...where the world cup, really is all countys around the world united in one compertition for the world cup.
The only cup I'm interested in seeing teams compete for is Lord Stanley's, otherwise, who cares.

Some of our American sports fans are also ridiculous. This is a phenomenon that has seemed to grow more and more since I was a kid. These fans for the most part color our sporting events. They paint their faces and bodies. They go shirtless in low temp weather, etc. We have these crazy fans too. We don't, (surprisingly enough) have a problem with violence at our games. There are exceptions though. We have had a few fan celebration riots that have resulted in a few deaths. The thing that amazes me is that the fans from opposing teams can sit together in the stands during a game with almost no confrontations. America is known for violence throughout the world but sporting events seem to bring us together for the most part. We seem to have a respect for each other at these events. We will give each other the finger and cut each other off with our cars to get to the stadium. But once the game starts, we tolerate each other.Point Taken Bobdadruma.
Like wise, there has been input into our country for the introdution of AF, it has been taken up by certain sectors of the public, but our national sport is football, for which many a surpporter is passionate, sometimes to the point of ridiculous.
The only thing i would say about football, is it is not just euro football, but world football, where all of south America, Africa, europe, united kingdom. Russia, Bulgon States, middle east countries, Asia, all play the game, where the world cup, really is all countys around the world united in one compertition for the world cup.
This time being held in South Affrica 2010..

Again.
I know little about AF, as mentioned in posts before, again, i started this thread, as i new it would be contrvesall, i write the contravesall posts, as i know it stirs up a hornets nest, as proven.
But if you are going to use a quote, use the whole quote as stated, and not the portion you want to use, to make yourself look good.
We can all take certain words from a speach and use them for our own benifit, to look good, but it all depends on the sort of person you are, and how low you want to go to make your self look clever.
And the players don't dive and fake injuries all the time.
Now there's some wise words. In some ways hockey is like soccer, only it's tougher, faster and more difficult. And the players don't dive and fake injuries all the time.
Wow. You're not still bitter about the Hand of God are you? lol I think you need an instigator penalty. Or maybe just dive and get a yellow card.
And what the F is "contrvesall" ?
I'll second the FAKING INJURY in soccer....I can't stand that crap!! HOWEVER...I do enjoy watching World Cup or Premier League matches ...
I grew up playing, and received a scholarship to play also, ....but there are things I don't like, and the worst thing is the 'faking an injury' thing....what garbage is that?!
SUFC.Loyal.....you're from Essex, ...please expound on that !
I love football, but i dislike watching the priemer leauge, as yes it is full of europeans, who fall down like girls, faking an injury, they get the other inocent player booked, and then they are up and running like nothing has happened.
You will also find that 90% of Britrish fans hate players that fake an injury..
In the lower leagues you do not have so many Johnny forigner playing there, and so the game is as it should be, men standing up on their own two feet, and crunching tackles.
Plus the lower league football is mainly watched by the working class people still, football is still in its rawest form at this level, as the priemer league is very corporate oriontated, full over overpaid pre mondonnas, who cant stand on there own two feet, other than the English players.
SUFC. Loyal> I agree and disagree with you. As a Luton fan down in the conference, doing very well as it happens, i find that when i go to watch Prem football, it is just so boring. Its most probably just me, but after watching my club play, and play against opposition who are willing to fight and play a proper game of footie and earn the points unlike the prem premadonna's, and then to go back and watch prem footie, well the prem just doesn't cut it in my books. I also can't stand players who fake injuries. However there still present in the conference, combined with shocking refs, which just shows you that theres no getting away from it.
On the other hand, maybe were the exception, but the team i support that is being Luton, draws in thousands of people each week, and the players are on tremendous amounts of money in some cases. However biased you think i may be, i rarely see our players diving and cheating, that is the honest truth. However the opposition that comes to the Kenny in the conference has sometimes even been worse than the divers and premadonna's in the prem. Which imo, just goes to show you that whatever league your in you can't escape the cheats. Whether English or foreign. :S
I think the world's cage fighters would disagree with that...No other sport is this brutal, including rugby.
I think the world's cage fighters would disagree with that...
NO I bet most would not.. Most have probably played Football at one time or another. It's a different kind of brutality but still very very brutal. In alot of area's Boxing with gloves is still considered more dangerous than this mma cage fighter stuff, I think it has to do with the gloves allowing someone to get hit more often where as in bare knuckles you get hit like that your down and the fight is over, not much chance for repetitive blows to the head.
