      Re: World cup vs BF2

      People who say soccer is stupid or lame have never actually watched a game. I used to think the same way, then my daughters started to play, I learned the rules...and I think it's a much harder game and just a physical as American Football.

      Yes, just as physical. Without the pads.

      I spent all day Saturday watching a u9 girls indoor tournie....I thought I was watching a Hockey game with all the checking and bumping going on. Some of the best games I've ever seen at any level.

      If the World Cup is on I'll watch it. BF2 I can play whenever.

        American football is adverts punctuated by 10 secs play and 5 mins inane rubbish from the commentators while the crowd gets all excited for abolutely no reason.

        They don't even get any crowd trouble or nice sing-a-longs like "the referees a w****r" come on.

            No i still wouldnt like it it stops and starts way to much and you have more than one team on each side.

              That's what buggs the hell out of me with all American sports they invent a sport have a tournament some team wins it and THEN they call there self's world champions. How in the hell can you be a world champion if 99.9% of the world doesnt even compete.

                      No brainer fer me... I kinda sorta loath the majority of TV, so I've gone without any sort of cable TV for years. Besides, if it ain't porn I ain't inta spectator sports.

                        I will be playing BF2, not much of a soccer fan.

                          Not a soccer fan either, I would rather do pretty much anything, besides maybe watch baseball then to watch soccer.

                            Yes'sir...F1 for sure. I wish it were more popular in the US and I didn't have to TiVo the GP's, but I still watch it :)

                              I really can't pick between the two options.

                              I will probably watch all the England games, but play BF2 like usual. A football game is only 90 mins ya know

                                What he said. I HAVE watched soccer, I've tried to like it...but it's terribly boring. Not enough scoring, not enough action. It's just a bunch of guys kicking a ball around to me...

                                American Football requires strategy. You can't just kick the ball around. You have to line up, send people in motion, try and trick the opposing defense, get them off balance. It's the nuances, the little things, that make American Football great. Also, to compare Rugby and American Football is dumb. Yah, sure Rugby guys play with no pads *yawn* big deal. I have seen plenty of rugby, and never once did I see a 235lb, solid rock of a man LAUNCH HIMSELF at a guy and completely level him. You see that every day in football when a cornerback or a safety levels a wide-out. If you didn't wear pads in American Football you would be killed, plain and simple. Ever seen a linebacker hit a guy so hard he knocks him clean out? Saw it twice during the playoffs. Impacts so loud you could hear the "crack"....and that's with pads on.

                                The "stop and start" of the game is the thinking part of the game. That's why American Football is great. It's not just raw strength, or how fast you can run, or how far you can kick the ball...it's about how well you recognize coverage, how well you game-plan and scheme. It's just as much thought as it is pure athletisism.

                                Anyways, I think the World Cup is cool, and I respect that people dig soccer...but don't hate on American Football when you obviously know little to nothing about it. (Not YOU as in the quoted poster, just 'you' in general).
