MLS blows but i like the major international tournaments. Soccer can bread some serious hate, so i admire that.

This place has too many europoor soccer threads though.

I'm a Chiefs fan, so i shouldn't even like the NFL. All the ever do is disappoint me.

For me, it's a draw.

Rugby is more fun, I don't get the love for American football. Plays are no longer than 10 seconds and if they fail to do the play they get the ball again and go for it once more. I doesn't make any sense

left isn't soccer but rugby

Right. Because I'm American, it's our sport and like most other countries, we tend to stick with what we know and what has already been clearly established long before any of us were born.

I could actually start following Rugby and possibly even gain an admiration for the sport, I just don't ever see myself choosing it over American Football, it's too ingrained in our society, especially in my state, to ever try and replace it.

>an American giving an argument that isn't "right because left if gay and played by poor people"
can't believe it

Right because I'm familiar with it. I know most of the rules, teams, players etc.

Not a big fan of it, just know nothing of rugby.

only if you're a pussy or a super-manlet anon, tons of smaller guys are successful in rugby.

You are somewhat right. But players 1 to 8 are huge guys. 9 and 10 can be whatever, being huge isn't what we ask of them. 11 to 15 should be very muscular too, because they tend to get big hits at high speed, or need to tackle big guys running fast.
So you have 2/15 players that *can* be small, ideally they need to be able to tackle other big guys.
Pic related, an "average" guy in pro rugby: 191 cm, 104 kg. I won't like to tackle him.

sports wise nfl

demarcus ware the guy on the right is 6'5 and 270 lbs or 127 kgs and 1.96 meters tall. Also runs a 4.5 (he's .2's of second in the 40 meter than olympic sprinters.


That's a freakshow

I do like both sports
but I prefer rugby over football, stopping play time every 10 seconds per play makes football really boring, rugby in the other hand play time is always runing so you have to be focused con what is going on all the time. I don't like the idea of having a teammate that only plays defense or offense, it's way more fun being able to play well both sides.

I wish rugby was more popular here

My high school actually had a rugby club. I don't know who they played against though.

i play rugby since 10 years ago, so yeah, rugby.
desu american football it's just too slow and there's no action, in rugby it's nonstop, more fun, more tackle.

>>76136372
>>76136372
dude, if you know about rugby EVERYONE falls if you tackle them below their knees (plus short guys are more scary in rugby, as they can go down to bottom and tackle you to the ground very easily)

if you want to familiarize yourself with it, you could start with 7s rugby. The rules are the same as for rugby union, and very similar to rugby league.

The rugby sevens olympic games are on youtube, you can stream them in your living room

6 and 7 can be small too, the same goes for the two wings and the full-back. They tend not to be

>>76136431
That's impressive, but he has also sacrificed endurance for the sake of speed and strength. You similar athletes in rugby

This I played for my city club and we had this short little hook who was essentially a cannon ball. super hard to tackle 1 on 1 basically as long as your not a pussy you can be small as fuck and still have an impact as he would dive straight into bigger guys legs to make tackles (spoiler) tbf he was injured alot (/spoiler)
>>
>>76139125
He also benches 180kg so... Take from that what you will
>>
>>76139323
Lol disregard that autism it was only 160kg

Even so
>>
>>76138639
I hope so, they should get something for giving up endurance completely. I've tried looking at players highlights etc, but they're just not that good. Mememkenzie has better highlights than anyone the NFL players I've tried to look at, like Brady, Gronkowski, Lamar Jackson, David Njoku, the top highlights that come up when I search for positions and highlights.

Burgers, what should I search for to get good highlights?

>>76139125
>no tactics
compared to the depth of football tactics I won't say rugby is very complicated

oh com'on we're anonymous you have nothing to gain by defending this brutes sport "honor"
rugby is all about power, speed, violence, but certainly not about sophisticated tactics
>>
>>76139645
Not really into gridiron but I can tell you that Brady/the Pats aren't flashy, they're more brutal efficiency.

Different roles, just like handegg.

Forwards particularly locks are anywhere between 6'4-'6'11. Backs vary a lot but they still have to be physically strong enough to tackle and take hits from anyone. Not like receivers who solely rely on pace and catching.
