shows u know zip about soccer.
in soccer you dont get little rests.. its 45 mins flat out pretty much unless someone gets injured.

try maintained man-markings and team strategy over a 45 min period with the other team trying to break every facet of that... you have to dynamically think on your feet and trust those around you... footballers have to be intuitive to where their co-players are...

--- Quote from: Don Jacob Corleone on July 15, 2003, 02:24:12 PM ---IMO i think americans  have a stronger argument here, we have BOTH soccer and football in rotation for the youths of this nation......you guys just have .....soccer, so of course you're going to be bias and get insecure when you compare the 2.

yet again your lack of knowledge (ignorance?) speaks for itself..

dont speak on what you dont know!!

when i was at school we played.... now the ones with ** are pro sports over here..

1) ** soccer (played for the school team)
2) basketball (how did u miss this from your 'youths of the nation' speech?)
3a) ** rugby union (i played for the school and town junior team)
3b) ** rugby league (i still cant remember diff from 3a.. lol)
4) american football (but without pads)
5) austrailian rules football - now thats a tough game
6) ** cricket (was on school team too)

we also played tennis, netball, baseball/rounders and golf.. ohh and did some competitive swimming along with all kindas field sports.

diverse?


basketball isnt really pro over here, there are lots of small teams. its the fastest growing sport in the world still.. and yes I know was invented by americans (hurrah)

man you're talking to a MEXICAN about soccer.....again you are talking to a MEXICAN about Futbol. I may not like it but shit was apart of my upbringing like hot sauce


45 minutes of non stop running......hmmm take away the ball and what do you got....marathon running, we have just those in every major city in america, also football requires FULL THROTTLE running ALL WHILE trying to be aware of everysingle player around you, not paced running. See when you burst out of the line if you're a running back or a wide reciever you got to be able to counter ANY and all players within a micro second. you got to be aware of 5 300 lb plus dudes who run fast as fuck and you got to be aware of any opening to run through that your fell team mate has made for you.....so in our football we're JSUT as aware, except we have to be quicker with the info.  when barry sanders took off from the line he was going full speed like it was the 100 meter race in the olympics......so your argument here is pretty flawed , that's like comparing michael johnson to some kenyon runner.




also here in school we have pleeeeeeeenty more sports to play than just soccer and football....so many it suprises me . anyways my whole point is , american kids/people in general have a stronger more accurate argument here , becuase we're raised with BOTH!

::busts out year book and finds all the sports we got::

we have

soccer
field hockey
basketball
football
lacross
vollyball
swimming
golf
baseball
softball
track and field (various sports, basically olympics)
wrestling
weightlifting
depending on what school you go to, bracket car racing
tennis
bowling
pool(billiards)
depending on if you consider it a sport or not, competition cheerleading
cross country




and oh yeah, not to sound arrogant or nothin but isn't it weird that america is good at just about all these sports.......and the only popular sports here is basketball baseball and football?
hate to think how good we'd be at soccer if it were at least as popular as baseball.
