Can you imagine the drama if a soccer player got knocked down by a football player? I sure can't.

Man, that Mexican player writhing around on the ground after getting his foot stepped on is quite the athlete. You have to be in top physical condition to pull of an act like that!

There isn't a soccer player on the face of the earth that can do the things this man can. He is faster, stronger, incorporates upper AND lower boy finesse, more explosive, and hands down more skill.

The best athletes are moms. It takes an amazing amount of skill and athleticism to have sex, carry a small child for nine months and then push it out of your vagina.

but the real athleticism is displayed by each mom fending off NA's advances

I really screwed that up. I meant to link that thread from the other day where all the GB moms were having a pissing contest. Now I can't find it.

NA is just saying that because his wife is knocked up and he doesn't want to get his ass kicked.

How much money does your average soccer player make vs. your average NFL, NBA, or MLB player?

I don't know and I'm too f'n lazy to research it, so I'm just going to say not as much and that's all you need to know about that.

you also have to keep in mind nba rosters are much smaller than the other 3 sports, thats why the average is more inflated

I'm really tempted to do a "Soccer moms are the best lays in the world" derivative or something similar.

Without looking it up, I'd say salaries for the English Premier League, German, Spanish, and Italian leagues are comparable w/ NFL, NBA, and MLB.

I've played soccer for 25 years. The most elite athletes in the U.S. do not play soccer. In general, however, to play professional soccer requires more athleticism than to play professional baseball. Baseball takes a great amount of SKILL, but not athleticism. Plenty of guys play in the MLB into their mid to late 30s.

Skill position players in football - running back, WR, some QBs - and defensive backs and linebackers could play soccer, if they started at a young age. You can't just take a football player and stick him on a soccer field though.

The giant contracts like A-rod has have skewed that a bit

I would love to stick a soccer player on a football field to see what would happen.

And not as a kicker or punter...something that had a bit of contact.

He'd probably try to hump the center.

stick him as a wide receiver and watch

they would hold their own

but you cant compare a guy that was bred to be fast and agile with a beast that was bread to destroy people

you couldnt put a wide receiver at lineman and expect him to do well

Somebody like Onyewu would probably be ok, but the average top tier players would not be able to take the physical pounding. They would get abused by DB's.

it would take a little adjustment gambo as soccer players aren't allowed to use their hands

The average soccer player would be better at football than the football player would be at soccer. You could probably say the same for a number of different sports, IMO.

That must drive their girlfriends and/or boyfriends crazy.

Average Soccer skills: run, pass, give and go, shoot, cross, bicycle kick, endurance, header, strong legs, throw-in

Average Football skills: run, knock people over, catch weird shaped ball, wear a helmet

Uh yeah I'm pretty sure a freaking soccer player knows how to be more athletic, its not even really a contest.

Even the Hand of God is illegal in soccer. Therefore, soccer is the ****ing Devil.

You idiots consider size to be a determining factor of athleticism.

It's not.

If we really want to get technical here, we need to consider what Bode Miller did in that "Superstars" competition a few years back. He practically embarrassed the rest of the competitors.
