If they were actually as similar as you think they are you would see more rugby players playing football because of the drastic difference in pay. There have been a couple rugby converts who made the nfl but most dont make it off the practice squad. The game play in the very limited exposure ive had to rugby seems more like soccer like than football.

Well I can’t answer that because I am a dumb american on most sports soccer majorly included and tennis. Like soccer how can you have a tie game and not finish it? Or tennis for example wtf i a love or whatever. Only thing I like about Tennis is they have this smartass messing with other players and it’s hilarious

I mean love is just tennis for zero.
You have a tie because the point was to play 90 minutes of football and see who was best. If the teams were evenly matched then so be it.
What’s the point of playing 90 minutes of football and then having a shootout. It doesn’t prove who’s better at football it proves who’s better at shootouts.

I don’t mean any remotely sarcasm in this statement. But that is the damn finest explanation for sports that I got in my life. Jesus I think I got a headache . Thank you so much. Much love to you and yours and have a happy 4th.

Dude tennis has a huge following here. Its prolly why pickleball is the fastest growing sport right now. Its basically tennis for the less athletic.
