I agree they may be crap, but who exactly are they and what league do they play in?

That Budweiser ad had the right idea with 'multiball'. I'm sure some 'purists' would disagree though.

The horses play with multiballs now?

Thats fastest ball. We're talking about fastest players (aren't we?)

If it was fastest anything, shooting would probebly win.

Eagles.. hotel california and so many other great classics, that nobody should ever doubt their status as rock/country legends.

FA cup finals... this years one was cheated away by Arsenal scum, but usually they are gripping and enjoyable.

Lapdancing... tits and naked girls rubbing up against your hard cock for money. Do I even have to say anything here?

The Matrix - perhaps the best movies ever, with an engaging storyline and deep philosophy.

Agreed except the Nicole Kidman bit but lets agree to disagree

Creamy Goodness · 31-05-2005 08:52PM

ok, so you say all american sports are boring? so then how come almost every basketball game comes down to the wire?

I think hurling's record is the fastest field sport, therefore ice-hockey, jai alai don't count

Yes.... it's soccer, that happens all the time!

And every team will leave a player in the opposition box, which will lead to 1 or 2 defenders in their own box all the time.

Which means the game will become more open therefore more goals!

I'm guessing lots of people here are soccer fanatics. They probally support foreign teams like liverpool, man utd etc. They'll buy the (over-prised) jerseys go to matches ( which may end 0-0) and shout on their favourite team. All the while the directors and share holders are laughing their way to the bank saving the money the mug fans have given them!

So by all means, go to the matches and spend (give) your money away. It does not bother me but I couldn't help laughing at the liverpool fans the other week. As they were celebrating liverpools success I couldn't help think back about the TV programme some months ago about the anti-irish abuse an irish family were receiving in.. Liverpool!

As opposed to doing the same for an amatuer sport in this country? The Irish are abused in every country they are in, just like very foreign group of anyt size are in any country they go to, lets hate the whole world, the bloody Irish hating bastards,

ya i was just messin about.
you know the hurling ad on tv 'fastest field game in the world' eh and it is a pretty cool sport great fun compared to soccor and gaelic.i would think more skill is required too cos it is

Zaph · 01-06-2005 12:47AM

Don't know how this has escaped my notice until now, but seeing as everyone else has had a go, Ill have a crack:

Soccer : So boring. The goals should be made bigger and real tackles allowed!

Boring? Were you watching Liverpool v AC Milan at all? I'm not a fan of either and I couldn't pull myself away from it. What would making the goals larger achieve? More goals would make it like basketball where one team goes down the pitch and scores, and then the opposition does exactly the same. But you don't like American sports either, do you? I do however agree that the physical element is being taken away and something should be done about that.

Hip Hop/Rap music: Do/can they ever write their own songs?

Not a fan of this at all myself, it offends my ears, but plagiarism has been part of music going back to the likes of Mozart, Bach and earlier, so it's hardly going to stop now.

Gaelic Football: It's not a bad game but hurling it ain't!

Not a fan myself, but I can see the attraction. Tough, physical game that's not for the faint hearted on many occasions. Can't see how that makes it overrated.

Gospel Music: High pitched screaming.

Ah now you're just being silly. Have you ever heard Mahalia Jackson in full flow? Or the Harlem Gospel Choir? In fact, do you actually know anything about music?

Martin Johnson: Good leader but not a great player. Over hyped by media.

Over-hyped by the British media maybe, but not here.

All US sports: And they say soccer is boring!

Ever been to a baseball game? Great fun, and that's before anything actually happens on the field. American football? A great game of tactics if you know what you're looking at. Ice hockey? Fast and furious, about as far from boring as you can get. Basketball? Yeah, OK, that bores me to tears as well.

Muhammad Ali: The greatest? I don't think so.

Leave this place now blasphemer! Not only was Ali the greatest in the ring, he was the greatest out of it. He stood up for his principles at a time when doing so was deeply unpopular and overcame the animosity to become the most recognised, and possibly loved, person on the planet.

Boxing: Put Muhammed Ali in a UFC octagon and see how long he would have lasted!

UFC? You call that sport? A bunch of thugs where they belong, in a cage. Ali had craft and skill and never had to learn how to fight like that, so of course he be killed. But put one of those guys in a boxing ring with Ali in his prime and he would have made them look like the neanderthals they are before flattening them.

When someone says Elvis sucks it hurts my soul. Anybody, no matter what their taste in music who can't appreciate Elvis ability as a singer and performer, either a) hasn't listened properly, or b) is in someway mentally lacking the ability to appreciate a true talent. I pity that.

Ali could hit harder than any of them and dodge better. He'd have destroyed them.

Dempsey · 01-06-2005 01:44PM

Ali was the greatest considering all the great fighters he fought and during what should have been the prime of his career he was banned from boxing.

Blisterman · 01-06-2005 01:51PM

I find a lot of sports which are good to watch, are not fun to play eg. American Football. And Vice Versa eg Soccer.
