There are so many different aspects compared to Americna football.  Soccer involves so much creativitiy among players with the ball and without. Reading another players mind before he makes a play, pass, run or shot. The commorodity you build on a successful team.  The best answer for you is you really have to play to truely understand. (Which I recomend)

ummmmmmmmmm 2 be a ballerina u need 2 be skinny nd have agility. a football player needs power, speed, agility, quickness............ u have 2 play hurt when ur a football player a ballrina prob will not dance if they have a broken nail. i played football with busted up fingers, concusions, sprained knees, sprained ankles, a played a playoff game once with a severely strained neck/back, as a freshman i was handed the ball 2 win the championship winning toach down as i was pushing my way 2 the end zone i felt my finders snaping, nd popping out as defenders were tryin 2 push me back nd my teamates were pushing me foward. as a full back i moved very strong people on my back trying 2 gain extra yards, as a linebacker i gave people hits that gave me concusions, as a tight end i had 2 catch, block, nd run more than a ballerina does in a lifetime, as a qb i had 2 read defenses nd make perfect throws. so football is  muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch harder than ballet's where u prance around in underwear. i doubt i would ever see a ballerina dancing in below freezing temperatures on a icy field. no offenc 2 them they r athletes nd have skill jus not even close 2 football players\nok im going 2 continue this more playing football with a strained neck/back is the most painful thing iv ever done in my life. nd iv batted in baseball with a partially dislocated shoulder that i felt slip out as a took a swing. iv thrown a baseball 92 mph with a shredded up arm. everytime i made a tackle it felt like my head was going 2 come off. nd its true we do get breaks 2 set up for plays but not when its a hurry up offense nd i played all 3 sides of the ball special teams, offense, defense in every game. that takes more out of u. u ever been tackled by a monster of a man while doing your heel toe. once again no offence 2 u what u do is athletics nd it takes skill but jus not nearly as much as a football player. heres another example i was a senior last year in hs nd for the playoffs i was on the field for every single play xept 5 plays. that takes everything out of u. nd so what my ankle turns like that when i have people tackeling me. nd those red feet r u kidding me do u want to see the surgery scars i have on my knees nd shoulder (to be fair the shoulder thing came from baseball but football made it vulnerable) 3 knee minor knee surguries nd 2 minor shoulder surgeries. srry about ur red feet though. nd again no offense what u do is challenging but u cant compare dancing with football

Great running backs are instinctual movers. They have great vision on the field able to see side to side. Also quick and powerful legs. If you want to train work on your legs, strenght them, and practice moving side to side quickly. Just remember a running back knows he's going to get him, but the good ones keeping their legs moving until they're down.

There are a lot of injuries that take place in football a longer season would significantly shorten the careers of the players. The other stuff is there to try to distract us from the long offseason.

It is used to keep track of the down for the play.  The head referee is the only one that wears it.   He is the one that places the football on the line of scrimmage to start the play.

they can play football....!\n\nif you're commenting on them not being good at it you should probably ask the same question about Americans ! They really can't play football.\n\nEstonians have better things to be doing...like long distance cross country skiing in minus 20 degrees. That's much more of a skill.

Football. It's played with the feet!

Um, no I usually don't like for my leg to get cut off.  And most football players play more than one game, with one leg cut off, I don't think that they would!

The reason players wear boots is obvious, the boots are catered to make playing easier.\n\nHowever, the Laws of football does not stipulate that all players must wear only boots. The requirement is only to have proper shoes which will not be dangerous to others. The reason is to ensure the feet is protected.\n\nHowever it will look very silly for a player in a proper league or tournament, to wear running or casual footwear. Such footwear will not be good for grip, kicking and running on a grass field.\nJust as you won't expect a tennis player to wear basketball shoes, as it will hinder his mobility, you don't expect a footballer to use anything except footwear designed for the type of soccer pitch, he's playing on.\n\nYou shouldn't wear boots with studs on an astro-turf pitch, or a many studded one during rainy weather. Using such footwear will hamper one's grip or running on the surface.

I agree with you totally. Football doesn't make much sense.\n\nI believe the game was originally called football because the players would kick the ball through the uprights for a score.\n\nWhatever, it should be called something else.

I'm sorry, but for those who keep saying that you have to use your feet to run (no $#!#), that has got to be the most retarded explanation.  With that reasoning, then baseball can be called football, because you run around the bases, basketball can be called football, because they run up and down the court, tennis, bowling, and any other sport that you have to walk or run in and involves a ball would be able to be called football.  For those talking about punters and kickers, yes, they do use their feet to kick the ball, but how much time does the ball spend getting kicked? Not much, it really shouldn't be called football in my opinion, maybe throwball, passball, or maybe it should take on the word "soccer" instead.  And for the guy that said it's the most boring sport on earth, I think a few billion people would disagree with you on that one.

Running backs have to be able to make quick and decisive cuts.  They make these cut backs while larger defensive lineman and linebackers are not only hanging all over them.  Add to this the fact that some only grab an arm, jersey or shoulder pad and twist their torso forcing them to make a cut while being pulled in the opposite direction.  If this happens while their foot/cleats di into the ground, it puts a lot of pressure on their knees and could easily result in an ACL tear.  That is why most running backs are short and bulky with strong leg muscles to help take some of the stress of the knee joint during a game.  other positions like receivers are usually getting tackled by the secondary guys and don't have to fight through a gauntlet of Lineman and linebackers that a runningback has to go through.  Thats why analysts always talk about how many players are in the box to help stop the run.

let me put it this way, if youre not watching football and youre a man, then there is something wrong with you. but football is fun mainly because of the intensity that is shown and the hard hitting that the players do. it is also fun if you have playing experience, if you do, it will just remind you of your old days playing high school ball or college.

G'day Resst,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nSoccer requires more energy and stamina because most players are on the pitch for all of the game. In higher profile games, they have extra time. American football players spend approximately half the time off the ground not to mention all of the time outs in the game.\n\nI won't compare the skill levels of the game because both games require different skills.\n\nThe injury levels of American football would be higher because it is a contact sport.\n\nThere are also games like rugby and Australian rules which demand the stamina of soccer and the durability of American fooball.\n\nRegards\n\nI w

The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. A military manual dating from the period of the Han Dynasty includes among the physical education exercises, the "Tsu'Chu". This consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an opening, measuring only 30 - 40 cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes - a feat which obviously demanded great skill and excellent technique. A variation of this exercise also existed, whereby the player was not permitted to aim at his target unimpeded, but had to use his feet, chest, back and shoulders whilst trying to withstand the attacks of his opponents. Use of the hands was not permitted. The ball artistry of today's top players is therefore not quite as new as some people may assume.\n\nThe contemporary history of football spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the world's first football association was founded - The Football Association in England. Both forms of football stemmed from a common root and both have a long and intricately branched ancestral tree. Their early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees and to which the historical development of football is related and has actually been traced back. Whether this can be justified in some instances is disputable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that playing a ball with the feet has been going on for thousands of years and there is absolutely no reason to believe that it is an aberration of the more "natural" form of playing a ball with the hands.\n\nMore on the history off the game, check:\nhttp://www.fifa.com/en/history/history/0,1283,1,00.html
