Americans called football football long before gridiron was invented. They have just never been any good at football thats all, hence the resentment. Gridiron is played because it is easy and you don't have to learn many skills.
am i the only person who can see the irony of american football being called 'football' - it doesn't use the foot as its primary physical attribute, and consequently i find it a bit arrogant, ignorant and offensive for americans to call association football 'soccer'
American Football cleats don't have a lace guard because most players never make foot contact with the ball. Reggie just wanted to know what the elastic band was for.
exactly. and why do you call your pussy version of rugby football. there's barely any kicking involved in it. AND why are all you yanks such fucking inbreds?
how the fuck should we know? you shouldn't judge an entire country by the word it uses for a sport which is just beginning to catch on here. plus, even though I call it soccer, I'm confident I can fuck your shit up in soccer
who ws judging? i ws askin a question...it make sense why we call it football....why do u call it soccer? wheres the judement in that u dumb cunt....you fuck my shit up in football?...nah mate, i played arsenal under 16s back in the day...did the US even qualify for the world cup? loool.....wait....no one cares hahaha
the US tied Italy (the world cup champions) in the 2006 world cup. We beat spain (the Euro cup champions) in the confederations. We were beating Brazil 2-0 at half time in the confederations final.
Just because you wore an arsenal jersey in primary school doesn't make you a good player.
We call it football because the ball is a foot long.
We call it soccer because that's the name you pikeys gave it when you brought it over as a gentleman's game and saw the way we played.
@nailes2207 im english and i love american football, football (soccer) is for pussys every 5 minutes one of those overpaid cunts is falling down to the floor because someone messed up there hair, american football is the way to go, its just that you need peope to mark down the downs etc etc why its not most popular sport in the world
@LDNballer: The term 'soccer' is apparently a shortened/slang version of the term "association football", which people used to use to distinguish football from rugby. Weird, but there it is.
watch videos of Thomas Davis, Greg Blue, Ray Lewis, Mike Singletary tackle someone, or watch Herschel Walker run someone down and tell me futball players are tougher. The padding stops bones from breaking on every play. Though your ignroance is apparent. Two words.. spell check.
lol paddin stops bones breaking. im a football fan as in 'soccer' to u folk lol but gotta say american football ent tht tough. rugby is hardcore lol same as american football with no padding!! so end of the day...american football is for bottlejobs lol
shut up u americans..stop thinking ur d best.theres now away u can compare hard ass "american footballers" with futbol players cuz those so-called muscle men just wear plain protection padding equipment. Put them in a game of futbol n they'll show you that they aren't stronget stronger.
"Put soccer players in a football game. They'll get runned over." Yes, but there are big footballers, and hard ass footballers to.
How about, putting American Footballers into a footie game, the outcome, getting the piss taken out of them by the likes of Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
Really Michael Jordan, Carel Lewis,Jim thorpe, or Bo Jackson are they not great talent, when will you learn that Americans dont care about sports that dont allow you to use your hands..
Its known that football (soccer) players are much better athletes than american footballers. Even american footballers are starting too admit it. Anyone can be fat.
maybe not, but he would be just as good if he was. Half the people playing american football for highschool are fat, and often considered the better of the players.
Really name one! Only the linemen in American football are over weight, you cannot name one American football player that plays a skilled position IE WR,CB,FS LB,RB or QB that is out of shape..many players have weight clauses in their contract
Soccer requires more skill and moves. Football players do the same moves everytime(the quarterback receives the ball, he passes it and the other player runs toward the endzone and either reaches the endzone or is tackled, this is repeated through the entire game.)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
are you crazy,i used to be a goalkeeper but i play football now,there are a 100s of plays for offence and defence that you got to master.i play LB and QB there is more skills and techniques in only those positions then a entire soccer team
i didnt say hitting like a fist fight but hitting like a tackling we call a Tackle a hit and actaully when i was boy weighing about 180 Ib i practiced karate now im about 295 Ib and 6 ft 5 do you really think i can practice martial arts hehe
Thank you for the advice.Football is for big boys and i am a big boy so its pretty good for me that there is a sport where you are allowed to big and heavy
migellejones....clearly has no understanding of football or any sport other than nfl. wojj77...Clearly an idiot. How on earth can you think a rugby player or nfl meathead could outrun henry with a ball at their feet? Rugby union is played by dozy guys who weren't good enough to play football, you dimwit. These meatheads can't even tie their own laces, becks had to help reggie tie his up, hehe.
Warriorprince is clearly a moron who doesnt actually understand any sport besides football(if that) To claim that Henry could outrun anyone in NFL or rugby with the ball at his feet? Have you ever even watched the games? One dimensional? I happen to be a massive rugby union and football fan and i can assure you that rugby is much more dimensional and complex than football. Simplicity is footballs greatest assest
Don't pay attention to warriorprince he juxt an idiot trying to start fights. the fact that he thinks that henry (10.8 in the 100m) is faster than bush (10.42) just shows how ignorant he is.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Reggie can catch and run and do little else. Becks has technique, skill, vision, the ability to bend a ball around an object yet keeping pace on the ball. Becks is on another level to average catch and run meat heads like reggie. Reggie couldn't even tie his own sjoe laces, hehe, thats what years of steroid abuse do to a young man. Henry can outrun most nfl or rugby and do this with a ball at his feet, that is called co ordination and it requires genuine skill.
Why compare these two sports and their athletes? Football players are conditioned for their sport. Especially attacking players such as Henry, Kaka, C. Ronaldo etc. And same for American football players. There are players in both sports that could make a good-decent transition between sports such as Adriano or even Tevez, but if a player couldnt then so what? He was raised for a different game. Dont take anything away from him or his sport as both are extremely demanding and tough sports
@rjay114 I don't think the comparison was the point of this. Honestly, you put two big names together, Bush being big in America, Beckham being bigger world wide... it's win win for Adidas.
Beckham would be fine he is far bigger than little reggie. As for theirry henry he would outrun and out skill,any nfl player and still have time to wave to the crowd. Nfl is like rugby, a very one dimensional game for steroid induced skilless athletes.
hahah thierry henry isnt even on the same level as guys like reggie bush and devin hester. He might have endurance and soccer skills over them, but that's it. Strength and speed go 2 the americans...sorry eurosoccer fans
The NFL is about physical strength ... and skill, technique, speed, agility, power, and scoring. Reggie is relatively small by NFL standards. Whereas Reggie may not be able to contribute much to his soccer teammates, Beckham wouldn't last a minute on an NFL football field. These sports are ridiculously different.
Beckham could catch the nfl ball as good as reggie bush. Yet reggie couldn't do any skills what so ever. It shows you how nfl is based on physical strength, while football is all about skill and technique.
Actually no Beckham did a very poor job of catching the ball. If you watch the other videos you will see Reggie intercepting the ball every time (NOT GOOD). Finally Reggie mis plays the ball and Becks catches one.
I feel I need to point out that Reggie is a running back. He does is not a defensive back and has no experience covering wide receivers.
Bush would get a kick out the adizeros if he thinks the absolutes are light.
