you sire, are what we like to call an uninformed ignoramus, there are many golfers as good, and better than Tiger Woods as it's takes more than being able to hit the ball over 300yds to be good at golf,Quote:

Oh Proper Hoe you must come harder than that.
I did (in your mom) :lol: :D :lol: :lol:
just joshin' ;)
secondly, american "football" (which they use their hands in :huh: ) ARE wimps, they wear tons of padding, and run as fast as they can cos their scared of gettin tackled :P
and lastly, in real football they score goals, not points :P [/b][/quote]
There are golfers better than Tiger but he had one of the best runs in golf history.
He smashed at the Masters by I think 18 strokes and single handedly woke folks up to golf that paid it no mind (like myself).
And yes dipshit in football they are 'scared' of being tackled. The purpose is to NOT be tackled or injured. That's like telling a boxer to NOT duck.
Points, goals, big fucking deal.
In basketball every shot made from the field is a field goal but there also foul shots.
It's all points in my book. 1 to 0
You are now the mastaoflickingballsatoz ignoramus
Go play cricket, rugby, and football or maybe not mastageekonthecomputer
By the way does anyone from America (old enough) remember LT tackling Joe Theisman and breaking his leg. That shit bent backwards :(
In the US they highlight the puck on TVQuote:

If soccer sucks, explain me this:
While Pele was playing for Santos in the late 1960's, his team went to Nigeria to play a few friendly matches. The ongoing civil war in the country stopped just to see him play, and it continued again after his visit.
Care to mention another sport capable of this?
As I said, a great player can change it all:
Tiger Woods in golf- Most black folks couldn't give 2 shit about golf. But when a black man (or a black looking man) started whipping ass guess who started watching. And not just blacks but people in general who oblivious to golf.
Michael Jordan in basketball- All countries know about Michael Jordan. I hated basketball when I was younger until I saw him. Now I play basketball at least 3 times a week.
I've seen footage of Pele and he was amazing but......after seeing that I've also watched some soccer games and was bored to tears. <_<
I am a typical American in that I like scoring. Pele scored. I don't want to watch an arm wrestle for 30 minutes before someone gets put down. It wasn't your sport that stop the civil war; it was a great player playing your sport.
I saw LT break Theisman's leg on TV as it happened, I was reminded of Sesame Street oddly enough.
You know, "which one of these things doesn't belong?" Answer: A leg bent in that direction.
Interesting note:
Growing up his name was prounced "Thees-man", he changed the pronunciation to rhyme with Heisman (trophy) in college. Playing a little game of psychology.
American football without pads and helmets wouldn't last long. These men are 250 lbs moving at sprinters speed.Quote:

hear hear. American football is a version of rugby for wimps! :D
Imagine running at full speed across an open field, another player is running right at you full out, usually about 30 pounds heavier. The ball is coming at the midpoint. Your job is to put that guy out of your head and catch the ball. His job is to plant, leap and level you. Those guys are men.
It is the speed which separates the 2 sports. To compare the two as equal in regard to contact is naive.

Would'nt last long?
Then i recommend you watch Australian rules football
One or two might have head padding but thats about it besides the mouth guards.

EDIT: PS. I remember a few years back, Queensland and New South Wales played a State or Origin game in the States somewhere, more than 60,000 people watched. After the match they interviewed Americans coming out of the ground, and asked them what they thought of the game. The overwhelming response was disbelief at the pace of the game, and the fact that the action was non-stop. Most people commented on the lack of padding. The best remark, however, came from a guy who said it made Gridiron look like a John Denver concert!
BTW, the game was Rugby League, Queensland and New South Wales are states of Australia. (Yes, we have them too!)
:)
what do the yanks know about Football,oh let me think the only country that can have a world series with no other country's.the idea of guy's wearing all the padding in a game traditionaly called Rugby, Baseball,Called Rounders.Do not say anything about our national sport when you know nothing about it.up the Blades
Hey HillBillie_Jean and gayblade1234puk I said soccer sucks and I do know about the sport. I played it in school and just I like PLAYING baseball. However they both suck as entertainment. Yes you must have endurance but don't give me that shit about padding. "The guys are too big, the game is too fast, and the hits are much harder". And gayblade shut the fuck up about this "yank" shit. I didn't go insulting your highfilutin' brit ass or your country. I insulted soccer which ain't just your sport. I also insulted baseball which was an American invention.
Maybe we don't like certain sports because we are so far away so we invented our own and further insolated ourselves from the rest of the world. I'd say for the most part it worked. I believe we are the greatest country to live in (of course with many flaws). (not to get all nationalistic)
F**k off nationalist always the same with you usa people. Certainly not the greatest but the most aggrassive country (bit of topic now so i put mu favorite teamflag :P )Quote:

By the way gayblade69puk I never said we INVENTED football. READ READ.
And soccer and baseball still suck. I don't care whose 'national' sport it is.
Soccer may be fast paced but hell score more points then. Otherwise you are running back and forth with nary a point.
RE: Salaries
It's showbusiness. The game makes so much cash from TV deals and turnstyles that the money's there so why not go to the people who draw the crowds/viewers.
Compare it to movies - they make a lot of money based on the leading stars so they invest money to sign them up. It's the same for football - you invest the money on good players then you get more TV money and gate reciepts when you go up a division / enter the champions league / gain more fans (Dosn't always work e.g. Leeds).
It seems that as a business the logical flow of the money should be towards the assets - the players. If they didn't get it the chairmen would just reap it all in (we wouldn't get reduced ticket pricing or TV subscriptions as there is a demand to watch it - thankyou Euro '96).
It just happens to be an occupation where talent pays very well.
there is nothing wrong with football. a great game of skill and technique. anyone could play stupid cricket, bowl bowls and play basketball. But like all sports too much money is paid to players. As far as i go if they are 10 to 40k a week, and they not play that week, why the hell pay them. they would not miss one weeks wages. some don't even merit their wages. Money ruins every game and no player is worth 40k plus a week. no matter how good they are. they could pay me 1k a week and i would play no problem
Indeed there are tons of bums in the NBA making millions a year.
But when you look at soccer, the one thing good about it is that just about anyone can play it. Who can't kick a ball or run. Granted there those that are more skillful than others (off the elbow,off the knee,off the head) but the basics of the game are easy to pick up on.
Now basketball is a whole other apple. Most of the folk that don't like can't play it.
From the start without any instruction I could run and kick a ball in soccer.
But with basketball, one can't just pick up dribbling or shooting a ball into a hole not that much bigger than the ball itself. This is why basketball is amazing. When a player like Allen Iverson comes down court with a man guarding him closely and he pulls up and shoots a jumper behind the 3 point line and it swishes (nothing but net), there's is nothing for soccer to offer.
Not only that, in basketball, that same 'amazingness' happens over and over.
You see these amazing moves and dunks and it's like entertainment overload.
In the FIBA competition Iverson scored 7 3-pointers in one quarter including a buzzer beater!! :D (alot of players can't score 20 points in a whole game)
What can soccer show me.
I'd love to see a contempory consistant Pele-like player with a good team just demolishing the other team but the way the game is structured it probably won't happen for awhile. Winning 1 to 0 or even 3 to 2 is not enough for me.
yep agree soccer sux boring as hell
basketball sux even more get a ball chuck in in the hoop get paud 451 million thats the way what a life!!
What sports DO you like Adster?
all i say is name a sport without a ball or balls in it. look at what got a ball in it.
football(soccer), tennis, american football, rugby, hockey, baseball,basketball, cricket and bowls. My favourites are football, then american football.
a few that not involve a ball.
athletics, badminton, archery, skiing, ice hockey. Must admit the latter is kind of cool at times to watch.
most motorsport doesn't involve ballsQuote:

rare i watch motorsport, but you got one there. even swimming another.
horseracing/showjumping
darts (depending on definition of sport)
wrestling
martial arts
i not know how i not think of wrestling because i watch it all the time, but it not the same in a way without stone cold wrestling. but at least the undertaker is still going.
whoopsy, i meant real wrestlingQuote:

Watch a whole game of soccer and the ending score might be 0 to 1.
What a shit game.
What highlights are there?
Hey look as he scores this one goal and uhhhh....sorry folks no more highlights.
Shrink the field or something. Put some points up. Speed the game up. Do something because I try to like all sports but DAMN.
:lol: i like girls soccer ;) jiggly ball
yes i understand by what you mean in real wrestling. some of it is fake, and you can tell. but i still like watching it all the same. i think the only real wrestling about now you mainly see at the olympics, and as kurt would say, it true, it damn true. ha ha, and that the bottom line because i just said so
if by 'some' you mean 'all' then you're correctQuote:
Originally posted by The Horror fanatic@26 September 2003 - 03:45

not all of it is fake. do you call the actual supplexing and so on fake, because you see that in the olympics. Of course at least 50 percent of it is fake. Sometimes it is really pathetic how some do lose. and you are sat thinking god any other time he would kick out of that move.
no, more like "god, why am i watching such tripe"?Quote:

well it plain to see you not like it all, but i have watched it ever since the old days. i think now it is more like entertainment than wrestling, hence why the WWE. some don't like it and some do. but although i watch it, it can not beat what i watch most. i watch horror movies and football(soccer) most
