agreed soccer blows, football is awesome, go pats. :winkwink:

4 hours? I don't think so! Soccer has 45 minutes each way with a 15 minute break for half time. An hour an a half game from start to finish is 1hr 45mins - stoppage time is never more than a few minutes at the end of each half.

I'd like to ask how a game that's supposed to last an hour and a half takes all afternoon to play? I'm with Brad - American Football sucks ass!

You took rugby and gave your guys full padding because they couldn't take the pain - if you're going to play full contact, at least do it right. Put the All Blacks or Tonga up against the top American Football team without their pads and they'll get their asses whooped!

5 minutes can seem like an hour when you are bored out of your fucking mind.

Ka mate, Ka mate!

Nah, because we have the CFL and the BC Lions. And they always lose.

Physical sport? You're fucking kidding right??? They're padded up beyond a motherfucker. They play 7-10 seconds, take a minute break then play another 7 seconds. They play once a week and the rest of the time is spent in jail. What the fuck is so exciting or physical about this???

You want physical, go watch some Hockey. THOSE motherfuckers are bad ass and PHYSICAL.

Yeah, maybe they should give 7 points per goal, that there would mean lots more points! Maybe even throw in 3 hours of advertising, and take a brake every five seconds and completely ruin the flow of the game, constantly change the players on the field, add about 500 rules etc. Then first soccer would be a real sport, right?

Also, 1-0?? Even Australia scores more often than that!!

Thats great man.


as exciting as lung cancer. HA


Exactly

american football kicks ass ... to answer your question i suppose cause i grew up watching it.

im just sad that the season is coming to an end :(

The REAL question is how anyone could not like football!

ANything with violence... notice Hiroshima ... that was violent and seems every movie has a reference to it or a clip from the explosion.

Rugby dosent move at any where near the speed of footbal a bunch of beer guzzuling dickheads pushing against ech other and when someone gets close. They get rid of the fuckin ball i dare the to pull a duce mcallister put your head down and speed up. Fuckin pansies."oh shit here he come I've got to get rid of the ball". Watch a wide reciever go over the middle once blind looking back at the qb and you see a real man.


But I have to say Hocke is the REAL TOUGHMAN sport 80 fuckin games a year hitting harder than fooball cause the are moving faster and there are boards. And it is only team sport in the world where fighting is acceptable and a normal part of the game.

God himself

One of the best players ever

I second that! :glugglug

Doesn't even come close... :winkwink:

Since when did 90 mins become 4 hours ??

There is only one god, and Zola is his name :glugglug

But I have to admit that I wouldn't mind if Roman bought your boy :winkwink:

glad you brought it up

in average, there is more goals per hour in soccer than there is in football

:glugglug

I honestly think Larsson would do amazing in England. I'd prefer him to go to Barca, but the Premiership is looking more & more likely...

Ah good to see the 'soccer' guys taking over the thread football aka soccer is the best sport. Oh and Ruud is God :D

Renaldo is pretty great... what about pele himself:?

Yeah, he's got some serious talent, and if he doesn't go to Chelsea, then I'd deffinately be happy if he came here to Barça, they also probably need him more than Chelsea

American football is played where ? America.

Real football has fanatical fans everywhere and is played all over the world.

You do the math... :thumbsup

I am an American, and I don't really give two fucks about football...

I'm going to asume you mean Gullit...

Yeah, Pele was of course great, as well as Maradona, both almost as good as Zola :thumbsup

im australia we dont get any american football, except sometimes the finals series, i dont mond it, but i think it would get boring after watching too much. i like australian rules football where the guys arent covered in piles of protective shit, and rugby too of course

I love these monthly football is great/soccer is gay threads. Just to say try painting your face and having one of those foam hands on the terraces of West Ham, see who looks gay then :)

Hahahaha, yeah, and if you ever do that, try to catch West Ham vs. Millwall :glugglug

There's any other Ruud? Gullit is da man! I mean there's plenty of other guys at a world level that have the skill, but few have the sheer presence of Gullit. I think the list would be short -

Pele
Gullit
Maradona (much as it pains me to say it)
Shearer
Beckham
Cantona (shame he quit playing - he had real flair)

a little biased there ? :Graucho

anyway Beckenbauer and Zidane are missing on that list!

Well, there is this Ruud that plays for Man. Ure.

But I deffinately wouldn't put Posh boy on that list, Cantona or Shearer is debatable. And Zola was better than Gullit!

Football is the greatest sport ever. I love football so much that thinking about football brings a tear to my eye.

I agree, anything to get the focus off men kicking a ball back and fourth at each other for hours.
