    To all of you who thrash American football with the typical "arguments" like "breaks for commercials", "pads because they're scared", "a few seconds of action and 5 minutes of breaks", "stupid sport" etc. - you sound exactly like Jim Rome when he talks about soccer.

    • @dionr1168
      @dionr1168 8 років тому

      Why settle for 0-0 scores, when you can instead have the 24-17 scores in football, or better yet, 109-101 scores of basketball?

    • @isral9239
      @isral9239 8 років тому +3

      You know a touchdown is counted as 7pts right??? lol, which means 24-17 is actually 3-2 plus fieldgoals

    • @FARFolomew
      @FARFolomew 8 років тому

      It's more equivalent to like 3.5 - 2.5, which is a very important distinction, because you can win without scoring a whole point, something that's impossible to do in soccer. If soccer adopted Rugby/US Footballl scoring, and awarded 7 points for a goal and, say 2 points for shot-on-goal, that would make it a hell of a lot more interesting. Obviously some subjectivity would come into play for determining a "shot-on-goal."

    • @ministryOFmuff
      @ministryOFmuff 8 років тому

      farfolomew Lol that wouldnt change anything beyond the presentation of it. There would still be the same amount of goals and shots on goal (lol @ suggesting awarding points for a shot on goal btw!) in practice.
      Also RE: the low scoring. Football games usually take around 3 hours to finish, sometimes more. The typical soccer game is done in around 2 hours with halftime included. In other words, the actual number of goals vs touchdowns for every minute of viewing time in football/soccer is probably not much different at all.

      @michaeljenkins7024 9 років тому

      ***** Mate, if American Football don't change quickly - hint: get rid of the helmets and learn how to tackle properly - soccer's going to take up a lot of the slack from parents who don't want their kids getting concussions.

    • @michaeljenkins7024
      @michaeljenkins7024 9 років тому

      ***** Mate, I played rugby for 15 years and I coach Union. I'm Welsh. I know rugby thanks. And I'd be highly surprised if you watch anywhere near as much rugby as I do American Football.
      Why this need to talk shit when you've no clue whom it is that you're talking to?
      And nowhere have I said that American Football should remove the padding, just the fucking helmet.

    • @michaeljenkins7024
      @michaeljenkins7024 9 років тому +1

      I don't know how to explain this to you clearer: the helmets c-a-u-s-e head injuries. The helmet gives the tackler license to lead with their head. It would not happen without helmets. It's that simple.
      As for the rest, how are you not getting this?! I've never said they should take away the rest of the equipment!
      As for the hits. Watch some Rugby League. Completely different sport to Union. The hits are huge, in part because play restarts after each successful tackle so the opposition are almost always ready and reset for each new phase of play. Much like American Football only much more relentless.

    • @michaeljenkins7024
      @michaeljenkins7024 9 років тому

      Nope. If you don't get a try within five tackles in rugby league the opposition get the ball. No need to force a turnover at all. And you think that there aren't moments in rugby where the defence has to hold inches?! There are often long exchanges when the defence are literally camped on the try line. They don't lead with their heads in those instances because to do so would be idiotic. They probably would if they had helmets.
      Helmets absolutely cause these problems. Football players often literally lead with their heads. They would very quickly stop doing that if they weren't wearing helmets.
      It's that fucking simple

    • @michaeljenkins7024
      @michaeljenkins7024 9 років тому

      They don't change how they hit. They go with the shoulder. Always. Because there's absolutely no benefit in tackling with the head.
      There is literally no benefit in leading with the head. None.

  • @FARFolomew
    @FARFolomew 8 років тому +2

    Just got done watching the Rio Olympic Soccer finals. I couldn't believe how many of those games ended in penalty shootouts. The low-scoring is one thing, and that's something I could grow to accept, however, there's something inherently wrong with the sport when so many games are ending by seemingly arbitrary means.

    • @FARFolomew
      @FARFolomew 8 років тому +3

      It was disgusting seeing all the flops. Nearly every Brazillian player went down faking serious injuriy on each foul. As someone who rarely watches the game, I felt bamboozled, because the first few times that happened I felt legimiately concenred for their health, only to find out I was being played, just like the ref. Americans hatred for soccer comes not because it's a "wussy" sport, but rather because it's a dishonest one.

    I don't see any logic in that, for I can't see how you can imagine that everyone born 'must' somehow have a passion for sports, want or love to play sports, or just want to play and compete in the olympics just because 'Others do'.
    I am not the provoker, I was the provoked by the idiocy of the person who commented and being stereotypical, and YOU'RE provoking me to retaliate further by mere pitiful statements towards a sport, why my opinion in a joking-manner are important to you puzzles me.

  • @zaneps151
    @zaneps151 14 років тому

    @CMB3864 tactics i will probably agree with you that football requiers more but technically soccer requires way more
    you need to have a fantastic touch with multiple parts of the body
    strong enough to not get knocked off the ball
    have good field vision to be aware of your surroundings
    the right technique to cross, pass, and shoot the ball
    be fit to run up and down a 120 yard field for 90 minutes
    and you gotta be so versatile that you need to know how to play 10 other positions

    I wasn't implying that the pace is slow from perspective of the player...I was referring to the perspective of the spectator. I know that sprinting is involved and that the players are tremendously athletic but so are baseball players...baseball involves sprinting and physical fitness but that doesn't change the fact that the game is very slow paced from the perspective of the spectator. Also, if you know not everyone appreciates ties or draws, why do you decry Jim Rome so much for saying that?

    8 ways to improve socker:
    1) Timeouts. Count backwards.
    2) Coach's challenge/instant replay.
    3) Bigger goal or play with TWO GOALS at the same time.
    4) Improve the offsides rule like hockey did (or get rid if it?)
    5) Red card results in 5-10 min suspension and no more.
    6) All dives will be reviewed and if caught player receives penalty as if he commited the foul.
    7) All penalties commited within the goal line should automatically be reviewed.
    8) Delay of game is more objectively measured.

The majority of US population aged 20 and under have participated in a soccer league, but since america has soo many sports, there is hardly any money in it so they stop. And since the last worldcup, more coverage/highlights are being aired more often, IT IS GROWING!

    the players that get the most respect are the ones who play the game the way it should be, with heart, passion, and determination

Of course they needed padding, because the rules kept on allowing tougher and tougher and tougher collisions. Rugby football stopped doing this and they don't wear padding, but american gridie kept on going and this is the reason padding is needed for professional matches.

I'm not bashing the NFL or anything but the NFL is easy to score because you have to carry it with your both hands and zigzag and not use your foot. In Soccer you have to control the ball not only with your foot but with your head and your chest (when you receive it from air) and it takes months or not years master it.

    In the USA, there is not a franchise team other then maybe the packers that actually reps for their own city. If you look at a team from D.C, NY or L.A - you wont really find playersfrom those cities playing on those teams. Soccer is different, even with globalism. A player from a city, will play for the cities pro team. its truly one city vs another. or one country vs another. truly representing that regions character, values, and identity.

    @Hakers6 can you actually name a riot in football? maybe there are in some parts of south america but i have a feeling thats more down to that area being highly volatile. there are very few riots in Europe and i feel that this is just a way for the US to undermine something. there is nothing greater than knowing you are competing against the world and i for 1 with that the US and Canada would get involved because they could bring a unique aspect to the game
