Oct 29, 2016 Can you imagine LeBron playing soccer? Or Bo Jackson? These dudes could really play any sport they wanted just due to the athletic ability they were born with.
Oct 29, 2016 Seriously, then people with crazy footwork like Shady and fast/quick players like D-Jax. Put them in "soccer school" like they do with people like Ronaldo and we'd dominate more than we do in basketball
Oct 29, 2016 Are you r-----ed? The smallest player on your national team is the one that plays for the largest club. Do you have even a basic understanding of how football is played? Do you think any of your athletes could stop a random scrawny Brazilian streetkid from megging the lot of them (without them just getting red carded) .
Oct 29, 2016 The point is you f---ing r----- is that if our athletes played soccer their whole lives like the other countries players, it would be a different story. All of our best athletes are playing other sports.
Oct 29, 2016 Done even debating this because I really don't even give a s---, soccer isn't even the 5th most popular sport in this country.
Oct 29, 2016 this is a silly post assuming you're being serious. saying that its less enjoyable to watch is an opinion. anyway, this thread is silly. worm already nailed it with his post mentioning that its expensive to play close thread
Oct 29, 2016 don't get me wrong I love the World Cup but other than that it's just too hard to follow the 60 soccer leagues and tournaments and all that lol I prefer following one branch and one champion being crowned
Oct 29, 2016 Not really a fair comparison tbh tho. Soccer is by far and away the #1 sport in the world, where Football is such in America. I think Basketball would be more of a fair comparison. LeBron James is likely one of the most popular/recognized Americans, period. Atheletes for sure. (There are no stats on this, I just firmly believe this.) Plus Basketball is really taking the world by storm. It's really being played everywhere. If there is going to be a sport that would ever overtake Soccer as #1 in the world, it's Basketball.
Oct 29, 2016 Just make sure that you don't take any L's after this. As much time playing soccer as they do physical training? The obvious result would be that they are less physically built up, but more skilled. This isn't of course to say that soccer players aren't athletic. They do run consistently for 90+ minutes. And some of the best players are indeed athletic. But like i said earlier And ronaldo being a hundred times more athletic than messi did f--- all to stop him from grabbing that "Best player on earth" award. Because the massive skill requirement means less time in the gym and more time juggling a ball. Lol at your third grade thinking level.
Oct 29, 2016 Well thank you for showing you really have no concept of American sports. By your logic, any body builder can be a pro athlete.
Oct 29, 2016 I can't speak for someone who doesn't like American Football but I assume it isn't as intuitive to watch as Soccer due to the downtime between plays in such. It's a stop and go kind of game where two teams put up 'plays' against eachother instead of freeflowing like say, Basketball which is also more popular worldwide to foreign ppl
Oct 29, 2016 soccer just a sport that brokeboi african kids can play, if u could buy football pads with tiger pelts football would be way bigger
