Which Athletes have to be More Skilled Soccer/American Football players?

[Kris Silver]

The threads about skill, and for me Football (soccer) controlling a ball with your feet at high speed whilst running, dodging other players and passing/shooting successfully take some serious skill.

There's some truth in hand sports being easier to pick up coordination wise, but then you see some sick things in all games...depends if were including less physical sports like motor sports, golf, snooker and such...

Everything you have to do in American football, you do in football. Except throw and catch, unless you're the keeper.

The ball is much harder to control with your feet. Specially when you have to look up to see who's around.

Reggie Bush was incredible lastnight, He is a lucky bastard,
Going home to fuck the **** out of Kardashian aswell,
But I wouldnt compare him being able to catch a ball and dodge a few slow fat ****s to the skill that Lionel Messi or Christano Ronaldo would have

Messi is my boy, but every starting cornerback in the NFL is faster than him.

Nope. You're probably mistaking quickness and speed. Messi is a quick mother ****er but in terms of speed, he's slower then every starting cornerback.

Im sure there a few cornerbacks quicker then lionel but dont mean they are more skillful then him

[Mersey]

P4P accross all sports, there aren't many with a higher skill level than Messi.

I never said they were quicker and I never said they were more skillful.

I said faster. Faster means speed. Quickness and speed are two different things.

I agree. Probably Federer but honestly can't think of anyone else.
