I accidentally caught part of a Premier English soccer game one day while I was surfing channels and I have to admit that it was unlike other soccer games I've watched in the past. It was definitely more aggressive play. The Brits were always driving hard to make goals rather than constantly passing back and forth amongst themselves.
I'll still take American football any day, but this wasn't hard to get into.

From what I understand, this is the big difference between the European style soccer and Latin American style. European is more physical and faster up and down the field, whereas, the Latin American game is more pass happy and getting pretty with the ball.

At least that's what I have been told...lol

I love World Cup soccer because they play their hearts out for their countries (and soccer has no commercials). US and Mexican soccer suck by comparison.
