Fuck off Bill, American Football is dogshit. They're not world championships if only one country plays. What the fuck are you on about? Oh and by the way, Le Bron and Dwayne got their arses kicked in 2004. Serbia and Spain won in 2002 and 2006. So they make dickheads of themselves by calling themselves 'world champs'.
Soccer is the sport that over protective mother in Us have there kids play. Soccer is only popular because its been around forever and anyone can play it.
Even the fact that they call it football just perfectly illustrates how fucking insecure these cocksuckers had to have been to super-impose the name of the most popular sport on the planet - a sport where you kick a BALL with your FOOT mind you - on this faggy sport that doesn't even incoorporate a fucking ball ffs
Its just like what these fuken cunts did with Budweiser when they stole the name from from the Czechs who brewed their beer in BUDWEISER CZ
Am I the only one who listens to football fans (american football) say that its a 'fast' sport, then think about it for a minute and realize it isn't at all.
It's just like baseball. A few moments of 10-15 second excitement, where a few players are doing some running and hitting. Then its right back to getting into a stance, yapping and fucking standing around. BORING AS FUCK.
I respect the shit out of rugby-- that's non-stop brutal action. And soccer is definitely more exciting than U.S. FB
Bill you don't know what the hell you're talking about, basketball isn't your fucking sport. It was invented in Canada! American football is faster than rugby?! Hahaha Go. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Stop.
@GShepardP Naismith was canadian, but Springfield, MA is where he "invented it". But to Bills point, how can a sport be overrated? This is like the best rock band arguments... pointless. I have watched soccer(football) games and they are good, but so is a dozen other sports.
I'm English, I love football (soccer), I think American football is overrated and I nearly pissed myself laughing to this. That's the power of the Burr.
As a Brit who plays both codes of football, you'd have to be a tribalistic insecure divy to say either one of them was shit. Both brilliant and completely different sports.
The key difference between American Football and almost every other team sport boils down to one thing. In American football every play is run at 120%. Nobody takes a play off when your on the field. Soccer requires better conditioning but i see the guys slowly jogging up the field, or passing the ball back and forth for 10 minutes while nothing happens. At least with downs in football i can grab a beer from the fridge in between plays.
@SgtPepperEverton The point is we don't care if you think soccer is a superior sport. We ignore most of your shit and we are content with our shit. In general we don't trash soccer. We just don't care. If you grew up watching soccer, fine. I grew up watching Elway walking out on the field with ice running through his veins down 21 points in the 4th and winning by 7 with 14 seconds to go. Way more exciting.
@mixmastermeeks It's not really more exciting though, is it? Or other countries would be interested in it, wouldn't they? Our football is the number one sport in over 90 countries in the world, yours is just about number one in the one country in which it's played. He did trash our football to be fair. It is the greatest game ever played and just because you haven't got the understanding of the game/attenion span to watch it, doesn't mean american football is more exciting, because it's not.
@SgtPepperEverton My point was Americans don't care if soccer is the #1 world sport. We know and we don't care. We like Football more. Why is that such a big deal to soccer lovers? And certainly football is more exciting. It is faster, more complex, and much more hard hitting. But if you don't think so I don't hold that against you. Just watch soccer. No problem. And he did trash soccer at first but later said it was a fine sport. His trashing was in response to the letters trashing of football
@mixmastermeeks There really is no point debating it because i don't have anywhere near enough knowledge of american football to talk about it and i assume it's the same with you and our football from the things you're saying. Just to let you know though, the world cup final gets more than twice as many views as the superbowl and the Champions League final is also watched by more people. Do Americans really think the superbowl is the biggest sporting event in the world?
@SgtPepperEverton my whole point is that we don't have to argue. It is a mystery to us why so many soccer fans get so upset that American's prefer Football to soccer. And you are right about the ratings. Superbowl is the most watched event in America.
@SgtPepperEverton And football is by far the #1 sport in America. Nothing even comes close to it. The SuperBowl is the most watched event on tv in the entire world. So I'm not sure why you think it is "almost" the number 1 sport in America.
@ScottishNonBeliever We do have that effect, but we dont have a national team to compete against other national teams. Fans are more regional here I think, similar to club soccer.
Football is a good game, no doubt. I like Football, I'm American. I must admit that though I enjoy the game I think the crazy religious football nuts are annoying. I like the game but the fucking fans who wil fight people over "their team" are a bit much
@fredguy2 Sometimes CFL can be crazy! It gets really wide open. Too much passing and punting for my taste because it's only 3 downs, but it can be really exciting.
bwuahahaha! American football is a fucking joke, an adverizement scam every 5 mins. Stop go stop go stop go. Violent, ok, you americans live or violence you're that backward.
@stellarshore I'm an American but I'm not a sports fan,for the very reason I'd rather put my masculine energy in- to some thing thats not hollow as an empty jar! As a matter of fact what really gets me cheering,is when I watch the Greek austerity riots,my testosterone goes threw the roof when I see a riot cop get set on fire by protesters tossing molitov cocktails.
there is a world cup & a junior world cup for football which the US didnt even participate in for the first 2 years. there are leagues all over europe, japan, & mexico. the guy who sent this email is fucking stupid.
How bout this: rugby, football, and American football are cool. Or, even if not, it's not your cup of tea and that's fine. The Europe vs. America arguments are childish; develop an individual personality outside your immediate surroundings. Live beyond the stupid human instinct of us vs. them.
@rwtj01 There have been a couple rugby players that came to play in the NFL. Guess what position they played? Punter. Punters are the biggest pussies on the field along with placekickers. That's how tough rugby players are.
@ScottishNonBeliever I understand the atmosphere at soccer games are alot more violent and awesome than football, but the SPORT itself is so fuckin ticky tack and everyone plays to get a little touch foul called on them. I watch world cup but thats about it.
@ScottishNonBeliever and yes its worldwide due to the colonization of Britain, and it can be played with a fuckin can. No one gives a shit if its the most watched sport in the world, cricket is more popular than football but who watches that? Watching highly over paid grass fairies dive and cry is boring.
@ScottishNonBeliever I assumed you like some sort of non pussy sport. Football here is the working class game too, soccer is for the snobs (most of the time). I have yet to see a tough or physical game of soccer to be played.
@ScottishNonBeliever Have you played american football? I've played soccer and football and I know what a pussy sport soccer is. Ill give you rugby, thats a fuckin mans game but its not MORE physical than football. I PROMISE the top high school football players could play in the top rugby league in England. No doubt

Rolf. In NFL they have 2 teams, so each player only plays for half the game if each team has the ball for the same amount of time. On top of that there are a LOT of reserve players. In other Football codes the player play for the entire match. 80 minutes long in Rugby. They also wear no pads. If you hit a man that's his fu<king should bone hitting you in the facem not some pads to protect your pussy American ass.
I grew up playing both rugby (Flyhalf) and American Football (Wide Receiver) and all I can say is that you don't have a fucking clue what your talking about. I love rugby, if you want to argue player fitness or something like that I would say you have argument. In terms of pure brutality, football was way more painful. Having someone plant their helmet into your solar plexus or having someones face mask run down your back as their tackling you is so fucking painful.
theres less then 10 minutes of actual play in american football. Watching "football" for 3hours and you get 10 minutes of actual play and the rest is adverts and players standing around
@Ofthehunt Google 11 minutes of play in american football "According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes."
@fennmanic22 i understand your point there, and i agree. But there is more to football than just the actual plays. You have to decipher your opposing defensive coverage. And vice versa.
10. Commercial breaks are a huge problem in US Football because it takes your attention away from the already minimal amount of build-up play in US football. It's also tacky and makes it look like the whole game has sold out, which may contribute to US football's lack of appeal anywhere except the USA. You don't really defend this at all, instead trying to focus attention on something you dislike about soccer which isn't really a problem anywhere.
9. It's just a bit dumb to name a sport after where it was made or where it is played unless it has a specific set of rules in one country compared to another, in which case you might call it Australian Rules Football or something like that (oh.)
8. American football is overrated as a sport because USAians believe it is one of the best sports in the world, but only a small minority of people outside of the USA enjoy it when other sports do have worldwide appeal.
7. I dislike the USA because I like your culture, but hate that mine is less visible to the world? (Your words, not mine.) If you're implying people hate US football because they're jealous of America then you might need to start giving people more credit. This isn't even relevant.
6. I don't understand why you're proud your sport has glaring safety oversights that cause the athletes you love and respect to die early and have huge neurological diseases at a young age. People get paralysed playing Rugby and have died playing rugby, we don't glorify it to make our sport sound tougher or harder than another because it is heartbreaking and should be activley avoided.
5. Rugby has rules about high tackles because it's not a retarded entertainment/sport hybrid like US Football or wrestling. We don't want to see big hits and people being killed/paralyzed for life. We want to see skill, teamwork and athleticism.
4. You can't pick the ball up in soccer, just like you can't pass forward in rugby or tackle people when you're playing cricket. I don't know what you're trying to achieve with this comment.
3. There is cynical play in every sport, including US Football. Diving is a problem in Soccer, sure, but no one goes around saying that it isn't a problem so what's your point?
2. The rest of the world doesn't play US Football because it doesn't appeal to many people without a USA mentality. Rugby, Soccer and Cricket are all quite different games but they have world-wide appeal at an elite level, which is why we can have a world cup. We don't think holding a US Football world cup is stupid, we just think calling what you have now a world event is dumb as hell.
HURR DURR IMMA BE A DOUCHE TO DRAW ATTENTION TO MY RANTS
American Football has a world cup you ignorant fool and Japan, Germany, Australia, Mexico (More Americans!), and others were invited. Learn something before you speak.
This fucking argument is so stupid. It's a shame you took the bait because you don't seem completely retarded. Keep the rants to the shit that really matters.
im english but totally agree with how much pussy's are in football now, i hate how fottballers act lke that and fuckin gt away with it like its nothing.........its just part of the ame now, wasnt like that always, completley different game not so long ago, americans starting to take interest now when its at its worst...........dont get me wrong many of these players who im talking about are good fucking players, if not the best...but its a fucking shame what they do..
Fun Fact 1: American Football began as basically a plagiarism of Rugby, but due to the violence it's early development was slow.
Fun Fact 2: Basketball was created by Canadadian man who, after growing up an orphan, moved to Massachusetts to become a gym teacher at a YMCA, where he created the game as an "athletic distraction" for his out of control class.
Is It Racist: OF COURSE these would be the 2 sports that the blacks took over!!!
"You like our music" "It kills you that we don't pay attention to your shit." Uh, ever heard of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabath, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Who, The Sex Pistols etc..?
And didn't British singer Adele's latest album debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this year?
So the idea that the appreciation is all one way is ridiculous.
@F7HFL yea you do have a great point with the music. the beatles and zeppelin are the 2 greatest bands ever. but you have to admit that what he said about football and soccer are soooo true...
@ewwgingers Nah, I love Soccer, it's the world's most popular sport for a reason. I've tried to get into American Football, I just can't, it doesn't entertain me. I hate how it's constantly stopping and starting, it's the same reason I've never been able to get into Rugby. I get that people like the physicality and brutality of it but if it's physicality and brutality you want then why watch a ball game? Watch UFC where it's guys actually fighting each other.
I do like soccer but it's hard to watch a grown man writhe in pain on the ground, while holding his knee because someone stepped on his pinkie toe. Just get up and keep playing.
American Football fans are mostly homophobic idiots. Stop making pathetic excuses about the lack of physicality in "soccer". By your logic every other non-physical sport in the world is gay, including Basketball. Unlike you, the rest of the world actually wants to watch sports where people use skill and intelligence instead of protein shakes and steroids. You just suck at "soccer". Plain and simple.
@YouTuballer yeah soccer players use skill and intelligence to play to a 0-0 tie. :P How thrilling. If you want to talk intelligence, let me know when whatever country you come from has a world chess champion. The US had one official champ (Fisher) one unofficial champ (Morphy) and has a player ranked 6th in the world right now. Also, we dominate at the Olymics. Not to mention world wars. so go fuck yourself you fucking pussy maggot! PWNED
@kakashi76767 It does take skill and intelligence to play a 0-0 tie actually. For a team not to concede a single goal in 90 minutes of play, skilful and intelligent defending is required. Also, the thing about the US doing so well in the Olympics has a lot to do with the US having such a large population. There are around 308 million people in the US, whereas the UK, Germany and France have less than that combined.
@F7HFL you could play to a 0-0 tie if everyone just laid down and took a nap. amazing stuff. thats what i feel like doing when i watch soccer. take a nap. You people must really be braindead if you can sit for hours and watch nothing important happening. I guess thats why there are so many riots. people get bored, drink a lot, and get pissed off. maybe its just a retarded game. Imagine 2 boxers not landing a punch for an entire fight. skillful defense? sure. exciting? NOPE.
@kakashi76767 u cant tell me u never watched ravens vs steelers go 10-10 and thought it was a great game. same can be said for someone who likes soccer. i like both. i think the idea in both sports of putting a ball on a field and asking 11 men go put in a small area against another 11 men. its the same game at its very basic
I agree with Bill on most of what he said but he's actually wrong about the U.S. on basketball cause I've seen the U.S. Olympic team getting their ass handed to them by random countries an American wouldn't think of, like Spain and Israel.
@davesqueakywheels it was created by a Canadian born gym teacher while he was working at a YMCA gym in Springfield, Massachusetts one rainy day, "but whatever."
Hey, at least in American football, if a person falls to the ground as though they've been shot, it's because some big 275-pound bum just ran right through them. As opposed to the European equivolent of someone flopping around like a Goddamn fish after a shoulder bump.
american football players are the best athletes in the world if u wonna argue this please aruge with me cuz its well documented taht nfl players are the biggest fastest srtongest athelets in the world
I never liked this debate. Bill is being a total ass here, he doesn't like football (soccer) cos he hasn't grown up with it, and doesn't understand it. There's a reason it's the biggest sport in the world. But honestly I feel it's his loss, nobody has to like soccer, nor does anyone have to like American football. The world doesn't really care about American "world champions" like baseball champs, American football champs ect. so it goes both ways
i was just about to post a negative comment on how he is glorifying everything american and trashing everybody else,i am from europe,and i agree on most of the topics with him,except this one...anyway,i am not gonna do that,because at the end he says "oh geeesus bunch of guy running around in shorts" that cracked me up,and i remembered why i listen to this podcast anyway.Peace
Fuck off Bill, American Football is dogshit. They're not world championships if only one country plays. What the fuck are you on about? Oh and by the way, Le Bron and Dwayne got their arses kicked in 2004. Serbia and Spain won in 2002 and 2006. So they make dickheads of themselves by calling themselves 'world champs'.

I love rugby, if you want to argue player fitness or something like that I would say you have argument. In terms of pure brutality, football was way more painful. Having someone plant their helmet into your solar plexus or having someones face mask run down your back as their tackling you is so fucking painful.

theres less then 10 minutes of actual play in american football. Watching "football" for 3hours and you get 10 minutes of actual play and the rest is adverts and players standing around

@Ofthehunt Google 11 minutes of play in american football "According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes."

@fennmanic22 i understand your point there, and i agree. But there is more to football than just the actual plays. You have to decipher your opposing defensive coverage. And vice versa.

10. Commercial breaks are a huge problem in US Football because it takes your attention away from the already minimal amount of build-up play in US football. It's also tacky and makes it look like the whole game has sold out, which may contribute to US football's lack of appeal anywhere except the USA. You don't really defend this at all, instead trying to focus attention on something you dislike about soccer which isn't really a problem anywhere.

9. It's just a bit dumb to name a sport after where it was made or where it is played unless it has a specific set of rules in one country compared to another, in which case you might call it Australian Rules Football or something like that (oh.)

8. American football is overrated as a sport because USAians believe it is one of the best sports in the world, but only a small minority of people outside of the USA enjoy it when other sports do have worldwide appeal.

7. I dislike the USA because I like your culture, but hate that mine is less visible to the world? (Your words, not mine.) If you're implying people hate US football because they're jealous of America then you might need to start giving people more credit. This isn't even relevant.

6. I don't understand why you're proud your sport has glaring safety oversights that cause the athletes you love and respect to die early and have huge neurological diseases at a young age. People get paralysed playing Rugby and have died playing rugby, we don't glorify it to make our sport sound tougher or harder than another because it is heartbreaking and should be activley avoided.

5. Rugby has rules about high tackles because it's not a retarded entertainment/sport hybrid like US Football or wrestling. We don't want to see big hits and people being killed/paralyzed for life. We want to see skill, teamwork and athleticism.

3. There is cynical play in every sport, including US Football. Diving is a problem in Soccer, sure, but no one goes around saying that it isn't a problem so what's your point?

2. The rest of the world doesn't play US Football because it doesn't appeal to many people without a USA mentality. Rugby, Soccer and Cricket are all quite different games but they have world-wide appeal at an elite level, which is why we can have a world cup. We don't think holding a US Football world cup is stupid, we just think calling what you have now a world event is dumb as hell.

Fun Fact 1: American Football began as basically a plagiarism of Rugby, but due to the violence it's early development was slow.
Fun Fact 2: Basketball was created by Canadadian man who, after growing up an orphan, moved to Massachusetts to become a gym teacher at a YMCA, where he created the game as an "athletic distraction" for his out of control class.

"You like our music" "It kills you that we don't pay attention to your shit." Uh, ever heard of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabath, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Who, The Sex Pistols etc..?
And didn't British singer Adele's latest album debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this year?
So the idea that the appreciation is all one way is ridiculous.

@ewwgingers Nah, I love Soccer, it's the world's most popular sport for a reason. I've tried to get into American Football, I just can't, it doesn't entertain me. I hate how it's constantly stopping and starting, it's the same reason I've never been able to get into Rugby. I get that people like the physicality and brutality of it but if it's physicality and brutality you want then why watch a ball game? Watch UFC where it's guys actually fighting each other.

American Football fans are mostly homophobic idiots. Stop making pathetic excuses about the lack of physicality in "soccer". By your logic every other non-physical sport in the world is gay, including Basketball. Unlike you, the rest of the world actually wants to watch sports where people use skill and intelligence instead of protein shakes and steroids. You just suck at "soccer". Plain and simple.
YouTuballer 8 months ago
@YouTuballer yeah soccer players use skill and intelligence to play to a 0-0 tie. :P How thrilling. If you want to talk intelligence, let me know when whatever country you come from has a world chess champion. The US had one official champ (Fisher) one unofficial champ (Morphy) and has a player ranked 6th in the world right now. Also, we dominate at the Olymics. Not to mention world wars. so go fuck yourself you fucking pussy maggot! PWNED
kakashi76767 8 months ago
@kakashi76767 It does take skill and intelligence to play a 0-0 tie actually. For a team not to concede a single goal in 90 minutes of play, skilful and intelligent defending is required. Also, the thing about the US doing so well in the Olympics has a lot to do with the US having such a large population. There are around 308 million people in the US, whereas the UK, Germany and France have less than that combined.
F7HFL 8 months ago
@F7HFL you could play to a 0-0 tie if everyone just laid down and took a nap. amazing stuff. thats what i feel like doing when i watch soccer. take a nap. You people must really be braindead if you can sit for hours and watch nothing important happening. I guess thats why there are so many riots. people get bored, drink a lot, and get pissed off. maybe its just a retarded game. Imagine 2 boxers not landing a punch for an entire fight. skillful defense? sure. exciting? NOPE.

@kakashi76767 u cant tell me u never watched ravens vs steelers go 10-10 and thought it was a great game. same can be said for someone who likes soccer. i like both. i think the idea in both sports of putting a ball on a field and asking 11 men go put in a small area against another 11 men. its the same game at its very basic

Hey, at least in American football, if a person falls to the ground as though they've been shot, it's because some big 275-pound bum just ran right through them. As opposed to the European equivolent of someone flopping around like a Goddamn fish after a shoulder bump.

I never liked this debate. Bill is being a total ass here, he doesn't like football (soccer) cos he hasn't grown up with it, and doesn't understand it. There's a reason it's the biggest sport in the world. But honestly I feel it's his loss, nobody has to like soccer, nor does anyone have to like American football. The world doesn't really care about American "world champions" like baseball champs, American football champs ect. so it goes both ways
