never liked it too much either, its truly lives up to being a pass time as thats all thats happening they have to serve alot of beer to keep people there
you have to a be a real fan to sit through that...I played an abbreviated/bastardized version of it when I was kid, it was a cricket/baseball hybrid...
I was there with three other teens from France, one of us got free tickets from his dad who didn't like it much either, so we decided to give it a try. We came in two hours late, ordered food and drinks (no beer since we were under aged)... and finally had enough before the end of the game
If you think it is a sport, your opinion need not be taken seriously(isn't this fun). As I said, it is a sport in the same way mugging is a sport. Absolutely not. If you think that, then you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Football is far and away the most complex sport there is. Not in the rules, but in the application. It is like a giant chess match, where every play the one side is trying to outsmart the other side. Go look at the 2000 page NFL playbooks sometime, and then tell me other sports are similarly complex. I love both basketball and soccer as well, but they are no where near as complex.
Me neither... I saw a game when I was visiting Aberdeen once, but the Scottish family I was staying with, was kind enough to only give me a quick introduction
Yes, because I was ACTUALLY suggesting that you fly to England. I wasn't simply trying to allude to the well known fact football fans are incredibly rowdy (hooligans maybe?), and not at all the "fairys" you claim they are. Were you shaken as a baby? Because I can't imagine someone with a fully functioning brain taking that as a serious suggestion. I could say something similar about American football. If watching a bunch of 250-300 pound men in tights manhandle eachother is your thing, then Brokeback Mountain is probably your favorite movie.
It's more of an English thing. Nice though to sit out in the summer and watch it and have refreshments, we have a local team that's quite good. My siblings like watching it and even follow cricket on tv. Kronik, if you watch English football you're not even watching Englishmen a lot of the time. They have a high standard and many quality teams which draw top players from all over the world. (i.e. showing your total ignorance again, it's nothing like you imagine)
That has happened to me quite often while playing It's pretty hard to always hit the ball with the foot: I've never scored a goal such as this for instance
can't see the names but it looks like roberto carlos and zidane...terrific players... of course baseball players never miss hitting a ball, and football never drop the ball [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p055E_FCewk&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p055E_FCewk&feature=related[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mplm57Did9M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mplm57Did9M[/ame]
Yes, Roberto Carlos and Zidane, for Real Madrid's Champions Cup Final against Bayer Leverkusen, at Hampden Park. Failing at sports is always part of the fun, of course it's even funnier when it's coming from well-trained athletes
That's a matter of opinion now isn't it. How a sport is played is part of every sport, not just soccer. Every game has it's strategies, every team/player has their own. Just because I like games with more scores doesn't mean I don't like strategy as well. That is one of the biggest reason I am a Jiu-jitsu fanatic. Often I describe Jiu-Jitsu as a game of chess. It's all about the next three moves. I have my opinion, you have yours. Deal with it. If your such tough guys, why don't you play something more inherently violent. Sounds like compensation to me. You all drive big trucks too. "raking" in rugby is a legitimate move where you can rack an opponents arm if they reach for the ball when they are not supposed to, don't think the same applies to soccer. What a real "tough guy" your brother must be. Why don't you go re-read before you further embarrass yourself. The fact that football has evolved into what it is today was my entire point from the beginning. I have never, and I mean never seen someone fake an injury to stall a game. I would rather lose than cheat. If you have a problem with Kronikscope then deal with him. And your still the only one in here who thinks soccer is a violent sport. You can spin all you want about how bad ass you guys though you were. The fact of the remains, you still play soccer.
MMA fighters are some of the most elite athletes that there are. Wait a second. Are you talking about American football or soccer?
some of the best football matches i've seen have been 1-nil or nil-nil of course the best matches i ever played in were 3-0 as a fullback it's always nice to have a 3 goal lead.
see what's left of your post? ya that's exactly how much of it I read...you want to troll and flame, yakking about sports you know nothing about it have at it, I'm done with you...
my favourite will always be one vs my teams most hated rivals that knocked them out of the championship semi-final 1-0. We lost the final but beating the most violent arrogant team in the league was priceless...
my favourite goal of all time...Roberto Carlos, I would have thought it technically impossible, the keeper thought so as well...an out swinging ball hit with the left foot, from the touchline on the left side of the pitch...it shouldn't be possible which explains why the keeper was thinking inswinger... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhVDFEW5348"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhVDFEW5348[/ame]
Not my favorite but still a great goal by Roberto Carlos, this time Zidane looked frustrated inside the "wall" [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb2qykj6_ZU"]Roberto Carlos Freekick Against France HQ - YouTube[/ame] but he got even a year later, when his header passed through Roberto Carlos' legs at the world cup final
your link is inactive...this is the goal correct? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crSkWaJqx-Y"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crSkWaJqx-Y[/ame] Barthez and everyone else who saw it thought the ball was going out the the corner flag, incredible bend...but that's the same skill that he used on my earlier post which he did at 90 degrees to the goal on the run, which is why it's my favourite...incredible power and technique to develop that much bend...
I've never had a chance to play Rugby, but a few of my friends have asked me to play when they start back up in the spring.
He is at a jolly in the Hilton in the city centre and just sent a text saying Richie Gray is there as a guest with his party. Sexist comment alert...I did of course text and say.. ask him to take his shirt off and get pics...
Paris, what about this then? My favourite goal of all time, you could've heard me in France. As Wyly says it was fun because no one expected it, France is so much better, but Scotland had a great run in that tournament and I think they beat France twice. James McFadden spent time trying to get round the defence here, realised he couldn't and took a gamble..which is why I like him as a player. He has a good brain. He was inconsistent though and hardly got a game with his team. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nmtB7rBs3M"]James McFadden's Incredible Goal against France - YouTube[/ame]
