nah football americano gets boring after a while. also who has the patience to sit in a chair for 3 hours to watch 10 minutes or so of play? doesnt everybody say something like "i want that 2 hours and 50 minutes of my life back!" ? if you like seeing people get hit, hockey is much more vicious. People get destroyed playing hockey.
also football has no passion. Show me a football clip where the announcer goes this crazy
Speaking as someone who played soccer for 2 years, switched to football for a while, and then went back to soccer again, i have a pretty good idea of what's harder. Granted that my school is super crazy about football (we're like 17th in the nation, we could have been higher but we end up playing like our 5th string in most games since we always win by so much), i have to say that football is more intense. Yeah, yeah, soccer requires a bunch of endurance, finesse, and skill. It's hard to keep up at the end of the second half. Whoever said you can be the scrawniest kid on the field and be the best too is wrong, it's not like soccer isn't physical. If you're not strong you get pushed away/off the ball, simple as that. At my school though, the football players only get about a month and a half of off season. Winter weights are 3 hours 3 days a week. first half hour is warm up sprints, next hour or so is lifting, last hour or so is speed/agility. When spring football starts they run plays and shit on the off days. When summer starts they have practice every day from 7 in the morning til noon, and for a few weeks they go from 9 until 5. It's intense. Both sports are hard to compare, because they kind of require different types of endurance, but football is definitely the greater of two evils. Maybe it's just my school, i don't know.
if youth soccer in america wasnt such a joke compared to the competitive level of youth soccer in europe and brazil, then soccer would be way more intense than football. youth soccer in america is a joke
cause i want the united states soccer team to do well in the world cup. but right now the competitive level of soccer in america is no where near what it has to be in order to develop players that are on the level with other teams in the world cup
