Does European Football Own American Football?

Question

I think so because it has better history. The talent runs deeper. The fans are better. The game is faster and non stop. The players are more technically skilled and have to be in better shape unlike Fatball.

Check these amazing fans out. Held back in the Stadium after a loss.

Woohoo..can't wait for English football(real football) to start tomorrow!!

Answer 1

seeing as soccer is the most famous sport in the world, you make a good point.  but it's a matter of opinion.

okay, these people probably think that the world revolves around the US or something.  but in the world, soccer is better because almost everyone has a team while in football, not too many places around the world have a team.

Answer 2

you've got to be kidding.. never seen anything more obnoxious than a bunch of Euro trash fans ..

Answer 3

First off, congratulations, you managed to tick everyone off in the American football section on Yahoo answers.

Great accomplishment.

What you and guys like you need to understand is that we don't care anything about your soccer. (You call it football, I call it soccer)

We don't follow it.

We don't know anything about it.

We don't want to know anything about it.

We don't care who wins it.

90% of Americans couldn't even tell you the name of one team in your European soccer.

We just don't care.

We have our own football, that fills hundreds of gigantic stadiums every weekend and has tens of millions of people watching on tv at the same time.

So you like your soccer, great, good for you, watch it until you pass out.

We prefer our football and are perfectly content with it.

Soccer is a 3rd rate sport for 3rd world countries.

Answer 4

Only for idiots who don't their own fricken' history, limey.

Yes American football players are in such bad shape they can't fake injuries from minor contact to try and draw red cards.

Answer 5

It hilarious that American Football fans are exhibiting the EXACT behavior when answering this question, that they use as an insult to Soccer fans.

American Football fans--by and large--are less interested in the game than they are in "Good Hits" and Funny commercials about talking frogs and fat guys who get hot chicks because they drink Bud Light.

Just check ESPN any Sunday or Monday during the season.  Never a breakdown of strategy, but always a segment or two about tackles from the blindside.

American Football (and I live in Virginia) is a dumb game.

Answer 6

You're funny.  Last time I checked there have been no riots over American Football games.  And when there is a score in American football the players don't prance around like a bunch of sissies.  

Perhaps you should study up more on the sport of American football before you make uninformed statements.  Out of shape?  I'd like to see you say that face to face with a Pro NFL player.

Answer 7

Fast is the one word NEVER associated with Soccer. You must be smoking some sticky bud... Just sit back, enjoy your soccer and shut up, let us watch real men play football without having to put up with your nonsense. Almost makes me wish we hadn't rescued them in 2, count 'em 2, World Wars!

Answer 8

You may want to check yourself into rehab.  I here they do great things with drug addictions and they should be able to get you off them in no time.  Humans have evolved, we've devolped thumbs, pick the d**n ball up.

Answer 9

They are two different games that (unfortunately) share a common name.  You might as well compare tennis and table tennis.

Answer 10

I count about eight lies in your question. Take any of your "real" football players to the United States. I know a few 6'5, 320 pound defensive ends that can teach them a thing or two about "physical conditioning".

Answer 11

h**l no you.... must be on crack...why don't you move to sissy europe

Answer 12

Are you kidding? Soccer fans are the worst fans in the word. They throw flares at opposing teams they get in huge fights over a game. That never happens in the NFL.. Get out of here. It's unamerican to not like American football. Go to Europe where somebody actually cares about soccer.  

Answer 13

Actually, European Football (namely Manchester United) is owned by American Football.  To get really specific, the owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL) owns Manchester United.

Also, if you think American Football players are fat loads, you're sadly mistaken.  Keep your games of organized running with no scoring on your side of the pond.  Drink a little less booze and those soccer matches won't be nearly as much fun.

Answer 14

European football, couldn't carry AMERICAN footballs jock strap!!!

there are three other football categories, on here. why don't You go to one of those?

OH, thats right. nobody is on there!
