Personally i like both.
Real football because i used to play and its pretty intense to watch. 90 minutes of no timeouts or very minimal timeouts for substitutions or penalties... i dunno its a very rough contact sport, i like watching it.
American football because it's also fun to watch. i like rooting for my College football team.. its great to see rivalries and sometimes the game can change at any instant by a well-placed field goal or a touchdown. |

i got no problem with both either, the only thing it pisses me off that basic american sport channel doesnt have too much football, they have like 10 hours of american football instead.
Well once in a while american sport channels should give a chance to football
:( |

yeah thats true.. well you can always upgrade your cable service for the total sports package that way you can get great Bundesliga and Premier League football action! or pretty much any football league overseas.
and now that i think about it.. i wish there were more channels dedicated to Rugby as well. I dont understand the sport but its fun to watch! Now thats a REAL contact sport! :D |

I dont like either much but they can't be compared at all because other than the name they have NOTHING in common. Its like comparing baseball to basketball. I think better comparisons in terms of likenesses would be Hockey vs. Soccer(futbol) and American Football vs. Rugby
I dont like soccer(futbol) because to me the game is frustrating to watch as it seems people rarely score. It reminds me too much of hockey where theres one person with the ball or puck and then they pass it, pass it again, then someone misses a goal and repeat over and over and over. It is nice though when someone scores on a cool play like a header or flipping on their back or something.
American football I think is a more balanced sport because it doesnt limit you to only parts of your body and there is more physical contact. Yes people say the players are pussies for wearing pads but when was the last time you saw a 6'4" 350lb soccer player trying to tackle someone. The downsides of football is that when there are penalties the game can be quite slow and there is delays between plays which can add to the slowness of the game. |

Soccer is ok to watch. Although I cannot watch it for more than 10 mins...i just get bored and fed up with the timer. I still don't understand that thing.
Football I can only watch a little of too. ALthough I can usually sit through a whole game, i usually end up watching til commercials, then changing, and if I get back on the channel I watch more.
Hockey I love to watch. I can watch all day, as long as the red wings are playing.
rugby is kinda fun to watch. although I get bored of it soon also. |

soccer :rolleyes: ffs.
Football I love. I like to watch, and I like to play even more. American football is just a wimps version of Rugby and bores me. |
