    hey you fukin moron a little jealous of American sports? you sound like an idiot. You have probably never even played soccer and if you play "football" the mans version where we hit each not slide into each other than you would get smashed and cry about it.

    Hockey players regularly warm up with keep ups:



    Steve Nash could have been a professional soccer player.

    You guys underrate how coordinated these athletes are simply because they are bigger and stronger than soccer players.

    I can't imagine many soccer players can skate, throw a spiral, or shoot free throws.

    I can't imagine any NHL players playing in the Premier League in England or La Liga in Spain. The amount of technical skill required will be enormous for them. But yeah I can see Sydney Crosby playing soccer for a beer pub in a Canadian oil town.

    It is far, far more conceivable to see a football, hockey, or basketball player in a soccer league than vice versa.

    Go watch another rerun of a Steven seagal movie you idiot. Leave soccer alone. It is for the people with more than one brain cell to appreciate on their Saturday afternoon. I love american football and probably have more experience playing it than you do, but you're an idiot for disrespecting the highest paid athletes in the world. Soccer is an amazing sport, and it takes amazing talent to play it. Go try to play it against some experienced players and witness how worthless you are muva muka.

    Have you ever played soccer? I played up to collegiate level. If you think that an NHL player can suit up and starting to play soccer by passing accurately, dribbling or defending you are mistaken. Soccer in 10% running and 90% passing accurately or not passing too late so you can have your teammates offside all the time. Timing is everything.

    So you disagree with my statement? You think it's more likely a soccer player can learn how to skate, or dribble with both hands, or throw a football at a competitive level?

    You must be out of your mind.

    I only skated twice in my life. But the second time I fell less than the second time. If I skated every day for a few months I would do it. I play indoor soccer at a facility where they have roller hockey being played in same dimensions ring.

    So to answer your question. Rooney or Ronaldo or Messi can learn how to skate very quickly and play hockey. And who knows if they get on a weight training program their bodies can absorb vicious hits. If an NHL player can be trained to play in the Premier League a soccer player of that caliber like Ronaldo can be trained to play in the NHL.

    You are out of your fukking mind. You don't just have to learn how to skate, you have to learn how to pass, shoot, hit, and block.



    Yeah, these guys will take training programs to absorb hits. In your dreams.

    If you can train an NHL player to play for Real Madrid like you are suggesting you can train a Real Madrid player to play for the Maple Leafs. You have simplified how easy is for an NHL player to play in Europe's best leagues so I can't see why a pro soccer player won't make it in the NHL.

    I agree with you. For some weird reason hockey fans think than an NHL player can show up at Real Madrid's training facility tomorrow and be ready for the El Classico on Sunday.

Soccer gets the scrubs athletes of the world, the small guys who couldn't compete for football, basketball or baseball money, so they have to settle for a lesser money sport.

    You don't know what you're talking about, a lot of great fighters only became professional fighters because they didn't make it in soccer. I'll give you a few examples....











    Everyone of those guys would smash your toothless idols faces in without any effort.

    To assume playing soccer means you can't fight, is idiotic beyond words. Most soccer players come from deprived background, some of them come from the worst places in the world, they know how to look after themselves, or a lot of them wouldn't be here today.

    We are talking about world class players, not the local fukking pick up game on weekends you tool.

    The funniest part of your post is Mirko Cro Cop, who everyone knows had a bunch of fixed fights in his career.

    None of those guys would ever have made top level soccer leagues, just like how the best brawlers in minor league hockey don't make the majors.

They know it could swallow this country whole in a matter of a couple years. But anyway, you were saying how incredibly violent hockey is and how cowardly soccer players are.

    How many times do you think Sydney Crosby has had a gun waved in his face in between periods? Or been beaten with clubs by security? Or have had opposing fans pelt him with coins, batteries and bottle rockets? Or had the teams bus windows smashed out and pelted with rocks? Or even been shot for a poor performance.

    Soccer players don't have to fight, their supporters will gladly do it for them and spend life in prison for it. I don't condone this, but if you want to get into a pissing match about violence, then soccer has hockey smoked. People take soccer more seriously than hockey, there is no "it's only a game." And the intensity level of a derby in say Glasgow or Istanbul is something you and 99% of the American population will never experience or understand. So just forget the sport exists.

    So the criminal tendencies of a sports' fan base is what determines the toughness of that sport?

    Do you really think that would be funnier than seeing Messi try to block Adrian Peterson?

    While the linemen may be exhausted, Messi may actually die. Do you understand the difference between contact and non-contact sports?

    How are soccer fans this fukking brain dead? Goddamn third world nations with their third world sport and third world education.

    Why would you have Messi play lineman? He would either be kicking field goals or punting. You have to use Messi at a position he can excel in football.

    One word: Context. Had nothing to do with violence, or soccer players being cowardly. My post was solely in response to another numbnuts stating hockey players were pussies and not as athletic as soccer players. If you'd bothered to read my prior posts you might have noticed me stating I like soccer, I bet it more than any other sport. I like golf too, the best in the world are tremendously skilled (as are soccer players), doesn't make them great athletes. And anyone who thinks you can "teach a soccer (or footlball, basketball, baseball, cricket, whatever) player to skate" and they can compete at the level of an NHL player is f*king dumb or just wants to argue. This isn't "nationalism or fear", it's truth. Reading comprehension

    Hell of a 1st post though

    You had 300 lbs. men playing forward (instead of having WRs or CBs) so I don't see why I can't use an equally retarded comparison. I'm not even sure why you used football players instead of hockey players in the first place.

    The problem with literally every post made by soccer fans in this thread is that they want the bias to only work in their favour. The refuse to admit soccer players are the least flexible athletes which is why they keep resorting to NHL goons and NFL linemen to support all their ridiculous examples.

    I guarantee you Steve Nash would do well in soccer drills. Now you name me one soccer player who could dribble or shoot free throws at a competitive level.

    I'll wait.

    No you can't, soccer players are girls. They wouldn't want to take the hit, it'd mess up their hair and they'd probably fall to the floor in agony for the refs. "NOT MY HAIR". Soccer is the weakest sport in the world, I've seen harder hits in Netball.

    and come on lets not act these 300 pound guys are out of shape nowadays these fat guys are running 4.8-5.1 which is pretty good for that size. Of course there not gonna be out there the whole game but those big guys could probably hang out on that field for about 20 minutes or so

    it's because they play soccer. Your not even allowed to use your arms so there is no point in being muscular.

    i mean i guess if they really wanted to , they could work out their upper body just to be able to show off at the beach...

    but really you could be a great soccer player and not even have arms.

    and eliminate these Tie games....

    i love the world cup once they get to the elimination rounds. But i can't stand watching soccer if i know i could be watching them kick the ball around for 3 hours and then 3 hours later nobody even won the game. It just makes me feel like an idiot for having wasted 3 hours and nobody even won the game.
