Approximately a half second difference for having almost twice the weight differential. So I wouldn't say the man playing defensive tackle is getting payed to simply "be fat".
The difference is Cristiano Ronaldo can keep that pace up much longer than albert haynesworth can.
They're different sports pal. Soccer players focus more on the cardio standpoint, while as football players do more with strength. You get a striker trying to tackle a running back in a given drive, the running back goes right through him. You put a running back in on defense in a soccer match, he tires out instantly and allows the striker to go right by him and score. Get it?
Thats fairly obvious.
Oh yeah; passing, kicking and dribbling a soccer ball takes a lot of mastery hurrrdurrr. (biased opinion right here)
You have no idea. People who can pass, shoot and dribble 'well' are in the 30-100 million pound range.
Also, how does this prove your claim at all in the first place? Doesn't make the sport anymore superior either way.
Two hand touch doesn't even theoretically prove your point one bit, since it completely omits any contact which is what the athletes in football are trained for. Also, I'm sure football players could marginally compete with a soccer team, due to the general nature of athletics.
The handegg players would be kicking the ball out of bounds every time they touched it. The accuracy that most professional football players have is ungodly.
This thread is not meant to argue which sport is better. This is a thread made to discuss which Football(motherfucking soccer) team we like. Please stop posting here, I don't invade threads about the NFL going "DURRHURR, YOUR SPORT IS FOR FAGGOTS".
