Soo doo y'all ever think y'all have run out of arguments in this soccer vs stickball slinging fest?
I already said soccer would score goals as 3pts and give penalty kicks with 1 pt for most penalties.
Baseball should not count outs. Just have an inning end after 16 pitches. Offense can send anyone up to bat and can pull them off bat as well. Basically more like the Pokemon card game.
Soccer is basically just a bunch of give and go's trying to catch the defender sleeping, child's play.
Now football, that's a chess match. Reading a defense, calling audibles, dozens of formations, 1000s of plays to learn and imposing your physical will on another human being. Nothing quite like it.
Its a beautiful game...not really a huge soccer fan but it is. Its just all that flopping I hate which is why it sneaking into the NBA pisses me off.
When I was younger I hated that most games were low scoring...as I got older the thrill became how crucial it is to score 1 goal and all the oh that was close moments. It's not an American type sport tho
It boggles my mind that soccer fans can defend the penalty kick/penalty shootout dynamic.
When goals are at such a premium in soccer, it's highly in' stupid to basically give a team a 90% chance of scoring just because a player was fouled in the box. In many of those cases, the player wasn't even in an advantageous scoring position.
And Jesus Christ, penalty shootouts. Imagine ending a basketball game after the 2nd overtime or something on a 3 point contest. Or ending a baseball game after the 12th inning on a home run derby. A penalty shootout barely resembles the core gameplay of soccer, but yet it's used to decide important matches. And it's used A LOT since soccer ends in a tie 50% of the in' time.
"Well, if they didn't use shootouts, the game could on forever and players would die or something."
And that exactly illustrates the problem with soccer. That it can conceivable go on forever without a team scoring, so you're forced to end it with some arbitrary minigame.
Sorry. Soccer's gameplay design is absolutely horrid.
No he isn't actually.
this obese fat is one of the best "athletes" in American Cricket
Here's one, though.

Faster than any povertyball player on planet Earth, 23.3 mph
You guys are still using the ty meme that the "best baseball players" are fat?Football and baseball require a brain. You get trained like a dog to do the same things over and over and all you have to do is the pre-determined activity the coach tells you to do. Baseball, you literally stand around and even then you have to have a coach to tell you whether or not to run to home plate
They aren't.
And I've already definitely proven that generally speaking, baseball players are more all around athletic than soccer players. Just because there's a few fat players playing specialized positions doesn't change that fact.
Mike Trout is 6'2" 230lb, and runs faster and jumps higher than that Ken Doll looking got Ronaldo.
And since when does a coach tell a player how to hit a pitch from the dugout?
Hitting major league pitching is all about "using your brain."
And for fielding:So, back to you now in the batter's box. You can at least take comfort in knowing that the pitcher you're facing only has a few pitches: a fastball, a changeup, and maybe a slider or a curveball. You've practiced hitting each of those pitches thousands of times during your career, and can draw on your knowledge of those at-bats. There are also cues like the pitcher's arm speed and the rotation of the ball that help you make an educated guess about what pitch is coming. You may need to get used to a pitcher's speed, but you have a decent idea of where the ball is going
Like hitting, fielding also seems like it should be a mental and physical impossibility -- which makes it fascinating to psychology researchers. If you put a player in the outfield and make him stay put, he is actually quite bad at predicting where a ball is going to land, yet he will run effortlessly to that spot when allowed to do so. How?
One of the first theories developed to explain fly-ball catching was developed by physicist Seville Chapman, who hypothesized that fielders used the acceleration of the ball to help them determine where the ball will land.

Andthe game could go on forever
If only the biggest sporting event in North America hasn't been decided by kicking the ball into a 20x18 goal post NUMEROUS times.
That's an essential part of the game, though, built into football's core gameplay (a team can CHOOSE to score that way).If only the biggest sporting event in North America hasn't been decided by kicking the ball into a 20x18 goal post NUMEROUS times.
A penalty shootout is not. Now, if the two teams had a field goal shootout, then you would have a point.
You're reaching here. It's a flawed concept. There's no excusing it.
Batball
Beisbol
Fat man's cricket, tbh.

No, I'd rather watch a sport that doesn't end in a tie nor is decided by arbitrary minigames. The beauty of baseball is you're never out of it.Fat Fielder is the 10th highest paid player in a league of over 700 players
And
Check out how the Yankess rallied from 6 runs down in the 9th to beat the Rangers.

In povertyball, the game goes like this:
Score.
Park bus.
Give up equalizer or win.
If former, go to a penalty shootout.
And there's bad baseball contracts all the time. Prince Fielder is like the Dwight Howard of the NBA.
He was also faster than Ronaldo.
Prince's 60 yard dash time: 6.8, 26.4 feet per second.
Ronaldo's 82 feet dash time: 3.61 seconds, 22.7 feet per second
Since when are pure athletes guaranteed big contracts? James Flight White was a great athlete and was garbage.Also midnightpulp
Anyhow, baseball's best all around athlete is probably Mike Trout. Fastest than Ronaldo despite weighing 50 lbs more. Jumps higher than him, too.
Ronaldo and his 30" running vert
Seriously, when you watch povertyball over there in Europe, how are you not completely underwhelmed with the athletic "prowess" of the players, being raised watching stuff like this:
Come home to American sports, brother. Leave the "We Tied Again: The Game" to the foreigners and hipsters
Clearly you either haven't watched many games or you don't know how to watch them. Actually, probably both tbh
I agree, they called it FOOT-ball b/c kicking the ball w/ your feet is the central core of the game.
And it's cost him.
He's barely been above replacement level for the last 4 seasons. His contract was Kirby bad.
He also has a 24 million dollar per year worthy .350 OPS in the playoffs
He's trash, which is why I don't know why the soccer crew constantly references him as an example of a good player. He could've been if he didn't get fat.
He's an insecure red neck who has been bent out of shape ever since Trump got cucked by a female w/ a **** bigger than his micropenis.Clearly you either haven't watched many games or you don't know how to watch them. Actually, probably both tbh
Still really reaching on this point.I agree, they called it FOOT-ball b/c kicking the ball w/ your feet is the central core of the game.
There's nothing you can deflect to in any other major sport that is as re ed as a penalty shootout. You and I both know. Just imagine if the Spurs battled for 3 OT in the NBA Finals and then we go to a
3 point shootout!
I would give up watching basketball on the spot.
lol Soccer fans turning red. Arrggghhhh, hear me roar.
Bumgarner has a higher HR rate than Bryce "best power hitter in beisbol" HarperAnd it's cost him.

It's been a while since DPG violated an OP...Good to seenyour game back tbh.It's an amazing sport.
Soccer is the beautiful game because it's free flowing and a bunch of in-shape athletic guys *gasp* get to display skill and make their own decisions without Rex Ryan yelling at them to run in a pre-determined line because they're idiots
