Manly Sports

I was viewing a video of England's goalkeeper Green making his mistake in the match between US and England. Since i don't like England and Brazil and loss or draw will make me happy. Anyway, it was a silly mistake made by the keeper but i did feel sorry for him.

What got me interested are the comments people made for the video, mainly from the Americans and the English people. I know these two have some kind of rivalry between each other so it will always be about who's better. One of the issue is that SOME AMERICANS think soccer or football is lame compare to their every popular "American Football".

Some say soccer/football isn't as macho/manly as American football. My opinion from the perspective of a WOMAN - in the end who gets to determine what's manly or not, woman right?:

1. Soccer/football shouldn't be equated with American football because there are so different from each other. In American football, you need stronger upper body because you tackle with your hand. As for soccer, no hands are allowed unless you are the goalkeeper and the tackle is done via FEET. Some soccer haters say that soccer depends on a lot of luck and the players are a bunch of drama queens. What sports don't depend on luck? Every sports does. As for being drama queens, yes that's true and they need to practice being drama queens to sharpen their acting skills once they quit football :-)... Soccer/Football is more to skills and stamina while American football you definitely need good strength to handle tackles. Basically it's like this, American football screams tackle while soccer doesn't.

3. The REAL sport that should be compared to American football is RUGBY. These two sports are almost the same, they scream TACKLE! Some of the differences? rugby don't use protection like helmets or body pads while football does.

So really, if anybody want to know what sports amount to the ultimate manliness, it's RUGBY.



FOOTBALL. Sure football seems less rough bout they still produce good looking and guys with hot bods... Besides, it's fun watching football because of the strategy/skills. It's an interesting sports.
