American Football or Real Football the Scientists Have It Right

Thats part of what makes it so exciting

 

Absoulutly! One gets used to scoring in other sports like basketball, so that unless the game is close, it looses its edge. But in soccer its so exciting to see a goal made, especially when it is a well executed goal.

 

The English created the language, we Americans perfected it.
The Europeans created football, we Americans perfected it.

Any questions?

 

The English created the language, we Americans corrupted it.
The English created football, we Americans corrupted it.

Any questions?

 

C4K, I think we're going to get along.

 

Probably better than I do with my American friends .

 

The English created football, the Americans corrupted it, and the South Americans perfected it.

 

Don't make me mention 1966..... We have just had a bad run since then.

 

World Cup 2006 - "The Yanks are Coming!"

 

They are in a tough group though. If they can win and move to the second round they will surely have proven that the USA is a force to be reconked with and not the laughing stock of FIFA.

But alas 2006 will be Argentina's 3 cup victory. Viva Argentina!!

 

Yanks win the World Cup? Well, we know strange things would happen in the last days but come on...

 

Yeah, the chance is about the same as Northern Ireland beating England in the footie .

 

It's an agreement we have with them. Every 88 years we let NI beat us. Otherwise they would get discouraged and stop playing.

You witnessed an historic even there. It will be your grand children that see the next time NI beat England...

American football is great. Soccer is a sport where players are too sissy to hit, block and tackle each other.

 

No, Rubgy is great. American Football is where they run around in pillows and hard harts because they are "too sissy to hit, block and tackle each other."

 

Both sports have their merits. I am amazed at the body armour American footballers require to play their game.

Rugby is indeed an amazing sport.

 

To be honest, I think I prefer American Football, but I am warming to Rugby. As I said before, Dallas Cowboys are my team.

 

And I thought I was starting to like you mnw

 

Soccer is one of the most dull sports on the planet. I rate it's excitement along the lines of sumo wrestling.

 

Hey, sumo is one of the fastest growing sports at the moment... Just held the World Championships in Las Vegas.

Sorry to let you down c4k.
