Messi and Ibrahimovic are forwards but their styles are very different. Messi is more of a playmaker with a lot of skill and speed while Ibrahimovic is scorer that relies more on power and strength.
every position on the soccer field is drastically different and has different strategy. Every country has different strategy. Soccer is as much a chessgame as basketball or football. Just because they don't draw up every single play and stop the action for every damn play(what I hate about Football), does not mean there is no strategy.
they only thing Football is more similar to chess is because action is stopped for every single play. Boring.

american football is better because the equipment costs more...
All we need is for Parker to leave in 2011 and we won't have to worry about this anymore.
/thread.
It's easy to see how nationalism almost always creeps into these debates when a thread about Tony Parker playing for the French NT becomes a discussion about whether or not soccer actually involves strategy and/or skill.
I still can't help thinking that if Parker had sprained his ankle in a pick up game in San Antonio that there'd be a lot less emotion and anger over it.
I was explaining the popularity of soccer, not the greatness of Football thereamerican football is better because the equipment costs more...
You're all re s. The greatest sport known to man is basketball.
This is still a basketball forum, right?

Olympic gold medal >>> NBA ship
awesome, lets see France pay for his many houses with that "gold medal" then since its more important than the NBA.
If it were not for the specific players currently competing in the NBA that I am a fan of, I could easily move to Europe ( Slovenia especially), root for a National team there and not miss the NBA.
On the whole, I enjoy the olympics/ international compe ion a great deal more than I relish the nba finals- exciting as those are when a team I like is in them.
Football is great sport, it's a simple game but very enjoyable to play and to watch.
American Football is pathetic, it's 90% violence and 10% sport.
France is not going to win an Olympic gold medal anyway.
you never got it and never will.
Manu's play in the olympics to get the gold will stay in argentinian memories (and in mine) way longer than his splendid performance in the 05 finals. Now call me a fake spurs fan all you want or a nationalist if that pleases you.
Olympic medal is more important to the fans. If a player doesn't care about it, he doesn't play for the NT, the end. But apparently most players do care.
National pride is not something easy to explain, you feel it or you don't.
EricB doesn't like me.
That's TPark for youEricB doesn't like me.

it's only dumb that you responded, I know it's not going to happen or realistic which is why I said it and he is not playing this summer so the potential for him getting injured is not related to USA ball. I said that also in less words. You cats cry too much and fail to read for understanding. There was nothing serious in my post which is basically what I said also.dumb.
#1 CP3 did play for his country and will probably play again.
#2 Trade of Parker for CP3 only would happen in your imagination.
they making a run for the 2009 championship but again it was ranting and all in fun...
Imagine a doctor stating that an injury isn't serious in hopes that the player will play for the NT to win the le.
Imagine the player re-injuring the ankle and ending his career 10 years too early because national pride got in the way of common sense.
