These guys any good?

[Original Sin]

Juggling has nothing to do with actual game skill. Fancy foot work that they do tells me they spend way to much time with a soccer ball.

Besides, if any of them tried to pull off some of that foot work against me in a game, they'd would end up face first on the pitch in tears from my slide tackle. Yelloe card or not, I would show them how good my foot work is and what I think of theirs.

[gruesomeBODY]

i mean jugglings fun to watch but hitting somebody is much more entertaining. I sorta like when a kid thinks hes all that and ends up eating dirt the entire game. And they are all the same, running to daddy asking if he can have the other team stop picking on him.

[HandOfHeaven]

Although it be amazing all of their ball control and quick/fancy juggling moves, those are very impractical in a game. Unless they can do that running full speed toward a defender with one on their shoulder, it's very impractical. I really wanna perfect doing a rainbow (lift ball up behind you and over your head while you are facing forward) full speed over someone's head, but it would take so much work. I wanna post a cool nike soccer commercial, but I have no idea where to upload it to. It's a 3 v 3 tourney inside a ship with tiny goals for those of you who have seen it.

Nothing I like more than sweaty jocks showering together after a game of soccer!

[Hades-Knight]

I mastered the bicycle thing where you lift the ball behind you and it goes over your head.....It always makes people go like "WOOWOWOWOW" when you get past a defender by doing that......very hard to do when you got some1 on you tho

Being able to do tricks with the football isn't too shabby, yet in a proper game it's not the fancy tricks that will score you the goals.

Granted, if you've got the fancy footwork and the skill of someone like Christiano Ronaldo, then you're made. He can get away with amazing tricks in a football match as they can help him beat the defenders and get the ball in the back of the net. But his style is more European.

I've just watched the clip. They're not bad, but they'd never be able to pull off things like that in a proper game. A few of the dummies may get them past the slower defenders, but when they come up against someone who knows what they are doing, and they're sunk.

8 or 9 times out of 10 I would be able to challenge someone trying that and win possession, taking them out in the process.

If you want to see skills like that in a real football game, then download a few clips of Christiano Ronaldo and watch them.

Whilst you're at it, download some clips of amazing goals. Those'll really impress you.

My vote is that we shouldn't discuss soccer anymore because it is an un-American, and therefore wrong sport.

[Lenny]

It's one of the main sports in the rest of the world.

And I think we can safely say that the rest of the world knows better than one collection of states in this case.

And anyway, what type of collection of states takes a perfectly good game, makes it much safer and calls it American Football?

1. Originally it was called Rugby and is a great English sport.
2. RUGBY! Where does football come into the name RUGBY?!

Heh heh heh...found a great quote not too long ago. A Bush one of course. In it he talks about "Rugball" and "Footby".

ROFL!

[Mantralord]

Yes, while the United States gives people choices, the rest of the world just goes with one sport. There go your freedoms. Hahahahahahahaha.

[Lenny]

Not just the one sport.

Football, Cricket, Tennis, Rugby.

4 major ones off the top of my head.

[Mantralord]

What kind of depraved nation goes about hunting poor defenseless crickets for sport? I think we should dump you in a cage and have people hunt you.

O-K...crazy person.

Stop acting like a douchebag Mantralord, if just for one fucking day.

WHat is the ball for rugby called... A FOOTBALL!!!.. 99% of dumb people here(which is most of the population) still call RUGBY football..

[Lenny]

What?!

How dare they call a Rugby ball a football! Then's just stupid! It's a god damn RUGBY BALL!

And why call Rugby Football when Football is Football and Rugby is Rugby?

Comiserations about the Cricket. You guys really looked like you had it won for most of the last test. You played damn good. The best team lost.

[HandOfHeaven]

A ball for rugby is like a watermelon, correct?

Those are good balls. You can't go wrong with Gilbert balls.

Rugby: a game of two halfs played by men with weird shaped balls.

It's a great game. And can be pretty violent. The only protection people wear is a mouthguard...and the person who holds up the scrum wears a leather helmet.
