What do you mean by "baby sport"?


I mean by the flops, it's almost as bad as in the NBA.


Just like American football is the 'baby' version of rugby? (;
Football (soccer) is the biggest sport in the world.


I can agree with that, but you automatically assume I like Football.


Only because that's what American's generalize as a 'hard' sport. What would you call a hard sport?


American Football is a hard sport so is Hockey. That's why more people watch that then Rugby. The only reason American Football has pads and such is to protect their players.


Cause they are p*ssies!! F*ck American Football the only good thing about it is its only on for 4 months... Soccer is all year round and it is played in countries in 100 degree weather. you don't see the American football in the summer do you?


That's because they train all summer you idiot. They have this thing call the Pre-Season. All soccer is, is people running back in forth kicking a ball. That's being a *****.


And American Football is just tackling and adverts.

You need no skill, just to be big and strong.

In Football you see people who actually have talent.


Are you kidding? ALL YOU DO IS KICK A BALL. Babies do that. You don't see a team of babies vs. babies in a park playing American Football do you, no I didn't think so.


Yeah, kicking a ball, yet I bet that you couldn't kick a ball 40 yards directly to someone and play it over the top of 3 players so it lands exactly at their feet.

And where is the babies coming from? Anyone can play football but it doesn't mean the can do skills, precise passing/shooting, it's not just "kicking the ball"...


You don't have to be good to play soccer. All you need is to have legs.

I'm sorry but this post literally gave me cancer.

Haha! I know right, The people dissing soccer are so unbelievably ignorant it kind of makes me want to move out of America lol.

I don't see why everyone is hating on the other sport. they both require a great amount of skill and both are entertaining to certain people. Everyone is acting like their sport is better haha

VisionaryMGMT wrote ITT: Stereotypes.

>I get an average of one premier league game per week

NBC Sports actually has every single premier league game available. I don't get NBC Sports so I have to watch a stream anyways.

>Soccer is boring

You'd be surprised how similar Football and Soccer actually are.

2011-2012 regular season games only:

EPL

>1066 goals
>380 matches
>2.81 goals per match

NFL

>1259 TDs
>256 games
>4.9 TDs per game

Now factor in real time per game viewing length:

>NFL: 3 hours, 7 minutes = 187 minutes
>EPL: 1 hr, 51 minutes = 111 minutes

So, scoring in real time:

>NFL: 187/4.9 = 38.16. A touchdown every 38 minutes of real time.
>EPL: 111/2.81 = 39.50. A goal every 39 minutes of real time.

Basically the same rate. This leaves out field goals, but screw those anyway. Go ahead and throw out the "not enough scoring" argument against soccer. Only difference is length of the game and giving 1 for a goal instead of 6 for a touchdown.

Pool wrote I think Running Back requires skill. You know? Adrian Peterson? Chris Johnson? Arian Foster? All top notch running backs in the league.


Isn't a running back just a soccer player that carries that ball?

--- Guys, I like both sports, but saying soccer is for fgts or it's not as athletic as football is insane.

I used to be just like you guys. I was on the football team in middle school, I'd always make fun of the soccer players. Then something just snapped and I sat around and I watched a Manchester City game a few years ago and I've been supporting them ever since. I get up at 7am in the morning on weekends just to see them play. I personally love soccer now and I plan on trying out for my high schools team in the Spring. Not every sport is for everyone but Jesus Christ, everyone has a preference, chill out.

Go Giants, Red Bulls and Manchester City!



I'd put some crazy Red Bulls video here, but they haven't won anything big.
So here, have some MLS Highlights.


Attendance figures are fun, but we both know soccer fans are not the majority in the US.

It's not shown because it probably doesn't have as large a following like american football, hockey, basketball, and so on. Use the internet to watch whatever you want!

NEWk1nks wrote you also forgot about NHL buddy...and you don't see it that much in America because soccer is boring to play and watch and America is the only country that realizes it...to be honest, I hate soccer and the player,lol baseball players are tougher than them and when their is a soccer fight..they kick, like wtf, its like watching a bunch of weak pist off girls running around and kicking a ball around on too big of a field and also most of the game the ball stays in the middle..its boring no one wants to watch a 2 hour game when the final score in like 3-2..go play and watch a real sport dude!
soccer/football probably has the biggest fanbase and the most passionate sport in the world.
You call soccer players wuss's which is not really true is it? about 1% of players actually mess about diving constantly. Most of them fake their injuries because it might help their team get an advantage.

i don't know how you can say go watch a real sport when we have rugby, which is actually more manly than your american football

rant over

You only show one video to support your argument.

The video I posted was of the Lech Poznan Ultras at a game being played by 10 year olds. There is hundreds of videos I could show you and they aren't of people dressed like gimps.







Millions of videos, football fans are so passtionate they go into groups and fight for their clubs, American fans just sit next to each other because they care as much as a schoolgirl.
