When Football Meets Football

[BeccaWei25331]

I'm American, and prefer association football to American football, but I checked, and apparently there's an "IFAF World Championship of American Football".

[Hitmonchan107]

@BeccaWei25331 But it isn't successful due to the lack of interest for American Football. Like baseball, football is usually a nation sport only recognized by the nation and played by the nation. USA and Canada are the (only) two nations who like football.

[USsoccer4evr]

is it me or does demarcus beasly remind you of chris rock?

[fluffymole0913]

@topownedbutgf Germany, Sweden, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Norway etc. Are all countries that would easily afford to play American football and don't play Rugby. Your comment makes it seem as if you feel Football is a cheap sport. Even though it is the richest sport on earth and in big leagues like Italy's, Spain's and England's players could be paid up to £200,000 a week. Sorry if you didnt mean football was cheap, but American Football is only USA.

[ant8tfive]

@fluffymole0913 exactly. the sheiks that own man city could buy the NFL ten times over.

[gringofreestyler]

Real football = A sport that uses combinations of skill, teamwork, and physical ability.

American football = A sport that uses physical ability.

Real football wins by a long shot. You could easily train a very athletic pro soccer player to be at least a D1 college American football player in 1yr with no previous experience. The same could not be said for the opposite. It would be impossible to train some one in real football that quickly no matter their athleticism.

[gsryank]

@gringofreestyler You clearly know nothing about american football if you think it dosent take skill and teamwork and im pretty sure if they had an entire year of training there are plenty of players who could play college soccer just as many as could switch from football to soccer

[powerlift777]

@gringofreestyler American football takes an insane amount of skill, coordination, team work, and mental and physical ability.

[Gocavs1990]

@powerlift777 it lacks creativity 

[LoneNinja321]

@gringofreestyler so if you're saying american football doesn't include team work or skill, i'd like to tell you that if one man decides not to block the play is ruined. if one man does the wrong play the play is ruined...and skill? it takes a LOT of skill to play i mean lineman is one of the most physical spots to play every play you're getting hammered and fighting back. plus you need to be able to squat at least 450 in order to play there. running backs have speed, agility, and reactions.

[supahdupahguy81]

When football meets handegg, gridiron, sumoball, coconut chasing, gimp-suit ball etc etc..

[topownedbutgf]

im tired of this no other country plays our type of football because most all other countrys cant afford it the uk can but they have the european tradition of soccer and they have rugby which i would find scary to play

[wildgrasse]

Landon Donovan nailed it! wow! lol <3333

[claurio]

FUTSAL IS THE BEST!!! SOCCER IN A COURT!!!!

[ChildMangler]

All sports suck. Video games are FTW

[DavidBIGdArruda]

On another note, forget the Seahawks like the announcer said, they should strap pads on and play for the Raiders, they could use the help.

[SoundOfDnB]

Rugby is MY favorite

[oliversenord]

Football is way better (European Football)

[delarus]

any can play football but just artists and athletes can play soccer.

[lordofwrath88]

How do you think Onyewu would do at rugby?

[akondad]

[DjJPINEDA]

Soccer is still better

[MEXICANlivinginPA]

[xxjaydxx102494]

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@xxjaydxx102494 sweden canada japan germany mexico spain and quite a few more all have atleast an under 19 national team

[Idree]

Lol, no other countries play your type of "Football"

[murphdawg40]

@Idree not true

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@Idree wrong half of europe have national american football teams as does japan and a few other countries in asia

[CRUClO]

@bigbirdgrappler60 What countries in Europe has a national American football team?

I have never heard of one

[rogerpenna]

@bigbirdgrappler60

yes, but they are almost amateurs.

[capodiloco]

@bigbirdgrappler60, really ?

These teams must be invisible.

There are a couple teams.

But I've never seen one.

Seeing a baseball field is even rare.

Most of the big cities do have one basketball team.

[DavidBIGdArruda]

@Idree Awesome, guess that makes gridiron football our little secret. ;)

[josegoofy214]

@Idree haha true that..american football is actually called eggball

[Killadelphi420]

@Idree you are dumb...they have nfl europe league lmao

[supahdupahguy81]

@Killadelphi420

No actually they dont anymore, NFL Europe closed down several years ago b'coz nobody cared about it except American ex-pats living in Germany....

[Atheist603]

@Idree canada does

[juan1189]

@Idree canada and mexico do!

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@chisox317707 canada has beaten our national team before.....

[pinkhippie135]

@bigbirdgrappler60 There is a National USA Am. Football team?? didnt even know there was international Football, probably USA beat just about every team just about every time cuz no one really cares...

[thenerdyirishman]

haha that's great

[FilipH86]

lots of catching with the arms in the beginning, now how the hell can you call that sport football, it does not involve your feet nor a ball, a ball is round.

[thebucha90]

cause it evolved from soccer or football for you and rugby, and they just never changed the name to like ... handball or something

[princeramsey]

It's simple really. The ball is a foot long.
