if soccer was the most popular sport in the United States

nikkas acting like kicking a ball is like playing chess now.

nikkas are just coming up with all types of lame excuses.

Idiot

 

[dennis roadman]

yeah, but we're doing better than the UK

Anyways, I was lurking bodybuilder a few days ago, and a few people actually had the nerve to say that Cristiano Ronaldo is a better athlete than Lebron fukking James. some of them said that Ronaldo would most likely make it in the NBA than Lebron making it into professional football.

the thought of ronaldo slashing through the lane for the wizards

I can also easily post pictures of World Class players over 6 feet. That center of gravity argument is nonsense. Having a low center of gravity HELPS if you want to have immaculate ball control and being able to change direction with the ball quickly, but its not a MUST.

for most midfielders its pretty much a must.

I dont really understand why people want to defy this. in football (american obviously) some of the best running backs are 5'10ish and have very low center of gravity that makes them hard to tackle (which is ideal) and also makes them extremely agile in terms of changing directions.

MJD=5'7
Gore=5'9
Ray Rice=5'8
Sproles=5'6

so many moments to wank it and only for 48 minutes

Only thing is there is the Egyptians are not better technically. If that was the case most of there players would be at fairly big European sides.

Reason why they win is they have more players who play for the same teams and they build synergy. If they was so good they would make some damage at the world cup.

So why do the North African teams dominate the African Champions League? Let me guess its because of money right?

No different to what Spain & Germany do, or is that different? And doesnt that defeat your arguement because if they all play for the same team they would qualify for the world cup, no? Like I said qualifying for a tournament is harder than competing in it

they won't hear you though

to Americans, size is more important than intelligence

kicking a ball around doesnt require intelligence.

Exactly. They making this shyt rocket science.

OOO let's play this game, I'll bite.

The game where you whittle an activity down to an ridiculous abstraction. This could of course work for any activity possibly ever, and could describe all actions that humans do for all intents and purposes and for lack of a better phrase as fukking retarded, but let's keep it to sports.

American Football

Grown men in plastic striking each other violently as a pale piece of meat throws the 'ball' to a dark piece of meat with braids down a lawn. Called 'football' even though they aren't even really playing with a ball.

Baseball

Swinging a piece of wood at a tiny ball.

Basketball

Lobbing a ball at a hoop in the sky. No intelligence required.

Soccer

Kicking a ball

I think we have all these sports figured out

Soccer:

Kicking a ball up and down the field for 90 min and the final score is 0-0.

The best North African players play in North Africa. The best West African players are in Europe by 22. Look at the Ghana side that won the U20's. Only a handful still play on the continent and I think only 1 of them plays outfield.

I genuinely don't think the W. Afrcan teams care as much about the AFCON. They all turn it on when it comes to the WC qualification.

If the Egyptians were genuinely technically better they would be in Europe, this is a fact.
