American football (football) can be said to be derived from rugby (rugby). The biggest difference is that American football has helmets, shoulder armors and protective gear, while British football does not. The standard ball for American football is It is much smaller than the English football, and the American football is more coherent during the game, and the American football has more pauses. Also, the American football has a lot of forward passes, while the English football passes more laterally and backwards, and the American football is almost invisible. American football players who pass the ball back are fat and thin, tall and short, of different sizes and shapes, while rugby players are all strong, almost the same size as you can think of. The obvious big difference is this, specific The details and rules are really different. They are completely two sports. If you are interested in learning about them, you can choose one you prefer to see first, and then you will understand why I said these are two sports~1. Player dress. American football players must wear protective gear (helmets, armor), while English football players do not wear protective gear (excluding braces). 2. Ground rules. American football can transmit the ball to the opponent's end zone once per attack (the ball carrier cannot pass forward when it crosses the tee line), and there is no limit to the number of transmissions to the back and sides; English football players cannot pass forward. Ball, the ball carrier can only pass the ball backwards, pass the ball forwards as a violation and offside. In terms of game look and feel, American football is closer to a turn-based game, while English football is more like a continuous game. In addition, rugby is not allowed to rush and block players who are not holding the ball. 3. Number of players. In American football, each team has three teams that perform different tasks: the offense comes on when one's own team has the ball; the defense comes on when the opposing team gains offense; the special team comes on in only a few special circumstances (punts, penalties, and kick-offs). ball). Both sides can only have 11 players on the field at any time; rugby can be divided into 15, 11, and 7-a-side matches in different leagues and competitions, but the rules of the game are basically the same as 15-a-side rugby. 4. Score and game time. American football scores 6 points for a touchdown, 1 additional point for a shot after a touchdown, 2 points for a two-point conversion for another touchdown, 3 points for a free-kick shot, and 2 points for the security "suicide ball" defense; 5 points, 2 points for an additional shot, 3 points for a penalty kick, a drop kick, and 3 points for a goal. American football is divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each. The first and second quarters are called the first half. The third and fourth quarters are called the second half. Rugby has two halves of 40 minutes for a total of 80 minutes, similar to football. Rules Rugby (Rugby). Rugby can be divided into two camps: Union Rugby and Union Rugby. Rugby in the general sense refers to Rugby Union. There are 3 referees in each game, 1 head referee is responsible for implementing the rules, mastering the game and timing; 2 sideline referees each manage a sideline and raise the flag to signal to the head referee when the ball or the ball holder goes out of bounds.This is not the case in American football. The players on the field are all fully armed, and the specific protective gear, including what kind of helmet, must be the kind of helmet that wears a face mask, otherwise, the bridge of the nose and the cheek bone may be broken. There are also shoulder and chest pads, which are a bit similar to the heart guards on the ancient battlefield, which can protect the shoulders of the athlete, prevent the ribs from being broken, and have elbow pads, elbow gloves, and waist protection. The crotch pads are used to protect the waist and buttocks of the athletes, as well as the crotch and leg braces to protect the thighs and knee joints. Finally, braces must be hung in the mouth. Otherwise, the game may be full of minions. . After listening to this protective gear, you know how intense American football is.
