They skipped the part where Beckham gets annihilated by a 240 pound linebacker over the middle
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Luckily Beckham plays the real football, not that poor copy of the good old Rugby but with padding.
Why do you need to wear padding by the way?
Afraid of anything?
Never actually saw him being called "dave" until this topic...
ahhh still remember the time he scored from the half way line.... awesome, poor Nigel Martin
That's because Dave and I are tight. I have permission to call him that.

Soccer sucks, you can place a ball and a retard on the field, they will kick the ball in the goal without telling them what to do.Afraid of anything?
Football takes strategy to win. Each team tries basically kill the other team, or whoever is across from them.
Soccer you just kick a ball...woohoo...

yay for Europeans who don't know anything about football!
By the way, for those wondering why I'm so hostile towards soccer fans...this post pretty much shows you why. Every time you mention football around a soccer fan they go into "you wear padding you wuss" mode, without any actual knowledge about the game.
And yeah..we're afraid of something, concussions for one...you'll find that despite that big hard plastic helmet, there are still dozens upon dozens of concussions every season in the NFL. Check an injury roster for any team in the NFL mid season, you'll find that those pads are of little consequence when you're getting hit by a 310 pound man who runs a 40 yard dash in 4 seconds.

If it really was that easy, I'd be playing on the national team right now.And no, you won't see that in a soccer (thats called football btw), we expect a little more then big men in plate mail bashing into each other.
They skipped the part where Beckham keeps the ball away from the 240 pound linebacker for hours upon hours whilst staying in a 10' by 10' box.
Change my mind so much I can't even trust it

it's weird how the americans call it football anyway, half the time it's in some sweaty mans arms, or flying in the air... there's very little foot touching.
More commerical breaks, than foot touching
I do love american baseball though, even if people look at me strangely when i go see the mariners in seattle... and i don't stand, obviously, for the anthem.
Give me european football anyday (what the americans call "soccer), good deal of tactics, lots of fun to play.. and a great deal of excitement. Unless it's american soccer whose crowds hate the crossing, or what is termed "air ball" lol :-p
Everytime Glasgow Celtic practice in america pre-season, the stadiums are always bursting
Even if my seattle friend, just looked confused when i took her to Parkhead to watch a game.

I like all kinds of sports. I'm a fan of all of them except basketball.
But I have to admit that I find soccer more preferable over football. The main reason is because I like a sport that is more accessible to more people. Soccer fits that mold more than football. You've got to pretty much be born with a certain body type, plus be a male, to play football. Not the case with soccer.
That's why I find soccer more enjoyable. It's got the excitement of watching and playing for everyone.

that was a really awesome video.. thanks alot for the vid....

Lol "American Fotball" is just a bad copy of rugby (the real man sport, without protection you know).
I follow rugby and I like it, but there is nothing like Football (soccer for you).
Here I treat you with the goal that sealed England Rugby World cup at the last minute.

Your theory is quite ignorant cause you don't understand how proper football (soccer) works.
Football (Soccer) is very tactic, more than Rugby (and therefore American Football).
Plus tell me, is it more difficult to hold a ball with your hands and try to dribble between other players or is it more difficult to try doing this with the ball on your feet?

Try it and let me know eh?
Also a little pearl from David Beckham, be sure to watch the video til the very end, so you ll understand why they say "bend it like Beckham"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWcHqRGEE4k
Now tell me that any of the players of American Football can kick the ball so precisely, I very doubt that.
I don't find American Football that bad. The game itself and the idea behind it I find quite fun. Although I find Rugby more manly
We used to play a fastpaced mix between rugby and American football in the winter, when I was growing up in Norway. That was fun
What I hate about American football is that it seems to be paced according to commercial breaks and how long it takes a fat American to get his next supply of food and drinks. It has way to many breaks, and the games last to long.
Real football "soccer" is just way more exiting with it's 45 + 45 min, and extra time in important games if needed. Or penalty shooting, damn that is nerve wrecking.
Also football is more of a sport where skill means something, you need talent. While in American football you can be pretty good by just building up enough muscles, learning some technique and follow your trainers orders. Brute force.
People prefer different sports. You won't come to a compromise. Just admit both sports are good in their own right.
Haha awesome video.
Too bad Beckham went to the US to play football* because his wife** wanted to live there and due to the money, not because of the "rich" football* culture.
* Soccer.

Wow, pants by name and nature! This is possibly the most pants argument I've ever read!
A retard? Which would be easier for a retard, holding a ball and walking past the end-zone or dribbling a ball for 40 yards then kicking it between two posts?
Then you say American football is better because it takes strategy. Sending 11 players out to play soccer against a professional team, with absolutely no strategy, will result in a defeat of an unprecedented scale.
Then American football is better because they try to kill eachother? So, I take it, war is even better still?
Then to highlight this, you show a video of people damaging eachother, and ask if soccer players could do that. Of course they could, but why the hell would they want to? What intelligence or skill is needed for that kind of thuggery?
Why are you trying to discredit a sport which you clearly don't know the first thing about?
Edit: To be fair that last question could equally be directed at those calling American footballers "wimps".
Eheh
It might be true
But the real reasons why Beckham went to the US are:
1) He is too old to last 90 minutes
2) He is losing interest in football (well, he was..... til he got sacked by Real Madrid and England, all of a sudden he came to life again)
3) He has been paid 200 million dollars.
By the way........good news
The Spice Girls have reformed!!!!
And America is not spared ..........Joy !!!!
PS: The good thing about Beckham in America is that Victoria followed him.
Good luck with her guys........and good riddance.

WOW 2 IN THE SAME POST THAT THINK EXACTLY LIK ME!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!SOCCER iz the most beloved sport all over the world(i gotta give props to basketball, itz gettin there), I hate wen all the hick, violent, red neck kids in dis country say that football (american) iz better, i can see how people outside this country could get the impression that we are warmongers (violence in american football), and about the whole thing wit the retard and playin soccer, not true, not everyone has the coordination to get passed 11 players, incresingly better at the back at defence, balance to shoot, shoot, and get it passed a golie who wuz probibly a golie since his youth team, and score. Whereas any steroid induced huge built dude who had no moral upbringing what so every could barrel through other huge steroid induced players while being fully protected in padding that could cusion a train impact, btw, pads r for gurls wen they have their periods, not for sports

Soccer takes more tactics, football takes strategy. It's like comparing a real-time combat RPG to a turn-based RPG. The real-time RPG players will say "what's with all the stop and start, taking turns, and the complete linearity of it?" The turn-based RPG players will say "what's so special about spamming the attack button and relying so heavily on changing plans in the middle of a battle and not having to level a character to the bulky extent of a turn-based game?"
Some people like Zelda, some people like Final Fantasy. Can't we just agree they're both good in their own rights?

I was born and raised in america. I used to be a sports nut, but now I rarely watch american sports. American sports are not true contests anymore, they are big business. Even retired american professional athletes will tell you that american pro sports are a show or entertainment and not true contests. Watch john sally on best damn sports show. He will tell you it is a show or entertainment not a contest and he even has 4 or 5 rings.
American sports is about promoting single superstars to sell jersys and other sports memoribilia. There is very little team mentality from the actual leagues. I am convinced american sports shows are just as controlled as professional wrestling. I am sick of it all and will not spend any money supporting american sports.

I'll gladly teach you about football, we can all put a set of pads on and then I'll teach you why you're completely off base when you say that it's just a watered down version of rugby.
