16 games a season, 48 total minutes a game and u say that FUTBOL players are soft?

please, dont be jerks, ask an "american football" player that play for 90 plus minutes without a time out, or wait until your defense or offense are done, come on dont tried this b.s. of the "american football is harder. they dont have the stamina or the abilities of a FUTBOL player , and dont mention the guts of playing in some places like England, Brasil ,Germany.

Sometimes you get to rest during the game.
Reply:Soccer is soccer, and football is football. Soccer players definately have an endurance advantage, but Ik'd like to see a soccer player keep up with devin hester in a 100 yard dash..............bye bye!
Reply:No question soccer players have to be in great shape. But how would someone like Ronaldinho or David Beckham handle someone trying to decapitate them 20 times or so per game the way LaDainian Tomlinson has to deal with it. When there is contact in soccer it's not as jarring as Ray Lewis or Shawne Merriman hitting you with all sorts of bad intentions.
Reply:when did you hear this? I think american football players are tougher, and stronger, but soccer players have some serious endurance to play those long games without breaks or timeout.
Reply:Okay suit up a soccer player and have him catch a pass with 250 lbs linebacker coming at him. He'll piss himself right before being blown up. Soccer is a non-contact sport by any comparison to the real football. Come on stamina yeah they play for longer, but physically american Football is the tougher sport by far.
Reply:Ya you are completely right. I mean running around and falling down the second you get touched is soo hard. Only a true softy can play american football where little ******* like jason taylor and brian urlacher run at you full speed and try to kill you I agree Futbal takes more stamina but football is the third roughest sport(water polo, rugby).
Reply:I'll agree ok. Soccer is a game of endurance. Running endurance not total physical finess and power.



It's 2 totally different games!!!!!!!!!!!!



Go somewhere else to shove soccer down someone else's throats. We already know what the game is and many people have played it here.
Reply:listen you bitter moron, we don't come into your section and complain about your beloved sport! why don't you just go back to the futbol section so peace can be restored
Reply:who cares. Football is football and futbol is futbol. Does it matter what soccer players or football players think of each other. Screw You.
Reply:Last time I checked, 15 minutes times 4 quarters was 60 minutes, but I'm certainly no math person. You know, If soccer was played with full contact, I might actually agree with you. Or perhaps you mean flag football?



I'd like to see your futbol players in a game in an atmosphere like an ohio state, michigan game or an iron bowl. How about visiting the Hokies during a year that doesn't follow a national tragedy? How about a Bears Packers game? I don't have all the facts here, but do former soccer player suffer near as many serious health issues, mentally and physically, from their soccer days?



Have you ever seen wrestling? Have you seen gymnastics? Those are sports, not games. You don't play wrestling, you don't play gymnasitcs. You play soccer/futbol/whatever. I would put "toughness" for those sports way ahead of soccer. How about hockey?



Think before you post something like this.
Reply:I disagree, because in american football you have to lift weights and strengthen evry part of your body for stamina and soccer (or futball) just focuses on your legs (I play soccer so I know.) And I play football and when you run you have all that padding on which adds about 8-15lbs depending what size pads you have. Football wins over Futball in Stamina and Skills



Skills: futball is most focused on foot work. some on blocking and throwing.



but for Football it takes the ability to juke, spin, block, jump, break tackles, live the beatings (soccer you rarely have to take beatings), able to tackle, able to kick a FG, punt, catching, carrying, speed, and throwing.
Reply:dammit man i feel like I'm on nascar's Q-n-A. when F1 fan's try to aggravate us.TWO VERY DIFFERENT SPORTS MAN.i played soccer and loved it.couldn't play football though.you answered your own ? speaking of stamina is to apples and oranges.speed and agility is to soccer as brute force and strength is to football.just curious do you even know any peeps from those teams you mentioned.
Reply:this is actually true, i agree with you 100 %. Futbol players play 90 minute straight with only a half time. No time outs and they also have additional times for the delay of injuries and outs. So FUTBOL is the sh*t not "American football where all they do is throw catch and run like they are running away from a cop.
