Ahaha...he looks so weird in shoulder pads. He'd be safe here because I don't believe hardly anyone knows who he is in football lol.

Soccer players don't have the guts to hit the gridiron... I got some physical specimen in my area, but they play soccer ... they tell me that football "hurts" and that it's "too violent".

I played soccer for 6 years, please don't make a comment like that. Maybe these people were wimps. Soccer can be really hardcore, the average soccer player can [b]outrun, out manuver, and simply outlast the average football player...as athletes[/b], not from a football perspective. As I'm sure most football players would not make it through the first 15 minutes of play. Way too much non-stop running. It's high endurance. Want to see hardcore, look up some soccer injury videos.[/quote]

hmm....i've never played soccer,but i believe that football players are MUCH better athletes than soccer players. just my opinion. dont jump all over me,just an opinion

well, being half French half Cameroonian, I know a bit about soccer lol. Soccer players have an awful lot of stamina, acceleration, impressive footwork, but explosion is not a as important as in football.

And about contact... erm, pushing a bit with your shoulder is supposed to be authorised, but every time you are more physical than the other guy, you get called for a foul. The majority of soccer players are not used to contact (except when you play in the streets with thugs, you take some pretty nasty hits [edit] I guess it also works with marines Laughing

[/edit]).

on a 40 yard or 100m race a football player will beat a soccer player. On longer distances, I will bet on the soccer player!

If Beckham wants to make Americans watch soccer, he should really play K for the Saints, and then go back to soccer when the season is over. It'd make him a lot more popular.
