My favorite thing about soccer vs football threads is football fans say that soccer is boring, soccer fans say that football fans are stupid and don't expand their horizons. Always makes me laugh.

Both great sports that require incredible skill, athleticism, and discipline.

Really? I bet lots of people care about that.

Thanks for sharing.

hey anything i can do to destroy your silly premise:thumbsup

these threads are right up there with gun regulation threads.

Awesome!!!

not.

Viability of the EU threads are even better.

No shit huh!?

I've watched fucking Superbowls, and you see someone score a touchdown, the camera goes on the crowd, and all you see if some assholes giving each other "high-fives", watching that they don't spill their extra large coke in the process. :1orglaugh


Here's a Scotland goal vs France:




HIGH FIIIIIIVE !!!!!!! :1orglaugh

LOL. I'm not sure how you can compare a Super Bowl to a World Cup victory?

what's with the men in skirts and high fives today??

better than the hugging and kissing that goes on in soccer celebrations anyway ;)

Id beg to differ

- Rugby

Just a mouth-guard between you and a 6ft 5, 300 lb, marauding No.8.

We don't do pads in rugby (unless you count the bandages ;)

you smoke crack.

I highly respect rugby players. Now THERE IS A SPORT:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Football is the more violent sport. Rugby and hockey are right up there also.

With all the protection they wear, I'd like to think they take some hard hits for the money they get. Fact is, Rugby players take harder hits, get paid less money and are overall thought of as lesser sportsmen, but they don't bitch or cry and threaten league lock outs! :)

I'd sit around and watch infomercials before soccer... easily

And the foreskin ones. They are good too.

Soccer would be more exciting if there were landmines scattered around the field...

congrats 1st time u make a 2 pages thread :thumbsup

On this nick?

Simple, i was comparing crowd reaction at both. You'd think a TD at a Superbowl (the biggest game of them all) would send the fans crazy. Yet all you see is some dudes giving high fives.

The clip i posted was of a goal in a World Cup group qualifying game. It shows the fans going nuts, because it means something to them.


Like i posted already though, it is probably something to do with the fact that Americans wouldn't want to drop their burger and coke! :winkwink:

And yes, these threads are particularly shite...

Football is not anywhere near hockey. Hockey players play with broken ribs, wrists, feet. Football players sit out with sprained toe.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Agreed, we need to hear the fans again.
i guess you have to had played the sport to fully like it.
