When it comes to American football, most people s misconceptions are really too big

American football and rugby can be distinguished in the following ways: - Looking at the outfit: American football players wear armor and helmets, while rugby players do not wear protective gear.

Watch time: American football game is 60 minutes, divided into 4 quarters, each quarter is 15 minutes; Rugby time is close to soccer, with a total of 80 minutes and a half of 40 minutes - number of people to watch: 11 players per team are allowed on the field at the same time in American football; Each team in the English has 15 players playing on the field - look at the direction of the pass:

In American football, the ball keeps moving forward most of the time (but not absolutely); English games require players not to pass the ball directly forward, must pass to teammates in the back position, otherwise it is considered offside - see the score: American football has three ways to score, namely touchdown score, free kick score and safety score, touchdown score 6 points, free kick shot score 3 points, safety score 2 points; There are only two ways to score in rugby – a touchdown and a shot. Five points are awarded for a touchdown, and two points are awarded for an additional shot after the score is scored, but three points are awarded for a penalty shot received for a foul on one side and a landing kick in the game.

In addition, in American football, the side that completes the touchdown score can choose 1 or 2 additional points, if you choose to complete another touchdown, you can get 2 additional points, and you can only get 1 additional point for shooting a free kick The biggest difference between Australian Rules Football and American Football is that the American quarterback can only touch the ball alone (on the same team) after dividing the ball, and the Australian quarterback can pass non-stop after the team player can pass non-stop.

The wind blows and blows away, and the water under the lake is like the sky.

Rugby is number one in the United States. As we all know, in the United States, the most popular event is the "Super Bowl" of football, many people are fascinated by this sport, in 2004, the Rockets' star Steve Francis, in order to go to the Super Bowl, did not hesitate to absent time to watch the game, angry head coach Van Gundy punished him with a ban.

This shows the popularity of football in the United States, which is the most popular sport in the United States and the first of the four major professional sports in North America.

1. The development time is relatively short. The NFL has only been the number one sport in the United States in recent decades, and until then it had been dominated by the MBL, and baseball is still a big deal. Baseball has not yet reached global popularity, and can only affect Japan, South Korea, and Central America.

and other countries, not to mention American football.

2. American football is only a branch of rugby, in addition to the United States, there are also English, Canadian, and Australian football, in those countries where there is a rugby mass base, it is obvious that rugby is more popular, and American football is difficult to compete with.

3. The rules of American football are too complicated, and the threshold for entering the pit is too high. Football, basketball, volleyball.

These sports, even for the layman, can generally understand the basic rules as long as they have watched two games; American football is different, what is the number of advancing yards, three attacks, offensive and defensive conversions, a novice may not be able to understand 10 games, and the players are still wearing helmets, and they can't even look at their faces, so they are basically directly discouraged, which is similar to baseball and cricket.

It's pretty much the same, so it's not popular.

4. The cost of participation is too high. American football is intensely colliding, dangerous, and expensive, and has a limited number of participants, not to mention other countries. If a sport cannot be participated by the whole people, it is destined to be a niche sport, and ice hockey is no different.

5. The NFL season is too short and there are too few games. The five major leagues of European football.

A team approaches 50 games a season in the NBA regular season.

With 82 games, MLB has more than 140 games a year, compared to the NFL with regular season and playoffs in a year.

With only 20 games, there are so few games that it can't compete with other sports in the international broadcast market, which is an important reason why the NFL can't promote it globally like the NBA. The NFL has actually wanted to increase the number of games over the years, but the players' union has not done it, and the two sides have never been able to get along, and there is no way.

To sum up, it is still very early for American football to become popular all over the world.

This is because rugby is a relatively dangerous sport, and in the process of this sport may cause injuries, other countries feel that this sport is more harmful to themselves, so it is not popular.

The sport is very violent, and sometimes it can hurt the athlete's physical condition, and in severe cases, it can cause brain damage.

The sport is very violent, and if you do it for a long time, it can lead to brain damage.

Rugby has a high cost and requires equipment and equipment, so each team buys a full set of uniforms, helmets, and pads.

Gloves are a lot of money. There are many players playing in football, and the offensive, defensive, and special teams are different people, such as the college football team, which has 82 scholarship players. Unlike football, a ball and two bricks can be used as a goal, and children from poor families can also play.

American football.

The rules are complex, which is a threshold for both the spectators and the players. Soccer and basketball also have a lot of rules, but soccer and basketball have a very, very simple basic rule and goal of the game, which is to get the ball into the goal, the basket. Rugby is different, it takes time to understand, and when you play the game, you can't figure out the rules, and you will be messed up.

If the audience doesn't know the rules, they can't understand what the people on the pitch are doing.

Rugby vs player physicality.

The requirements are high, and the requirements are different for each location. Outfielders are required to be fast, responsive, feel good and be able to catch the ball. Running requires speed, strength and the ability to turn sharply, in disguise. Linemen, on the other hand, require physical fitness. Quarterback.

You must be nimble and pass the ball accurately. Playing rugby requires the cooperation of the team, and it is not easy to succeed in a tactic if only one in 11 people does not complete the action according to the tactical requirements. The United States has good material selection conditions, but it is difficult for other countries to do it.

This point of football does not require so much for the innate conditions of players, and Messi can still become famous even if he is not tall and thin. You can't play football because if you're a quarterback who's not more than 6'2 tall, you can't play because you're blocked by the opponent's tall defense when you're passing, and you can't see the receiver in front of you.

What impresses American football more than football and basketball is its need for a team, a Maradona.

Can sweep the world, one Jordan.

You can dominate the field, but rugby, it really can't. You are an offensive player, and you can no longer shoulder the defensive team, the special service team.

Even the tee shot group, the return attack group. Also, a stadium is so big, so many people, one person, what can be guarded against.

American football is violent, fiercely confrontational, clear and obvious tactical coordination, clear offensive and defensive transitions, and has the highest acceptance and the largest number of viewers among Americans, so it is known as the number one sport in the United States.

This is because rugby is particularly demanding on size, too much for exercise, and this sport is also particularly demanding on the terrain, so it is only popular in the United States.

It may be because this sport requires a relatively high height and was released relatively early in the United States.

To put it simply, first of all, the biggest difference between American and British style is whether or not to wear protective gear. With the addition of armor, the physical confrontation will be more intense. Secondly, the English style of play is more about running and coordination, which you can understand as a sport similar to football.

Most of the American style only has two kinds of passing games and running games, and most of them tend to be a direct pass from a quarterback under the cover of a teammate or give the ball to a half back or full back to run and attack. In this way, the intensity of the defense will be greatly increased, so that the pressure on the attacking side will be greater, and the intensity will naturally be higher. Although the English pass can be passed many times, it must be passed backwards, and because of this rule, the offensive and defensive physical strength is exhausted, and the confrontation is reduced.

Of course, every time the American offense goes down, although it will terminate the process of the game, there will be frequent substitutions after almost every down, so almost all the athletes on the field are fresh body, and the momentum is more sufficient!

The last point is that the training format is different.

The American position is distinct, the offensive and defensive players are different in terms of technique and size, they have a clear division of labor, each has its own duties, and compared with rugby, the size and technique of English players are much more blurred. Because of this, English players may be a little "mediocre" when they make technical moves, while American confrontations are much more prominent.

The above is my opinion on the differences between the two sports, there is no suspicion of bias, I also like rugby, but after watching it over the years, I still think it is not as fierce as the American style, not that rugby is not as good as the American style, the focus is different.

I have been playing British for more than 10 years, and in terms of intensity, it is British intense. This can be seen from the average number of physical duels per game of the players.

In terms of ornamentation, I think the British style is more ornamental, the American pause is too much, not coherent enough, and the British ruck attack can be more than 10 waves in a row.

If you are American, you can stop if you catch or hold it, and if you are pressed by the opponent in the British style, you will have teammates to help you continue to advance, keep moving forward, and fight more. If you want to play British, welcome, everyone play together.

American football is highly competitive and brutal, and in order to prevent injury, participating players should wear helmets, shoulder pads, elbow pads, hip pads, knee pads, thigh pads, hand guards, shin guards and other protective gear.

Rugby doesn't have any protective gear. From the side, it shows that the probability of injury in rugby players is less than that in the United States.

It's not interesting to talk nonsense, the two rules are different, there is no comparison, and there are Australian and Canadian styles.

American football combines strength, speed, bounce, skill, tactics, ever-improving rules, state-of-the-art broadcasting technology, comprehensive commercial coverage, and deep-rooted investment in public welfare, but it is difficult to explain the reason why Americans love him by simply exemplifying the charm of American football itself.

To explain to you from another perspective, a sport that has always been the most popular from elementary school, middle school, college, and society, and can bring the whole family and community to participate, and can bring people a strong sense of satisfaction and honor, and fully drive the development of athletes and teams (schools) in a positive direction, in the minds of Americans now, is no longer just a sport, but an integral part of society.

Think about it, you have been influenced by your surroundings since you were a child, and it is difficult not to be crazy not to be crazy about the fact that "rugby players are heroes, winning a ball game is the greatest honor, the most popular is rugby players, and being a member of the varsity rugby team is a glorious thing that even makes the whole community proud".
