Fifa World Cup 2014 Thread - GERMANY!!!

Yeah, I completely agree. American football is a very rough sport. That's why it takes such strong people to play it.

I am curious though, how do field-related injuries have anything to do with those players drunk driving?

You should read about alcoholism and its effects as a coping mechanism. Albeit every American sport has had this problem since the 70's. Hockey for example: Derek Sanderson of the Boston Bruins nearly died because of his problems with drinking and this was during a time when alcoholism wasn't even addressed.

Player fitness and conditioning in sports has been on the rise of course. I'd say hockey players are the toughest conditioned, but you can't be a complete pusillanimous individual to spend 90+ minutes in humidity running/passing/and getting into scoring position in soccer. American Football is less action because there's brief moments of intense activity then breaks, and you especially notice this if you've ever been to a pro game.

true. Same would apply if a professional football player punched you in your face or kicked you as well. They are much tougher built than professional soccer players are. At least, the quarterbacks are. They would be the tanks of all tanks in a l4d apocalypse

You don't need or want to be of a very big build in soccer, the sport is more about agility and speed than pushing people out of the way. If you want a sport for that go watch rugby or something.

Go watch UFC if you want to see someone getting their ass kicked.

I usually think of brand marketing when I think of UFC. But I've paid to see some good fights and some really lame fights not worth the price of ppv (Weidman vs Silva UFC 162...)

Like the usual forum this is, some random starfish has to stir up a fight. OP, please lock until Saturday.

I've never understood this attitude. "I don't like the conversation that's going on in the thread, so I think I should just prevent everyone else from talking about what they want to." I don't understand how no conversation is better than "arguing." We're not even really "arguing" anymore.

best sport is obviously wrestling

What no, not like there's any soccer to be played until the 3rd place match.

When Brazilians storm the field and start executing players and FIFA officials.

If you say so, I'll look around, I keep thinking this thread is dead.

You're right about the pushing thing, however you are entitled to jostle for the ball and push the attacker off, just not obviously and not in a way that could hurt them as you're both moving at speed.

Lol who cares? I get trained by a 7th dan and know how to defend against knife attacks, doesn't mean i will be able to though. Someone who can fight (eg. a boxer) wants to beat you up? You're forgeted.
