I believe everyone is entitled to an opinion, so if he dislikes football, there's not much you can do....
USA was women football champions on those years, weren't they?
but there sure are stupid things... like the hall of fame letters....
"The fastest soccer player in the Premier League of ANY country would
get toasted by the fastest man in the NFL."
Proof? Rommedahl?
"Soccer players cry when they trip over
another player."
Old Firm Derby?
"Soccer is stop and go"
American Footie is not?
" Because of it's design and weight, a soccer ball traveling (and let's use that ABSURD 98mph referance) at 98mph wouldn't have the ability to do much more than SEVERELY STING if it makes contact with someone's head. A basketball travelling at that same rate would cause a severe concussion under the same circumstances."
Now I take this person would be the first to form the wall against Roberto Carlos? and what are the chances a basketball would get to 98mph in a regular match?
" I'd rather have Roberto Carlos fire a penalty kick at my head than have Randy Johnson fire a fastball at my head ANY DAY!!!"
What are the chances Randy Johnson (never heard of him, I don't follow Baseball) will aim for your head? Roberto Carlos?
"All pro sports have groupies....female fans etc. The ones linked to soccer just happen to be ugly. Example? Chris Webber of the NBA dates Tyra banks, Sergei Federov of the NHL was once married to Anna Kournikova, Derek Jeter of MLB once dated Mariah Carey.........David Beckham? He married one of the freakin' Spice Girls."
Of course people can write anything... but there are other examples... Jardel? is it just me or do I sense some bias here?
" I have 2 words for all of you: Diego Marradona"
2 words, and he happened to misspell one of them.....
"To all of you IDIOTS who talk about the commercial aspect of american football, you must be too damn drunk and high to have noticed the sideline banners and the players jersey's during a premiership game."
Do they stop the play to do that? thought so...
"A soccer goal is 8 feet tall and eight yards wide. Now, somebody explain to me how a Pro basketball player can shoot a basketball from up to 25 feet out through an 18 inch-wide hole, yet the best of soccer players have trouble consistantly kicking a ball into a 192 square foot net? 192 SQUARE FEET!!!!!!! Who's un-coordinated?????"
Heskey is, but putting that aside, I guess it has to do with the fact that you have to use your feet to score in football? and there's some person there whose only job is to stop it?
I guess football is missing a real star here if he can score from 25 yards like 20 times in around 50 seconds
"When you soccer lovers can find me a soccer player faster than Terrell Owens, stronger than Ray Lewis, bigger than Michael Strahan, with more coordination than Marshall Faulk and more heart than Brett Favre, then you can compare the sport and the athletes to the NFL"
Now if you can find me any american footballer who can control the ball with his feet better than Emile Heskey... uh... I mean.... Zinedine Zidane, then I'd be more into it... the point I'm trying to make here is there's no advantage in being big and strong in football as it's not as physical as American football....
Now to clear things up, I don't dislike any of the sports mentioned, I just countered some arguments here... sorry for the long post..
