New York Jets Teach Portuguese Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo How to Play American Football - Polidicks

[quote=ESPN] The 2014 World Cup in Brazil starts Thursday. To warm up, Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portugal national team have been training at Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, the home of -- you guessed it -- the New York Jets. And while most of the action is focused on the European version of football, Ronaldo and his teammates took some time to try out the American one Monday. The Jets -- namely wide receiver David Nelson -- even taught the superstar how to throw, sort of. (The Jets apparently didn't hold the fact that Portugal shares a group with the U.S. against the visitors.)

I'm sure that when they first met David Nelson said "You're playing football right?" and Ronaldo said "Yeah, in the group of death" then Nelson said "Welcome to my world".

Having seen football and played American football, I would imagine they would explode/shatter on impact

If "soccer" is the term for the game in the USA, then how do you call soccer players there? Sorccerers?

Americans should come to Europe to learn how the real game is played (rugby)

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;45074387]Americans should come to Europe to learn how the real game is played (rugby)[/QUOTE] No thanks, I would rather appreciate both games as their own sports.

I don't understand why you guys all have to be so confrontational about sports. Can't different countries just practice and play their games without being elitist about other national pastimes? I mean just don't be a dick about it.
