Another reason why American Football is superior to soccer

You Brits are touchy about your soccer

We think it's a great sport also

for women
 
The person on the left is Vinnie Jones Esq , once a professional footballer . He got his acting break in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. Now he's based in Hollywood, and pursuing an acting career.

Seems Americans like someone who can take a firm grip on their destiny.

Huh? If I understood that post I'd respond accordingly. Soccer sux. Get used to it. I mean what kind of sport has:

Knee socks.

0-0 games.

Riots that have nothing to do with winning or losing.

Rod Stewart as a "booster"

And PENIS NIBBLING!!



American Football might have steroid abusing, wife killing, and cocaine snorting. But they leave the penis nibbling TIL AFTER THE GAME!!
 
Er...

Look at the picture.

Vinny definitley has a grip on things.

Not too sure about destiny and Gazza's knacks though.
Some things I don't want to think about.

And some draws are really good games.
The rioting more often than not doesn't have anything to do with the football anyway.

And what the hell is wrong with knee length socks? They cover the shin pads, which is in the rules.

Myrrdin? Is Vincent still a Welsh International?
 
Question: If a game ends in a draw, was it even played? That's retarded.

Sorry M, that picture was small and I couldn't see the nut grapple.

As far knee socks go, only girl scouts and postmen should wear knee socks.

Vinnie a proud Welshman. LOL

a) He couldn't get picked for England.

b) His Irish maternal grandmother, was lacking in the birth certificate department, which buggered Ireland as his second choice of National team.

c)His Welsh paternal grandfather did have a birth certificate. Which proved Vincent eligible to play for wales, even if we were only his third choice.

association football = knee socks
american football = tights [no 12 broadway joe nameth]
are ALL american footballers transvestites ?
is "the juice" oj simpson typical of all american footballers
how big would laurence taylor be with out steroids?
 
why is soccer the most popular sport in the world if it's so crap? American football is popular in america, period.

I actually like both, but I hate it when people get involved in discussions of which are superior when soccer is clearly better :D

Economics. You only need an inflatable goat's bladder, and any third world country is equipped to play soccer.

*crawls to keyboard laughing to type*

Yeah, I think this goes to equipment.....



Anyway, I love soccer. I played soccer in high school and college (club team), but American football is the ultimate spectator sport AND participant team sport.

The athletes are spectacular. No other sport requires speed, pain endurance, physical stamina, size, agility, and sports intelligence like American football played at the highest levels.

I don't think there's a single person on this board that loves soccer more than American football that has played a single down of organized American football. It's vicious and graceful and never ends in a draw.

So all you "gents" back off from tipping in on something you know nothing about.

Or maybe you'd like to go score a goal and bite dick (must be some sort of European thing).

ok lets get this straight
big fat musclebound meat heads sitting on a bench for 3 hours , hobble over to the [narrow] field and stand there for 2 minutes all for 10 seconds of action
then they all leave the field to be replaced by another team while they all go and get oxygen
yeah much more stamina than running non stop for two halves of 90 minutes how many on a gridiron team ? 70?
11 players on a soccer team for the whole 90 minutes the same 11 no unlimited substitution

Uh...you know nothing of American football if you've never played it. People actually die trying to get into shape for the season. People die and are disabled in playing it.

I didn't say it was the MOST of anything. Marathon runners and triathletes top just about everyone in the exhaustion department. What I said was it was an awesome combination of physical elements not found in any other sport.

I broke a fellow's leg playing soccer. I got a red card and a suspension. In football, I cracked a guy's clavicle. I got a pat on the back as they wheeled his sorry ass off the field.

Pablo, lace 'em up and play a down or two. Not many soccer players could take the pounding. And you still haven't addressed the thread topic, what's with the onfield cock gobbling?
 
i would make pretty decent linebacker 245 lbs and fast off the mark
i broke my fibular playing soccer
rugby union is a physical game 15 guys mauling and brawling in a scrum for 80 minutes , lots of broken fingers and jaws , a lot of anterior and cruciate ligament injuries as well
rugby league is played with 13 players , like nonstop american football all running no stopping unless a player is tackled the seconds before the ball is back in play again sin bins and blood bins , lots of missing teeth and broken noses
spear tackle is outlawed [normally two on one , defenders pick up man with the ball and dump him on his head , many paralysis with that.
you want rough try gaelic football , round ball can only be carried for 3 steps before being kicked , supreme skill carrying the ball and kicking it back inot hands every 3 steps
toughest of all is australian rules football , similar to gaelic football only played with a rugby ball [like an american football but a lot bigger] played on a cricket field an american football team would need a bus to get to the other side in their uniforms , played by two tribes that kick and punch fuck out of each other
nopadding just a vest shorts and big boots
as for the cock nibbling
an australian rugby player was banned this year for sticking his finger up his oponents arse during the scrum. in the scrum the players dont know who is behind him but he was caught on camera and found guilty of the offence.
i think it is because of all the time that aussies spend around sheep that does it
soccer is still the best by far


eat football sleep football drink cocacola

Oh, and balls. The Australians would make excellent American footballers if they could let go of their national ego.

Interesting idea there... cause if Americans could get rid of their national ego... they still wouldnt be great at Aussie Rules

I don't think we'll ever know since the most average NFL player makes more than entire Aussie ball teams. The financial incentive is squarely on your shoulders mate.

Granted, we don't have a mid-game Fosters breaks, so maybe that's why no one wants to play here.
 
It's true... you guys overpay em so much it wont ever really happen. Mind you when there was still guys who played professionally on both offence and defence in a variety of positions... maybe we could've seen a good player or two. But it wont happen now, not a chance.

Not so secret fact, in Australia noone drinks fosters... we export the shit.

The saddest thing about this whole thread is that writerdom seems to want to keep trying until he gets Gridiron to win... and he has the Falcons as his hometeam. Wouldn't that make you think soccer was better just be default?
 
Chef, the Falcons are my hometeam too and they're an embarassment to the NFL and Atlanta in general. Maybe WD is projecting his anger onto soccer. It's a pretty easy target. In fact, there's a Sports guy here named Jim Rome who includes the latest soccer disaster every other day. It's pretty entertaining. People don't act like that around Oz ball do they? Oz ball always seemed pretty exciting, in and of itself, therefore you didn't have to go around forming clubs of hooligans to tear down some foreigners' fish and chip shop. Soccer is very convenient to make fun of. Sort of like Todd.

Isn't the Aussie ball championship sponsored by Fosters? I seem to remember a big F on the field a few years ago. I like Fosters about like I like Budweiser. It's good when you want something ice ice cold and don't really want to taste much. I prefer Guiness or Harp or Sam Adams if I want a good beer that's not outrageous in price. Do you have Sam Adams in Oz?
 
No we dont have the thugs that feel the need to tear down a stadium after a game, or loot the nearest shopping district. But having said that... its not the smartest thing getting on a train with a carriageful of Collingwood (Think Vikings) supporters when you are a Carlton (Bears) fan.

The grand final is sponsored by a shitload of different people, Macdonalds were the ball sponsor for a couple of years. What happens with Fosters (CUB) is that Fosters sponsor all the stuff that gets broadcast overseas, but CUB will run ads for VB or Melbourne Bitter etc locally. We can get all the beers locally though Sam Adams and Harp are hard to find on tap anywhere.

If I drink beer I prefer to drink MY local stuff... brewery in my hometown does some awesome beer.

And yes the second ones says 11%
