no need, the average running back is running 11-15mph on a given play. the box [o-line+d-line], which collapses on the tailback during a tackle, weighs a TON. the linemen are all capable of benching well over 300lbs. in addition, the sweeper isn't going down to the other net. the striker doesn't play defense. either way, no one except the goalkeeper is playing minutes extending 8min stints. the ironman on a soccer field is the midfielder. a gridiron running back is a superior athlete

i don't need to know the stats of the soccer players because i have a working knowledge of the enumerated measures of the nfl players. you can ask any statistician or kinesiologist, trainer or sports scientist. they'll tell you the same thing: nfl skill players, on average, are faster in a sprint & can lift more. it's the nature of their game. this doesn't detract from soccer; it's just a different set of specialized skills. why aren't you getting that? are you really this stupid?
1
dude, those aren't flat out sprints. you can't even give me something official. pathetic
1
soccer is for floppers who can't run fast enough, aren't big enough, have no skill enough or aren't man enough to play gridiron football. i have respect for rugby because they get busy. but spare me the eurotrash indignance about a clearly superior game with clearly superior athletes. face it, the best athletes play here & they play american sports.
1
any european league would enumerate things in metric units. you're already engaging in a natural fallacy. also, i doubt that they actually measure that. show me where it says that.
1
a center has to accurately deliver the ball & block 320lb men slapping at his ears in a split second. a flanker is catching a ball being thrown at speeds comparable to a baseball being thrown at 70-90mph. yes, a goalie has to survive the onslaught of 10 different kickers but it's a different skill set. it's all a matter of different skill sets. also, there are more world class sprinters in gridiron football than in soccer
1
in fact let's do this. name the athletic category (you tried to name some but writing ain't your strength) & i'll name the athlete. we can make some simple lists & compare who is quantitatively superior. you've already declared the size advantage for my guys so we don't have to list that 1. either way, i'll still win the argument. your move
1
between your self-professed air of entitlement or your self-assumed (but definitely not realized) sense of superiority, you still lose mate. an intellectual would engage some kind of data instead this anecdotal nonsense. i gave examples, i addressed both sides of the issue. all you've done is congratulate yourself for writing a complete sentence. that puts you on some esoteric "level"? you're a typical, youtube buffoon. i said good day sir
1
"Thats false the parties were never inverted as far as policies go. " you need to study some history mate
1
funny, you try to snipe at someone for their skin color but your channel celebrates a black medium of expression: hiphop. you're such an idiot it's not funny. you remind me of the punchline for every joke about polish people ever written; except let's substitute WKaliber1 in the leadlines. imbecile
1
idiot, husain bolt, the world's fastest man runs around 21mph. you're telling me that a soccer player, who's dribbling a ball, is running 2mph faster than an olympic sprinter? moron. i could see if a soccer player entered the annual competition for that particular title or was a sprinter. but they don't you lose that 1 buddy. rotfl
1
reggie bush runs 40yds in 4.33 seconds. that equates to approx 19mph. he's not even the fastest. the fastest is 19.86mph. there's no footballer coming CLOSE to that. do we need to talk about feats of strength? vertical leap? how fast the qbs throw? actually 30-45mph is a mean. consider the fact that qbs often get drafted in baseball. a major league pitcher is hurling a baseball at 80-100mph. need i say more?
1
my friend, you're not even in the same dimension as me let alone near my level. either way, i'm waiting for you to render some real DATA. you named 1 soccer player with ability. i named 3 americans that play the same game. you haven't even tried to meet me on a common ground. you can call me all the names you like. but you still haven't satisfied any of the very parameters that YOU have set. in webspeak: you're self-pwned. good day sir
1
just bulk? how far, how fast & with how much acumen can you throw an oval shaped ball? how fast can you cover 40yds? how many 300lb men can you lift? how high can you jump? how many missile passes can you catch, protect then run for extra yards? riddle me that mate
1
internationally respected my ass. they're acknowledged in the western european rugby/soccer community. nowhere else. either way, it was a marketing campaign not a competitive event or evaluation session. you can't be serious. you actually pulled that out of your ass. i'm literally smh. you lose bro
1
it is a multi-billion dollar institution. but either way, you won't win with that as a quantitative measure either. i mentioned the monetary aspect because that's applicable as far as "seriousness" goes.
1
... don't get me wrong, i understand the amount of athleticism & the degree of endurance it requires to be a professional soccer player. but the fastest soccer player can't catch the fastest football player (not that it matters because you have to dribble the ball in soccer). BUT, a gridiron running back has to block 250lb linebackers running 13mph, they have to pick defensive ends & tackles with comparable speed & massive strength upper body strength.
1
listen, i know you're a racist. i know that intellectual discourse isn't your strength. but please don't accuse me of something i didn't do. let's use another analogy. some might say that TKD, karate or kickboxing prepare a fighter to be more well rounded. BUT, no one alive wants to be on the receiving end of a right cross from mike tyson in '88; no one. not even professional boxers. that being said, a soccer player in gear could barely catch a tackle or tight end in a foot race let alone a HB
1
so how do you say brassiere in german?
1
frustrated? nah, just observant of your lack of depth. as far as "exposing" a multi-billion dollar institution as "fraud", good luck with all that. also, "rugby ripoff" claim is nonsense. i play rugby myself & have a good time. but most rugby players respect gridiron football because they understand what it means to run, catch, tackle & throw. you evidently do not. it's your ignorance that's initially laughable. then after seeing how your racism compounds it, your ignorance is sad. godspeed
1
you didn't give a fact. 1st of all, the "stats" are recorded in a flat out race. they were weighted numbers & the time periods exceeded 30 seconds. i'll consider them as anecdotal evidence but definitely not real quantitative data. i asked you who's the fastest in a sprint not who's the fastest after factoring the ball & the person against whom you're competing. it's not the same thing. i haven't 'lost' anything. you can't render any conclusive data. jeez are you educated or not?
1
making excuses after losing the argument? clutching at straws? you evidently aren't processing the evidence i presented. if you did, you'd have seen that i made a comparisons, used analogies & presented factual evidence. perhaps you don't understand the dynamics of the game, that's fine. but american football players are superior athletes. you have a stylistic preference but otherwise, you're just being dumb if you think soccer is somehow more requisite of athletic prowess
1
bottom line, it's an issue of personal preference & application of certain skill sets. it's actually apples & oranges BUT, gridiron football is a larger, juicer, heartier fruit. sure, i couldn't imagine covering freddie adu on a soccer field (i'd stay with him but he'd get off a kick at will). but wearing pads & running a post play, adu would be helpless. believe that. think of another analogy, imagine the game in soccer if someone with NFL, CFL, or even NCAAF size & ability played soccer? c'mon
1
no. i compared athletic ability among professional athletes. american football players have more. you can say whatever you want but you haven't offered ANY data. point. set. match. later for you loWKaliber0
1
you haven't provided me with any evidence. you said that kicks in soccer move with less velocity than passes in football. the way i see it, that's 1 for gridiron & zero for soccer by your own admission. since you already declared a size advantage for my side, that makes it 2-0. we actually measure our guys using scientific method. you just drop some names. 3-0. do we really need to continue?
1
let me help you because thinking isn't something you do very well. google "nfl combine". look at the reports over the last, let's say, 5yrs. then show me where any of the aforementioned footballers you cited can match up. that's a simple, quantifiable set of of measures. that's fair, balances & objective. i'm also going to win. your move
1
change the rules? how do you figure? i simply said that you can't use that as a measuring tool unless you factor in ALL the components. what i said was to compare the price tag of the ENTIRE league. that's fair, balanced & objective. you're cherry picking. stop that
1
again, you're sidestepping my point in order to access yours. i issued a challenge: let's measure it. who runs faster, who lifts more, who jumps the highest, who sustains more physical contact. for that matter, you brought up money; i said "whose league has more liquid value?". talent? that's a touch & go concept but okay. measure 'ability' in common terms. football players will still win. in the NFL, those TALENTS are measured before they get drafted. your move
1
as far as how much the "average NFL player runs" is problematic. are we talking arithmetic or geometric means, modes or medians. also, you need to consider the fact that certain players block (which entails powerlifting & punching), certain players run short routes & sustain hits (imagine a simple, f=ma vector equation), certain players have to matriculate & outthink the other 11 players while throwing the ball across large fractions of an acre (timing, strength, coordination & intellect)...
1
dude, it's not a sprint. it's weighted stati asked you who runs faster in a sprint not who runs faster according to some mathematical application. you went to a marketing campaign & called that a statistical analysis? try again
1
if he changed his name to chuck norris, he'd go down in history as the smartest man to ever live
1
no. i said name a player & list their measured abilities; like they do in the NFL combine. they measure times in a mile run, 40yd dash, lateral tests, times in plyometric drills, vertical jumps, bench press ability, clean + press abilities, deadlift abilities & bicep curls. NFL players will beat soccer players any day of the week & twice on sunday. soccer's BEST couldn't with the nfl's 2nd string. checkmate
1
maybe so. maybe not. you said something about the aggregate value of 2 teams. i said to quantify the value of the 2 leagues. so you changed the parameters from liquidation (a concrete reality) value to potential marketability (an abstract potentiality). it appears that it's you that just tried to change the rules. given the fact that we were talking about the ability of the athletes & not how much the owners get paid
1
of course. nice sandbag. you lost. a football is thrown at around 30-45mph btw. good day sir
1
congratulations. englis is actually my 2nd language. let me rephrase that: you're obviously. not an intellectual. quality or quantity of one variable or another is only important in practical application. also, soccer isn't played universally because it's implicitly better. soccer is "universally" because it's primarily a western european game & western european culture has permeated the world. talent isn't really an issue considering the fact that adu, balboa & the great pele are americans.
1
dude, the teams have nothing to do with the contracts of individual PLAYERS. they were all on nike deals when they participated. your data is inconclusive. try again
1
dude, those aren't stats from a flat out sprints 1st of all. 2nd of all, that's not official in a real competition. that's an exhibition to sell soccer tickets. you lose
1
my aim wasn't to convince you of anything. my aim was to educate you. you evidently didn't know any better. as far as debate goes (since you think this is a debate), i gave ample support & cut you at the pass more than once. debate is about supporting a premise with rhetoric & evidence. but no one is keeping score here. i'm just letting you know what the truth is. enjoy soccer; have a jingoistic devotion to soccer. you're allowed. but the better athletes are in football. i proved that
1
dude, the tallest soccer player of any note wasn't any bigger than about 6'3". the fastest runner isn't breaking 4.8 in a 40yd dash. spare me that lie. i've already illustrated the caveat with your analysis about endurance. i've already illustrated the difference in specialized players too. nevertheless, the depiction of players being merely big but lacking skill means that you don't really understand (rather you don't want to understand) the nuances. we're done here
1
what you're not getting is this: on a given play, a running back is running, in upwards of, 15mph. wide receivers top 20mph. this is all done 30lbs of armor. yes, a soccer player is dribbling a ball & being chased by other men. BUT the damage a sweeper can do is marginal compared to what an nfl safety can do. would you prefer your chances of being hit by carlos valerama or by darrell green (padless)? the answer is the former.
1
where can you confirm that. i showed you where that i found my data. also, you're confusing kilometers with miles. easy mistake, you're not american. you're forgiven. but show me some real data & the source before you declare that you're correct
1
you said that football was all about size. also, complaining about word selection isn't going to obscure my point. the superior athletes play FOOTBALL not kickball
1
but you can't tell me the opposite. you can't qualify it so i suggested quantifying it. you elected not to discuss it in those terms. it's not a standstill because you don't really have any legs upon which to stand. like i said, it's not about win or lose. this is an issue of the superior athlete. you know can't so you used avoidance altogether. nice trick; losing but trying to declare a tie. i'll accept your concession. good day sir
1
peep this: nfl (.) c o m / combine / top-performers if that's not sufficient quantitative data let me know. there's plenty more is you'd like to see it. i digress. lookit, i never said that soccer wasn't a hard game. i never said those guys aren't fine athletes. what i said is that soccer players are not the physical equals of gridiron players. the nature of the game is completely different there are many other factors at work. sorry. you lost mate. better luck next time
1
pele was IS american; SOUTH AMERICAN. freddie adu is world class. you can call me any pseudo-intellectual you like. you're still not an intellectual; pseudo- or otherwise. ronaldo is downright brilliant. he's an all time great & the best passer i've ever seen. but he couldn't hold a candle to a reserve HB in the NFL, let alone all-pro or HoFer in ANY area (except perhaps endurance & i guarantee NFLers run a faster mile). & even then, winger's are specialists who don't run the whole field
1
no, you'd say "schtoppenfloppen"
1
...so your notion of "average football player" makes very little sense. that's tantamount to asking me about a bowler's ability as a batsman in a game of cricket. that's like trying to race me in a 1/4 mile on my motorcycle & driving a car. do you understand now?
1
fyi. many gridiron halfbacks (wide receivers) enter the race for the world's fastest man. i can't remember ANY footballers entering in that competition. nevertheless, if you expect me to believe a footballer is running 23mph in a sprint; let alone while being slide tackled by midfielders; let alone trying to take the ball along for the trip, you're stupid. like i said, gridiron football players are measured; down to how fast they blink. soccer ain't touching that my friend
1
i was hoping someone else was as juvenile as me. thanks for reminding me that i'm not alone. peace
1
PS, freddie adu became a citizen when he was 8yrs old. he grew up in maryland. that makes him AMERICAN. please, do some research. i did mine & i actually enjoy soccer when i can see it. i prefer latin leagues because that's my first language & i love hearing the announcers get excited. yes, the quality of the game isn't as crisp as the uefa or some other euro clubs but their game is faster than euro clubs. as an observer of sports & as an athlete, i can tell you soccer has ZERO on gridiron
