the thing i find with football(soccor), is that if you have a bad game its bad... at least with american sports if you have a bad game its still watchable. i prefer basketball myself, so much skill involved, all the set plays etc. and the fact they constantly run up and down. its like in a football match when the commentators say "this is more like a basketball game!" thats when you know a football game is exciting😉
in regards to american football, i think its more specialised. in rugby you have all the specific players, but they stay on the pitch. in american football you have an offensive side and a defensive side, which gets confusing and means players have less all round skill. the padding is need though, in rugby you only tackle the player with the ball... in american football, u tackle any poor sod in your way. i'm not a fan of rugby, i shall be honest. but i do respect it
Soccer is the best but i got something to say and its kinda long:
SOCCER IS NOT GAY
SOCCER IS NOT GAY
SOCCER IS NOT GAY
SOCCER IS NOT GAY
I heard everywhere and Im friggin sick of it. its not a pointless sport and its not gay. I think all the people who think that are losers and retards. I play soccer and i aint gay. People are ignorant these days and Im mad about it. One day people will find out the true meaning about soccer. When I play in internationals one day, I will change the look of soccer permanently.
PERIOD END OF STORY!!!!!!

american football is borin cos there are to many stoppages..if the game flowed a bit more like rugby then it would be better
it's funny when people even spell the bstard name wrong..... soccer, not soccor......I pity the fools.
I have watched many a bad game of soccer/basketball/rugby even the great and wonderful sport of football. A bad game is a bad game, is a bad game thus crap to watch.
Padding I just don't get. No rucks, no blocking in the back, why padding/helmets?
I'm a huuuge football ...erm soccer 4 our american friends ...fan! I love watching the premier league (that's the english league) and the 'Seria A' (Italian league)
my fav club is ARSENAL!!! they' ve finished 2nd this year and they have won the FA CUP which is the oldest cup in the world 🙂
another reason why I love Arsenal is this one: hehe
he plays in the midfield (usually on the right side). He's swedish and wears the number 8. His name is Fredrik Ljungberg and he has been a CK unerwear model for 2 years.!
This is the longest post i have ever written! cheers!
Loud and clear, texas killah. I myself love Henry and Arsene Wenger. I haven't been watching football long enough to engage in your debate, but the things that got me interested in football are its artistry and flow. Been watching basketball forever and was crazy about it at one point, but I never quite got the same kind of satisfaction as when I watch a great football match (of recent Liverpool vs. AC Milan in the Champs League final).

Team I wish won the world cup 2006 and i wish to be in: Peru or USA
they have won the FA CUP which is the oldest cup in the world smile
actually no it isn't because its not the same trophy
the oldest trophy in existence is the Scottish FA cup which has been around and is still used today for 132 years
the englsih FA cup you're refering to stopped being used in 1909 and even then that one was a replacement after it got stolen
