Soccer.

Haha! Never seen that, looks ghey!

of course you haven't! The US doesn't have a team so the US networks wouldn't broadcast it in their Olympic coverage. They don't even show athletes from other teams in sports that Americans DO compete in, do they?

[Endrik]

but they do show awfully a lot of Angels fans with their bandwagon fan gear.

Play a game of soccer before calling its players pussies. Only in America did I ever hear people saying this kind of stuff.

I've played the game before. I do admit they are very well conditioned athletes with the amount of running involved and the duration they play. They are on the bottom of the toughness totempole however. Lot of their players are also academy award winniers injury faking.

perhaps its an American thing but soccer here does not equate its players with toughness in terms of sport.

[AEK-Jackson Fan]

Possibly. I mean, when I was playing goalie for my soccer team in America I had to wear a helmet (??). I don't know, where I was living it was the upper class children who participated in weekend soccer, maybe that had something to do, Im not sure.

In England, however, the sport is nothing but physical. The rest of Europe, the refs call any foul, which leads to alot faking.England however, the play goes on, refs allow alot more, which I like to see. There was once a time where Rugby and soccer were the same sport, until handling the ball was dissalowed and the two separate sports were created.

volleyball isn't physical at all though but I like that game but not that beach crap which is boring (although I sometimes play it myself during the summer)

[Sunbane]

Volleyball is really fun to play. =)

[Nightbat]

Everyday I strap myself in

...for a grueling game of badminton!

oh, you'll hear it plenty in Australia too.

I actually really like soccer. Watch the EPL every weekend. But I love Australian Rules & Rugby Union too. I grew up watching Rugby League. And I enjoy the NFL too. Some people seem to have difficulty appreciating different codes for what they are or they get caught up in the "which athletes are tougher" bullshit

[AEK-Jackson Fan]

Well, I guess you guys in Australia have rugby and Australian rules as you said which the sport is probably often compared against. In Greece, for example, soccer is pretty much the most physical sport (though there are a couple of rugby teams).

Of course, Im not saying either is better, just comparing.

That's because you aren't playing it properly, you swarthy Mediterranean thug.
It's called "the beautiful game" for a reason, and that reason is fleet-of-foot and ball control skills (oo-er).
It's NOT about barging into the back of the man with the ball, hacking his legs from under him, then rolling about in pretend agony like it is YOU that has been fouled, before jumping up and running up to the referee, arms outstreched in a "whaddayamean?"-fashion, whilst your fellow peasant goatfucking hairy,sweaty trogladyte team-mates also barge into the ref, jabbering in pretend outrage and breathing a mixture of nasty Turkish cigarettes, garlic and other men's cum into his face until he backs down or books one of you.
The sign of the red card being produced is NOT meant to be a trigger for a wave of extreme violence from the crowd, along with distress flares being fired onto the pitch, at the end of the day it is a GAME, not life or death, regardless of what some inbred dagos believe.
Incidentally, I'd ditch the red card for use in Europe and use a white flag, it's the kind of language Johnny Foreigner understands (along with the good old short chamber Boxer Henry .45. Oh yes, they understood that one alright. Huzzah! God Save the Queen!)

[AEK-Jackson Fan]

??

Anyways, I didn't mean that it is played in a physical way here, quite the opposite. Just showing how physical sports aren't played in Greece and that football is the most physical (compared to volleyball and basketball), which is not in fact very physical.

The sport here is not nearly as physical as in England.

[VitaminG]

don't mind Rsmacker. Apart from being a pathological asshole, he's still just hurting from the vicious sunburn on his pasty white British ass from his last "sojourn" to the beaches of the Mediterranean. Apparently elderly tourists are just MAD for a pale English cock!

rsmacker is just quoting from the diploma of Francesco Totti's Acting and Diving school.
