futbol vs. football????

[damoney8888]

I have always wondered how in the world people can like soccer (futbol) more than football (NFL NCAAF)? Soccer is so much running and 0-0 scores, and really anyone can play, so how can people watch that more than the NFL?

[Super Saiyan 2 Teen Gohan]

FOOTBALL All The Way. NY GIANTS !

[~Jellal.F~]

Football all day Lets go Colts

[damoney8888]

Man colts aint nothing without Peyton. If he comes back soon enough, they could possibly make playoffs. But I think falcons vs. Ravens for super Bowl.

But I'd love to see giants vs. Jets too. Just see the giants win again, if they could possibly make it. And to show all jets fan that giants are the better new York team.

Soccer has its pros that's for sure. I'm not sure what they are, but I'm sure they are there. Soccer player's are notorious floppers, leading to giant cushion zones between players.
As an American I, as well as many others, enjoy violence. And football is one of the best sports on TV for pure violence. Except for the QB which is recently been put into an "off-limits" zone.

All that being said, the Eagles are taking the 'ship this year.

Qb is definitely not in an off-limits zone. They get sacked or tackled all the time.

Compare how they can get hit in today's game with how they could be hit, like 15 years ago.

It depends on culture. America has been deeply biased with American Football and Baseball. (btw, the word 'football' were invented by British and it's real meaning is for what you Americans derogatorily call as soccer. You, Americans, just created the word 'soccer' so that you may use that word for your US football, so don't get too high on that).

In fact, frankly, football's popularity is world-wide and even if it's not as practiced or popular in some countries, it's existence is known by everybody while I assure you, there are many countries where US football is far from being known even.

It depends on culture like I said before. It's the same for cricket being popular in India or Rugby in new Zealand/South Africa.

And you see US football as better only because you're American or nearby-it and it's culture is deep-inside your mind. It's not a matter of point of view but a matter of culture.

[kicknit]

I dislike soccer(futbol), and no one really watches or plays it in the US compared to Baseball and Football. So, I prefer American Football. I also bet the reason they call Football it's name, is because the game starts off with a kick off.

[hateful]

I played both in high school at the varsity level...
Fútbol: right center midfielder
Football: MLB
And I enjoyed both a lot, but being honest the reason Fútbol is so popular in the world is because it just costs a ball to play. And a lot of kids can afford a ball a hell of a lot easier than a helmet and shoulder pads.

[Nathan.]

Well at least there both better. Then Australia Football. Aka AFL.

[Siberia]

FOOTBALL (or soccer how you americans call it >__>) FTW

I have always wondered how in the world people can like soccer (futbol) more than football (NFL NCAAF)? Soccer is so much running and 0-0 scores, and really anyone can play, so how can people watch that more than the NFL?

You know I really hate it how you're formulating that as you're clearly extremely biased and oblivious to the differences between Football and American Football. They run in football...and? They do exactly the same in American football and everyone can play American football too. What's your point now?

The correct question is "why in the world do Americans like American Footbal so much?" and not "how in the world people can like soccer more than football?". Then you're being extremely biased. Everyone has his own opinion, however it's a fact that Football is way more popular and widespread than American Football. Why do you think they call it American Football? Because they play it in America. Do they even play that in other countries? As far as I know not, though it's still possible, however I've only heard about it in an American context. What they do play is Rugby. Countries like Australia and South Africa are very good at it, but that's different from American Football. I've never seen an American Football team here, but I've seen Rugby teams.

I'm also utterly disgusted that you refer to the original football as futbal and American Football as Football. Let this be clear, only Americans make a difference between what you call football and soccer, only Americans, no one else. Football refers first and foremost to what is called by the Americans soccer. So it's true in an American context when you say football they first will think about American football, however in a global context it's about soccer. As this is a global context you just called American football futball, even though that was not your intention. Keep that in mind that football refers to soccer to the world and that's a fact.

In Dutch it's called voetbal, which is the literal translation of football. In German it's Fussball, again a literal translation from football. In French it's le football. All of them refer to what America calls soccer. And do you know how we call American football? American football. We don't even have a translation for it. Also Football is mainly played with the feet, while American football is mainly played with the hands. It's fairly obvious to which sport football first refers too. The exception is America.

I have nothing against American football. Everyone has his own opinion about which sport is the best. That's something subjective and there isn't a correct answer on the question which is the best. But I do really hate the fact that America feels the need to call Football Soccer and American Football just Football. That they do that in America self I don't mind, but don't do it here. When most of the world favours football, don't make it sound like that they're weird because they don't like a sport which is focused mainly on one country.

The correct question is why do Americans like their football much more as they're the exception. The answer has already been said: it's just the culture. It's subjective which sport is the best, but it's a solid fact football is just way more popular and widespread. It's American Football that's the exception here.

It depends on culture. America has been deeply biased with American Football and Baseball. (btw, the word 'football' were invented by British and it's real meaning is for what you Americans derogatorily call as soccer.

Indeed.

[Migualon J.J.]

don´t get me wrong everyone, but i am most certain that 99% of those who said they like American Football are from America. i mean, come on, i personally don´t like American Football, and i enjoy Football (soccer if you want to). you ask why? because it´s far more easier to play Football than American Football and normal football can play ANYONE, your football can be played only by muscular (or fat) types of people (at least that´s how i see it from my point of view)


CALI´S WALL NO JUTSU STRIKES AGAIN, AHHHHH

[Swizzik]

lol why do americans call it football when they play mostly with their hands?
