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

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.

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.

  • don status, bitch
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.
