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.
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 :)
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.
