Yep Wayne Rooney although hated is an extreamly good player in my eyes as obviously is Ronaldo. Rooney does the job for his team and although he is seen as a thug he has quality. Ronaldo's skills are breathe taking but he doesnt understand the meaning of tracking back. Steven Gerrard for me is the complete player. Commited Strong Athletic Pacey good defensivly, the lsit goes on.

 

Gerrard is a good player, but it pisses me off that he dosent allways seem to make as much effort for England

i support Flamengo, i'm brazilian!

 

and i do believe Kaka is a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo (Ronaldo is a brazilian player that plays in Corinthians now, i guess you guys remember him ;D)

Alexis Sanchez is going to ManU, believe ;)

Oh, and someone said something about the rankings, I think people dont believe the US is actually better than Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and all south america except Argentina and Brazil.

Yeh he does underperform for England. But under Sven GE, Steve Mclown and Fabio  He has been played on the left or right wing. I still havent worked out why you dont play your best midfielder in his worst midfield position. I mean common he could dump Barry who is left footed out there. Or even Lampard. He performs far worse for England than Gerrard does and yet he gets to "choose" his position!

In England football is a major part in peoples lives.

In USA religion is a major part of peoples live.

I'ts comical

Actually, I'd probably rank the NFL above religion in this country. It's hard to find a place that doesn't center around the sport from August-January.

 

So your saying more people nationally watch/spectate whatever a NFL match every week than go to a place of worship?  I find that hard to believe. 

In England a programme called Match of the day attracts 5 million people every week.  so 5 million people out of 60million watch a specific football programme.

There are 60 million people in England? Wha? I don't understand your point...

Besides, the NFL is constructed entirely differently. Games are played on (mostly) two days of the week with multiple games occurring at once. Most people watch a local game, though Monday Night Football attracts some pretty huge numbers (too lazy to be bothered to go look right now).

And I know plenty of people who either reschedule their church time or skip it entirely for football (not including those who just don't give a shit about church in the first place). As for the numbers, I don't really care. But the NFL is huge here (Wisconsin just about shuts down when the Packers are on).

edit: Okay, I see what you're saying. Basically one out of twelve people in England watch a certain match once a week.

That is correct. But its a bit obscure because it is a programme on a saturday night that shows all the highlights of the matches 5 hours previous. Its still a football programme though. It just isnt a specific match.
