Compare to Rugby where they get the fuck back up and only pass the ball when they have 5 guys on them. In cloth not plate!
I know certain Football players can occasionally roll around and whine for a penalty, but that's the exeption... the whole game isn't built around it!
I will never understand America and it's crazy sports, well at least you have Canada and Japan with you! I know which kind of Football the other 95% of the planet plays 
Anyway I hope the USA wins 4-0. The only thing I hate more than Football is people calling it Soccer! |
The difference between the size and power of the hits in Football Vs Rugby is astounding. No rugby player would last 2 minutes without pads in football today, not because they are "wimps" but rather because football players aren't even human anymore. I think people who play professional rugby are some of the toughest bastards on the planet, aside from hockey players but still..professional football players are just, freaks/steroided up super humans.
