OG Football vs American Football - Interesting link
Don Jacob:
i find it funny how british people trash americans for being dumb when our football is A LOT more intellegent than soccer
i love it how you guys say our games are boring to watch becuase theres not enough action, but how much more exciting is soccer when you can take a shit , shower, and go to the store, come back and the score is still 0-0~!
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.

well i expected a laight from that.. m,y arguments against the nancies were pretty much used up within first 10 posts.. haha
then i learned something
--- Quote ---Unfortuanately there is a valid reason for the World Series being called that. Basically it was sponsored in its early days by the "New York World Post". When the sponsors name was dropped the "World" part was kept as it was kind of traditonal.
For once the Yanks were not having delusions of grandeur.

the delusions bit made me laff.. ;D
but i really did learn that the world series isnt a delusion ;)
--- Quote ---and the country that invented cricket has no place telling us that baseball is boring....
--- End quote ---
very valid point... cricket should be outlawd... only coz i live within a mile of one of the countries finest grounds and on match days traffic is a f'kin nightmare :) lol
i also found this one quite funny..
--- Quote ---This is a true story from my honeymoon in Cancun.
Got talking to an old American couple at a beach bar, who were very pleasant and quite good company.
10 minutes later, their fat teenage son came over. His parents kindly introduced us to his son, who proceeded to ask probably the most stupid question I have ever heard.
"So what language do you speak in England then ?"
I responded with "English...how about you" whilst dad, to his credit gave him a look of pure stupidity before telling him "son, these guys taught us how to speak"
Just a short story, but for me overwhelming evidence that Yanks are stupid
Case closed !!

most of it is the usual anglo vs US banter we know tho..
white Boy:
i dont really watch soccer, but i dont mind it, football i think takes more strenghth strategy, and is more exiting, but its true, US has both, so....

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...

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.

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)
