Football is the American version of Rugby. A few rules may be different, but the gameplay is similar. The only difference is that the players of rugby wear no protection apart from gumshields.

Yea, but you're an asswipe, so your opinion doesn't count anyway. That should be a point off for rugby if this craqqa voted for it.

Lenny 2004-09-19 12:41 PM

I hate to say it mj, but I agree with him. Football is a watered down version of Rugby. I mean, look at all the pritection. Helmets, pads, what's all that about? In Rugby, you get tackled, and by the Gods are you gonna feel it in the morning.

Demosthenes 2004-09-19 12:46 PM

So, it's for pussies because they decide to play safe, and wear pads? Right? I could always be wrong since I don't know much about Rugby, but if you say Rugby is a better game with such a pompous attitude then you should be smited. It's not the notion that I'm necessarily disagreeing with, it's his attitude.

I still stick to what I said, though. Football is the game I like.

Fair enough. I'll have to start asing people whether they are English or American etc. See how many English people like Football, and vice versa.

Let's start with me.

Lenny --> English, Rugby
MJ --> American, Football
SymnzXx --> English(?), Rugby

Anyone else?

Demosthenes 2004-09-19 01:04 PM

I'm American.

HandOfHeaven 2004-09-19 01:14 PM

Soccer !

Lenny 2004-09-19 01:21 PM

Wrong type of sport.

HandOfHeaven 2004-09-19 01:23 PM

American Football, though I despise it AND rugby both as much.

MightyJoe 2004-09-19 02:58 PM

Football, btw HOH soccer still isn't a sport. jk

Hades-Knight 2004-09-19 05:57 PM

Soccer.










10 char limit :rolleyes:

Lenny 2004-09-23 08:19 AM

Soccers a sport. If soccer isn't a sport, then why did the Americans enter a team for the World cup? Answer me that MightyJoe. Btw, soccer is not called soccer, but F.O.O.T.B.A.L.L. at least, that's what it's supposed to be called.

MightyJoe 2004-09-23 08:58 AM

They prolly misread the name. Soccer is NOT a sport, just deal with. You can't even use your hands.

Lenny 2004-09-23 09:03 AM

You can, if you're the goalie. Anyway, soccer (FOOTBALL) is the main sport over here in sunny old (my ass) England. Great sport.

He he he. Blackburn Rovers just got beat 7-6 in penalties by Bournemouth.

He he he. Blackburn are in the Premiership, and Bournemouth are in the equivalent of the Conference league (lowest league --> aka League 2)

MightyJoe 2004-09-23 09:06 AM

Yeah, see even there leagues are screwed up. They have like a two bracket system, its just f'ed up.

Lenny 2004-09-23 09:10 AM

Wah? Two bracket system? English football, or american soccer?

MightyJoe 2004-09-23 09:15 AM

England, don't they have where if you lose too many games you go to the lower level?
