American Football > European Football
I just can't stand 2 teams kicking a ball for an hour. And what's more? It takes a billion years to score a goal.
What more? Those fucking announcers that scream on the top of their lungs, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL.
Screw you, I'd rather watch American football.

While you do make a valid point, you must also understand that these football players take real pain.
American football is far more complicated than European football will EVER be. It may seem simple, but the actual plays and what's happening is very complicated. Hence the reason why it attracts me.
Tight cloths? Psht, I went to London and saw nothing but white boys with leather pants on. I was laughing for 2 weeks, non-stop
patriots have it wrapped up tbh, give it them now, brady is the most on form quarterback this season, aside from rothelsberger (spelling) who plays for the steelers, they went out last round so the pats will take it tbh. Only chance the eagles have is if they can get their rushing game going somehow vs the pats def lineup, cant see them leaking too many yards or long yardage passes thoug to be honest:)

i dont really want to make sweeping generalisations of a nations sports, but all american sports arent made to be good games, but just good for tv. its all about creating an exciting moment that you can replay a thousand times. this is why there are so many rules to complicate things, they usually change the rule even if its good tactics because it might be bad for tv.
americans seem to love complicated things, so many pointless rules and they love to be bombarded with stats even though stats dont mean anything and each game just depends on the conditions of when the game is played.
americans hate soccer because there is rarely exciting moments, but people with attention spans love it because it a constant battle and its about the teams that are there on the pitch (not like an entire team substitution when they change from offence to defence o_O wtf) i dunno i just prefer a game that doesnt stop for replays all the time and is all about skill not looking good...
wow that was a bit of a incoherent rant
There's a nice sentence telling in french "On ne compare pas ce qui n'est pas comparable" meaning "useless to compare wich is uncomparable" (try google for a better translation lol)
What's the point of comparing soccer/football with american football?....
Its like comparing Bush with a beaver poo.... uh no wrong example.
But you understood what i meant, football is football, american football is .. american football.
(rugby is cool btw
and beaver poo's too!)
