I hope the US wins the World Cup someday, just so we can make a big show out of how much we don't care.

This is a US website. In the US it's soccer. The end. If you guys want to start f13.de feel free.  Our house our rules motherfuckers!  Oh and simply: crap. Politics Forum, now! |

Guys, I played Soccer for, oh, I don't know, 12 years, hardcore for about 7 of them.
It's called football.
I've shattered knees, trashed backs (including my own), thrown out shoulders, broken bones. All without pads.
American Football instantly became a pussy sport the moment they added pads. Without them, it's just rugby for morons.
And I'm pretty damn proud to be an American.
I know most of you are trying to be funny, but the soccer <---> football thing is just weak.
PS Seriously, pads are for pussies. Put any greco roman up against an american highschool/college wrestler with his stupid fucking little helmet. Or you could take the toughest football player and put him on the field with a second string rugby player. It would be ugly. The football player wouldn't know which way was up. And I don't even like fucking rugby!

Um...football players wear pads because they are 6'6" 250lb freaks of nature that run 40 yards in 4.5 seconds. It's basic physics, mass times velocity and all that. It's like small vehicles colliding.

It's like small vehicles colliding. Right. Exactly. The pads are to keep them from getting hurt. They're pussies. Maybe if they'd stop getting sumo-sized and start getting lean and mean they could lose the pads and stand a chance against a bunch of drunk rugby players. |

Yeah, sorry schild. Pro football players would destroy pro rugby players. The impact levels between the two sports just isn't comparable. That's not to knock rugby, which is good fun violence as well, but its just different, both in terms of player type and hitting types. Hell, Teddy Roosevelt fucking threatened to ban the sport in 1905 if things didn't change because there were 19 deaths alone that year.

Pads in football serve the same purpose as boxing gloves in boxing. Sure they offer protection but what they really do is let them hit each other a lot, and I mean A LOT, harder than without them.

Pro football players would destroy pro rugby players. This is like that one time I talked with a bunch of people about Mike Tyson in his prime being in the UFC (GREAT CONVERSATION TOPIC, K). There were, of course, stipulations. And there would be here. Would the football players be in pads? If not, I'm pretty sure Rugby players would thrash the shit out of them. If they were in pads, it might be a different story because Rugby players have no idea of what that's like. But it's all largely irrelevant since real football players kick a ball into a net. OLE, OLE, OLE OLE. |

You can't compare because obviously either side is going to get worked playing the each others different sports, since neither of them actually play it. I'm just talking about pure contact/impact violence (pads or no pads). Football players overall just tend to be way bigger, while also being able to propel themselves really god damn fast. Rugby is alot more about long term endurance instead of short bursts of extreme athleticism/violence, which leads to a different build type. Also, rugby players usually just drag each other to the ground instead of splattering their opponents with as much force as possible (exceptions do happen obviously). It has actually only gotten worst in that regard in modern times, because of exactly what Trippy said. They are both a protection and an enabler. They make great weapons actually. But it's all largely irrelevant since real football players kick a ball into a net. OLE, OLE, OLE OLE. Your absolutely right, they certainly do:  |

Hey Margalis, Schild disagrees with you. Should he start f13.de too?

We tried to bring that into the argument actually. It was a good talk. Teleku, kickers kick a ball into a net. Not (american) football players. Kickers are waif like cheerleaders and pussy like Pamela Anderson. But you knew that and just went for the joke. |

Kicking a ball into a net actually happens more often in football than in soccer.

A number of washed up AFL (Australian Football League) players end up kicking for NFL teams because.. well.. it seem you guys aren't so hot at the whole, kicking things with the foot business. But that's makes sense, because your sport is Football (Yeah! Hardcore!) not umm.. throwingandcatchingandrunningintoeachother-ball.I thought those kids were dying because they had some strategy where they ran at each other in 'v' formations, thus ruining the guy at the apex. Now that's a game I want my kids playing! I hear Russian roulette is in the next olympics too. Kicking a ball into a net actually happens more often in fusball than in soccer.

Aren't you supposed to edit out the part where I mention American Football when you try for that *zing*? Like this: Teleku, kickers kick a ball into a net. Kickers are waif like cheerleaders and pussy like Pamela Anderson. Oh. Yow. Still doesn't work. Since no one in real football is called or designated as a "kicker."  |

In response to my kicking into a net joke, you responded by calling kickers pussy's. Also that they were not (American) football players (thus fake). So I responded by saying your right, only the pussy fake football players kick a ball into a net. It's not that hard to follow.  |

It's how I waste time at 3 in the morning (and all day long for that matter. Had nothing to do all day except waste time on the internet/this thread). Speaking of which, what are we all still doing up late, trading stupid comments back and forth with each other?

How about American Footbal players vs Gaelic Football players? I'd pay money to see that. |
