Fishhead what do you need to play football?

[Jimmy0607]

I think you only need a football , nothing else , wonder why is not the most popular sport in the world since you only need a ball

[Cuse0323]

Are we talking American football, cause then you need many things to play a real game.

He said that Soccer is the most popular sport because kids growing up just need a ball to play but growing up I played Football at the park with everybody and we just needed a football

Gotcha...kids can play any sport for fun pretty easily so I understand your point now.

[Fishhead]

Exactly!!!!

AGAIN......

SOCCOR is the most popular sport in the WORLD because kids from 2nd and 3rd world countries only need an 89 cent ball or a coconut................simple factoid.

In other news, the US OPEN this weekend will draw more interest this week from U.S. CITIZENS than the entire month long world cup

To play the real soccer game you need more than a ball

[Cuse0323]

Shin pads?

[Cuse0323]

Really though, I respect both games so I have no interest in this battle.

[Cuse0323]

Damn my 1,00oth post was about shin pads.

[Fishhead]

Pleeez

You need an 89 cent ball(coconut, skull, or other dried fruit for ball)........and a couple sticks, dead animal or something similar for the goal.

You know what's funny.........I like soccer more then 99.8% of my fellow U.S. citizens.

I love watching it and betting it.........even enjoyed playing the game.

I'm often defending this sport to my American counterparts.

[Deuce]

Football is basically only in America. Sure other countries have it, we're talking about soccer which ANYONE can play. The World has no clue the rules of football. Not many rules in futbol. I don't even understand how this is an argument. It has to do with viewability.

I think you have a valid point, it's probably been easy for families to get a soccer ball and it's become very popular over the years in many countries. But it's like Dominicans and such with baseball, they've grown up with a stick and a rock and learned to love baseball. It's all a culture thing really.

American football rules are complicated and the sport's younger. I'd expect international adoption to be slow.

You need to get with the times my friend, football (soccer) is the fastest growing sport in the US, all this talk is by people scared of change and stuck in their ways.

You should be happy, finally a real sport, not some commercialized light entertainment more interested with in-game add breaks, cheerleaders and not respecting their supporters.

Football (soccer) is more than just a game

[Jimmy0607]

Guys I'm talking about playing the sport in the streets in the park , growing up we just needed the pigskin to play football nothing else, so his argument makes no sense , because in the Caribbean they love baseball and they are pretty far from being a first world country

[AMBlai01]

this is a confusing argument...I am trying to figure out where jimmy is going with this.

[3PtShooter]

ya got to have legs, and if ya dont your the goaleeeeeeeee

[pavyracer]

Fishhead,

You try to kick a coconut or a skull barefoot (since you only need that to play soccer) and see how many toes you have after that.

This actually made me, lol.

[MBENZ]

The only obvious thing I see in this thread is Fishhead has definatly played a few games of football without his helmet.

that may be true, but until those kids see a PRO league in the USA paying millions for their skill. The kids will still sign up for Football, Basketball and Baseball.

No matter how hard I try I cant stand soccer. Every 4 years I remember why I hate it so much, booooooooorrrrrinnnnggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimmy0607]

Amblai my argument is that fh says that soccer is the most popular sport because you only need a ball to play, so my question was what do you need to play football because growing up we only needed a football

To play pick up football...sure you only need a football but to play the game like they play in the NFL or at a competitive level you need a ton of things.

FH is right...to play soccer like they play competitively you need nothing...you need to draw marks in the dirt for a goal and make a ball out of anything....
