it's an insult to the beautiful game to be compared to a skills challenge like baseball.
I've played baseball, Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, Football..all in a somewhat compe ive level and nothing compares to soccer in terms of intensity and endurance..
Basketball and Hockey are tiring as fuk as well.
Football was a breeze...
But, IMO, baseball is one sport you xan't juts randomly play without some sort of compe ive experience...
Hitting a ball is not easy..Srs.
That was by far the dumbest take I've read in spurstalk for a while..Sorry to break it down for you butyou have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I'm actually a former semi-pro footballer. Thanks for asking.
Soccer is totally different animal..It's the most physically demanding sport I've ever played in my life...
Oh, so an extra mile and a half? Like what, a extra 9-10 minutes of running?The ? Do you even know how big a soccer pitch is?

Wow what athletic amazement
What the does walking around with a ball on your foot have to do with soccer? It's like me saying try catching a ball with your eyes closed.That hitting 90mph fastball is a pro thing, walking with a ball in your feet isn't. It isn't really that hard to understand right?
It was an extreme example of the most a baseball player could ever run on a game vs the average a goalie runs on a game. I don't even know what you're arguing. A made up example of an outfielder hitting 3 home runs in a game and getting every out on the defensive end comes up 1 and a half mile short of the average a keeper runs on a soccer match. Congrats, I guess.
I'm saying that even the most basic skill of soccer (dribling) takes a whole lot of effort to master. I thought that point was clear.What the does walking around with a ball on your foot have to do with soccer? It's like me saying try catching a ball with your eyes closed.
And no, walking with a ball in your feet is easier than actual dribbling, trying to catch a ball with your eyes closed isn't easier than catching a ball with your eyes open which is what baseball player do. smh.
mehhh, soccer nuthuggers here love to flail about how soccer is so ing athletic but in the end it only amounts to jogging a few extra miles that any 50 year old menopausal woman that has a 26.2 bumper sticker on her Toyota prius can do.It was an extreme example of the most a baseball player could ever run on a game vs the average a goalie runs on a game.

Any basic skill in any sport takes a lot of effort to master. I don't see how mastering the art of dribbling a ball with your feet in futbol takes a lot more effort than hitting or catching a live ball in a game. I know you want to come off as a big time athlete or some because futbol/soccer is your sport, but I've played it off and on my entire life and it really doesn't require any more effort to learn than any other sport I've learned to play.I'm saying that even the most basic skill of soccer (dribling) takes a whole lot of effort to master.

Hitting a baseball well is extremely difficult, that's why the best hitters in the game do it no more than 1/3rd of the time they stand at the plate.
In order to play soccer at the pro level you have to be in peak physical condition. You can't be a fatass like in mlb.
Soccer requires speed, endurance and elite foot eye coordination.
you have no idea what you're talking about and I am 100% sure your cardio sucks.
So I'm wrong so my personal cardio sucks.
that's showing me.
Rofl that's 0.124 miles.On average a soccer player runs only around 200 meters with the ball during a game.

Lol soccer nut huggers
Ask Steve nash..
Every damn Athlete in the world who have played soccer before admit how much endurance plays in soccer..Nothing comes close.
You obviously haven't played the sports at a high level like some of us do here, so it's funny that you here trying to argue about sports.
Did you ever play D1,D2,D3 Sports?
Why do baseball fans keep reverting their arguments to the "skills" portion of the game? I don't think anybody would deny the difficulty in either batting or pitching, tbh..
I'm not even a baseball hater, but I don't see how it can be argued as an "athletic" sport when you compare it to soccer/basketball/football/tennis, etc..
You just proved you haven't played the sports at all..
Thanks.
Let the the guys who have played some sort of compe ive sport talk about sports..Ok.
I actually tried baseball in High School, the coach made me try out because of my arm strength(displayed in dodgeball, tbh), and while I had the power to throw, I had virtually no accuracy..I have no idea how pro pitchers can throw with that type of velocity, yet remain accurate, it is amazing..
Not athletic, though..
The funny thing is that Soccer and Hockey probably requires more complex skills than baseball...
I admit, not everyone can hit triple 20's in darts...Good for baseball they have something like that going for them.
Rofl i don't give a about Steve Nash.
You guys are the ones trying to claim you have to be bad ass athletically to play soccer, but you can be a fat piece of and be an MLB MVP.
go ask Barry Bonds
you can be a fat peixe of in the MLB. pretty sure the pix are enough to prove that.
And yes you have to be a total bad ass with endurance to play compe ive soccer..
Not sure what you have proven in this thread.
I just proved the guy with ball runs a tenth of a mile per game while the rest are just running.
you guys argument basically means that skinny little marathon dudes are the best athletes in the world
Those fat pieces of are athletic too, dumbass.
Lol soccer idiots
Nope...
have you played any compe ive ball before? Semi-pro?
college? even HS?
Provincial?
People should watch the Royals. Their team is very athletic outside of the DH.
