    Football (the proper game) Vs Fag American football

    Interested to hear your points of view regards which is better,

    My arguement for Football (soccer)

    1) Football is played in Every country in the world.
    2)World cup final is the most broadcasted sporting event in the world
    3) Champions league has teams from all over europe.

    American football is big in ONE country.
    It's stop and start every couple of seconds.

    It's not football's fault that Americans haven't embraced soccer in the way the rest of the world have, you have no good clubs that could compete with any from Europe or South america.

    Unlease your fury at me Americans.

    Football (the proper game) Vs Fag American football

    I'm not American and have never been to America but I am a fan of American Football. I'm going to take the opposing side and pick apart your argument.

    1) American Football is called AMERICAN football for a reason haha
    2) It's broad casted only once every 4 years so people hold out for it more, but I'll give ya that more people do watch it
    3) American Football has teams from all over America, its the same thing basically

    American Football is all over the world, I know a few people that follow it in New Zealand.

    Yes it is stop and start, but its comparable to chess in that manner. It's more of a game of strategy as you have to ponder what play you will call (what piece you will move in chess) for the situation to outsmart the opponent. This can't be done in a split second because the coaches need to contact the quarterback and then he needs to update the rest of the team as to what their assignments are. Not to mention the fact that constantly sprinting to the line for the next play would be next to impossible.

    Lastly, Americans don't have decent soccer clubs because they don't play soccer. America has over 300m people living there. You are ignorant if you truly believe that if they committed to soccer that they wouldn't be good at it.

    I FULLY agree, if America really wanted to compete in soccer they could. But they don't tend to produce many massive talents simply because the interest isn't there.

    I've tried to watch American football a couple of times and just couldn't get into it!

    The champions league final occurs once a year and i'd bet that it pulls in more viewers than the superbowl, yet i might be wrong, I'm simply guessing on the fact it's massively followed in every European country as well as american south america, africa and australia plus much of china. There has been massive investment in Soccer throughout Russia Africa and the far east and middle east therefore it will only thrive. American Football will never be a global sport. Hence my argument :p

    Yeah quite a few people I know also can't get into American Football because they are used to fluid sports without regular stoppages.

    According to the internet you are correct with the number of viewers for the champions league finals being higher than the superbowl. I'd say I'm pretty safe to assume that American Football will definitely be one of the biggest, if the not the highest grossing sport in the world however in terms of revenue. In all the stoppages there is a lot of advertising and all that stadiums are always sold out (even at the college level), and a short advert during the superbowl half time show costs several million.

    I agree however that american football won't be a global sport due to the fact that it costs so much, not for the fact of stoppages, etc. You have to buy gear for the full 53 man team, the stadiums cost a shit load, etc. Some other countries would have the money to throw around on things like that but I doubt New Zealand would be able to at a national level while making it an "official" sport if you know what I mean.

    Hmmm i hadn't considered that, american shows put hundreds of adverts in and i suppose America has a massive fan pool for each team be it college high school and pro. Advertisement in Soccer isn't half as profitable.

    I suppose if i watched some America football in a stadium or with some fans i might feel a bit differently about it?

    Does American football have finals such as the FA cup, Capital one cup in English football? Both of these will pull huge viewings (especially FA cup). Or is it just a league with the Super Bowl.

    Yeah there are huge finances tied up with it. There's extreme pressure even from High School with people who are good players being pushed on with scholarships and what-not from Colleges. One college football coach has a yearly pay of $5.5 million.

    Maybe that would work out, I feel that if you give it time and force yourself to sit down for a whole game and force yourself to get into it you will have the grounds to make a decision on whether you like it or not. Knowing the rules also helps. The superbowl is on in two weeks time, you should tune into that maybe?

    American football basically works like this:
    There are two divisions - NFC and AFC
    Each division has a West, North, East and South part of it.
    At the end of playing 16 games if you are winning your region (for example, AFC East) then you go to the playoffs and you get seeded so you only have to play 2 playoff games. I believe that if you come 2nd in your region then you also make it to the playoffs but you have to play 3 games instead of 2. The first round of playoffs is the people that came second in the regions, and then it progresses from there. Basically, it always comes down to a NFC team vs an AFC team in the Superbowl which kinda sucks, but owell. I believe its basically the same system for most other American sports, like basketball.

    That does sound like an appealing way to play,

    The champions league is my favorite format, 12 a league format with top two progressing to a knock out competition.

    I might just pick a team and put some money on it.. Might help me get a little more into it ;)

    I just don't like that the "overall winner" can be a mediocre team as long as they make it into the playoffs and then play well. For example, the team that won the superbowl last year went 9-7 in the regular season (wins-losses).

    Yeah there is nothing like money to make you get into it and start freaking out if your team is winning or losing. Best of luck choosing though, both teams are looking really good in terms of both offense and defense.

    I have to correct you in that.

    The Uefa Champions League is a good format but not all leagues get the two top teams, some of the leagues get top 3 + 1, +1 being a team that has to go through qualifying stages.

    Here's an article on wikipedia on how it works, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League#Qualification

    No sorry i meant the format on qualification through to the knockout. I am aware of the qualification for the CL, even winning cups I.E FA and Capital one will put you into the qualifying stages

    You're very biased in your views so it's a very unfair comparison, I live in the UK and play for a football club and have played since I was 4, it's my favorite sport by miles but that doesn't mean that I hate all other sports. I enjoy playing Madden on 360, and have loosely followed the sport for 5 years now, although I can't say I equally enjoy both, because that isn't true, I certainly do enjoy playing/watching both sport.

    How about we all just hate on Cricket? It makes no sense. They're 100 people on the field and you just run back and forth. Haha.

    Either way I am not a huge fan of either sport, it's hockey all the way. You get the violence of football and the speed of soccer (Eurofag Football :p), and then fights and people on teams that only train to fight with the other team.

    I couldn't agree more!!!! Cricket is the worst sport known to manking.

    Yeah hockey or Ice hockey as we'd call it because we do have hockey played on astro turf, is a cool sport. Is "Football" really dangerous? Why do you have to wear so many pads? Rugby players have only a gum shield and for some fannies a scrum cap? (although some players have taken to wearing very thin body armour)...

    I understand when you ACTUALLY tackle in football, it is at a fast pace, but Rugby is constant, nowhere near the amount of breaks and from what i understand it's a similar tackling process with similar rule...

    If you like fights you should be a soccer fan in europe. Just go to a game haha, It kicks off over litterally nothing. Do you get much singing/chanting in football games? Soccer is constant.

    P.s Yeah :p I was only trying to cause an arguement. Not any offence

    Haha, i agree it's stupid... I don't enjoy the fighting side of it, but there is no rush quite like the banter between the fans, being in the stands and chanting shit at each other. Only some fans like the fighting side in it.

    Don't be a cunt, I was giving my opinion, just like you asked for about which was better. I am on the side of football, but was just making the point that it's quite biased, so there is no need to be a patronizing asshole..

    Anyways I agree with Nero, Cricket is the most boring sport I have ever played or watched, it takes like 20 minutes for something interesting to happen..


    e: Yeah that banter between the fans singing at each other is priceless, who do you support?
