Football (that's soccer for ya Americans..) world cup

There is this one-liner: Rugby is a game for louts played by gentlemen, while soccer is a game for gentlemen played by louts

in the States there's the joke:
Basketball is the game of the urban poor
Football (American football) is the game of the working class
Baseball is the game of the middle class
Tennis is the game of middle management
Golf is the game of executive and upper management
all of which proves....
the more money you make, the smaller your balls are

LOVED THAT POST!!! ROFLMAO!!!!



Anyway, I have been following the world cup because even the other free radical estrogen in this house is hooked!!!

By virtue of the fact that I grew up in an irish house and spent some time across the pond, I have to agree Rugby is the "REAL" football.

and c'mon, although I'll admit I watch the 9'ers what's with American football? Play 10 seconds...off to the side, play 20 seconds...sitting on the side sucking on oxygen tank...play 30 seconds...on the bench under the spray mist machine...aw c'mon I know it takes skill and guts but all the resting?

Can you tell I was a football widow? the ex played defensive line in a womens league.

I'd love to see some American football players trying to stop Jerry Collins doing what Jerry Collins does best. That'd be great comedy!

I've seen snippets of the World Cup. I don't mind watching the odd bit of football, but I just can't bring myself to care.
