Jupiter I actually played soccer for a few years before I was too busy to do so (playing hockey year round and swimming). My family is all english, dad born there, they all root for ManU. I follow it, just not religiously like other sports.

You guys put on a predictable show though. Thanks for providing my amusement on a rainy afternoon.

Dude, forum foul. There's never an appropriate time for a dawson's creek reference.

Just the same though, cool story bro

MMN, get out while you still can. J_Merce isn't in here for a serious debate.

It's an easy decision between American football and REAL football though. Watch a bunch of guys run around for 8 seconds before resting for another 30 (and that's not counting time-outs), or watch two 45-minute periods of non-stop action (unless you're watching West Ham)? Seems easy to me.

It'd be entertaining to watch an American football player try to take part in a soccer game. Dude would need to be substituted within 5 minutes.

I was hoping these typical responses would sprout up. Thanks for not disappointing soccer people.

I can legit debate all day. They are COMPLETELY different games. Both highly respectable in their own right. Soccer fans say the exact same things about football ALL THE TIME, like football players are nothing more than fat unathletic meatheads.

To the comment of "soccer is glorified keepaway" - it is, in the way American Football is a glorified game of catch. I love both sports (good old English football more, but my username shows I'm far from an NFL hater) but it's true.
