Soccer Players?

yeah I do, made varsity as a freshman, im a sophomore now, I've played outside mid for my school team for the last two seasons but I play up front for my premier team
 
yeah its kinda hard to play striker on our team when we have one kid on the jr national team and another as gatorade player of the year
 
yeah in our town soccer is hugely competetive and this kid was the only one from our grade that made varisty as a freshamn. The only problem for the future is that he is really short
 
This. Put an average high school soccer player and an average football player on the feild together... Throw each player a a 45 yard pass on the run, and chances are very likely that both people will be able to catch it. Then play each person a soccer ball in the air from 45 yards on the run and ask them to trap it so that it stays within 3 yardof their person, the soccer player will probably be able to do this but theres very little chance that the football player would even keep the ball within 10 yards.

I guess I am just trying to provide some prospective on the point you made. We as humans use our hands for almost everything, and so catching a football with your hands will naturally come easier to people than trap a soccer ball with your feet.
 
Yeah our school is pretty damn competitive too. Division 1 in MA. We havent had a freshman make our varsity team in four years.
 
THIS.

I was the starting Varsity keeper and JV defenseman last year as a sophomore for my 5A school. At the end of this summer, I got a call from my soccer coach saying I should try kicking. I had never kicked a football before, so I met my soccer coach to try it out. I kicked a 55-yarder the first day ever kicking a football, and I was the starting Varsity kicker for my school football team all this year as a junior.

Also, I was offered a spot as a receiver, and I could have easily done it with my keeper skills, but I declined, because I just hate football practices, pads, environment, everything about it.....

Are there any football players who decided to just try out for soccer and made it? HELL no
 
In every professional sport you have to be strong. Soccer players on a professional level lift a shit ton. They are strong as fuck. They might not lift as much as football players because it isn't all about pushing. They have to practice their shooting, footskills, etc. All professional athletes are freaks of nature, they are the most athletic and coordinated people ever. So don't disrespect soccer players based on the build of the few you have met. I know that the soccer team at my school has the best athletes in the school. Soccer players are also more often more well rounded athletes. The slim but strong build is more suited for other sports that don't require brute strength but precise coordination, for example skiing. You don't see many 200 pound extremely built guys skiing do you. My point is that the build of an athlete is dependent on the goal they are trying to accomplish. For lineman it is pushing other people, for wide receivers it is running and catching, for soccer players it is running and shoulder to shoulder pushing. I would say that the build of a soccer player is similar to a running back or wide receiver actually. They may not be as tall as football players but the goal of both athletes is basically the same, outrunning and beating defenders. The only difference is one is carrying the ball in his hands and one is dribbling the ball with his feet. So try to see the similarities between the two sports instead of making disrespectful and ignorant claims. And if you don't think that soccer can be rough peep this.

Good day
 
They don't lift as much as football players because they don't know how to train and their weak bodies don't respond well to having a barbell over them 3x a week.

on this note, i hate it when people say soccer is for pussies. there is a 2 week plus injury probably every game in soccer, and i have been at a game where the JV keeper for my school broke a kid's leg. Like, his bone was sticking out of his shin. I haven't seen that in football, the worst I saw this year was probably bruised ribs or a torn knee ligament.

Top that.
 
Alright, I just went through all 6 pages expecting to see mass amounts of hot soccer chicks, but instead I see large amounts of gay shit. I did get a laugh out of it.
 
well first of all, outrunning 12 guys that want to rip your head off with a ball in your hand, is infact easier than running past 12 guys that want to rip your head off with a ball bouncing inbetween your feet.explain to me how using your feet is easier than using your hands.....
also, soccer is harder because you can't just go tackle someone to get the ball, you have to tackle them from a certain point, at a certain time, and even with a certain force. in football, correct me if i'm wrong, seems as though all you have to do is tackle the guy, basically however you want, and get him down on the ground. and don't forget, once hes on the ground everyone take a little break from the play to reset. when in soccer if someones down and the ball is turned over the play continues..
secondly, a flanker that must catch a ball 45 yds downfield with their hands. compared to a striker, full back, middy, any position really that must catch a ball 45 yds downfield with their feet, chest, head, thigh, and anything but their hands while being covered by multiple opponents...
my point exactly
and as for saying all a striker has to do is KICK the ball in the net, well all a football player has to do is carry the ball, with their HANDS into a 10 yd area. have you ever seen the size difference between a soccer net and the entire enzone?
get learned, you're an idiot

 
First off, you neanderthals obviously haven't realized we have hands for a reason..to use them. Any sport that disqualifies someone for using their hands...is automatically retarded IMHO.

Soccer is not harder, soccer is for the wimpy kids who don't want to get hurt playing football..then they develop a complex where they somehow think they're tough shit. Do I need to remind you that you play fucking SOCCER!? Soccer is not a contact sport, soccer is what kids play before they're initiated into contact sports. It's a fun game to play in 5th grade gym..nothing more. So stop acting like it's God's gift to man.

OMG, you have to stop a ball against your chest!? Then keep it within 9 feet? THAT'S FUCKING DIFFICULT. There's a reason you carry it into an endzone that's 10 yards..because if it was any smaller scores would be 0-0..then we would look like you idiots. Look at sports that are contact but don't allow you to stop once contact has been made..hmm rugby union. Well that's a fucking exciting game, guys area sitting there rucking for 45 minutes and you end up winning by a try. Here's a thought you slack-jawed idiot..there are people watching the game. Sure you might find it fun to jog for 90 minutes and not score a goal, but the people watching get sort of bored with that.
 
how are we neanderthals? the innovation of using your feet instead of hands is apparently stupid? when innovation requires a harder more intense manipulation of a skill already mastered.how are we neanderthals when you're the stupid "neanderthals" that named your sport football?
you said that football is harder because god gave us hands for a reason, so you use them to that potential. god also gave us feet for a reason and we use them to that potential. but we also use them for a whole other potential that takes years of learning. this, and many other reasons that i don't feel like saying because newschoolers is infact not all that matters in my life, are the reasons that make soccer harder than football. this then says that in order to be good at soccer, you must be physically AND mentally more athletic than football.
rugby is a mix between soccer and football, and if you enjoy rugby so much, then why would they mix it between a good sport (in your opinion football) and such a terrible pussy sport like soccer..
who is the neanderthal that named your sport football anyways?
also neanderthals domesticated fire, soooo
 
I respect both sports. Personally, I play soccer, but football is a great sport. I don't see why football players need to criticize soccer players, and visa-versa. Soccer requires great agility, foot-eye coordination, endurance, physical strength, and speed. Football requires strength, speed(only in some cases), and hand-eye coordination. I do not see why there is tension between these two sports. I love watching football, and I enjoy passing around the football. I enjoy soccer more, though.

I'm not here to argue, I'm just stating my opinion on this dumb, on-going, fight between soccer and football players.
 
GUYS ORANGES ARE WAY BETTER THAN APPLES. FIRST OF ALL, ORANGES HAVE A THICKER RIND AND THEY'RE FUCKING ORANGE. APPLES ARE RED, WHY AREN'T THEY CALLED REDS? APPLES ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID IMO, AND FAR INFERIOR TO ORANGES.

: )
 
Yeah it is, we're not fucking apes. Our hands are more developed for a reason..so we can use them numbskull.

We have feet to run, and to kick stupid soccer players in the genitals..that's it. Nothing more. Hahahahahahaha, you must physically more athletic? You seriously think David Beckham is more athletic than Shawne Merriman? Nope, and you know why? HE PLAYS SOCCER
SOCCER=INSANE ATHLETICISMthe British can play soccer..and so can the French. Shows how much skill it takes.
It was originally rugby football, and was then turned into just football. You use your feet in football, you can still kick the ball downfield.

The neanderthals domesticated fire? Tell me, was fire a free-roaming animal before the neanderthals domesticated it? Were there herds of fire running across the great plains of America 80,000 years ago? No you fucking nitwit, because fire is combustion, not an animal or plant.
 
Starting keeper on my varsity team this year as a freshman. Just watching buffon rape the shit out of people pumps me up so much. I play mid (like 10 mins a game rofl) on my premier team. Going mrl next year :)
 
you a re a fucking loser. First of all you dont actually play football but a retarded version with three downs and 12 players. Second I bet your like a third string nobody on special teams who know one likes and third you say that sports where you dont use your hands are for pussies well what about hockey, much tougher than football and guess what, YOU CANT USE YOUR HANDS except for bringing down the puck so shut the fuck up because the fact is your just a fucking loser whos sucks at sports
 
it's not retarded, it's simply a variation.

First off, you're wrong. I didn't say that, being Defensive MVP of the league said that. You use your hands in hockey numbskull, did you forget you're holding a stick?

Also play hockey, it's about the same level of difficulty at the Triple A level as football is. I get more banged up playing football though. Once again, you're a wannabe thug with identity issues from New Hampshire, go to sleep it's past your bedtime. I hear Karmaloop is having a sale on LRG.
 
your calling me a wannabe thug, you live in canada and your trying to bully everyone on this thread that plays soccer. you think your the shit because you play football, not american football, but canadian football which im pretty sure is gayer than soccer in every way. dont come on here and call other people out because your just being a hipocrite. theres some jibberish for sale too you might want to check that out.
 
you have no business in this thread, no one wants you here, you must really have no self-respect if you have to find threads that you can rip on other people just to make yourself feel good congratulations i am very impressed
 
saying that the world cup is stupid because it only involves 32 teams is like saying the superbowl is stupid because it only involves 2 teams.

The world cup that most americans watch, every 4 years, is only the finals. I can say that i've been watching france in the 2010 world cup now for almost 3 years. 204 teams started the competition, and now its been narrowed down to 32 who get to participate in the finals.

the problem is that the people arguing just like to blindly hate on the other sport. There's been pretty good discussion about the 2 actually between some in here.

and anyone saying soccer players are weak should take a look at a player like drogba, or rooney. they may not look giant, but they are in top physical form. Just because you don't appear jacked out of your mind doesn't mean you arent.
 
yesssssss my argument is invalid i completely agree with you, i am a fucking idiot and i should probably go shoot myself in the face, thanks for correcting me bro
 
I'm really torn in this thread. Clearly you're intelligent, but the way you argue against soccer makes you seem like a tool. I'm unsure what to think.
 
I think I saw some similar pictures of football players on another page, though. I'm confused :( I don't know what to believe!
 
holy shit dude, sweet, you have an opinion! that's awesome, doesn't mean you have to bash other people's opinions. they're entitled to one just like you are..
 
just reading this makes me think you're being a successful troll

you can over-simplify ANY sport. for example... what does a football player have to do? catch a ball in a specified area or carry a ball into a specified area. that makes it sound easy, but it an absolutely ridiculous way to put it.

your argument that soccer players aren't athletic makes no sense considering soccer's the world's largest sport. whether you want to believe it or not, (american) football isn't a huge sport around the world.

soccer has way more participants so the pros are selected from a much larger talent pool than in football. you seriously still think it's "easy"?
 
Wanna hear something else fucking nuts?
Everyone on earth breathes. It doesn't mean it's difficult. So what if soccer is fucking popular, doesn't detract from it's shittyness.
 
god just shut the fuck up and get out. Youre acting like some middle school twat who hates on shit to be cool and then when asked why can only respond "cause its gay." Go make a football thread where you and all of your other super awesome we're so much cooler than faggot soccer players friends can hang out.
 
Its funny how some people are saying football players get more pussy.... Take those football players to any other place in the world and any girl is gonna fuck the shit out of someone in the world cup over them. Soccer takes a full understanding of your whole body, your team, and the thinking is on the go unlike football. you need to be fully in shape and very very skilled to do it at a high level.

Football sucks, how retarded do you have to be to take a break every 20 seconds.
