First does soccer help you lose weight in the legs and get rid of love handles? If so how fast?
Also if you don’t kick high but far what is a good way to play?

it doesn’t make you lose weight in your legs but it’ll build muscle.but i’m not sure about the love handles.if you work hard and train properly you’ll lose the weight and gain the muscle faster.if you kick the ball hard it’ll be good to play defense on the left or right because you’ll be able to send the middles down the line.

Football….not Soccer
Jul 30, 2006 | 12:30PM | report this FIFA – Federation of International Football Association.

I believe there is no such term in FIFA referring to ‘soccer’ as the name of the game. The worlds’ game known by all of its 6 billion people is Football, except about 350 million or so. Last time I checked a dictionary, “Foot” meant two organs of the body we walk with and by simple definition it is a game we play with foot and a ball. Please do not use your hands and a ball and call it a football.

I hear people talking about FIFA and soccer in the same sentence. Do those people listen to themselves? In the same sentece they are calling the game ‘Football’ and ‘soccer’; it might be hard to believe but those same people might be going to some prestigious schools as MIT, Harvard (yes, these schools have a football team, the one where one throws the ball with hand) or even some highly respected political figures of the society. And forget about the new ignorant generation of people, I will not be surprised if someone tells me that they didn’t even know that the games actual name is ‘Football’ and not soccer.

Nothing to take away from Fox Sports, I really appreciate all the changes and improvements they have done over the last few years in terms of Football coverage on TV, but their television channel is also called FSC (Fox Soccer Channel). And on TV I also have heard the term ‘soccer’ in same sentence with FIFA, not to mention saying soccer all the time.

I know, someone might argue that in America we call it soccer because we already have a game called Football. First, please go back to the first paragraph. Second, if a game of that name already exists, why steal the name or change it to suit better for yourself. Who knows? It’s like World Series baseball where we don’t invite the rest of the world, not even our neighbors. It’s like NBA World Champions, without the rest of the world. Not to mention, when we go to world level, we don’t even win in those categories anymore. It’s like a school/college professor will take/cut points because i wrote “The colour of my shirt is blue” (do you see what’s wrong/right here 🙂 ).

I know I may not change the way people think and call this game Football instead of soccer. It is not an alternate name, it is a made up name to cover up the real name of the game.

We watch this game, we play this game, we love this game. This game is called Football….not Soccer.

Answer by E C
yes because it requires a lot of running. you shouldn’t lose weight in your legs because you build up leg muscles. but those love handles should go away unless you just walk around and do nothing. How fast depends on how much activity you get in… the more you play the faster you become fit. If you can kick far (but not high? lol) then you should play in the midfield.

Answer by tyler
it will make you lose weight every where.. including ur legs.. but then will build muscle in ur legs. and as for love handles.. sry i dont know what those are. and if you can kick far, that could any postion it depends on a lot of things

Answer by Colombianito86
You might lose weight, but you might gain muscle also, especially in the legs. If you dont kick high but far AND fast, you might be a good forward. But it also depends how tall you are…

good luck

Colombia is passion
