World Cup teams explained to an average American - LOL
Lunatic:
I enjoy going to MLS games (Toronto FC) but he quality of play/commentary/etc. has nothing on the outside of North American leagues obviously.

yeah, we all know by now that Americans like big monster packed with Steroids. But you gotta understand that for some people sports is more than attacking/hitting (or trying to kill) other people.
Why can't both sides just stfu and enjoy their own sport? ::)

Football is far more than attacking/hitting. Thats only one aspect of the game. Obviously the point of the game is to score. However when we are comparing say, Rugby to Football....and both use tackling as a part of the game, it is natural to compare those. Its like comparing Boxing and MMA. Guaranteed for Rugby players there is a certain amount of pride they take in being "tough" guys. So questioning their fans on the pussiness (its a word damnit lol) of their sport always hurts their self-esteem a little bit it seems. Its funny to be honest.
