ITS TRUE

What the bloddy hell is a 'yank'. is bloddy hell bad in britan...?

I HAVE TWO MORE REASONS:
Pro football players could kick pro soccer players asses.

As for your 'rugby' being more manly... most British are little whimps with no muscle who couldn't hurt eachother if they tried.

Answer 1

Ther is no thing as British "SOCCER"
It is called English FOOTBALL
Get off our site you big fast food eating yank
CAN I HAVE A DIET COKE WITH THAT PLEEEEEASE

Answer 2

Much better looking trophy given to the champions
And big fat ugly diamond encrusted rings to show your friends

Overtime is sudden death ... first to score, wins
After 3 hours or more to play four 15 minute quarters who would want it to last any longer

Championships not decided by the random guessing game that is a penalty kick
Normally they are decided by the little guy who is actually the only who kicks the ball

We won't have to wait another four years for a new Super Bowl champion
Actually we have many competitions so we don’t need to wait and our “world cup” is in fact played by most countries in the world

No third-place game played before the Super Bowl
If the game took 4 hours or longer I wouldn’t want it either

The French aren't any good at our football
Yes, this true but with so few countries playing American football why single out the French?

Football has cheerleaders who wear revealing clothing
I agree this is a good thing with all the long timeouts you have in a game you need something to look at

No need to make apologies when you tell friends you're a football fan
You only need to appologise when your team has lost more than 8 of the 16 you play all year

Players only carried off field on stretchers for real, serious injuries
How can any-one believe you don’t have a “real serious injury” when you wear that much padding

Our football players can use their hands, and feet, and whatever else they feel like using
Actually I didn’t think that most of the players were able to use “whatever” without being flagged

Preventive defense only played in final couple minutes, rather than 90 minutes
What kind of defense is not trying to prevent the other team scoring? If you mean boring defense then you also play preventive offence if one team is winning by a large enough score

A blowout isn't 2-0
That’s good as math doesn’t seem to be a strong point for you. Why do you need to score THREE points for a field goal?

Fat guys can play
When the game involves so much pushing you NEED to be fat and if you only need to run ten yards each time why do you need to be athletic?

There's no pretending to be hurt
This is because every play your opponent is trying to make sure you don’t need to pretend

The U.S. would never lose to Ghana in a game of football
Is this why you won’t play them? Have you lost to them at soccer?

Ties rarely ever happen
A Draw is not considered a result as no-one can say “We won! You lost!” for next few weeks

There's no pretending to be fouled
Yes! No-one would dive to the ground to claim pass interference or anything like that with instant replays from a hundred cameras and an equal number of experts!

Here is just a few reasons why soccer is better
You only need a ball and an area on which to play
You dont need to changes the rules if you don't have the padding
You dont need to have a tape measure to decide who is winning
One referee is enough
You dont stop after 5 to 10 seconds to aks the coach what to do next
Everyone can play not just the tall, fat steroid boosted guy

Answer 3

You forgot 1 other - The Superbowl is played only by USA and that's suppose to be the world champions.!!!
Where is the world in that picture.!!!
Good looking trophy i suppose that would be very important for the land of make believe(Hollywood).!!!
A penalty is not a guessing game, it take's skill to put the ball in between the goal posts.!!!
I am there to watch a game not a bunch of cheer-leaders with revealing clothing, if i want revealing i will go to a strip club.!!!
Apologies for what with that amount of padding they look like a bunch of steroid freaks, baby's can't take the pain perhaps not like Rugby players(no padding lots of bruise's).!!!
Real rumbles unlike the one i saw of Florida University playing some or other side where everybody is fighting and no injuries.!!!
Ghana don't play American Football so i guess you right on that one, must rub you's up though when you lose to a small country like Ghana in the Soccer World Cup.!!!
The French don't play MUG games.!!!
Wimps are you.!!!

Answer 4

LMAO lets take them in order to prove you wrong.
1) Much better looking trophy given to the champions.
wouldn't know what your Cup looked like, like most of the Rest of the World, but show the Football World cup to over 75% of the World and they would know what it was.
2)Overtime is sudden death ... first to score, wins
Why not play sudden death at the beginning to put an end to such a boring game!.
3) Championships not decided by the random guessing game that is a penalty kick.
Not 1 Penalty kick, but a minimum of 10 Penalty kicks.
4) We won't have to wait another four years for a new Super Bowl champion.
yep you have your Super Bore Championship every year, But the Football World Cup comprises of 100's of teams World wide, so it's takes 4 years to get the teams qualified for the tournament itself.
5) No third-place game played before the Super Bowl.
Does this mean the American won't be counting any Olympic 3rd place Bronze Medals they may win in the future?.
6) The French aren't any good at our football.
True, who ever would have thought that the French were more intelligent than the Amercians!.
7) Football has cheerleaders who wear revealing clothing.
I watch a football game for the skill shown and the love of the sport, if that's what you want then go to strip Joint!.
8) No need to make apologies when you tell friends you're a football fan.
Sorry to tell you this but Soccer has far more followers world wide than that joke of a game you call Gridiron Football!. We have to make apologies if we say we like Gridiron.
9) Players only carried off field on stretchers for real, serious injuries.
Have you ever seen a game of Rugby Football?. ( A real Man's Game, no Helmets, No body armour, they don't need oxygen if they run more than 10 yards, and they play out the full game).
10)
Our football players can use their hands, and feet, and whatever else they feel like using.
Any fool can do that!, try just using your head and feet, that's real skill!.
11) Preventive defense only played in final couple minutes, rather than 90 minutes.
Defence takes as much skill as attack.
12) blowout isn't 2-0.
You Fool it's quality not quantity!.
13) Fat guys can play.
and your point being?.
14) There's no pretending to be hurt.
True but then in Gridiron they cheat other ways, I.E grabbing the face guard.
15) The U.S. would never lose to Ghana in a game of football.
I take it you mean at Gridiron, No the Ghanains ave more sense that to play such a boring game.
16) Ties rarely ever happen.
They never do in Soccer, but they do draw at times!
17) There's no pretending to be fouled.
true but it gives the World a chance to call the teams that do cheats!.
If Gridiron Football consists of four 15 minute quarters, why does it take 3 hurs to play a game?. In soccer the T.V Companies can't call time outs for ad breaks!. Your game sucks!.

Answer 5

Here is the problem when football and football are face to face. International (world wide) Soccer will always be on top of the sports scene. It is simple, American football is only a factor in a very small section of our globe.

I am a proud american soccer lover. It is on our LCD TV 20 hours a day minus 4 hours for paid programming. I coach and train boys and my children love it. You also need to be aware that there are hundreds of thousands of us and growing.



Get a grip.

Answer 6

Nice list, BUT there are even MORE reasons as to why football/soccer is better than American football.

Answer 7

You seem to be confirming what the rest of the world thinks about Americans. That is that you have the conviction that what you do is 100% correct, when the evidence is inevitably 100% to the contrary. I personally think that the main world contribution of american football and baseball is that they limit american interest in better sports, such as association football, rugby football and of course cricket.

If american football, which is a stupid bastardisation of rugger and trench warfare, restricts the arrogance and influence of Americans in the ruling bodies of sensible sports, then it can indeed be seen as a good thing.

Answer 8

You're welcome to your opinion, but let's make one thing clear

It's not 'British soccer/football' or 'English' at all. It's not 'Eurpean' either.

It's international. American Football is played by America and Canada.

Football, though is truely international, which is why the World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world.

Answer 9

Only played by Americans.

The rest of the world including many Americans play soccer.

Answer 10

American Football. Any sport where a game lasts 2 hrs and there is really only about 15 min of actual ball movement is a sport to be proud of. ;-)

Answer 11

Oh yes, of course.

The United States can claim absolute moral superiority over every other nation on earth. How stupid of us to forget.

I forgive you, because you are obviously young. But at the same time , please be aware that you are enjoying a sheltered childhood in a nation which is ridiculed and reviled throughout the rest of the world. And- in YOUR lifetime- this will have terrible consequenses for you.

Your only hope is to vote democrat, and try to restore democracy.

PS if you are unsure about the terms "vote"., and "democrat", I suggest you consult Wickipedia.
