I don't know about those two playing Soccer, But I would imagine them playing Rugby, They'll kick everyone elses ass since Rugby is just glorified Football and Soccer rolled into one.

Argentina FTW!

Originally posted by paranoik0 I've only played for a couple seasons as a keeper in rink hockey which is a very different sport so I guess it doesn't count as real experience, but still there are some small similarities. Of course the keeper has to be in good physical condition, like any other player on the field! It's just that the physical skills required for the position are very, very different than the skills required for american football. Raw speed is important when one-on-one with a striker yes, but timing makes a huge part of it. It is also very important to react fast but that is quite different from pace. Strenght i don't think it is important at all (except for strenght on the fists to punch the ball!), you just don't see Buffon, Cech, Dida with the huge chest from those guys whose pics were posted before! It's all about agility, reflexes, not the size of the muscles! That's what I meant..

yea there are similarities in hockey keepers and soccer keepers reflexes is one. I used to play that too. But for american football you have to catch, you have to run, hit people hard, win balls out of the air, throw, punt, have good timing...... need I say more? An athlete is an athlete.

All those things I listed aplly to keepers as well

hit people hard?

What a hell is that guy doing ? He must see Tiesto and raise his hands

Originally posted by BeatFreak Try throwing and catching. Or better yet...using your HANDS. All while guys are trying to take your head off. You both lose this argument. There's plenty of fast guys like Vick. It's just that Vick is a quarterback who has a cannon for an arm too. Do i need to explain what a quarterback is? Football players don't stand around like soccer players when the ball isn't near them.

lol you are stupid, soccer players dont stand around on the field, you probbly seen some gay ass game between two college soccer team

flame me all you want but

US is very good at soccer and will do well this summer, so i dunno why there is a discussion about them not being good. Let's not forget they've performed better than France, Italy, Argentina... etc. at the past world cup, they're ranked like 7th in the world right now by FIFA, and their keepers are tremendous.

i dont think anyone said they werent good.

"According to a survey conducted by F�d�ration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), football's governing body, published in the spring of 2001, over 240 million people regularly play football in more than 200 countries in every part of the world. Its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements have no doubt aided its spread and growth in popularity. In many parts of the world football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world."

First, thanks for allowing the flaming. Second, it's not soccer, it is football, so join the rest of the world and call it what it actually is. Third, I don't know whether or not US will do well in the WC, they are in a tough group. Italy and Czech Republic are the teams I think will advance. Fourth, I've not forgotten about their last WC, they took Mexico out. Fifth, the ranks of FIFA suck. The US and Mexico face easier teams than the national teams in Europe. Don't rely on that to determine how good a nation is. The only accurate position in the rank is that of Brazil. Sixth, the goalies are indeed good in this country. They train them like soldiers.

I don't think the US is bad but their style of playing sure puts me to sleep.

One of these - Czech Republic/Italy - will not be in the 2nd round. And it will most likely be Italy because they'll do something stupid like bring Del Piero and Vieri for the ride. I know DP is in great form right now but players like Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino.. I'll even go as far as Iaquinta.. deserve the spot more. And Vieri is just nowhere to be found... where is he in France now?

we got a nice group, i hope we destroy germany

Originally posted by tribu For being the defending champs, they got a bit of a tough draw. Austrailia should be a tough match and Croatia is no pushover. I do not know much about the japanese team though
