I used to play against some retired pro players. They were like 50-60 and would just destroy you with their first touch. Somehow they'd barely move, and you'd be going the wrong direction.
I got to play against a former League 2 striker, and he was about 15 years retired, and still battered everyone around him. Its almost impossible to perceive how much further ahead the elite level guys are
I recently learned the fact that in 79 years of the NBA existing, only 4.800 players were listed in it.
Now imagine how many hundreds of million americans lived in these 79years. Even if you take out women, elderly, babies etc.ots insane how smal of a percentage these 4.800 players are. They are so elite, even the worst one will trash everyone below him.
Similar situation with many coaches in other places. It was weird when I tried to Google some of my teachers and to find that my PE teacher was a professional athlete in his youth. Similar situation was with many other PE teachers and people who are running sport activity related organisations. I found a few who were exercise instructors in the military and police force and found quite a lot of athletes. Which was mindboggling to me because the vast majority of them were overweight when I was doing my googling searches so at the time I didn't believe it.
Flopjoggers or Europeans if you will came up with fahrenheit too, but we've moved on from our savage ways since then, and now only backwater and 3rd world countries uses those terms and units.
“American” football is called Gridiron Football to differentiate from Association Football (soccer) and Rugby Football. All fall under the umbrella of football because they are all played on foot.
Soccer is short for Association Football which is the full name. The same way Rugby is actually Rugby Football and there are various other football games with their own rules.
It's called "soccer" because it's a slang abbreviation of "association football," a term used in 19th-century England to distinguish the game from "rugby football" (or "rugger"). Oxford University students popularized shortening words by adding "-er," so "association" became "assoc," then "assoccer," and finally "soccer" (and "rugby" became "rugger").
Edit
I also want to add that Football was generically called anything not played on foot. American football is really called Gridiron Football. There is also Canadian Football, and Australian Football

That first touch is always the last thing to go.

“I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me”
-Former worst player in the NBA Brian Scalabrine who has a Scallenge where he beats anybody 1 on 1.

That applies to all sports honestly. Even e-sports.
E-sports is not a sport. It's fat dudes playing fake sports on a console. No physical exertion required.
I’ve always found it’s the first thing to go. Whenever I’ve picked it up again after a year or two I have an absolute trampoline foot.
From now on, I will do 3 push ups every time I fall
dam, you still fall? feel like I haven't fell in 15 yrs
I do, and looking forward to the next one
That just means you're not trying to go past your comfort zone, homie
i can't even dribble a ball.
It's okay. These football coaches were previously some of the best football players on the planet. They're not random old people in suits.
Similar situation with many coaches in other places. It was weird when I tried to Google some of my teachers and to find that my PE teacher was a professional athlete in his youth.

What do you mean "similar situation"? How many of the coaches you saw in the video were overweight? What you're describing is an American phenomenon.
Do it on it, it's a little easier.
In suits.....that's classy lol.
Like Mr peanut
*Football Dudes
YES!
Then why are they playing soccer?
They are playing foot+ball, not hand+egg
Oh we’re doing that joke? Maybe your sport should be called flopjog then.
Yes, we are doing that joke lol!
It never fails to elicit a strong reaction from the handegg crowd
They all have CTE. Be nice now
What kind of reaction does it elicit to remind the flopjoggers that they're the ones who came up with the term "soccer"?
Flopjoggers or Europeans if you will came up with fahrenheit too, but we've moved on from our savage ways since then, and now only backwater and 3rd world countries uses those terms and units.
Football describes what they are doing pretty well - just like handegg describes that weird thing americans do.
Just like so many of history's atrocities, you can blame the British for influencing how we named our sports in the US.
Soccer was a term invented by the British.
Sure. It still makes more sense to call it football, than calling handegg football.
“American” football is called Gridiron Football to differentiate from Association Football (soccer) and Rugby Football. All fall under the umbrella of football because they are all played on foot.
By that metric handball is a kind of indoor football as it's played on foot (and the goalkeeper is allowed to touch it with their foot)
Sure, I wouldn’t argue against calling handball a form of football. There are all kinds of football played around the world with different rules.
Sorry to tell you, but this is football, real football.
Thank you very much!
Funny enough everyone blames the Americans for the term but it was actually the English! u/guitarguy1685 has a good explanation below.
What's the deal with calling football.... Soccer ? You play with your foot, not with your...... Soc

Assoc ?

What’s the deal with calling soccer football?
Football is an umbrella term that captures multiple sports because they are played on foot.

Very nonchalant.
I like the double cheek stop the best
Class is permanent
You know most managers were professional players at one point, many of them top class; like Xabi Alonso.
Like riding a bike, these guy never forget how it's done.
Freaking Ange in a three piece suit, one hand in his pocket and straight killing it
So chill
Completely unrelated, but is this that song the girl sings when she locks herself inside a glass table??
Didn't like football until I watched Ted Lasso. Highly recommended!
Shut up captain America.

What does that even mean
It’s like your comment, 50% confusion, 40% deep thought, 100% love and compassion
5% love 50% pain
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name
It's a bot
Remember the name - fort minor
Just a reference to it I guess.
0% soccer, 90% football, 10% chaos, 100% friendship.
My turn to post this tomorrow
