Obviousy its all about personal preference, and Ive enjoyed some American Football, but I just can´t wrap my head around the fact that they stop the play so frickin often. Shifting the ball around, patiently waiting to pounce when an opportunity arise, recycling the ball left to right. Ah its so fucking beautiful. | ||

That's the funny thing, AMericans see football as a ludicrously slow game, because of passing around in circles etc. But their game literally has ad breaks programmed into the schedule lol! NFL does stop a lot, but when you are used to it you realise this just makes it better. It's all about the coordinators and head coach who are designing 'plays' which are the routes everyone will run when the game restarts. NFL is definitely more explosive, it's kind of obvious. There are like 4 ronaldos on every team! | ||

I'll have my messi's and my zidane's and you can have your bolt's and your cristiano's. But it's a superior game for the coaches at least. I know it's very very tactical. Pep should switch sports and invent NFL tiki-taka. lol | ||

Pep should switch sports and invent NFL tiki-taka. lol I know what you are trying to say, but those are some horrible comparions lol. Bolt is from another sport in which he is very talented and Cristiano is massively talented XD Anyway I think the word you are looking for is technique and not talent, which would make more sense  | ||

+ Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + Messi, Ronie and other artists of football were born with it as these vids show. If we had the technology back then I'm sure we would find similar vids of Georgie Best, Maradona, Cruyff etc Very few players have that finesse. | ||

But it completely misses the point XD What you describe is talent, but you talk as if Bolt and Cristiano ronaldo have none which is so blatantly false. Talent can manifest itself in different ways. | ||

I think both things are equally impressive . There is way more autonomy in play in football so it allows for far more creativity and individual finesse. There are some breathtaking acts of individual talent in NFL that mostly come from quarterbacks, especially the ones who pretty much run their own offensive coordination lol.+ Show Spoiler + Also NFL has loltastic amounts of heart in it sometimes, check out this guy who was a rookie in this: + Show Spoiler + In other news...Benteke  There's one other thing the NFL (well all american sports) unfortunately completely rapes football at and that's their ability to make unbelievable retrospective shows. There's this whole branch of the NFL called NFL films which is incredible, producing amazing stuff every year that just fleshes out the game so much more. Like why Sky does promos about things like when Thierry Henry returned except x10. We have nothing like this unfortunately: + Show Spoiler + | ||

I always say Liverpool only turn up vs the big teams, and when they are faced with teams /defending and /counter they just fall apart and lose games they shouldn't They in big trouble 1-0 down at home to Southampton atm | ||
