American football players are 100 times more athletic than any soccer player. Watch this link, it is Tedd Ginn from my hometown Cleveland. There isn't a soccer player alive that is faster than he is.

This video is proof of why you Euros are lucky that Americans could care less about soccer. Could you imagine facing 11 guys that run like that on the soccer field?
American football players are bigger, stronger, and faster than soccer players.
-
nigga why you always on that better than you shit? you aint gettin no money or what
apart from that you ever thought running while DRIBBLING A FUCKING BALL in a way that no elite defender can snatch it MIGHT slow down your pace ese?
anyways, check this link my chink http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYUtKKbBTkw&mode=related&search=

Hate to break it to ya but Roberto Carlos has been timed at 10.5 seconds for his 100 as a 34 year old, the same as your papi chulo Ginn.
-
you and your pro american brag offs suck
-
Rugby is a much harsher physically/athelitically demanding sport and Euros shit on us North Americans in that shit
-
Dennis Rommedahl's track-record on 100m in 10.2 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than your ginnyboy's, basicly that means that he would be 3m (3.3 yard) ahead of the "ginniepig"
of yours at the finishline :o
(http://www.4thegame.com/media/00/03/48/rommedahl_dennis_cafc_profile_2006.jpg)
not to mention that football is more than just running fast ... the bigger part is about technique, pace and vision. speed alone gets you nowhere. in fact, rommedahl is actually considered just being an average player.
but i guess in yankball, speed and strength is all that matters.
-
american football players are athletic but they dont play for long periods like football (soccer) players do.

athletic as in stronger and more packed with muscles?, absolutely. those guys like their daily dose of juice, and im not talking about the orange or apple ones
but their pace is nowhere near fotballers.

LOL at this idiot adressing Europeans like he isnt one...i thought he was Polish?
-
Tedd Ginn makes his opponents look like pee wee players. But spelling Ted with 2 d's = lame.
-
The best player of the last 20 years in soccer was been Zinedine Zidane. He was slow. So what?
-
Yeah this Tedd guy is fast, but after he does that play he goes and sits down and catches his breath for 15 minutes while you have a commercial break. whereas football players play solid for 45 minutes have a break and do it all again.
-
what you fail to realise is yes he is very quick, but all he has to do is just run for a catch or with the ball.. we have all been taught how to do this since young ages.. NOW you try running that fast with a ball at your feet while keeping steady control and balance on the ball.. Really your narrow minded comments are funny example of how little you know, just give up and stop addressing football
-
we gotta stop this shit...Football players are BUILT and DESIGNED to do what they do. Soccer players the same.
However....Being a Quarter Back = Toughest Position in all of Sports.
Oh and if you guys wanna talk about stamina? Lacross and Hockey players go at 100% speed all the time.
-
LOL at this idiot adressing Europeans like he isnt one...i thought he was Polish?
He is. He's just ashamed of it... can't blame him.
-
How can I be Polish if I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, United States?
-
I do give props to Ginn though for fucking all those white bitches from Ohio State :o I'm sure he 10.5'd them all.

yeah, but we Europeans don't like guys who are filled with stereoids and shit. And everybody knows that soccer players need a good condition/speed
Plus football players are skilled, whereas football players are mostly dumbfucks who have motor disturbances.

I was born in Los Angeles, California, United States... but I'm just as much Afghan as you are Polish. Your dad was a Communist and your mom was a whore roaming the streets of Warsaw. They gave birth to your nerdy, pathetic, scrawny ass... and your sister who gobbles down black dick at school.

Exactly! I can think of ten average/below average football players who could do the 100ms in less time that your man Tedd Ginn, in football you can be the quickest guy alive but if your minds slow, you will never make it. To be a WORLD CLASS football player, not only do you need raw talent but you need intelligence (See Kaka, Ronaldinho, Zidane, PLatini, Pele, Beckenbauer)

ummm....Ted Ginn isn't even the fastest man in the NFL, not even close. Have you ever heard of Devin Hester? I can assure you he can beat any soccer player in a foot race.

It's irrelevant. The topic was made thinking that soccer players aren't fast, and quickly it was disproven. The entire world has fast people, the fastest people in the World aren't just in the NFL.

No. This thread was created to show the NFL athletes are more ATHLETIC than soccer players. Being an athlete isn't all just about speed. You also have to remember how much other mass these NFL players have on their upper bodies. They are extremely strong. If they focused most of their energy on speed, instead of 50/50 on upper body strength(which to a degree slows you down by the way ;)), they would be incredibily fast.
-
If you are going to deny that American football players are more athletic than soccer players, then you are a freaking idiot.
Another video...this one with Reggie Bush, Ted Ginn, and Devin Hester. There are no soccer players alive that can do this.

American football players are also alot stronger and tougher than pussy ass soccer players. There is nothing gayer then watching a bunch of men in short shorts prance around the field. It is even worse when they get kicked in the shins and fall to the ground like they have been shot. Meanwhile, in the NFL players are breaking bones, getting concussions, and in the worst cases becoming paralyzed. If they didn't wear pads there would be deaths.
How many soccer fags could take a shot like these??

The same can be said for soccer players. If they didn't focus on other shit and just focus on speed they will also be fucking fast.
You also said it yourself, "This thread was created to show the NFL athletes are more ATHLETIC than soccer players. Being an athlete isn't all just about speed." That's what the soccer fans have been saying throughout this thread.

I never doubted that soccer players are athletes, I just think football players are better athletes. But dude, soccer players mostly concentrate on running and kicking. Seriously, what else do they focus on improving besides kicking, endurance and speed? Football players have to concentrate on numerous things. Like a RB, he has to know how to hold on to a ball, make nice crisp cuts, speed, catching, blocking, breaking tackles, his vision, strength and endurance.

That's all I wanted to disprove. The original post made it seem that because of speed that NFL players are better athletes. What there is no doubt in is that the athletes in pretty much all sports are the best at what they do. They all work hard etc.
You're really simplifying the game of soccer by saying it's only kicking, endurance and speed. Like it's been said so many times in this very topic, speed can give you so much but in the end pace, vision of the field, reading opponent's defenses is what makes attacking players really great. A defender has to figure out ways to bother the attackers, they have to read what a striker might do, they have know the player's weak foot and try to use that as advantage, they have to figure out a way to cleanly take the ball away. And really this is just basics.

Again i'd love to stand up for us N. Americans but fuck you coz i rather stand up for the truth and this is Europeans taking hits.
p.s rugby is a sport played without should pads and helmet this is straight bone to bone checks. In rugby you constantly hear guys playing with concussions and broken bones and shit its nothin to them. i aint trying to put football players down but atleast they got protection.

Lol at this whole thread , Europeans don't care about U.S Football anyways; this sport is annoying as hell and being a monster in soccer ask WAY more talent than being fast and catch a fucking ball...

He's Canadian.... Totally different from an American.
No disrespect Plant.
-
Whats the story with the pads in Am. football?
-
american players are bigger and stronger than most rugby players. like i said you put some of the probowl hitters in rugby from the NFL and you'd get more injuries. plus american football is smarter than rugby. players want to have careers and owners want to protect their investments. there was an article in Sports illistrated about how fucked up old football players were in their edler years (back in the day they wore very little if any protection). you got to figure, plus what is the main goal of the sport? is it to end someone's career/life or to go out there and play hard without worrying about the latter?
american football>>rugby>>>soccer.
-
from someone who got injured playing rugby in school a serious neck injury which i still have sum 7 years on ill say rugby is on a whole nother level considering stamina and the shere force of contact in rughby it shits on all other sports yeah foot ball is hard with 45 min non stop running while keeping you concentration and always thinking but rugby without no pads or shit is just lethal these dudes play through some unbelievable injuries

http://youtube.com/watch?v=H9HqYc6FZ6o - some nfl hard hits
Weezy posted the video I was going to post for Rugby.
Each sport is physical in its own right. A hit is a hit regardless if there's pads or not. A hard hit coming from a very quick and strong linebacker 250lbs+ or a lineman 280lbs+ is going to hurt. Players have had compound fractures and some have been paralyzed playing NFL football, you can't call that wimpy or weak by any means. I personally haven't watched Rugby but just from watching clips you can tell it's a very physical sport as well. Too many people getting caught up in "my country's sport is better/stronger/more physical/etc. than your country's sport" Each sports' athletes are groomed to excel at that particular sport so complaining and arguing about athleticism/toughness when the training and focus is completely different is a waste of breath and time.
