No matter how funny, clear, or nuetral a definition is, for some reason, it will always get atleast one thumbs down.

I'm so fucking tired of people saying Football is "Soft Rugby". Now think about this, imagine if your watching a Rugby game, only that all the players had Motorcycle Helmets and VERY hard shoulder pads made of hard plastic. The tackles would be 10x as hard with these items on. While I will admit that these things DO make the tackler feel less pain when they tackle an opposing player, it DOES make the person recieving the tackle hurt A LOT more.

Not only that, but the game of Rugby contains no strategy whatsoever. While in Football, you have to memorize over 400+ plays and 17 Formations and you have to do it PERFECTLY. Like for instance, your a Wide Reciever and the QB says "42 red Right" you must know EXACTLY what rout your going to take, whether it's a hook, slant, straight, etc. None of that in Rubgy, you could be a complete dumbass and still be succesful in Rugby, that's not true with football.

Has the most dumbass fans who have the most twisted logic on this earth. Although not all their fans are like this, the one's I know do

An absolutely horrid "sport". The only strategy in this "sport" is setting formations and subbing substitutions. In football, you have to memorize hundereds of plays and formations. Like for instance, if your a WR and a QB says "42 red blue right" You must know EXACTLY where your going to be on the field, what rout to take, what player to block, etc. Absolutely no dumbasses are allowed in the big leagues, take Ryan Leaf for instance. This guy was a dumbass jock, and becuase of it, he turned out to be horrible in the NFL. You could be a dumbass jock in Soccer and you could still be succsesfull.

You are not required to have ANY upperbody strength in Soccer, and the only "injury" these soccer players have are sprained ankles, and you know how they got that? By being tripped! Boo fuckin' hoo, be a man.

The refferies are fucking sad. There calls are based on OPINION, what the hell is up with that? Like for instance in the world cup, one american guy got tripped by an italian, and the refs shows a red card, even though he TOUCHED THE BALL and IT WAS THE FORST FUCKING FOUL OF THE GAME. The refferies pull out these "cards" on impulse. Basicly, the only reason America did not get past the first round was becuase we lost that guy and we had to settle for a tie. In Football, if a referie calls someone out (because there are no fouls because football isn't for pussies) He ALWAYS checks with another Ref to see if he agrees. And even if they missed a call (Which they hardly do) the COACH (Not Manager) can tell the refferies if he thinks they did, and they ACTUALLY listen.

Another reason Soccer Sucks, is because of the point system. Do you know why Hockey got rid of these "ties"? Becuase having ties in a game are STUPID! So why dosn't soccer have overtime to decide the tie? Becuase soccer feels that it has to be so boring that it should have 0-0 ties. I mean, atleast when your going to football, baseball, basketball, or hockey game you KNOW there is going to be a score, it's guerenteed. And this goal-differential is also an embarrismant. Imagine if your goalkeeper was having a bad game and you lost 5-0. It would take over a month just to break even! Like when the US lost 3-0 in the World cup, but then played VERY well the next two games. We didn't get passed the first round, because of that 3-0 loss. The only way we could have gotton past is if we won a game 3-0. It wouldn't matter if we did win the next two games, because we would still need a goal differential of 0 to break even. What a messed up system!

And yes, after all that there is still something wrong with soccer: Everything else. The game itself lasts for only 90 minutes, a football game lasts for 210 minutes. The game of soccer contains passing the ball over and over and over and over again and some scoring. In Football, EVERY play is exciting, whether it be a passing play or running play. In soccer, the ONLY thing exciting are the goals, in football, EVERY aspect of it is exciting, whether it be a long pass, amazing catch, broken tackle, hard hit, interception, long run, sack, or even the time inbetween plays.

Without it, we'd be living dull, dull lives. Sports were invented to get people away from all the turmoil and stress they indure in their lifes, it made monday a GOOD day (Monday Night Football) and gave you a reward at the end of the day, because after you got home from work/school, you could watch the ballgame. Sports are very exciting and entertaining to watch on TV. Playing Sports are also very fun, and allows you to let out your agressing (Football) and makes you practice team work (Basketball) and Sportsmanship (Baseball) Whoever dosn't think sports are a good thing in our society is incorrect. Sports teach you great life skills, and allow people to relax in their stressfull lifes.

A known fact about American Football is that it is Better than Soccer, Because in every country that has there own football code, football is considered better than soccer. Canada, Austraila, and America, all have both popular football and soccer leagues, but all of these countrys don't like soccer as much as there football codes. Therfour, it is a fact that if football was popular in the UK or in Asia as in the US, Canada, or Austraila, Football would be considered better than soccer.

Football > Soccer

The Greatest Game on Earth. The only sport to incorporate strategy, strength, speed, and stanima all in one game.
