+Sae Rin when we hear British accents they all run together... heck, we can only differentiate Irish thanks to Lucky the Leprechaun (voiced by an American) and Scottish thanks to Mel Gibson (and Australian).
'Socker' was one of the first forms of football played in Britain (a game
involving both hands and feet, with the aim to get a ball from one village
to another), before the formation of the Football Association and the
original rules of Association Football (the full name of the sport) were
written. When Football/Soccer came over to America, American Football was
already in existence and it needed to have a different name, hense why one
of the original names was used with a slight change to 'Soccer'.
Soccer or Football, it is still a better than any of the American crap, how
anyone can enjoy watching or playing a sport, such as American Football or
Baseball, that stops every minute I don't know!
+Will IV Someone that says nothing significant happens during a soccer game does not have a good understanding of the game. What if in American football you only got 1 point per touch down like in soccer, you would end up with scores like 3.2 (the average touch downs per game being about 4.9), obviously not taking into account fieldgoals. So in your eyes would more happen if you awarded 5 points per goal, so we would have scores more like 15.5? As for strategies and formations, I don't think people in America, even those with an interest in soccer truly understand the complexities of tactics and strategies in professional soccer. These have to be applied to open and continuous play, having to change from defence to attack in seconds, while the game is still in play continuously for 90 minutes, without the ability to just change your entire team to fit a particular need. Having been in America for the World Cup this summer, the coverage is completely dumbed down to the point of embarresment for the American audience and I think this is why it has generally a negative opion and people don't understand the complexity of it.I do understand this point of view though, I have a very poor knowledge of Baseball and cant help think how easy it must be to hit a ball and run, im sure someone would be able to correct me though!
having spent the summer/fall in America i'll be honest and say it has grown on me a little since I made my comment. I don't have an attention disorder though, I just prefer games with open play. You wouldn't want to watch a movie that stops every 10 seconds with a 20 second gap inbetween!
+Kieran Pollard Why do you have an attention disorder? American Football has a play every 20 seconds. If you can't wait 20 seconds for a play there is something wrong with you.
As opposed to nothing of significance happening for most of soccer/futbol games? I actually enjoy watching it, but American Football is a fantastic sport as well. The strategies and formations involved are complex and ingenious. I can get into baseball as well, but generally don't watch it because there is no team for me to cheer for (same as soccer so I rarely watch it). I prefer American Football and Basketball and I'll watch the big games in other sports like World Series (baseball), Stanley Cup (hockey), or World Cup (futbol).
You don't see this part, but when Bob starts talking about the brats,
somebody yells in the background and Bob says, "Wait, there's the birdman!"
And FYI, he was talking about the Kelsey Grammer lookalike at the US Open
he had just talked about earlier in the same interview
