Don't get me started on the joys of rugby...less than 5 weeks till the Super 12 season kicks off...trial games start next Saturday. Sign on for my boys is next weekend too.
Grimm, I played my share of football, and basketball. Baseball was a sport that I was not able to play beyon 14... Once kids started throwing curve balls, I was lost.
I did play organized soccer for intramurals in college. I was friends with a bunch of guys on my floor in the dorm - they were very good - I was more of a body to spell people, or when others could not make it due to class. It was fun, especialy since the guys on my team were like you soccer fags.... so we actually got to the championship team.
Ironicly, the best player on our team was a girl. We had toget special permission to have her on the team - of course all the other teams said no problem, because they thought she was just a girl.
Turns out that she was olympic team and had blew our her knee, she was rehabbing at school. So she was awesome.... and the main reason we did so well.
But lets face it.... Soccer is NOT as violent as football, anyone who questions this shoudl watch the games today.

Ok - now I understand... her male team mates and opponents must have sucked - just the pure physical difference between females and males is a huge difference in the way you play the game - atleast it is in the rest of world. This must be the reason behind you thinking soccer is a "tame" game ;-)))
No doubt that rugby is more violent than football, and no doubt that football has more physical contact than soccer.... but soccer is the only one of the games, where you need ball mastery with your entire body - including your head. Soccer requires alot more skill than the others.
From a spectator point of view, then Football is like short sex (quikies) for a few minutes, and then relex have a drink etc., while Soccer is more like 90 mins of kama sutra, where there are few, but major orgasms

Greatest Soccer player of all time??? Been an Arsenal fan since a small lad but I'll show no Bias - yeah many will say Zinedine Zidane (not sure how many of our US colleagues will though) but Pele does it for me - something like 1200 goals out of 1600 apperances. 70 yard goal in back in the 70's was stunning. He could do it all. He coined the phrase 'The Beautiful Game'
What about US superstars?.I once saw Michael Jordan dunk a ball in full air flight and then pull it back out of the net with his other hand to complete the dunk with the same hand - all within the space of a second. Damn damn slick.....but hey the Olympic 'Dream Team' was just unfair.

no not nearly as violent. never was my argument. my argument =is conditioning. Those guys out there holding their hips and sucking wind in the second half are in nowhere near the condition of a soccer player.

It was intramural soccer at Southern Mississippi.... so I doubt competition was that fierce. South is still home to football.
Peaches, football players do not wear many pads on their arms. You keep tryin to make a point, but just continue to show your ignorance about football.
Hope you did not embarass your son too much....

---i beg to differ... the midwest is. cradle of coaches and all.. Lombardi, Paul Brown, Parsagean, joepa, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembeckler, lou holtz.. too many good coaches came from the Miami Valley... all the way up to the latest hotshots.. Jim Tressel, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer.. all started in the Miami Valley (thats right, MAC land
The single most infuential area in the history of football as a game
that and they play real football no matter what the elements

Best soccer player in history have to Diego Maradona... maybe there will be one of his kind every 150-200 years, because I have not seen anyone reach his skills.
Pele might have been the king of soccer, but Diego was God!
