Tears of the Cows 1,209 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Also soccer players run roughly 10km ... in 2 hours. If you walked fast enough you could do that in 2 hours. 75% of soccer is standing around of lightly jogging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A NFL wr or running back (assuming they have eye foot coordination) could easily compete in a soccer match. a soccer player would be taken out on a stretcher within 3 plays in the nfl That is BS and you know it. Check out how successful Usain Bolts soccer career was to see how easily a highly specialised athlete goes in a new sport Even highly similar sports like rugby and NFL have very very few successful conversion attempts because their bodies are moulded to achieve different things over a long period. Very few people have both explosiveness and endurance and NFL favours explosiveness and trains for it Edited October 18, 2019 by Voidler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very few people have both explosiveness and endurance and NFL favours explosiveness and trains for it I said assuming they have eye foot coordination. Nothing about soccer players being able to RUN is skillful. any nfl skill player could train for endurance with ease. No soccer player could compete in the nfl bc they simply would be too small and weak now, strength isn’t really a skill either, but rather a long process. Endurance isn’t a long process, and most players could be in equivalent shape to soccer players in a few weeks Edited October 18, 2019 by ghostz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These are significantly better athletes in every way, bigger, stronger, and faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t say that tbh. If you’re not 6 ft you’re not in the league (few exceptions, sure) and height isn’t a talent tho they are infinity times more skilled than soccer players Edited October 18, 2019 by ghostz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How about comparing nfl to rugby and AFL. An NFL player that specialise in any area would be murdered in Rugby or AFL, a QB would legit play 5 min. no safe catch no blockers allowed no breaks have to attack AND defend no time to talk about what play to make next no time outs the playmakers have to tackle and defend as much as anyone no padding, no helmet, etc NFL is like baby leagues compared to actual physical sports. Your knowledge just doesn’t exist past the shitty sports your country knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A team of the best from rugby would get whooped all over in the nfl or in a merged version. also rugby players are literally 1/2 the size of nfl players on average Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any nfl team would lose in rugby to a rugby team and vica Versa. As with any sport. yeah how are those twice as big players going with zero breaks and continuous play. NFL literally has 3 different sets of teams, that’s how singular faceted they are. Rugby and afl have one team with subs. You need to have the skills of a playmaker, speed of a running back, defence of blocker and all the strategy on the fly. you see nfl plays get fucked up all the time when they can’t take time outs and have to rush. Imagine a full game of not being able call a play. It’s boring as fuck. I’d rather watch chess if I want ‘strategy’ only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,566 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 The difference here ghostz is that the non Americans have seen the top level of gridiron, which is the NFL. what level of the other sports have you seen? how much English Premier League or Champions League have you see for football instead of comparing it to MLS. Even football fans won’t watch that shit. how much NRL or AFL have you seen? You don’t even know what they are. Just the usual ignorant American. We’ve seen Super Bowl. It’s boring as fuck and nothing about it would make anyone switch from following nrl and afl if they like physical sports Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol what a dumb post. I would never convince anyone outside of US to watch NFL. You have no loyalty or interest, but that doesn’t change the fact that NFL is simply a better game. And makes more money than any other sports league in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And actually I’m not a fan of rugby or afl, I vehemently hate afl actually, but it’s still better than the crap that is American football. HahahahaHaha omg that last line.

Incredible how clueless you are. soccer is popular, bc it’s for poor people. Anyone can play it. but when it comes to moolah, one lil American sport makes more money than all those lil soccer leagues in fact, any two American leagues make more money than ALL soccer leagues in the world.. lol. Combine our least watched sports, nhl and nba, and they dwarf all soccer leagues combined as well whos clueless? Although money made doesnt =/= skill or anything, but you said I was wrong.
