baseball has got to be the most boring sport ever.I can't understand how in the US baseball is more popular than the NBA.
American football is cool I like it, but baseball...Basketball is the only major sport in the US that doesn't suck big time.
US Football? Yeah, well this is a really poor version of Rugby... for dumbasses
Baseball?This is not even a sport
Hockey? Well... Is it still a Major sport?... I mean WTF is that? it's just a bunch of 40 year old fatties just standing there trying to hit a ball with a bat (thing that they acomplish at a less than 30% rate), the only semi-exciting thing you can see is a good defensive play, which happens once every three or four games. And speaking of games, they shouldn't be 3 hours long when the actual playing time is less than ten minutes. I can't understand how in the US baseball is more popular than the NBA.

(American) Football == good
Rugby == good
Australian Rules Football == good
Soccer == gay
Baseball = Fat People's Sport
Football= Why are you using so much protections? gay...
Aussie Footbal= A man's man sport
Rugby= a man's Sport
Hockey= a man's sport
Basketball= greatest athletes on earth sport
Soccer= all aerobic and techinique 0 IQ sport
Football uses so much protection because the players have turned into monstrosities. If they weren't so big, less pads would be needed, and they could go back to there leather helmets.
Well, if they were in a fight, Leonard Davis would lose, since we are going with more than one rugby drunk. If we were talking about their respective sport though, Davis would obviously dominate at football with or without pads, and would get dominated at rugby, at least until he caught up to a scrum, then he would pretty much be great. Then everyone would run off and leave him in the dust again while all the fans made fun of him.
Zidane, Francescoli, Bochini, Platini, Del Piero...just to name a few.
Epic Fail... as an average maybe just 15% of soccer players have finished high school... the rest of them... all bad neighborhood parents salvation hopes that ruin the life of those who never make it to become true pro's... the ones that do... well... you know Maradona?

Epic fail X 2 ….. since when school has something to do with IQ …. I know a guy named bill gates that didn’t finished school and you can’t say he doesn’t have a high IQ…. But we are talking about sports and IQ as the ability to think and wisely play the sport…. Futbol requires a lot of fraction of a second decision making situations…. pussified rugby (“american “”””””football””””””) is a coaches game… with a punch of pussies massively protected just following instructions and blackboard plays… that ….. that moronic copy of rugby is only popular in the US and part of Mexico.
Merriman would be able to play I think, a lot of the HB's and FB's, along with some of the bulkier possession receivers would probably be good at rugby. Quick, powerful guys, with lots of stamina are the way to go.
Just two different sports though. I don't really think there is a huge amount of difference in toughness, although there seem to be more prima donnas in football. But both sports have guys perfectly willing to play with concussions, broken noses, and various other broken bones.
Gigantic Proportions Fail...

Astronomical FAIL….. first of ....your link doesn’t work..
“American football resulted from several major divergences from rugby, most notably the rule changes ins uted by Walter Camp, considered the "Father of American Football". “
Doesn't this argument belong here?

Sorry.. i fixed the link... try again...
Well even if they are faster at the 40 yds dash most American football players would still have a hard time playing top level rugby because of endurance. In football, you have a play which last 10 seconds at best, and then you stop. While rugby is not as fluid as soccer or basketball, there is much more movement, and that would catch up with the American football player's body.
I have been around players from both sports and the differences are clear to me. There is much more specialization in football, you are either a power player of a skill player and therefore either really big, or really athletic. In rugby the differences are not so stark. Everyone has similiar muscular developments, and everyone has to be able to run around the field.
Soccer though is still king. I laugh at them who think it's a no contact sport, your knees and ankles take a pounding like nowhere else. Yet it's still graceful and highly technical. Most people can get in a football or rugby game and be decent enough if they are good athletes. In soccer, forget about it. It takes years to perfect the skill of shooting, passing, dribbling, keeping possesion, or simply developing the neccessary intelligence to play the game. There is a reason why it's undoubted king of sports in all the world.
So… since you guys are sucking at futbol lately wanna give a shot at pussified rugby???
I get your point but it doesn’t say much….. pussified rugby will never be what Futbol is in Uruguay and you know that….. pussified rugby is an “North American money machine” take those commercials out of the superbowl and that is worth nothing… boring as .
haaaa and take a look...maybe half of the world is wrong and only North Americans are right …. As they think.

I agree with your first two paragraphs...
Your last one though... I disagree with it. Like all sports, I think anyone with above average coordination and athleticism can come in and play soccer. I just don't like the sport, its boring, too much flopping, too much annoying announcers, too much crazy fans rioting, and too much jogging back and forth while only 3 guys on the field are actually doing anything. And English soccer isn't as bad as the rest, cause it generally seems like they enjoy the contact and don't flop as much...
Wow…. Great… what about winning a championship??… any??? A fluke game or series isn’t a big deal.
Don’t take it bad… I love Uruguay and your Country’s futbol…
Without any doubt the toughest collective sport is rugby. In soccer you can be a great player even without a good physical condition see R. Milla / Maradona / Ronaldo / Romario etc... in rugby forget about it: to be efficient you need to be 100%, it's first endurance, toughness, willing to go to the fight, if you are not ready you don't exist in this game.
I respect american football but there is a ing break every 2 minutes, it's really boring, in rugby or soccer you have 40 or 45 min of action non stop, this is one of the major difference between american sports and european, IMO in the US it's first business second sport, in Europe i believe that fortunately it's first sport.
Uro at least you can say 2 les gots !! Only Brasil (5), Germany (3) and Italy (4) can talk about Uruguay
