Different sports, different skill sets. Neither could cross over successfully to to the other at the top level.

[Lundgren]

LMAO so b/c you have to be both physically atheletic and skilled to play football skill is somehow less important? fuking wonderful logic there...

LOL an opinion based in nothing is certainly an opinion

That`s basic common sense nimrod.

Just look at the bell curve for football only about 1-100 even have the physical size to be recruited, your excluding about 99 of the pop based on size nothing else.

Soccers bell curve for size is pretty much average, meaning they include a larger portion of the population.

And it`s common fucking sense  way the fuck more people play soccer intensely than football. There`s about 2 billion people to recruit soccer players from, and about 300 million yanks.

and that means it takes more skill to play soccer?

lol gezz....you guys...simply b/c you have to be big, fast and strong to play football doesnt mean it takes just as much skill or more to play it than soccer...

[tonymctones]

No man, running through a field of players with a ball in your hands demands way more skill.  

yea i mean kicking a ball while ppl have to attack the ball instead of you takes much more skill...LOL

Ronaldo is the 13th highest paid athlete in the world..He also just turned 26 years of Age and his stock id going up every day..He may break 100 million in a few years.

He's got big contracts with NIke, Armani, castro.....
He's got the most expensive branded Nike shoes..
Plus he doesn't die at 50 years old like an average NFL player.

You think soccer players aren't enhanced? Talk about naive.

Juventus were blood doping in the late 1980's...They had some good doctors that were pioneers when it comes to performance enhancing drugs.

he team doctor from France’s ‘98 World Cup win has made some fairly damning statements regarding the blood samples of France’s World Cup-winning side from 1998. Conveniently, he has a book coming out.

Normally this would seem an absurd money grab with a book on the fore, but Paclet took out the magic word when it comes to questionable sporting practices: Juventus.Juve were put to trial for doping after numerous accusations in the mid-nineties and a couple of directors were found guilty of administering EPO before finding success in appeals court. Acquitted, but the stigma lingers.Paclet notes that there were anomalies in certain samples and that this was suspicious, given that some French players had played with certain football leagues, “notably those in the Italian league”.“Blood tests revealed amomalies for several Bleus just before the 1998 World Cup,” he told Le Parisien.In reference to midfield stars Zinedine Zidane and Didier Deschamps who both played at Juventus, the doctor said, “it’s public knowledge that there were practices which were borderline, to say the least, at Juventus at that time”.“I’m not making anything up. Having a high hematocrit level [a measure of red blood cells] did not prove that they took EPO [Erythropoietin – a hormone often used for performance enhancement in sports].“As there was no proof we didn’t bother them,” says Paclet, the French team doctor from 2004 to 2008. “Nevertheless it can’t be said that if we had pursued the tests we would have found proof.”However Jean-Marcel Ferret, the French team doctor at the time of the World Cup win says they “found nothing”. He admits there were anomalies regarding the level of red blood cells, “but they were linked to tiredness from the league”, adding that his “conscience is clear”.Paclet’s suspect timing doesn’t really eliminate the suspect nature of their blood tests when coupled with the original source, though he does seem to imply it was “clubs”, not just Juventus.However, the fact that The Implosion explodes onto bookstore shelves tomorrow certainly doesn’t seem to make the accusations any less self-serving. One of these days someone is going to make an outlandish, head-turning statement without a book release coming by the end of the month, in turn throwing a cloud on their plausible accusations.
But don’t hold your breath.

hold on let me wrrite up an insult, oh wait, I dont give a fuck haha.

you should try and do the same some day there mr dorm room lol

You have been posting a lot today....did you poke a hole in your life-size Cock Chestnar doll with your little dwarf penis?

[Hulkotron]

I love how the soccer fans always try to prop up soccer by comparing the player salaries for what is by far the biggest European sport salary-wise to the NFL, which is nowhere close to having the kind of money that gets thrown around in the NBA and MLB.  There are huge salaries in both those leagues, much bigger than what the NFL has.

Average NFL salary: $1.8 million
Average MLB salary: $3.3 million
Average NBA salary: $3.4 million

The average EPL salary last year was $2.4 million with the current exchange rate (about 0.62).  I can't be bothered to look up salaries for all the others country's leagues but I'm sure they are similar, probably lower.  CRonaldo's 2010 salary was $18.1 million.  Alex Rodriguez makes $33 million.  Barry Zito hasn't been good in five years and he makes more than 18.1.  Fifteen MLB players and three NBA players made more than that in 2010.  There is big money in top-flight European soccer leagues for sure but to arbitrarily compare it to the #3 salary league in the USA is just strawmanning.

Kelly Smith got more game than any North American player, should earn more than 90% of MLS.

nfl, and nascar har to be two of the most boring inventions in the world

a guy once asked the nascar driver what it takes to a nascar racer... the answer was "just able to keep turning left"

Then why aren't you doing it and a millionaire?

[Figo]

he played top level since very young, was world player of the year 3 times, twice as a teen, he's been breathing, sleeping and eating soccer for maybe 20 yrs, world cup winner, champions league winner, played in holland, spain, italy for huge clubs, went back home to finish playing, and after more knee surgeries than one can count, retired.

most players wouldve retired after the terrible first knee injury he had, which was recurring, never mind both legs numerous times, so all things considered, playing in pain for 15 yrs at the top level, no doubt full of pain-killers & ergogenics not too bad.

better examples of a footballing genius that are lazy and went to shit after living the good life at a young age, are Maradonna, Ronaldinho & Best.
footballing geniuses, but not too much brain power

let's see

so NBA players with great hand coordonation and much superior athleticism could not be better soccer players than skinny midgets hmm

no matter what messi would do he would be a punter at most in NFL but not even that cause he would cause a lot of trouble for the team throwing himself on the ground before being actually tackled.

kobe has more balance and coordonation than all soccer players combined. He is much taller, stronger and runs faster ..hmm

Don't forget Diego had a pretty shitty youth and after that he became the world's best, most expensive, well paid player. Have you ever seen footage of Maradona in Napels trying to get to his car or when he tried to go out for dinner? People went fucking crazy if they knew he was around. During that time the mob pretty much owned him. There was no way he could leave Napoli. If you take all this shit in consideration I'd say it's a miracle he was able to perform as well on the field as he did. He's arguably the best player in the history of the sport. You don't compare Ronaldihno or Best to someone of his caliber.

You are so stupid it is beyond belief.

There is a talent pool of literally millions in soccer, yet only a few players in history who are on the level of Messi. Kobe would do nothing in football. Completely different sports completely different skillsets. Are russian players or African players the best soccer players? Even though they are bigger and faster thn the whole spanish team? No...It's a skill sport.

What is athletacism anyway? 99% of nba/nfl players would do nothing in football and get destroyed in mma or boxing and vice versa, different sports different skillsets.
