Probably the football bashers dont understand the game,let them restrict their comments to rugby or baseball.

or it might be just their preference. i could never sit through a whole game of tennis myself.

football is the most popular sports the world has ever seen.

We understand it just fine - there is running and kicking and falling down and clutching one's knee and crying and then bouncing up and running some more...

For 4 hours on a giant field while people are chanting vile obscenities in the stands, rioting in the streets outside, and murdering players who screw up the Big Game. It's the very height of European and international culture - we understand it quite well and you are welcome to it. :)

Actually, this is what I typed once - I think in this forum - when challenged about hockey vs. soccer:

"Really. Unlike soccer, hockey players know where the puck is and where it is going. To find the puck you watch the players.

I know that's different than "footie", where half the team stands around in their shorts looking gay, the other half rolls around on the ground in great pain after having been tripped onto the soft grass, and the fans swarm the field looking for someone to stab."

Soccer is also the most boring sport ever, with the possible exception of golf, which in my opinion is not a sport at all.

I have a vision. I see a retired Indian Army Brigadier lining liebstandarte10 up through the sights of his rifle. I see him squeeze off the shot. Hole in one! I see the Brigadier retiring to the 19th hole while the greenkeeper cleans up the mess....

Has anyone noticed the two most boring games were made in the Britain - Golf and Cricket (but then this is religion in India).
Indians out did everyone by inventing Chess - most boring sport category.

Hey, don't make it personal. I don't like golf, I stated my opinion in a respectable manner, you do the same.

[giggs88]

Hey, don't make it personal.

Chess is anything but boring. :)

It's like war without the visual and audio effects...or the dying. ;)

I think he thinks it's boring because champion chess players sometimes take very long periods of time to make a move.

Only for the players...for the rest it is like watching a pair of snails race.
