American football is generally compared with European football. The difference between the two is greatly, but the same use of title can confuse others. The difference between American and European football is simple by definition. Football is used mostly with the hands to control the ball, and the European football is what most people call Soccer. In soccer, you kick the ball and they not allowed using their hands at all. By definition, football is when 11 players on a rectangular field 100 yards long. Teams try to steal/keep possession of the ball and move across the field to the other teams goal line by running a number of plays. European football or soccer is a game played with a round ball (not diamond shaped like American football).
Again, two teams of eleven players use themselves to control the ball to pass the oppositions goal line. Soccer is played dominantly with the feet, but can be controlled by other body parts like knees, chest, and head. They can use any part of their body by their arms and hands. If they do use the hands, a foul is called the other team gets control of the situation. They only who find themselves allowed to use their hands are the goalkeepers.
Many soccer games are played on football fields. They are set up exactly the same way except instead of having a huge goal post, they use two goal nets (much like hockey). The games are in quarters that are times. There are four quarters per game . 5 time. Usually there are only just a few minutes pauses between quarters and the half time is much longer. Soccer games really don't take as much time as soccer, as there are fewer rules to soccer.
Football is a complicated sport that has flags and penalties for, what seems everything. In soccer, penalties are called but mostly for being offsides or out of bounds. Sportsmanship is a problem in both sports. The two sports are very competitive and can be frustrating to the players. While you are not allowed to tackle a player purposely in soccer, some players do tend to collide and when they do, they hit hard.
Soccer and football are much alike in some aspects, but are completely different in others. Either way your perception, the two sports are just as aggressive and competitive and is normally extremely enjoyable to watch and play.

Free Movies Online NOW
Renting movies was once kind of a hassle. You must navigate to the store and try and get everyone to agree on which movie to rent before getting to actually watch the movie. Then, when you find yourself finished make sure you get the movies back on time to avoid those dreadful late fees. Now there are easier ways to get your movies, right from home.
Satellite TV is among the great methods for you to get movies at home. Almost every satellite TV package comes with a minumum of one movie channel. You usually have a choice between HBO, Cinemax, Starz, or Showtime. The other nice thing is that now you get many channel of movies with each package. The quantity of channels varies depending on which you choose. For example with Starz you get eight channels and Cinemax you get five.
You usually get to choose which one of these simple movie channels you desire to get at your house. Depending on how many movies you want to watch you might want to get more than one of these brilliant movies channels. Most satellite packages will help you to add more channels; of course you'll have to pay more.
Another advantages to satellite TV are that you could get parental controls as well. It is a great idea since not every movie is appropriate for every age. If a number of channels you do not need your children watching you can just block it. This is a simple way for parents to make certain their children are not getting access to and watching inappropriate shows.
If you cant find any movie you would want to watch on your movie channels there is still hope. Don't run to the movie rental store quite yet. As well as your movie channels you should have access to Cpv channels. These are more movie channels to purchase even more movies to watch. With these channels you need to pay to rent the movie, but it's just added to your bill.
Satellite TV makes it much easier that you should sit down and watch a movie. You don't need to demand movie rental store and hope they have the movie or movies you are interested in in stock, and you won't need to worry about late fees. That can be done everything from the comfort of your house. You could have to pay some extra for the movie channels or satellite TV, but it's not necessary to pay for gas and expensive late fees.
You get the movies you want when you need them. Even though you didn't watch lots of movies before, you might find yourself enjoying them more when you have movie channels. It is far more easy to watch a movie when all you should do is flip through the channels. Often there is something that you should watch that you'll enjoy for those who have satellite TV.

UPDATE 2-NetEase bullish on H2 games; misses Q2 profit - Game Shows
* Q2 net profit $71.6 mln versus $76.6 mln estimate
* Confirms imminent release of key game expansion pack
* Gives positive outlook for online games in H2
* Shares rise in after-hours
(Adds quotes, details, adds dateline)

SHANGHAI/NEW YORK, Aug 19 (Reuters) - China's No.3 online
game operator NetEase.com (NTES.O) flagged the release of
sequels to its hit games, helping boost its shares though the
company's quarterly profit missed analysts' forecasts.
NetEase said it expects to release at least four expansion
packs for its self-developed hit titles in the second half of
the year as well as the expansion pack to Activision Blizzard's
(ATVI.O) blockbuster game "World of Warcraft".
China is the world's largest Internet market with more than
420 million web surfers. However, its red-hot online games
segment has faced strong headwinds this year on a lack of new
titles and an increasingly competitive environment.
Earlier this month, China's Ministry of Culture said it had
approved NetEase's release of an expansion pack to the "World
of Warcraft" game in China, which analysts hope will energize
the company's earnings in the fourth quarter.
"I think the outlook is good, the World of Warcraft will
have a good quarter and then seems like some of their existing
games will continue to grow,"said Wallace Cheung, an analyst
with Credit Suisse.
"It looks like profitability will improve in the next two
quarters at least."
NetEase said it is looking to release the game as soon as
possible after completing some technical procedures.
For the second quarter, NetEase net profit rose 4.5 percent
to $71.6 million, or 55 cents per ADS, from $68.5 million, or
53 cents per ADS a year ago.
This missed analysts' estimates of $76.6 million or 58.9
cents per ADS on a fully reported basis, according to Thomson
Reuters I/B/E/S.
"In the third quarter and fourth quarter this year we will
be expecting a much more satisfactory or a more positive
results delivery in terms of the gaming revenues," Onward Choi,
NetEase's acting chief financial officer told investors in a
call.
NetEase shares rose 1.37 percent to $37.00 in after-hours
U.S. trade after closing 1.8 percent lower in regular trading.
The company said quarterly revenue came in at $198.6
million, beating the consensus forecast of $184.96 million,
according to 12 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Netease competes with Changyou.com (CYOU.O), Shanda Games
(GAME.O), Perfect World (PWRD.O) and Tencent Holdings (0700.HK)
in China's increasingly crowded and competitive gaming
landscape.
NetEase operates some of China's most popular online games,
including self-developed martial arts game Fantasy Westward
Journey.

Top UK comedy award goes to English comic - Comedy
EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Britain's top annual comedy prize, the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award, went to England's Russell Kane at an Edinburgh Fringe festival ceremony on the weekend for his show "Smokescreens and Castles."
The award for best comedy newcomer on the Fringe was won by 31-year-old London comedienne Roison Conaty, while the Spirit of the Fringe award went to 20-year-old American Bo Burnham, who has accumulated an audience of millions from his YouTube internet comedy broadcasts from his Boston bedroom.
Awards' producer Nica Burns said Kane, 30, from Westcliffe-on-Sea in Essex, "takes the audience by storm with his boundless energy and enthusiasm."
In his new show he "explores self, family, and the consequences of his Dad buying their council flat" in the apartment block nicknamed The Castle. The Sunday Times described the show as "bold, defiant...Shot through with vulnerability."
Conaty, from Camden in north London, told Reuters her experience on this year's Fringe had been "life changing in terms of doing a show every day ... I've learned so much."
She made her debut solo in the show "Hero, Warrior, Fireman, Liar."
The tall, mop-haired Burnham, who started his YouTube comedy exploits four years ago, was also short-listed for the best comedy award.
The awards were announced by star comedian Al Murray, who won the best comedy prize in 1999, and last year's winner Tim Key. Burns said the judging panel had seen 418 shows and attended nearly 1,200 performances over the past three weeks.
The Fringe, the world's largest annual showing of the arts, has fostered a galaxy of stars of theater, film and comedy since its inception alongside the city's International Festival in 1947.
