    I'm telling you, its all the europeans fault. If only everyone in the world was like Americans, Because Americans NEVER claim American Football is superior to football, And Americans treat football with the greatest respect, right?

    Do I give a shit, no. If europeans were more like americans i think they would die because they wouldnt have another country to whine about.

    So just sit there and keep criticizing americans, I wouldnt want to take away the one thing you have to talk about during your lunch break.

    No, it's just that most Americans don't seem to care. Soccer or Futbol isn't even on the radar, so why badmouth it? Every time I see some argument come up over American Football, and Futbol, it's started by some soccer fan who wants to show everyone how awesome it is, and how much better it is than American Football.

    When's the last time you saw an OP in just this forum alone talk about American Football and how awesome it is? I've NEVER seen it. It's always a soccer fan knocking American Football. It's the soccer fans who seem to be suffering some kind of strange sports related penis envy.

    And Americans never criticize europe and european sports right? Many americans do the same things you accuse Europeans of doing. But then again, I shouldn't really expect an inteligent post from someone who makes an insulting assumption about someone he doesn't even know.

    Please, there are plenty of posts in the off - topic forum where american football fans bash football (soccer). Just take a look through the post history of the off - topic forum.

    In fact,

    mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/132991

    Its always the soccer fans, right?

    I think it would be wise to stop making claims like "Its always the soccer fans or" "I bash soccer because europeans bash american football, but the europeans started it, I swear!" both groups throw mud at each other, simple as that.

    The thing is you dont see us making threads criticizing how you run your country or your sports. I dont give a shit if you dont think my post is intelligent, if you dont like it shove off.  If I seem overly aggressive its because im so fucking sick and tired of hearing europeans whine about americans and how they are so much more advanced in every aspect of life than us. I have been to Spain, Italy and Greece and all people fucking do is complain about americans? Wtf is the obsession with talking about americans? We're hated so fucking much but the first time someone comes and invades your country and your useless military gets annihilated in seconds who will people start whining to?

    Soccer is fun, cool, rugby looks like fun too, except for the whole concussions thing. American football is awesome too, yay.

    oh, and you thought "Well, if some Europeans come here and criticize America, then all Europeans must have that opinion"? Its pointless to put every European in the same basket. I honnestly don't care a lot of what America does and doesn't, and I rarely move into political threads. So maybe you should try to get to know me a bit better before you make assumptions about me 

    Oh by the way

    Did you know there are, in fact, posts here made by Americans that criticize other countries? Just something I think you should know/

    Well if you are pissed off about Europeans defending soccer, I am pissed off about the Americans slagging soccer off all the time as if they are scared that it might one day overtake American football.

    If you don't like soccer there is no need to mention that Americans don't give a fuck about it every single time.

    Soccer don't need America, so we don't give a shit that you don't give a fuck.

    Soccer is the greatest sport on earth, American Football is the greatest sport in..........well America.

    You can keep your precious sport no one else care of.



    Europeans only criticise Americans on Iraq, nothing else, so don't make yourself more important that you are.

    The Iraq war is shit everyone knows that, majority of Americans now realize that, Europeans understood that a little bit earlier.

    That's it.



    Apart for that there is absolutely no problem between Americans and Europeans, I don't get where do you get the feeling that European hate Americans or are obsessed with America, because that's absolutely not the truth.

    We do hate Bush though, but American citizens are not responsible for the decision of a chimpanzee on a power trip.

    I've read the first 3+ pages of this thread and what I see is insecurity. Why would someone defend one sport over another. When you demean a sport (especially when you don't understand it), you are going to offend others. I have not been derogatory to soccer even though I never saw my first match until my mid 30's when the USA lost to Iran. Although I understand the game a lot more now the USA men's team is still rarely on television. Actually they can be seen more on Spanish speaking channels. I don't follow soccer like many of you do so it would be unfair to say it is a great sport or not. Actually I think those that would criticize another sport without knowing much about it is unfair.

    For those who have never seen the movie Brian's Song I would really recommend it. It's a true story about 2 American football players in the mid to late 60's. What makes it special is that they were the first black/white roommates in football (1965) for the Chicago Bears and how they became friends. It is one of the best sports movies of all time and a real tear jerker (I defintely cried, couldn't help it). BTW Gale Sayers is one of the best running backs of all time. Brian's Song is a 1971 movie starring James Caan and Billy Dee Williams. It will make you cry (especially since it's a true story). It also helps you understand a little bit about American football.

    For those that say NFL players aren't as fast as soccer players, know that Herschel Walker not only was an All-American football player and NFL star (86-97), but also an All-American in track. Hershel Walker was named one of the top 5 nationally in the 60 yard dash.  Those that say that American football players are not as fast as those in soccer have no idea. Walker was also part of the 92 USA bobsled team that finished 7th.

    And  yes, I would take the fastest football runner over the fastest soccer runner. (Not saying which is a better sport, mind you) There are moments in football where sometimes pure fleetness of foot is ALL that counts, and being able to sprint your ass off faster than the guy pursuing you (or faster than the guy you're chasing) while wearing bulky cumbersome armor is what wins the game. Soccer players need to run and control the ball. So yes, I think that often pure footspeed is more important than football than in soccer.
     


    Yes you got a point there, because there is never a moment like that in soccer.  But no football is tougher(difficulty wise, not physically), pure sprinting with a ball in hand, or chasing a person, compared to a soccer player in full sprint chasing a ball, getting control of the ball, and making a decision with a defender on his back.  On the other end, you could of been given a through ball, so you would get control, while perhaps still going full speed dribbling and attacking, or slowing it up and creating something.

     

    Pure foot speed?  I'm sure some of that muscle is going to slow him down, compared to a soccer player.

    soccer is for WOMEN god whats entertaining about a bunch of fags running around in shorts? i'll beat the fuck out of a soccer player with my fists, how about that? all soccer players look like gay fags i dont care what country your from. i like japan alot but i'll still tell it 2 any1's face: soccer fuckin bugs the shit out of me cuz its so fucking gay and dumbass europeans are always talking about it in their retarded accents and getting all heated about it.

     

    I know, its not everyone, but whenever when I was younger playing soccer, I would here this from football players.  Not to me exactly, I was one of the bigger guys, but still.

    Not all football players are made of muscle, and in fact I think the sprinters really arent. Control+speed and pure speed are two different things. so ya, I agree with him that probably the VERY FASTEST football player would outrun the VERY FASTEST soccer player but ya know there are middle grounds in both sports so shrug

    Reading comments on youtube is enough to make any person lose their entire faith in humanity to the point where anyone would commit suicide. In fact, the comments on youtube is the strongest arguement to prove that humans are not the most inteligent life form on this planet.
