I'm sorry, but Soccer is boring as hell. Its pales in comparison to what is known by Man as The National Football League. There is action, strategy and athleticism displayed constantly. I gave Soccer a try. I really tried to get into it, to find out what I was missing. Then I realized there was nothing to miss. Sorry guys. If you like Soccer, hey that's cool. Just don't preach it to an American but we just aren't into it. Besides we already have enough professional-level sports compared to what the rest of you guys have.

A football is called a football because it is an object that is kicked by the foot. If you notice in a football game the kicking of the ball plays an important part. You guys have your football we have our football.

Honestly though, look at American football. It's basically a controlled battle, with keen strategy and everything. I'll admit I don't play it much, or watch it, or have any interest in it unless the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, but I can respect it for what it is, and just because it's extremely popular here isn't going to make me dislike it.

I plan to get into soccer though (soccer = American English football; that's how we say it; just like we wouldn't spell honor "honour" or favorite "favourite"; go to Britain if you'd like to, we've got a different dialect; how much longer can one continue in parenthesis?; this is about it), seeing as how it's world-wide and I find that attractive.

just gotta say soccer rules.

there's a lot more running involved than football and since I play HS soccer, i might be biased but our soccer team can definitely outrun our football team by a long mile.

Dude, I have a public confession to make.

I love you. You're like, this first fucking person who actually belives in what I do. American football is nothing but a bunch of buff guys running into eachother with their big red white and blue boners.

Yes, lets kick the ball around and try to make it into the goal. What jolly good fun!

You're a fucking idiot.

American football is better than Soccer or "world football" where people just kick a fucking ball all over the field uncontrollably and there is no REAL strategy AT ALL.

In American football there are thousands of different plays, players with vastly different skill sets, different body sizes, and the the game is very stable and methodic. In American Football there is a very strategic goal, defense vs. offense. You need strategy just as much as you need speed and strength.

Soccer is just a chaotic, crappy, primitive little sport where there is no real strategy, just whoever gets a fucking lucky shot gets to run around and jump in the air like a pussy.

In soccer there is a fucking turn over every 10 seconds, after the whistle and before the goal, the ball goes back and forth across the field many times, and finally out of the blue a player kicks it and gets a lucky shot.

Soccer is for mindless monkies who are too fucking stupid and too weak to play American football. And soccer fans are either too drunk, or have too low of an IQ to understand the intricacies of American football, so they'd rather just watch something their tiny little minds can comprehend, which of course, is the most primitive, mindless sport on the planet: Soccer.

Actually no you didn't you silly little moron.

Cigarettes were 'invented' by Native Americans.

Cigarettes were 'invented' by Native Americans.

Actually basically all European countries did. England wasn't the only colonial power in the Americas at the time, there were Dutch, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese colonies as well that all later became part of the US.

So really, Americans, colonists with the help of Native Americans collectively pioneered the tobacco industry.

Mistake number 1 - Putting America in a topic title.

Dont you know thats how he lives.

Aussie footy is the best, cause it's not too pansy like soccer and its not just the entertainment of watching the scenseless violence of grid iron.

you have to giv it a try that is football and u said i think america should try football when we already have it

Pfft.

You do realize that the ratio of the number of people watching soccer to the number of people watching football at any given time is at least 1:400, right?

So really, Americans, colonists with the help of Native Americans collectively pioneered the tobacco industry.

Because that is relevent to American Football.

Well done, your ancestors are the cause for so so much cancer.

You can't realy compare American football to real Football (Soccer),

To be more fair compare the high contact sports.

Rugby Union, Rugby league, American football, Ausse rules and Gaelic football.

Out of them all American football is the shittest, To many breaks in the game, to much arse slapping and not enough skill.

Aussie rules is baltently the best , No armour but still major front tackles. Huge fuckin pitch, Incredible endurance and skill.

Howether Real football is still the fuckin greatest sport of all time.

Rugby > All other sports.

If you're trying to tell us that there is no action, strategy or athleticism displayed in european football;
1: You haven't watched football for a single minute of your life.
or
2: You're an idiot.
or
3: You have very, very, very different opinions from the people that likes football.
American Football < Football btw

Well, I kinda respect your opinion. I know lots of people that aren't into football. It's the same way around for us who aren't into american football. (The tackles are fun though:D)

Actually you carry it around a lot more than you kick it. It should have been called American Rugby, Touchdown-Ball, Carry-round-ball (yeah i know, the last ones sucked.) or something that-a-likish.

American football is actually a type of 'rugby football' as are all the other similar games.

Any game desended from rugby is a type of rugby football
