Soccer is when you like kicking a round (like this: o ) ball around, rugby, american football and such is when you like to kick a ball that looks like it's been raped (like this () ) and to lay on top of other men, touching eachother and shouting. A bit gay if you ask me :P

Lol, actually not. I played soccer before, but quited - no, not because it was too gay. No, not because it was too few gay activities. I just like the sport Data better (yes, it is true, it is a sport. I run 3000m in 2 minutes less now compared to when I played soccer :) ).
I still think soccer is cooler though, can't help it, it might be because I'm used to it.

A bit homophobic are we? I still don't see what sexual preference has to do with soccer.

Only sport i really enjoy wathcing and playing is Football (or soccer for you americans :)). Baseball is boring to both watch and play, if you stand in the back you just stand there, becuase most people can barely hit the ball ( including me ) , and do nothing. I usually just go lay down and chill. lol. Americas football is pretty fun to watch, but i never played it myself. Hockey is imo shit (sorry for all you hardcore hockey fans :(). Its only fun to see people being smashed against the side. :) Also for the fact i cant iceskate for shit, i fell once, hard, on my chin, i didnt feel much, only a bit dizzy, and thought i was ok, so i just go on with 'iceskating', more like sliding left and right, and all people kept staring at me, and im like wth are you all looking at, turns out theer was a huge cut in my chin and my chin and coat was all bloody... No more iceskating for me, the next 10 years. :D

Well anyway, in short, i cant wait for the football World Cup. ;)

Nah, I'm not, but I can't find a good arguement why not. I'm just not, gay people are cute. Actually, my ex had some kind of a relationship with a woman right after she dated me. ;)

So you are saying you can run 2 miles in 2 minutes. If that's the case you have the new world record. :P

^ Willing to bet thats an extra zero.

I prefer to watch American soccer, but prefer to play American football. Though I don't really enjoy either of them, tennis is my thing.

Dunno really, but I do find it quite fascinating :P
Anyway, both American Football and Rugby sounds fascinating, itīd be cool to try out sometime, though I do think Iīll like soccer better.

So you are saying you can run 2 miles in 2 minutes. If that's the case you have the new world record.

Well, what I really meant was that I used to play football, and then ran 3000m in 13-15 minutes, then I switched to just sitting in front of my computer, and now I can do it in 11,5 minutes ;)

Thats more realistic, 3000m is about 1.8/9 miles. Last time I tried, ran/walked for 45min and went about 3.5miles...slow I know >.<

Hahha... a thread on the BBC UK site... no bias there or anything ROFL! It baffles me how people that have never played both sports in any formal league see themselves fit to provide even the slightest opinion on the topic.

well, it isnt really, seeing as a few of the main contributors to the thread are american and candian. people can base opinions on what they see too, you dont have to have played a game to understand what it is like in terms of fitness or aggressiveness etc. but actually one or two people in that thread have played both (or all three - league, union, american football).

the bit that cracked me up was the american fella correcting the english blokes spelling of armour with armOr :tiphat:

but anyways, i suppose the point of that link was to show that other places seem to have the same meaningless and endless debates as we have just had here. much like the 'whats best' thread in the 3d forum :P
