And I forgot to mention on the video but even as a European I am 100% neutral judge here! I hate soccer and have never tried American football so I don't have opinion in either direction :D If you ask me the best and only ball sport is underwater rugby. I played that something like 10 years, nothing beats wrestling in speedos on bottom of the swimming pool!

@Antelieris1 11 ай бұрын

That's not actually true. The original game of "football" is a medieval game that was brought back in the 1800s with a new set of rules called "association football" rules. This would eventually evolve to "assoccer" and then again to "soccer." Rugby, which had a similar name evolution, was a different ruleset of the original "football" game that came from the Rugby Boarding school, and came out a bit after association football did. It was called "rugby football" rules, then evolved to "rugger football," and finally to just "rugby." Meanwhile, in America, a new ruleset was created based on both the association football and rugby football ruleset. The official name of American football is "gridiron football." These aren't the only rulesets that exist for the larger series of games that is football, but they are the ones that are most relevant to the topic at hand. There's a Wikipedia page that lists all the different rulesets and sub-rulesets of football, if you wish to look up more information. The reason Americans call soccer football "soccer" and the British call it "football" is because the British evolved the word and then decided "soccer" was too Americanized and opted to swap back to "football."

I think soccer-football is the better sport. 1. You don't break your neck or kill your brain. That's always a plus. 2. You don't need a full suit of armor, just a ball. Nice low budget game anyone can play. 3. You don't need to measure out yard lines on the field or put up 20 foot tall goal posts. 4. The name football makes sense. It's a ball you can only move with your feet. American football should be called carryball, since you carry it to the end zone.

Rugby is the american football for real manly man. The same violence, no armor.

@Antelieris1 11 ай бұрын

Point four is wrong. the games aren't called "football" because you kick the ball or anything, it's because they're all rulesets based on a medieval game that was called "football." In the 1800s, the british created a set of rules based on reviving this ancient game of football, and called it "association football rules." Likewise, Rugby boarding school created their own ruleset that they called "rugby football rules." Years later, the Americans created a ruleset based on both soccer and rugby called "gridiron football rules." I don't know why people forgot that American football is called "gridiron," but the fact is, all these sports are football, and American football should be called "gridiron" while people need to stop being so resistant to calling soccer football "soccer."

Your shoe was leaning to the left, at least after the first press. So the parts on the left side (back) were pressing harder then the right. Like how a 100 pound woman in high heels can poke a hole in the ground, while a 200 pound man in flat shoes cannot.

With the foot ball first crus the lacing was supported by the top plate on the 2nd crush it was fully exposed the 3rd crus was an anomalous result. It should have let go at the laces but let lose at the end. This says to me that there was a flaw in the 3rd crushed foot ball The soccer bal was as expected it let loose around the same and the difference was the hard rubber cleats causing number 2 to let loose a little lower do to concentrated force from the cleats.
