--- Quote from: Molasses on November 19, 2009, 06:15:36 PM ---I think soccer sucks because the point of the game is to get a ball into a goal. And the only way to get the ball into the goal is to kick it, or head-butt it occasionally. Also all soccer players are pretty much pussies. If they fall down, they act like they broke they're leg or something. Then they have to get taken off the field. After a couple minutes, they're back in the game. Unlike American football where people get hit all the time, but nobody cries about it. There is also more than one way to score. They also can run plays, where in soccer, you get the ball, you run down the field. Somebody else takes it, and they run to they're goal. And that happens over and over and over. --- End quote --- It takes more refined reflexes to play soccer than it does to play football. In football it's only running, in soccer it's using your feet to dribble a ball down the field, attempting to do it in a way that does not allow the other team to steal it from you. This makes it so a lesser wound has more effect. Not to mention football players have "armor," so to speak. Also another reason people in football can withstand more injury is because they have to. Injury is half the game. |

In American Football there is no penalty for knocking people out or they would fake injury on that too. Basketball is much worse them guys really give you a show. |

football. i play it. #66. 2nd string linebacker, alternate O-lineman. Starting kickoff team. Torrey Pines Falcon. Football takes more skill than you guys think. its also very mental with the whole mind/matter thing. and even though we wear beastly armor, it doesn't mean were afraid of injury. I scraped my elbows till they bled, bruised my palm, twisted my ankle, and broke my wrist all in one game. |

Also that "armor" is barely anything to protect you, you'll still get hit and you can feel it through it. Most in the nfl wear no knee pads or thigh pads. You want to say that football is nothing but running, which tells me you have no idea what you're talking about. Just because you hate it doesn't mean you should come into a football topic and say "Aemrican futball is stupid soccer iz bettur!!!!!111" --- Quote from: pocketrocket300 on November 19, 2009, 06:40:19 PM ---football. i play it. #66. 2nd string linebacker, alternate O-lineman.

I've played linebacker, you've gotta watch the eyes, the feet, and the way the quarterback and runningback is. Because if you see a back in a loose position, he won't get the ball, if the back is looking at a hole he might be running there. |
