First - You can use any part of your body apart from your arms / hands - unless you're in goal - so learning to use the most unused parts of the body is learning a new skill. i.e. chest, head.

Second. No there aren't many goals scored - that's why if it's 0-0 after 80 nail biting minutes, - the under dog side my snatch a winning goal and upset the form - thus making the game more unpredictable, leading to more upsets in a league where all games are very close.

That makes for excitement.

IS THE WORST SPORT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Said already, the worst and most stupid sport is Baseball. I will not change my mind because a game in 1986 and another one in 1993 had (maybe) some decent action. And by the way, we have world championship of any retarded sport, maybe even "who can spit for a greater distance", if you understand me.

I cant understand you americans, you like too much of being different... Use farenheit and yards, for example, are some stupid things I cant find any reason, beyond being different. Its like love a ridiculous sport like Baseball, when no one in the world likes it. Again, if someone that is not american like this game, please show yourself, and give me a reason.

On other hand, if you really dont understand how someone can like Baseball, post here, too. Lets see the major opinion.

Football rocks...MAN UTD

I think the americans don't like football(soccer) because their teams are crap...

American Football seems ok, but why's it called American Football? There's only 1 person who comes on occasionly to kick it. Shouldn't it be American Handball?

In Football....

you wear padding, and body armor so you dont get hurt. You have timeouts cause your so scared you need to regroup......and u still lose.

In Futbol....

You take your pain like a man. no protection cause it is a hinderance. no timeouts because you are mentally prepared, no matter what the situation.

Futbol wins, and i am american

thank-you

I can personally attest to unpredictability. Last night, my indoor team played a team we had beaten earlier in the season and lost 8-6. We were ranked higher, but we just couldn't take momentum we had gained several times to take the lead.

how many countries take part in the world series of baseball?

how many countries take part in the FIFA (football) world cup?

(not just the finals, but the qualifying)

while I'm at it...

Football is called football because the players use their feet...

American Football is called football because.......

I've tried to watch American sports and get it, but I just can't

I beg to differ, the US (MLS) soccer teams are not nearly as good as European teams. But, soccer is growing in popularity in the US and our teams are getting better. (But we also had some bad luck at the world cup this time.)

everything that you said is absolutely true!!

football is the best fucking sport ever!! it's played in more than 200 countries all over the world. do i need say more?

i'm not american and i also like baseball. maybe because i played it when i was a kid and got to understand the game.

p.s.: for all you football lovers, i've got a CC surprise planned for you... the only bad thing is i've been short of time so it is likely to take long...

by **P Gizzle** on Mon Oct 16, 2006 8:40 pm

futbol, or football.

yeah, baseball is the best!!!!

I wasnt saying that the US national team wasnt good, I was saying that our league soccer - MLS - isnt as good as european league football (soccer).

by **P Gizzle** on Mon Oct 16, 2006 9:47 pm

well no kidding. i was saying that the us is as good at soccer (futbol) as england, ireland, japan, israel, but not italy, germany, or france

by **Knight of Orient** on Tue Oct 17, 2006 10:19 am

USA is good, they just seem not to have the right tools to propel them farther than they tend to go. they are always said to be the best conditioned team, they just seem 2 be missing something....
