Rugby beats all other sports, it's like American football for people with balls.

It is called "Fussball"... the game where England loses the penalty shots, the dutch spit like lamas, the italians have a degree in actors school for dramatic pretending of being fouled and where germany should always be world champion...

nobody is talking about this american "sport"... Fussball pwns!

- if player A is behind the punter before the punter kicks, player A can take the ball back for his team...
- the kickoff must be 10 yards or more
- you have to wear a certain number to receive a pass for the QB at offense, by purpose or not (example : O-line guy receive a pass in his back, penalty to him even though he didnt see the ball coming...) At at least it doesnt apply to fumbles...

Weird subjective rules FTL
Not sure about rule #1
Rule #2  This is because if it wasn't 10 yards, the kicking team would just kick it 2 yards and the receiving team would have no chance to get the ball.
Rule #3  This is because there are not enough backs to defend the would-be receivers.  Again, this is to give the defense a chance at doing what they are supposed to do.

Ignorance FTL

I'm sure there are some soccer rules that don't seem to make sense that have an actual meaning behind them.

I think you need to go to China

Chinese invented the game
Yeah true that the Chinese amongst many other nations were kicking a 'sphere' around, such as a pigs bladder or whatever.  However the English did invent the modern day game as we know it today, including the rules and the introduction of referees and linesmen, and when we did invent it we called it 'Football'.

Damn this debate is getting old again.  As some other smart poster that has some brains said the two sports have the same name for the same reason.  They are both played on foot and not horseback.  American football was already a game when soccor came here so they couldn't have the same name.
   American Football and European Football (Soccer) are in no way comparable other than name.  In Soccer hitting and tackling is forbidden and is a foul.  In American Football hitting and tackling are necessary to even play the game.
   As much as I expect from you Europeans, go ahead and flame away at anything American, were used to it from all of you.

soccer. the goalie still uses his hands and the ball can be played with the head, knees, chest etc by every other player.
