The NFL is fairly young in the sport world..... it's just starting to branch out of the USA..... over time.... it'll catch in other countries tho I really don't want it to unless it's a strictly euro league and they don't play the USA..... if American football gets too big and superbowls are played across the pond..... ima be pissed.....

But to end it all off...its what your born with. you wouldnt sit and watch a game of footy, i wouldnt sit and watch a game of handball. Iv been brought up to play football, you probs played american football in some college team or whatever....

What you going to be doing in 2months time...i feel for you its the fkin World cup!!!!!!

you going into hibernation

I won't be going into hibernation... I love soccer. But I love football more. The athleticism and training in football cannot be rivaled by any other sport.

The two best soccer players in the world weigh less than the smallest NFL player. When it comes to size, speed, agility, strength, and stamina, professional football players are absolute freaks. The proof is in the numbers. A man of average height and weight would be a 1 in 25 million shot to make a pro football roster. It's just a whole different ball game.

**dangerous dan** · 04-08-2010, 04:55 PM

Hmmm yea, maybe it will catch into other countries, dont think it would get as far as europe tho.

exactly...football and handball cant really be compared. stick a football player in handball he would be useless...stick a handball player in football he would be useless.

Lol for 16 years you did. They just cancelled it.

**dangerous dan** · 04-08-2010, 05:12 PM

Suprise...never been in england.

i hate rugby..find it pointless, i look at rugby and american football in the same way, but i have not once come across a fan of american football over in england. So thats why i see it never having a place over here.

most fans of rugby, look at english football like yourselfs. think its shit. call it a *****s game...fair enough its turned a wimpy over the years. Still the best sport at the min to be apart of.

american football vs english football........we might aswell compare tennis to basketball...different game

**dangerous dan** · 04-08-2010, 05:17 PM

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

Lamont Brightful 160lbs NY Giants DB a few years ago. Now he plays in canada.
C Ranaldo weighs 75kg (165lbs)

But that aside, the NFL is the worlds heaviest hitting sport in the world with impact estimations of 1600lbs of force for an average NFL player weighing 200lbs.

Pads or not, the NFL is a very tough, physically demanding sport that is played by the most elite athletes in the world. If you subtract the pads from the sport there would be a death statistic included with each teams stats.

Brightful also ran just over 4.3 I believe. He is 3-4 inches shorter than Ronaldo, and weighs only 5 pounds less. Either way he is no longer in the NFL, and the lightest player right now is Roscoe Parrish at 170 pounds.

Right, but the point is you said that the lightest nfl player is heavier then any soccer player. There are plenty of soccer players over 200lbs. Just keeping things real.

I said the lightest NFL player (Parrish at 170 pounds) is heavier than the two best soccer players in the world (Messi at 145 pounds and Ronaldo at 165 pounds).

Oh I misread, so then what is your point here?

Robben scored from a corner (cross then volley) which was an excellent goal.

Utd then had a few chances, Nani was through and Gibson had another chance outside the box.

Wasnt Utd's night.

I hope WE (England) get our revenge on the Germans in the World Cup! We can meet them at some point quarter/semi's on route to the final.

LOL i know swifto i watched the game i was being sarcastic

**yesimussing** · 04-09-2010, 10:28 AM

Swifto I would have never guessed it. Sorry about the elimination. Now what comes next you r not gonna like. Chelsea fan here. Lol. Pre-Abramovich just wanted to clarify
