football just group of guys running with ball and hugging themselves,

No body can still explain why it is called "football" when they run around with the ball in their hands and hardly use their foot. If you are an american saying its better than soccer i don't blame you its the society you grew up in.

LOL, When you've got games that are 1-0, and many of those games are decided by people throwing themselves to the ground to draw a foul (heck that is the whole strategy of Portugal) no thanks, I'll watch another sport.

Soccer skill set: shooting a ball and falling (aka flopping) *exaggeration needed*
