I think one difference is that in soccer you can pace yourself but in the NFL you are expected to go hard every single play. No one can slag off or could fuck the whole play up. Now in basketball, you can breathers all the time. Sometimes you'll one player that can dismantle a team.Originally Posted by Rat Faced
All the other defensive players have to do in some instances is just stay near the man they're guarding and other offensive players sometimes watch a person like Michael Jordan do most of the work.
Speaking of timeouts....I really hate the rule that allows a team to advance the ball past half-court on a timeout (under a minute). They put this rule in to make games closer for last second shots but it seems unfair.
Ironically........it does make games exciting I'm sorry to say. Still unfair......especially if hurts my team.

1. Because that's the way it's played. No.Originally Posted by JunkBarMan
2. Because the player leaving the field does not constitute the game stopping. Done.
3. Statement, does not require an answer.
i disagree there. Defensive positioning can be taught but it's much more instinctive then attacking off-the-ball runs. Strikers just have the simple job of running into spaceOriginally Posted by manker
also didn't they consider splitting a football match into quarters to increase advertising time and cause all sorts of mathematical problems?

Please don't post some rubish such as this without some sort of factual data backing it up.Originally Posted by maebach
What is the point of this? Are you trying to compare team prices based on the fact American Football, for example, has timeouts and some are based on selling ads and I justified that by saying somone has to pay for it?Originally Posted by manker
Come now, last time I checked soccer players were running around with company sponsers all over their jerseys. Take a look around the arena and what do you see on that barrier used to keep all the fanatics from killing the opposition?
It's the same result, just done differently. If you want to argue timeouts can make a sport not as exciting or however you would like to state it, then yeah I agree with that statement.
I just don't see the basis for this argument, sorry.
Besides, if there wasn't money to made in this game with these sponsors, I am sure the Malcolm Glazer wouldn't own both an NFL team and Manchester United, or parts of them.
Yeah I admit it was a bit much.Originally Posted by busyman
There wasn't a need for the backhanded comments made about Americans either. Obviously those are allowed as it's the norm with some people, unlike British bashing.
Please reread this post and realise who is the shortsighted one, and then come back with something other then obvious American attacks.Originally Posted by peerzy
If you want to bash American's sports, go right ahead.
I don't have any argument with anyone in any threads, other then maybe this one.
If manker and I don't see eye to eye, that's ok, and as an adult, (take notes kids), I don't hold grudges. People mistake arguments for hatred or dislike, which is not true.
Your correlation between the hurricane thread and this one is way off track, but keep thinking as you like.
Just for the record, a touchdown isn't 7 points, it's 6. A team has an option of going for 1 extra point or 2 after they score in the endzone.
A field goal is indeed 3 points, so I'll give ya that one.
One last question, what's the point of the "Real" before some of the names?
Are there "Fake" Madrid teams out there?
Seems stupid, but with how obsessive many people can be about the sport, it doesn't strike me outside the realm of possibility.
Nahhh your shittin' me. You like switchin' my words around to make a new sentence?Originally Posted by Peerzy

So unless your a young budding Frank Lampard or Wayne Rooney is you hit it from 20 yards chances are the keeper is going to get something on it, if not catch it.
With no other defensive players, basic mechanics of soccer are very easy to pick up which lends to it's popularity and longevity. Also there really isn't any special equipment needed to play.

'Real(royal)' in Real Madrid is given to them because they were blesed by King Alfonso XIII of Spain June of 1920.
I love wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Madrid
Funny thread!![]()
this should be in funny stuff...
Here are my points.
1. 95% of basketball players are very very tall.
2. "Real" means Royal.
3. Soccer skills, even offensive skills, can be taught.. Natural talent IS important, but Brazilians don't come out of the womb and can immediately "step-over" as soon as they can walk.
4. "Added Time Multi-Ball" is not such a bad idea when you think about it..![]()
I totally ignored it when YOU brought it up, the fact that someone has to pay for the huge salaries, because it's not an important point. My comments there were chit-chat to RF and I drew no conclusion from them, I had recently read a financial report on Chelsea, so knew their payroll and guessed at the other three. Just passing the time.Originally Posted by JunkBarMan
That's not the basis of my argument. You know that because I had written it - yet chose to ignore all my other remarks to focus on a post I made to a different member. Poor show.
My point is that time-outs would be completely unnecessary in football and I think that the time-outs in basketball cause unnecessary fragmentation to the game, from the fans point of view.
I also intimated that soccer is the most popular game in the world so to call it boring is indicative of your own non-appreciation of the game rather than the game itself.
