OK, I'll stir this pot. AS AN AMERICAN - if they were playing football in my backyard, I'd only go out to tell 'em to get off the grass - BOOORING. And yes, I did play in High School, could never figure out WHY those chumps were sitting in the stands, heck, I only came for the after game fights [Linked Image]

Rugby - that's the game where you get equal enjoyment from punching yourself in the mouth, while a good friend knees your groin, right? Whoooweee, who wouldn't like that. [Linked Image]

Now as for soccer. That appears to be every bit as exciting as tennis. Lemme see, they're down there, no, they're up here... don't get no better than that, every bit as exciting as golf on TV. At least when Gerald Ford played, SOMEONE was gonna get hurt. (for those of you who ain't 'merican, Ford was one of our clutzier Presidents, hit a lot of spectators in the pursuit)

Guess you could say I'm not a sports fan, but just could not help putting in my 2 cents in.
