Wow, it went by so fast they changed sports!

@Renpony  
I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Is that beast boy?

An American Football field is fixed at 100 yards between goal lines and 53 1/3 yards wide; a soccer pitch (apparently?) varies from 100-130 yards between goal lines and 50-100 yards wide. All I know is that any time I watch a soccer game on TV it takes them roughly twelve days to zigzag from one end to the other and the pitch looks like it should have its own post code.
 
…I’m not sure how exactly this jerkbutt of a phone managed to turn a hyperbolic comment about three periods feeling like three hours each into one three hour game, but I do know that editing text fields sucks a whole bag full on a damn Samsung keyboard. >_< NFL games of course take longer in real time than FIFA games, but the difference is in how that time is spent; football is a series of brief flurries of furious action with enough time in between to build up suspense and where there’s some kind of payoff (either scoring or side-changing) every few plays, while futbol is just nonstop action all the time with constant control changes and there’s only occasionally a potential scoring payoff. It’s more exhausting to watch because it never slows down.  
Football also has way more opportunity for statistics nerds to nerd the hell out than futbol’s freeform play, and boy howdy do we as a nation like to live vicariously through somebody else’s numerically quantifiable achievements.

And if you need any proof about whether a good kicker is important or not, just compare Vinateri and Scott Norwood

@MuffinSucker  
He can make a tackle on a defender trying to go in the end zone on kickoffs. So yeah Kickers are not absolutely nothing.

@Marewaukeean  
Every soccer player can play any part, the only exception being the goalie. In American Football every player only plays one part, including the kicker, who does absolutely nothing unless the game calls for a field goal attempt.

If soccer/futbol fields were the size of American Football fields instead of the size Belgium, the game would be as popular here as it is in the rest of the world. As it is, by the time you look from one end of the field to the other the three hour game is half over, and Americans just do not have that kind of attention span.

Must’ve been one of those artificial turf hyprids of soccer/american football we have here at some schools, mainly colleges/universities…..but yeah, it does look like someone painted the field differently in between scenes

@igotnopicks
 
The term Soccer was actually invented in England shortly after the game Association Football was created.
 
Officially naming it Soccer in the US came about because American Football was invented shortly after and originally played with mostly the feet. Which is why they call it football.
 
In the US Soccer became the official name since American Football and Association Football both sound stupid to say so they used Football for one and the once nickname Soccer for the other creating a clear division.
 
This led to arguments on the internet from people whom want it said “right.” The UK then distanced themselves from the nickname they created and betrayed the US. When I called the US ambassador and asked them if this damaged Anglo American relations he said and I am quoting: “Are you high or something?”
 
Whether this currently active conflict could provoke WW3 is still up for debate.

@Background Pony  
My thoughts exactly on ponyfortress fags doing the same.

Absolutely hilarious.

@Background Pony  
Spitfire is part snake. {She has some naga in her blood.}

Jesus! Look at Spitfire’s head as she/he says “Well, lookie what we got here…” Can they dislocate their jaw like a snake?

@majorgeneral  
Football is Soccer in Britain. Not in the U.S.

That is the manliest Spitfire ever.

well you know what they say football was call football long before it was called soccer

um that’s super confusing xd

Someone will suffer the consequences of HELL!

I’ll tell you why that happened.
 
The soccer field could not contain the combined awesomeness of Spitfire and Rainbow Dash so they carried the game onto the football field to spare the soccer field’s life.

Hmm, this is going to be weird on the IDW forums.

@soundtea  
They didn’t care enough?

They’re still using a Soccer ball. :/

EqG’s taint corrupts anything it touches.
