    Manly man wearing helmets? Real man play rugby.

    I would call 30% of a total citizens of 300 million "Yes, some Americans are fat"

    I am American and I love watching "soccer." I love American football too. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you have to dislike it. The one thing I do not like about soccer is all of the flopping and acting on fake injuries. Another thing they could do to make soccer more exciting is take away offsides. That would make the game explosive, and much more entertaining.

    you do realize with protective equipment, you are able to make bigger hits while also avoiding preventable injuries. Rugby is just the silly caveman version of American football.

    We get it. Evidently you're vastly superior to me. I responded to somebody saying that over half of my country is obese, which is very inaccurate, and I gave the correct stat. You reiterated my stat, and subsequently called me incorrect, and now you're making fun of me? Makes sense.

    I wouldn't call 30% of a 300 million population a few.

    It is because American's simply just don't give a fukk about it. It is the most boring sport on the planet to watch. I respect the athlete but that is it. Fukk it otherwise. 90+ minutes of nothing but watching a fukking ball bounce one end to the other. Snooozefest. Guys flopping like they got their cocks cut off as one brushes by them, carried off on stretchers only to get off the stretcher and walk back in the game immediately. It is a joke. Complete joke.

    Rugby is the manly (and original) version of American football. So there goes ur statement about liking manly sports. American football is for pussys. No doubt those guys will break those helmet wearing pussys in half.

    I love Americans, I know Americans who love me. The hatred should be directed towards people in power. Don't be confused by this. If you are rich and comfortable in your country and don't care about the issues in the US then you don't care about your country or your people.

    Even more hilarious considering it's 100% true. I love it when a guy goes down after barely getting touched and then writhing in agony for 5 minutes and then gets up and plays the rest of the game like nothing happened

    um nope. It's the more complex and more intelligent version of rugby. The amount of strategy required to play a game of rugby is less than the amount of strategy it takes to button a shirt.

    You're right.

    Lining up to the line of scrimmage and enduring what has been scientifically proven to be compared to a car accident each and every down. Pussies. Fukk them.

    I think he was more or less saying he doesn't care about Rbn's opinion of him, but I certainly agree with your point.

    For what it's worth, I certainly don't hate you, this thread has just gotten way out of hand, and there has been quite a bit of anti-American propaganda in it, which IMO has been uncalled for. I understand the bashing of the OP because the topic of this thread is absolutely ridiculous, but the world football vs. American football argument is stupid, because its simply personal preference.

    Again, I certainly don't hate you, in fact I really do respect your football opinion. I've tailed you on quite a few plays that have worked out nicely for me, so cheers to you good sir!

    If you are still living here, then why not leave? The US does not hold its citizens captive and they are free to leave at their own will. Second, Im healthy, employed, have a comfortable lifestyle so how does your description of america apply to me? You are just stereotyping and apparently bashing your own country...sounds like you have some things to figure out.

    I'm glad your country is doing well. Why wouldn't I be? I don't have vendettas against random countries like you seem to with the United States. Maybe I'm drawing the wrong conclusion from your posts, but from what I've seen you have been very small-minded, and on quite a few occasions hypocritical.

    However, I won't hold a grudge against you at all, and I truly look forward to discussing football with you and everybody else on this forum in the future. I'm simply here to make some money.

    No offense man. First of all this forum is used to discuss, things can get hot in a while . Just can't stand people talking football down or saying any other country than USA is a third world.

    We surely will get some winners in the future .

    Gonna stop discussing here. Need to cap some NHL (love it, American sport invented by Canadiens)

    LOL. Are you serious?
    You would just get 4 or 5 attackers permanently in the penalty area and a game of long ball punts exactly as it was 170-odd years ago when the offside law was first introduced.

    I was actually cheering for the dutch in the world cup final, and I am an American. I am 6'4 235 pounds and I'm not obese at all. America has it's share of difficulties, but I have a feeling your attitude would change in a room full of educated Americans. Every country has idiots and fat people. Why do you feel entitled to disrespect Americans? Who made you king? There are many Americans who don't agree with the idiots that run this country. You lumping us all in the same category is a sign of your own ignorance. You little keyboard super hero.

    The poster bconngemini is a troll. I actually doubt he is American, if I had to bet my money would be on British.
    I am British and notice a few language nuances that would be very unusual for an American to use.

    that's true, but you would see a lot of goal scoring and it would change the way the defenses play. I like it the way it is too, I am just proposing new ideas to make the game more explosive.

    Your just trying to ruin the game. Taking away offsides, give me a break . Just leave the game how it is, even draws can be exciting if you watch attacking teams.

    Only thing they should do imo, place camera's on the goal line.

    Instant replay would be a very nice feature for that goal England scored against Germany in the world cup. That totally changed the strategy of England for the remainder of the game.

    True, I actually have given England a shot to trough if they got that goal. They had the momentum on their side. After dissallowing the goal, they ran forward like headless chickens.

    Yea yea no doubt its really thrilling to see 55 guys kickin a ball around a lawn for an hour and a half, I mean really thrilling, its um (loads Glock 18) its umm ya know its my kinda fun and (unlocks safety) and ya know I mean that really makes me happy to be a soccer fan so I can get the opportunity to watch all that ball kicking (puts gun to his head) and uh ya know you really gotta cheer hard for guys that dont ever score bc ya know I mean if they keep kickin it theyll probably score in a few more hours I mean I just uh couldnt take a team scoring bc that would be like ya know I mean

    BOOM!
