I've never understood how people could consider football a fast paced game. I often wonder if these people have ever watched a football game. For every 10 second of play theres a minute of stoppage or more. This isnt even counting the zillions of commercial breaks and infinitely long half times. Soccer on the other hand can go several minutes or more without a stoppage, and the stoppages are usually brief.
I can see how you'd consider basketball a fast paced game, it usually is pretty entertaining. I sort of have the same complaint about them towards the end though. I don't know if you've ever seen the last minute or so of a close playoff game - I've seen this last minute of play take well over 15 minutes.
Don't even get me started on baseball.

everyone is crasy soccer and american football are totely difrent sports

soccer is a running game and u have to have cartavasqular and you have to be able to run for long distences

and football is both u have to have enderance and then u have to mussle to be good at the soprt

you can have an arguement say it isn't exactly fast paced (american football) because the whistle blows after every down, but DURING the play it is pretty fast pace, you got the QB hiking the ball the linemen going at each other recievers running their routes etc etc but thats just my opinion...all depends on your attnetion span...but the frequent commercials are annoying because american football is so corporate now with all these big companies endorsing and shit

like i said people here enjoy high scoring games, which american football, basketball, and sometimes baseball provide

Not the "world cup"...but....

I know for most of you this is ancient history, before most of you were even born... but the US did win an international event that brought our country "together" in 1980 when we took the Gold in Hockey at the Olympics in Lake Placid. Defeating the Soviets to go to the Gold Medal game was not only a major upset, it was a huge motivational need during a very tough time for U.S. moral during the "cold war".

It was voted the top US sports moment of the 20th century in a majority of polls/articles, and still to this day is something many of us "older" folks can look back and cherish what a turning point this single sporting event had in our inner-country political and supportive views.

I suggest that if you are not familiar with this "history" that you'll go see the movie "Miracle" that comes out next week. Sure it will be "dramatized", but I hear that it portrays the events of that year pretty well.

And it has to do with hockey which is the greatest game on ice.

But hardly nobody, apart from a handful of countries actually take notice with ice hockey. In England it is like behind Football, Rugby, Cricket and tennis, and is probably on par with Bowles (now theres a fucking boring sport, if u could call it that)

I just try and work out why don't America enjoy football, because the sport is popular with kids, the womens football team are one of the best in the world, and their team are actually not that bad, and if the sport grew then america could compete with the top ten nations for football, because the foundations are there. Its just none of ur nation cares, and you should do!

Winning the Hockey, in the olympics is nothing compared to winning the world cup. I was in Paris the day France won the World Cup in 98. Let's just say that we were home late due to poor planning! The celebrations, were emence!

Even when England won the Rugby world cup, the whole of England were rejoiced together...!!!

But hey, keep onto memories
