Teddy Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 AAh, I didnt see darts. Yea, darts is alright, but snooker hurts my soul as much a watching cricket does. But I cant really say anything as I can sit there and watch golf for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_Bob Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 No... it's the beautiful game. If you have a team, it brings you soaring joy one week and despondent gloom the next. It gives you a passion for a sport that no other sport can bring. It's superbly exciting and soul destroying all at the same time... Just look at the crowds... see if they think it's boring. Well... not Brighton crowds obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 no football is not boring - there are no lengthy stops in play while another part of your team comes on, the game flows rather than constantly stopping and starting. It lasts the 90 minutes (or thereabouts) it is meant to, rather than 3 hours. You can watch a game that varies from moments of sublime skill to moments of almost donkey like, but amusing, grace.

Stramash Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 did you guys know that you just described an acid trip. drugs are boring. i rest my case. not really much of a case, more of a throwaway plastic bag... like an acid trip? how many acid trips have you had? ok, so the premises seems to be; YOU find football boring. Fair enough, that's YOUR opinion, but does not mean it is FACT. Personally I think that gay rugby game the yanks call football is mind numbingly suicide inspiringly boring, but it doesn't make it fact.

And after all, there really is quite a minimum amount of time where 'foot' and 'ball' actually come into contact in 'gridiron' Plus, within FIFA, there are 45 affiliates who are English speaking countries. Of these, only 3 (USA, Canada and Samoa) call it soccer. Therefore, by majority, the correct terminology for English speakers is simply 'football' or 'association football'. and why would people get upset about comparing/calling 'gridiron' (to) rugby? That is where the game's origins lie, except they added helmets, padding and long intervals of nothingness :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, within FIFA, there are 45 affiliates who are English speaking countries. Of these, only 3 (USA, Canada and Samoa) call it soccer. Therefore, by majority, the correct terminology for English speakers is simply 'football' or 'association football'. i think you can safely add australia and new zealand. we speak english there also and we call soccer soccer. in australia, football can be rugby league or union or australian rules. in new zealand, its union or league.

Only using 'gridiron' as I presumed that was you were referring to as 'football'. So what sport do you mean by the term 'football' then? And actually, yes, some of the big clubs in the UK do have 'dancing girls' before the game. And in both Australia and NZ, the governing bodies use the term association football, NOT soccer.

Ben Buckley is currently the CEO of the FFA and Frank Lowy is the chairman.[1] Among other duties, the FFA oversees Australia's national football teams (including the Socceroos (men), the Matildas (women), the Olyroos and other various youth teams); national coaching programmes; coordination with the various state and territory governing bodies; and the national club competition.

Its official nickname is the "Socceroos". The team is controlled by Football Federation Australia (FFA), which is currently a member of the Asian Football Confederation and also an invitee member of the ASEAN Football Federation since 2006. Australia is a four-time Oceania Football Confederation champion and has been represented at two FIFA World Cup tournaments, in 1974 and 2006. 14th is Australia's highest ever FIFA World Ranking since the rankings were introduced in 1992. Australia topped their group in the 2010 World Cup qualification and became one of the first nations to qualify for the finals tournament without losing a match and only conceding one goal. World Cup qualification in 2005 has seen Australian association football increase considerably in domestic popularity and in international competitiveness. from wikipedia. can you count how many times the term "football" is used here?
