Didn't the merkins have some games here in the 80's, never really caught on though. We have two codes of rugby and the proper football to keep us interested, I suppose the kiddies might like it though as people in lots of padded armour must seem pretty "cool".
I remember that too.
Whatever next - Rounders at Lords? :unsure:

It will never catch on. We can't have a World Series that includes the rest of the World, or is that Baseball?:wacko:
The baseball world series excludes the rest of the world, does it not? :unsure:Quote:

my only complaint would be who's idea it was to send 2 second rate teams. I would have thought it better to send maybe the patriots and the colts :huh:
This is the Lounge. Anything goes.:)Quote:

Wee touch of the 'Billies' there.:) Is it starting to get hot down under?:rolleyes:
I watched a bit of it but it is hard to get into. I can see that it is all tactical like but 30 seconds of play followed by 2 minutes of faffing around is kind of dull. I like the up and at em of Rugby myself.
I thought new Wembly had a roof like the Millenium Stadium in Welsh Wales - was I mistaken? If there isn't a roof why did it take so long to build?
The roof only extends as far as the pitch, not actually over the pitch itself :frusty:Quote:

I suspect they'll still need to re-lay it every 3 months or something though :idunno:
It took so long to build because it was built by Australians.

I thought the early attempts looked upside down - that explains it then.Quote:
