btw it's called FOOTBALL, not soccer! grrrrr!

Unfortunately, football has been spoilt by all the money involved in it, I'm not sure what the situation's like in other countries, but in England there is only realistically about 4, maybe 5 or 6 clubs that could win the Premiership. These clubs attract and generate most of the money, whilst most other football clubs struggle to break even financially. Most people in the world will have heard of Manchester United, and Arsenal, but how many could name all the other clubs in the Premiership, let alone the other football leagues?

Sorry if I'm a bit off topic there, I hope that it does attract more international attention, and good luck England in Euro 2004! Let's add the European Championships to our Rugby World Cup! (Sorry Gelfen!)

hi sammy.

it might be called "football" (by some) but it's not real FOOTY!

(although strictly, it's the only code with the right to the name "football" since it's the only one where you can't use your hands).

as for the union, we were lucky to get as far as we did and in the end it was only one player who made the differece (i.e. Johnny).

wrt to soccer, the good thing about the british comps is the FA Cup because any club in the country can potentially win. there are occassionally some really good stories to come out of that.

btw - Sammy you're welcome over in my new thread, as is anyone else who cares to drop by.

Football - a ball hit with a foot and a game where a ball is hit with oh err.... a foot. A simple explanatory word invented years ago buy some bloke called Fred, "By George I think I will kick this ball with my foot for no reason, why its a football".

Soccer - A silly word invented by an American because their Rugby for girls game was for some silly reason already called football (why, when its predominately thrown, caught and put between a fat sweaty guys arse?). " Oh dear boys, what shall we call it? - flabbit, hoofer, shibbla, naffty, wibbly? Oh darn it, is dumb and boring anyway lets call it Soccer." " Why dont we call it football like the rest of the world dan?" "Becasue we are American, ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY PATRIOTISM!?"

In Australia we also call it Soccer.

Football, or more correctly footy, is Aussie rules football

Well, i like baseball and Ice Hockey.
But i think the magic in Football is that the scoring doesn't happen everytime or it can happen very quickly.

It's like sex, if you're not making it everytime, you enjoy it more when you do.
