Canada has problems too; our whole hemisphere is F'ed up!

i hardly ever read your posts and when i do you mention me :wub:

the only comment i have is football must include foot and ball. not be rugby for wimps in body armour who have to stop for a breather every 3 metres. no matter how big the field is, it's not football :snooty:

There is a kicker.

Regarding wimps.....our players are bigger and faster. No armor = no game due to multiple deaths.

We Americans like an eventful game and some scoring.

I rather have them stop for a breather to set up a meaningful play rather than run around aimlessly and possibley score a point sometime in the far off future. :dry:

a game that gets stopped every fifteen seconds is eventful in the same way as a bus journey

....a game that goes on and on with no events is like going to sleep on the bus. "Are We There Yet?"

Yeah I rank soccer right there with baseball. They both suck to watch however I love to play them both.

The one main sticking point in rugby is that when a player is tackled...that's not the end of the play. Weird. :blink:

The NFL has more finesse and strategy with play set-up. Seeing a play come together takes your breath away.

not wierd; 'ard.


i've only ever watched one game of american football and it's just not exhilerating as even a bad game of rugby. you get the rythem going and although the 'plays' arent as obvious as in a.football they are there and they win games.

Oh hell, there are bad NFL games.

I recall the one where it ended in a tie (most unusual) 7 - 7.

It was the worst waste of time I ever had.

I think rugby and soccer have more anarchy in it.
It's more scrappy play.

Meh, soccer is the most exciting sport in the world. Also the most popular so you're both wrong.

Soccer > American football, rugby and any other sport where grown men grope at each others midriffs.
