no need to worry about ticking off any americans. Those that would be offended by someone questioning their football would be those that sit in their lazyboy chair, wearing their wifebeater with the BIG mustard stain on it, yelling at their wife..."Mari Jo.... DAMNIT WOMAN... go grab me another beer!!" But luckly those types of people have trouble operating something advanced like a PC, as opposed to their pick-em-up truck.

 

 

Im quite pleased to see the US get as far as they have.... But i will have to cheer on my Brazilian team to win it all... PITTY that Irl lost to spain... hell of a game though penalty kicks blow..... but hey you have to settle a match some how

Italy vs South Korea was one of the best matches I've seen in a long, long, long time... The last two minutes of regulation, after the South Korean goal, was great...

 

Yeah, that was sweet. :rolleyes:

ok first off, fellas, rugby is a pu ssy sport compared 2 "american" football. no, i'm no capitalist pig, but put warren sap up against heinrich freidisch or some european dude and that sorry sap's gonna get jacked up every hole.

 

hey- why are we counting germany out? my prediction:

 

worldcup final: germany vs. brazil

 

i'm an english fan cuz they're soo goddamn exciting to watch, but i'm afraid the brazilian arsenal is too much for them- at least for worldcup 2002.

 

and about the italy game- **** that ref from ECUADOR!!! yo did anyone else notice total bs calls by the refs particularly in this world cup?! italy's getting bashed by all these bad calls. i seriously hope the mafia or something slaughters the ref.

 

as much as i am an american, beating mexico is one thing, but playing GERMANy is a whole nother ballgame. US will lose to alemain

ROTF!!!1

 

BTW, I'm an American whose now a naturalized Canadian. I play soccer at lunch twice a week and support Arsenal. :eek:

 

I agree--the Korea-Italy match was outstanding, but could you lot on Bloor Street KEEP THE CELEBRATIONS DOWN A TOUCH? ;)

 

I really hope England wins, but fear the chain of upsets has come to an end. And Germany will crush the States. Any team I root for gets crushed in the end, except the Red Wings 3 times :D

As for Rugby v American Football - there is a lot less padding in rugby, and they are in general a lot fitter, as they do more than just move 2 feet and shove. Personally an Aussie Rules fan and player here....

 

As for Italy and the Refs, I think it is about time they lifted the standard of refereeing so that the amount of diving for fouls is irradicated. Italy is as bad as any other professional side when it comes to falling to non existent contact. There needs to be some serious reffing to get these supposed football "superpowers" away from their continual diving, which is paramount to cheating. Isn't it cheating to get an umpire to give a free kick/penalty when there is no actual contact....

 

As for another topic, Jao Pinto from Portugal sounds like he is in big trouble after punching the ref..........

Look, go play Rugby, then get your 60 pounds of padding and play the same game for 6 seconds. Stop. Repeat. Ohhhh, American football, so dammed hard.

 

Care to explain why the worst I get when playing American football is bruses, yet I've broken my nose 6 times, four of my ribs and my arm twice at Rugby? Even with all that I still don't get classed as having hurt mysef 'properly' in Rugby.

 

By the way whitedragon, we are all related to the Scottish in the UK. As well as the Irish and the Welsh. So no, not too bothered about having killed some of your very distant relations. We have all killed each other at some stage, just be sure you don't think braveheart actually happed. The only way you get a comment is if you are in a Clan. I'm Clan McTavish. Your American. I'm English. Drop it.

It's odd. People outside of the US just dont get American Football or Baseball. The concept s fine. It all looks flashy and nice, but we would rather go watch something else. Perhaps it's just because we are so poor at playing it.

 

Ah well. I'm off to invent MONKEYBALL tm. It'll be great.

It's kinda like Cricket to us, not very common and we aren't at all good.

 

Technically I'd rather play hockey anyways. Rugby is what I do when the Ice melts.
