can someone explain the talent evaluation process for me? it seems as if they have a lot of substandard athletes that they deem to be great future prospects
 

If you want an example mate look at that cat we call Yakubu up front, I would beat the fat mong in a race but he scores loads of goals.

And Ive never seen Linford Christie twinkle toeing round Chelseas defence.

Your answer is in there, somewhere.
 
Pele was possibly the best and most talented footballer ever, couldn't run a mile for [Poor language removed] tho. look at the germans and russians, and even the chinese "super athletes" yeah they can run but not an ounce (thats a few grams in yank speak) of imagination or flair about them-- robotic. the thing that sets football apart from any other sport is thats its played with flair by people that strive to achieve skill and beauty, not by brainless chimps that can run fast. by the way how many of your "super athletes" could run fast AND keep control of a football? (thats the round variety of football by the way)
 

Your game is so gay compared to our rugby. It bears no relation to football. We picked the name you nicked it.
Oh and while I'm on, please explain the "world series"
 
no im an everton fan. i want them to be successful and win titles. im not real strong in the x and o of football. its just an observation from the games i see. i see alot of guys that just look like the guy you sit next to you at work out there playing professionally. these guys arent just track athletes. they play sports and just happen to be fast enough to run track. and as for ugby im really not here to debate that type of thing but i will tell you that not one, not one rugby player has the physical capabilities to play american football at the professional level.ive watched rugby. its a tough game no doubt. very entertaining. those guys are tough. but the level of athletcism and the size of the athletes and the violence of the game is not at the same level. but id rather talk about everton football and how they can possibly win some titles and not just finish mid table every year and keep their record of premiership consecutive years or whatever that they seem to strive for. i know here the teams i root for i want wins and titles. midtable is not acceptable. so how to you become better than man u? i believe that the answer falls with superior athletes. youll never get better footballers than they will. they'll always just buy everyone up. so you have to counter that somehow.
 
mate get a soccer ball and see how meny times you can keep it up with youre feet without it touching the floor!

its a bit differant than throwing it!!

and yes "football" means you play with the foot not the hand!!!

so how you call the nfl football is just shocking to me!!

if you called it "lets all put are shoulder pads on like girls and touch my mates arse while shouting numbers" that i could understand!!

do you like the way i spread my post out so people would read it!!
 
these guys have flair and athleticism that you will never see on a soccer pitch ever.im not talking about the little rich whimps that we send over there now. have you ever seen a chinese man running a 100meter? the american athletes that play american football and basketball are the best on earth. thats all im saying. i believe that can be translated to the pitch. i believe that its an untapped resource. you have the best pool of athletic talent on earth and none of them are playing in the sport. thus if you could get into that pool you can really elevate your team before man u and the figure it out. i see a game with no midfield. a game of constant attack, constant forward movement and the athletes to do it.i see a defensive line of tall fast athletes who dominate the air with their 38 in 1m+ verticals.i see 6'9 keepers with 7 foot wingspans more athletic than any keeper in the league eating up everything that comes in the box. i really think you may be underestimating how athletic these guys really are. they're big and fast and can leap and can fly around all over the place. theyre going to get every header, every loose ball, theyre going to beat their man to the goal. all you have to is teach them how to play and put it in the net. they'll catch on quick. these athletes exist, and they LOVE money. football can be a long and lucrative career and is not terrible on the body. you just have to get past the whole americans cant play football thing and realize that the best athletes in america have never set foot on a soccer pitch. show them that they can make $ and there you go.now youre bigger and faster than man u. theyll send out those little fags ronaldo and rooney. what a bunch of little fags. and these guys are mean tough, agressive. they are not soft. they come from the mean streets. they will make rooney and ronaldo cry like the girls they are and everton will be lifting honors while they wimp out and get hurt all the time. these guys wont get hurt playing football. they will hit you in the mouth and smile. if anyone thinks theres a better way to win the EPL please tell me. you wont do it by bringing in "irish nationals". doesnt ireland suck at football? (im irish myself so its not a dig)
 
the last time i will discuss rugby. this is all you need to know about the difference between rugby and american football. if they played 1 game of american football with no pads, you would probably have sevearl players paralyzed and maybe a death or two. thats the difference between the level of violence in the two games.its not feasible to play without the required eqipment. the size and speed of the athletes, bones would be breaking everywhere. it has nothing to do with macho.
 

rugby players might even be tougher, but they arent as big or fast and dont hit nearly as hard. force=mass x acceleration. its a simple formula.rugby players are smaller and slower. therefore the force of the hitting will not be as great thus you can play rugby w/out pads.

how hard is it to learn to kick a football into a net? not difficult for an elite athlete i can assure you, no matter what sport he played previously. think about your current everton team. to every palyer make them .5 seconds faster. now make them be able to jump 25 cm higher. make your keeper 15cm taller and add 25 cm to each arm and make him jump 25 cm higher. take the tallest defender in the league and make every defender that size and add the 25cm higher jumping. from what ive seen theres 3 ways to score in football in most cases. set pieces(free kicks corners), runs, and pks. in set pieces my players will be able to jump higher and will get all the headers leading to good scoring chances. on the run your players will not be able to keep up with my faster players. i will run by you creating opportunities. defensively i will be even better. my players are faster so they will get all loose balls and control the midfield. my defenders are faster than your strikers so you cant run by me. my defenders are taller and jump higher so they will get the headers limiting your scoring chances off set pieces. when the ball comes down my guys are faster so theyre going to get to the ball first. and forget about those 30 yd stephen gerrard top corner type stuff. thats gone too. my wall will be tall and will leap when the shot is struck limiting the angle possible to put it in the net. and if you do get it past my wall my huge goalie with long arms and leaping ability can cover the entire net and will eat that shot up. so tell me how are you going to score on me? how are you going to limit my scoring chances when im getting every header and running by your defense all night. thats what im talking about. thats treble winning football. thats kicking the [Poor language removed] out of those man u queers. id even take a red card and beat them with 10 men just to get a good shot on that traitor rooney or .ronaldo.bloody them up a bit thats what im talking about. unbeatable lines of defense. control of the midfield. copious amounts of scoring opportunities. winning football. everton football in the future. and its there for the taking. these athletes exist in large numbers. you just have to forget everything youve ever thought about american football players. those guys playing in the epl now like clint dempsey and tim howard, theyre nothing. these guys are a whole different animal. forget about the american thing and just think of them as players who can help everton win
 
This is the funniest thread I've read in a long time. I would agree with your thread about athleticism except for two points.

1) They're completely different sports. Footballers typically cover 10,000 metres every match, so it stands to reason that their body type is more akin to that of a long distance runner. A gridiron player on the other hand is used solely in short sprints, therefore their body type is built for that purpose.

2) We have something called dope testing in our sports. Fortunately you don't in America or you wouldn't have any 'athletes' left ;)
