American Football 7 Euro Football Nil

Euro Football is unwatchable. A Close comparison is women's basketball.
Thankfully, Neither is a viewing option very often in the states.

American football is unwatchable because most of the time nothing is happening.
There's way too many stoppages, no real spirit in the stadiums.
Barely any skill required, just physical ability and the odd kick or throw.

fucking awful sport

I disagree. "no spirit in the stadiums", you have no idea what you are talking about. "just physical ability", who is this kid?

proper football requires far greater skill, you can't argue with that- it just does.

How old are you? Where are you from? Judging by your post you are not very educated. I just want to know if it is worth argueing with you.

Don't waste your time arguing with that clown. If you look at his posts, they're mostly negative in nature and he's always putting down anything American.

but proper football does require more skill as the ball is at your feet 99% of the time and not in your hands.

No.

A different skill, but not necessarily more skill.

I would say less skill is required.

 

[Ross051288]

I would say less skill is required.

why?
you use your hands all the time to pick stuff up and so you have more control over something.
much harder to use your feet, or head, or chest.

Pass Blocking, run blocking, passing plays, running plays, zone vs man coverage, biting on a pass to intercept it. Soccer is just kicking aball. There are 11 people ton the field, 1 person has the ball, and he passes it to 1 other person. In American Football, if 1 person blows an assignment the whole play is trash, in Euro football if one person fucks up and he is not the one with the ball, it is of little issue.

Nope.

BTW, not saying tehre is no skill in soccer, just that there is less than in American Football.

watch the video, the skill and ball control (which you do not get anything like in american football) is incredible.

is that doesn't convince you then there's something not right in your head.

 

[Dale Mabry]

It doesn't, besides, that is one soccer player, not all of them. Also, the goal is too large, you can be off by more than a foot and still score, in hockey if you are off by more than a few inches the shot doesn't even get on net.

Is there skill in spelling?

so by your reckoning hockey goals are just a few inches wide.
use your brain- football uses a bigger pitch and has a bigger ball

 

[Doublebase]

This arguement stinks. Its like argueing with a second grader.

 

[tucker01]

Zactly....who cares it is soccer

 

[Dale Mabry]

My point is it is not all that hard to score a goal in soccer once on net, the person trying to score has the advantage. It is alot easier to kick a ball towards a net knowing that you won't get hit than it is to try to get around someone 60+ lbs heavier than you are knowing that they are going to drive you into the dirt. Plus, you can use your hands in soccer. I would say soccer is more skillful if you had to catch the ball with your legs and run down the field on your hands. Then and only then.
