Football Americano, as it is called sometimes, is similar to a teacher who is teaching you a subject, and during the test, he keeps stopping the test to correct you. It is a TEST !

Believe me, when head coaches in American football are talking to players during a timeout, it is not just one-way. They are in fact often collectively discussing their options. They have to, because again the game is so complex that they need to bounce ideas off one another.

So, are you of the opinion that during a school test, you and your teachers and the rest of your classmates should all cooperate to solve the problems on the test? That is foolish! Once the teaching is done, the coach should go to sleep, and let the students solve the problems.

Soccer is too foreign to Americans because they simply want to win, rather than enjoying the talent of the movements in this game. To me basketball without the 7 foot players and without the time out is similar to soccer. It is an art of movements and passes. However, America corrupted that game too by seeking giants for players, it made it that I cannot relate to these movements anymore. What do you guys think when you see the strongest men lifting cars, and the like, I say, that is not me!
