Baseball vs. Soccer

So?
If used correctly diving is a great method to score.

I don't doubt it.

During a soccer cup\tournament, we have something called "penalty shootout;

Even if there is no penalty shootout there is still joy for the party ranked lower.

There's no I in team.
Soccer is the ultimate team sport.
Baseball isn't a team sport, it's just the pitch vs. batter.

You swing a bat, jog\walk to the 1st, and get replaced by someone who actually can run.

To top it all;
If you even attend a baseball game you can get killed by the ball.

 

That's just an excuse for players to get a break and stand up after sitting on the bench for hours.

 

pathetic..

 

it's also freakin sad how baseball players get paid a shit load of cash for no reason whatsoever. it's not like it takes skill to hit/throw a ball and pump some steroids. the money could go to somewhere else lol..same with american football. atleast when football players are payed they deserved it.

 

I don't know your typical american soccer match looks like but in europe players give 100% for the full 90 mins and you rarely see a 0-0 scoreline. Seriously try watching european football, its a completely different style.

 

If it takes no skill, why do the best baseball players hit .300ish?

You're really stupid, I wanna see you at least make contact with a ball.

 

Your an idiot. You obviously dont know what your talking about.

 

Exactly. People think its easy to hit a baseball.

 

Is that the only reason you have for baseball > soccer? If so, you've just proven that baseball players lack all of the skills and abilities that soccer players have.

 

soccer ftw ! Im not from USA and here in Europe we dont not play baseball at all Some of us even dont know that baseball means

 

Can a soccer player Block a baseball if he was in a smaller zone. I think it would be a little bit harder. (basically harder then a hockey goalie.)
I think not.

Anyways, Soccer players are not in the top condition of "anyone". Look at UFC, then tell me if soccer produces the greatest conditioned athletes. You have to do way more in Ufc then you have to do in soccer so dont call soccer the sport that produces the most conditioned athletes.

Anways, Its funny how so many people think hitting a baseball is so easy and throwing one 92-102 is easy and making a ball break so it barely hits the ground....

If some 19 year old in here can show me on youtube that they can hit a 92 mph fast ball then please do..

I bet you can dribble a soccerball with your feet though, as it is easier to do then years of practice in baseball.

 

No Im not saying that is the only reason, I am just saying that the majority of the people here saying soccer>baseball are saying hitting a baseball is very easy, which it is not.

 

I'd like to see you kick the ball in the top left corner (60Meter) away.

Dribbling requires focus, speed etc.

And?

Irrelevant, this is Soccer < Baseball

Just lock this thread, it's got out of hand. Besides, it's boring now.

 

Heres my take. Both are kind of boring. I would rather watch NBA/MMA/NFL.

Reasons are.
1. Baseball, no variety. Im not a fan but i just cant see watching a ball thrown over and over again to be missed most of the time. And then when it does get to the running, its about 10 seconds.

2. Soccer, scoring system and player placement is MADE to be near impossible to score. Only times are when a team screws up on the field. If played correctly, there wont be any points scored in the game.

However if it comes to a versus, i'd pick soccer over baseball anytime. Soccer happens to have more stuff happening than baseball.

 

ye i'm from europe and i wouldn't have a clue how to play baseball but i do like football (soccer)

 

Hockey, Greatest sport ever invented enought said.

 

Both are kinda boring : / hah

 

baseball is better, they dont FLOP, LMAO, watch the youtube vid below

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzgk46IXH7A and soccer or football, pros go to acting schools, wtf is with that?

 

Baseball is absolute shit and is the most boring sport in the world. Soccer is exciting and the ball is usually always in play, there's a reason the sport is #1 while baseball is #337390163 in the world.

 

Don't gravedig, please
