No, soccer is a great sport.... but IT'LL NEVER BE BETTER THAN FOOTBALL!

Andrew Posted: Jul 23, 2008 at 02:26 AM EDT

wow so ya soccer is tha reel football notice how in americano football they use their feet for three things: punts, kick offs, and FGS while in soccer...about 95% of the game is played with tha feet and while soccer is more demanding than football, football is more exciting to americans because we like to see ppl get hurt i'd lik 2 c a linebaker go for a header and c wat happens

I know that I can ask at least one soccer and football player what they like the best and they would say they like soccer (Futbol). I have to give the football players their props though because i have seen some pretty nasty injuries come off the field. But soccer has more technique to it because you have to be able to have control over the ball and be able to do alot more than just run into people and having one person carrying the ball. But I'm a soccer player so of course I'm going to defend soccer.

all soccer is is a bunch of dudes prancing around in the grass faking gettin hurt.

ask n e athlete that plays both they most likely say football is better, jus like below... Like I said I giv soccer credit too! but Let's put it this way it's not FOOTBALL it's FUTBOL let's get it straight. So u get the facts straight ya digg?!

ok first off. soccer does have contact. i dont know what soccer you guys watch but um it definately has contact. Maybe to guys its not better than football. but they're two different sports. soccer is the real football in EVERY country other than the US. and at least in soccer we use our feet more than any other part of our body.

I give football players their credit its a hard sport but then again. football does have a lot of timeouts seriously and you have every play planned out. in soccer we run nonstop and get a 10min break in the middle. we have to read our team to know what they're about to do we dont plan it out.

and its a opinionated question. obviously im a soccer player and im going to defend my sport it's not "football" its soccer but ask any soccer player they say its better than football ask any football player they say football is better. its common sense that you defend your sport.

John Posted: Jul 19, 2008 at 07:05 PM EDT

I thin this: In terms of cardiovascular endurance, soccer has football topped, hands down. In terms of athleticism, it's important in both sports. In terms of toughness, power, and strategy (Not saying soccer DOESN'T have any of those) Football is clearly the superior sport. Besides that, yes, there may be contact in soccer, but football is one of few sports that has a higher classification than a 'contact sport'. In fact, I've heard many people call it a COLLISION sport. In any case, yes, it is wrong to call soccer 'the real football'.

Emma Posted: Jul 18, 2008 at 11:06 AM EDT

O.k coming from a girls perspective it think that both sports are equaly challaging and on eis bnot better than the other. It all depends on what you like to play but let me tell you soccer is full of contact expecisaly the girls legue at my school. Just this year i sent a girl off the field with a broken arm so don't say there is not contact in soccer. I love to watch football and I think they are roughly both the same but this is jut the thoughts from a girl who likes both.

Azaveus Posted: Jul 17, 2008 at 07:43 PM EDT

Yea you rite football is better cause you can knock the sh** of somebody and not get penalized soccer is for people who scared of contact and like to kick balls around!

I play both sports, football for the school in the fall and soccer for a club team in the summer and football is my favorite of the two
