Re:: Why americans dont like football!!!

i"m not a big soccer fan myself either
and its not because of the fans
its because soccer has to many strict rules that make the game to be borring and not so spectaculo like american football or hockey

Too many strict rules? All you have to do is get the ball in the net. There's no yard lines, downs, end zones - surely American Football is more complicated? Great game but soccer is the beautiful game.

Strict rules?

try playing rugby... there are 42 possible infractions on a line-out

American football is the most boring game i've ever seen, they stop every second metre, rugby much better

That's because you don't understand it.

Australian football........now there's a game. Ausie rules used to be on
fox sports every saturday, but i never see it on anymore. I mean how
can you not like the game, the field is the same shape as the ball and
its like a mix between, soccer, rugby, american football.

Too many rules! You`re kidding right. Like Mixu said, you`ve got to get the ball in the net, simple. No stop start stop start stop..... Just 90 mins of 11 against 11 and not 4 hours of a fancy dress carnival :wink:

Oh yeh, and ice hockey, that game where you see a few men skating around chasing a tiny black puk/puck (whatever you call it) which you cant`see. I do like the fighting tho, quite entertaining.

Re:: Why americans dont like football!!!

Well its the first sport of every single country in the world apart from the US, so it can't be all bad!

And whoever slated the Greece game, how can you do that? Was a classic battle between the favourites and the under dogs, flair versus determination and team work.

Aussie Rules is a great game, im just back from a year in OZ and the do love there sport down under

It was boring, but because Greece had a great defence and their midfield were stopping everything.
At least in Football there are 11 players for 90min with only a 15min break in the middle. How many different players are there on an American football field and for a drawn out 48min?

Football is the universal language
