Basically, what I'm reading here is that there are a lot of people that were brought up watching a specific sport and are not completely knowledgable on the others in question on this thread. I get it already... those of you that grew up playing US football think it's the best thing since sliced bread. I like playing/watching football as well. When I was young, I looked to my roots and got involved with soccer. My family is from all over Europe(Wales, England, Germany, Netherlands) so we were into soccer. This didn't make me hate football and after learning the rules and history I played in high school. Something you football guys might want to know is soccer is 50 times rougher and tougher than football. I spent most of my years playing hockey and I'd have to say soccer is tougher than hockey too. Minimal pads, running the whole time, too many collisions, etc. All and all, I think you guys need to watch the game and try to embrace it before you come into the thread and knock it down. There are several knocks that could be said about US football but I don't see too many people getting into that. Please try to respect other people's passions instead of pissing on them. I'm sure you wouldn't want the tables to be turned.
