do you like american or europian (known as sorrer to us americans) football? personaly, i like american. there's nothing better than to fit in a crowd, sheering your team on (FSU FTW!) and seeing every body in the stands doing the chop.

I'm not really a big fan of football or soccer, but my little brother is playing football right now for his school so I'm supporting him in that.

I prefer soccer, in fact it's my second favourite sport (after table tennis). I don't know much about American football, will have to try it some time.

Its not really European Football, because everywhere over the world plays it. It should just be called Football, and the game the Americans play should be called American Football, but whatever Smile

To be honest, I prefer American Football. It is very simular to one of my favorite sports (rugby), but is a little more rougher, which makes it automatically better then Football, because if you get even the slightest push in Football you have to fall over crying Rolling Eyes

European. Instead of American football, we have rugby, which is great.

Are you saying that American football is rougher that rugby? Weird, I heard that rugby was rougher, though I know less about rugby than I do about football.

Well to be honest, in rugby you can't just punch someone over because they might tackle the person with the ball....

In that way, it is rougher, but in the case of Rugby players having hardly any padding on, then Rugby is rougher.

Because there is a ball, and they occasionally use their feet to kick the ball? o.0

Occasionally, yes, but not all the time. They grab the ball and run with it. It's allowed. And it's not even a ball. It's not round! Very Happy lol

Well Bushmerica is stupid. Twisted Evil


You really got issues. Matter of fact...big tough, guy talking sh!t behind a computer...come over to the states & say that. See how big & tough you are over here. Twisted Evil

Then again..I doubt you have the balls to do it. Only cowards pop noise behind a screen.

there's no need to bring any kind of politics or country bashing into this.

i prefer the Football, which most of the world prefers, i just don't like the sound of American Football, that doesn't has nothing to do with they actually do in the game. Second i hate NFL, so theres no point for me to like it. Smile
