My response to Fox Sports article on why Football is better than Soccer

Out of the 30 or so ideas, only one of two of them are decent...here are my responses...

Why Futbol is better than Football.

● Champion of the World…not just the United States of America and Canada, while attempting to exploit Mexico and Japan.

● Overtime give both teams an equal chance.

● Having the World Cup every four years makes the championship more prestigious.

● A third place match is just another way to make more money and watch a great game. It’s a surprise that we haven’t thought of this yet.

● It’s great to see Americans get pissed because France can beat them in a sport.

● Futbol pitches don’t have cheerleaders…this allows for more room for seats, so the fans can get much closer to the field.

● Futbol does not have scantily clad women who are paid to cheer…this is true…but what they do have is painted on bikini wearing fans that do it for the love of the game.

● Magic Spray is better than going back to the locker room to get an injection of pain killers so a player can finish the game.

● Football is played for 5 seconds…rest for 40 seconds…play for 5 seconds…rest for another 40. Must be exhausting.

● Players don’t need a helmet to head butt someone.

● Players play offense and defense…very few American football players can do that.

● Quarterbacks slide so not to get hit…futbol players slide to knock someone on their ass.

● Leave it to Football to make fun of the kicker…who quite frankly, is usually underpaid for someone who kicks the ball for the winning points in close games.

● Not allowing unlimited substitutions shows us what an athlete is made of. Futbol players don’t take breaks after every tough play.

● At least in Futbol…when someone is offside, the play is in action. How smart can a player be if they line up offside from the beginning?

● Leave it to America (and maybe Japan’s Sumo wrestling) where overweight players is something to be proud of.

● Futbol has more blood…Ask the American captain.

● In Futbol, the plays are changed on the fly. You don’t set up and try to figure it out before the play starts.

● Instead of trying to get better, America just says that if we lose to Ghana, we should quit. Great attitude.

● No commericial breaks. 45 straight minutes of action per half.

● Futbol fans are better at math. While Football fans have their time counted down, Futbol fans can figure out how much time is left on their own.

● One referee cannot perfectly keep track of 22 players on the field. If the ref didn’t see it, it didn’t happen. In the NFL, you have at least five referees for 22 players and they still can’t get it right. They have to use a replay because they can’t do it on their own.
