50 soccers

what I've noticed:

Rugby players wear no padding/armor.

In American Football, they stop after every few seconds of play (or after every few yards) to stand around, doing nothing... taking a break? I don't know. In Rugby, it seems like they don't stop beating on eachother until somebody loses consciousness or breaks a leg.

It's easier to do all that hugging and grab each others balls without it, Thats what the sport is all about.

It's still soccer.

LOL Buff, forgive my brief silliness in other thread, truly good to see you around.

Yes, its still soccer. :thumbsup

Should be called Handball imho.....then again that name is taken and dominated by women :winkwink:

I call it soccer because Group X does:

Men watch Football, Queers watch Soccer.

The reason futbol/football/soccer is the most watched sport is because all the poor countries grow up with it being the easiest to play; you can pretty much play anywhere and just need a ball (and feet).

That said, it's a sport WHICH ACTUALLY ENCOURAGES faking injuries and crying like a little girl (to draw an advantage), which I think pretty much sums it up.

I don't want to watch grass grow while a bunch of men flop around on the ground, hitting the net and forcing a save one out of every ten shots. I'll stick to hockey, thank you very much.

:love2suck

stop using gay UK slang and we'll stop calling it football...deal?

I played rugby in the Marines... broke my knee sideways.

The average hit in American Football is a 100x harder than the hardest hit in Rugby. It only makes logic, no two humans could run into each other that hard without pads.... so thinking rugby is a harder game simply means you have never played American Football before.

Soccer is just boring... like watching basketball but on a bigger playing field.

i think that settles it...

and the most boring sports ever is baseball - 3 or 4 hours of someone trying to hit a ball and an occasional run every 15 minutes

Lineup... like what the police do for people to identify someone

Oh fuck I hate soccer/ football whatever you want to call it ..sooooo much

Hockey owns all..

ooohhh snap!

Am I the only one who loves all these sports? I was never one for rugby, living in canada it's not all that big out here, but still respect the game as a whole.

In my experience there are tough bad ass people in any sport that i've played, from boxing to football to even slow pitch so saying one is more manly than the other is more based on how the way you are playing it... if soccer seems girly to you maybe you should man up a bit and stop playing it that way ;)

THIS!!!!

its like watching paint dry. going to a game and getting drunk is ok, but on tv, I'd rather watch soccer.

Which is hotter?
Soccer moms or Football moms?

BTW any one want to give me an offer of foottball.com ?

You are still a tool.

41 days to the World Cup!!!

I forgot the question :helpme

You guys realize this thread is 6 years old, right?

I call it soccer and either way its the most boring sport on the planet. Even Golf is more exciting.

I love when a player gets hauled off the field on a stretcher only to come out sprinting minutes later to re enter the game, sweet sport

Agreed!!

I lose interest in a baseball match after 5mins. "oh look, he threw the ball, and the other dude missed it. Oops he did it again. Oh and again"

Pish !!!

Soccer rules, rugby sucks! heheh

FOOTBALL

http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Page...2/football.jpg

6 years later I still feel the same about this --- I just don't care what people want to call it. Soccer, football, whatever. Why let what other people say drive you crazy? To me it's SOCCER. When I was a kid and signed up for this sport the signup sheet said "SOCCER TRYOUTS". If it had said "football" it would have been an entirely different sport and I'd have had to spend a shitload of money for all the equipment necessary to play it.

But if I'm talking to people from EU, UK, etc, I'll refer to it as football. I don't see why the need for any hangups about it. Who cares?

I do know I'm very much looking forward to the FIFA world cup. Not sure which country I'll be rooting for this go-round, but I'm pretty sure Canada won't be in it. lol

i disagree, basketball is the most boring sport ever. Two tribes of freaks run up the court bouncing a ball, pop it in a hoop then run down to the other end and do the same. repeat endlessly.


BTW, in answer to the original question, its football not soccer and its the greatest sport ever invented.

I agree with CDSmith 100%

I don't care what you call the game I know as Football. If you call it soccer I'm not offended.

So if we call "the boot" of a car just that, I don't care that you call it "the trunk". I don't need you to change anything about it, period. I accept the fact that you take our language to make it your own. It's evolutionary, so whatever. I got over that a long time ago. People here will fight over anything, and say just about anything to justify that fight. It's pretty sad.

As long as you respect that it's the worlds most popular sport, and that the vast majority of the world call it Football then we're good. Diss on that and you can GFY.

Thanks for listening.:thumbsup

i love soccer

It can't be a "sport" if you don't use your hands. Basketball is boring? LOL

I love Australian rules football. It's so cool it's named after something yelled during a Black Sabbath concert.

"Ozzy Rules" football. Get it... :)

Sounds like the word starts with the word "sock."

Mock it all you want but I love watching handegg.

When they make a forward pass is it called an eggtoss?

When a touchdown is scored and the guy spikes the egg on the ground in celebration should he get penalized for "scrambling"?

LOL, and is a stolen pass a poached egg?
