I never understood the sport where you are playin with like a twenty foot wide GOAL, and a 12 in ball, and Score 1 freakin point..... and that is amazing.... but Basketball players play with a 13" ball and an 18" Hoop, and score in the 100's! And you tell me that these guys are great?
Just a point...... to each their own!!!

but really, football is for the real tough people and SOCCER is for wimps who have a one-in-hundred chance of getting hit, but if you play both thats cool.
Just the truth. :joy:

How do you;
steer the car
hold the racket
hold the club
keep your balance
keep your balance
hold the poles

haha! As a former Div. 1 player and a current college coach I have to put in my 2 cents... Football sucks. Its a bunch of "big boned" guys who have to huddle up before each play and tell each other exactly where they are going to run. Then, they line up and jump on each other while grunting. Sounds exciting. HAHA, I'm just playing. I do give a lot of credit to the quarter backs and recievers though, they have to be in good shape and quick on their toes. Soccer on the other hand, everyone must be in shape! There is no "time outs", you adjust to the play as it happens. Everyone plays offense and defense. There is a lot of strategies that must be taken into consideration also... what formations you should play according to the strengths and weaknesses of your team and your opponents team... I could go on and on. And hey, I aint complaining about the orange slices...

you are right FUTBOL does suck... you mean to tell me that because there is a huddle and organization before each play you are going to discredit their intellegence and athletic ability... atleast it doesnt look like a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off chasing a polka dotted ball...
not to mention please sign me up for a sport where the army is in full riot gear and teargas ready to be fired at any moment... or if you miss the game winning goal you go back to you home and get assassanated... yeah sounds like a blast... oh and btw the clock may not stop, but there are plenty of times during the match that the ball is slowed or stopped so the players can catch their breathe...

hm... I have a great idea... let's kill a pig and shove a bunch of air up it's butt. Then after that let's run around with more padding than a maxi-pad factory and crash into each other. Now that takes some talent... :cheer:

Real tough people? Tough is not covering every square inch of your body in near bullet proof armor and running into someone wearing the same. It looks like a demolition derby with nerf cars. What is tough is sprinting as hard as you can and diving head first into a header when you know either someone's boot or even worse someones head is about to collide with yours, and yet you don't lay off. Football players are strong, I'll give you that (you got to be to shove another fatty all over the field).
If only retarded girls prefer soccer players, then I married a retard. You got to look at the long run on these atheletes. After a football player has finished his "athletic" years and his bulking up and working out is over (and he's quit his steroids) he usually develpes man boobs bigger than most girls. Attractive? I doubt you would think so.
The final point: You will NEVER see a soccer player pat another teammate on the rear after a good play...EVER.

Yeah, you didn't quite grasp that one...obvious football fan. Kidding
. What I meant was, the use of hands in the above mentioned sports plays just as much of an important role in those sports as does the use of hands in soccer. And I'm not referring to the obvious keeper position. I'll put it another way: A double arm amputee would probably not make a good soccer player (no offence to any double arm amputees). People have taken the handball rule and run wild with it. The ball can't touch your hand, but you are constantly jiving, pulling, pushing and fighting for position and possession of the ball by using your hands and arms - just watch a game.
As for the fighting in soccer by the fans, it happens in football too, but on the field with riotous behavier (who was it? Clemson / South Carolina and some NFL teams?). Look, occasionally a soccer player will get in a row with another player and a punch will be thrown. But I have to say, in football when a player throws a punch at another player...it is possibly the stupidest, dumbest thing I have ever seen (and consistantly see over and over again). Throwing a punch at a person wearing a metal face mask and a composite helmet it a good argument for removing that person from the gene pool.

So, what do you think about the new "Houston 1836" ?
I'm not much for soccer, but it's getting some publicity here!
