Help me choose a US Football team!

why are you always so nasty to people? i have only been on this board a few days and i have seen so many people complaining about you. advice is nice, having a go at someone is not!

anyway, have you ever actually watched rugby? I have many times and i can tell you that a lot of skill is required to play. to play either US football or rugby you need to be large in size. no matter how much skill you have, you won't succeed if you are small. soccer players have to have skill, and don't have to rely on height et cetera that much.

i know how hard the tactical game of Us football is. i went to the library today and read TWO books on the sport and its rules and teams. ok, i didnt have time to read it all properly but i got most of it. i understand that playing a game is like trying to organise a military attack. i know that! its so structured at times. the game isn't so free flowing because everything is worked out before the play.

i want to pick a team cos it makes it exciting. by picking a team i can get really motivated to watch and cheer them on. i always choose a team to support no matter what sport it is.

as for winning a world cup - it won't happen until 2010 at the earliest! its not really the lack of support that stopped you winning but the lack of skill. you're team hasn't quite made it yet to the level of the europeans or the south americans. personally, i believe the lack ofd support did you good this year. it might your team fight to try and get recognition in your country. i keep hearing about a basketball world cup that the US lost cos you put in a team cos you though you would walk it.

ok, im being stupid but who were you having a go at there? its just that i am a she and the "i second HIM" makes me think you might be having a go at me.

why don't they have a M or F thing on the profiles?

sorry again for being a DOH!

 

phew!

wonder when out friend Mr cam will be back? can't wait

 

excuse me, but in England we get taught to respect everyone. it doesn't matter if you are male, female, old or young you should still be respected. i will respect you if you respect me.

as for the sissy comment. if you read it properly, i called baseball sissy too. now i stayed up till 4.15am watching a live game last night even though i had to be up at 7. now is that dedication for you? i do this towice a week. i really love this sport but its still sissy to me. so i will continue to call NFL sissy till im ble in the face. as you said yourself, it should be about skill.

its not just me who calls it sissy. its like the name for it in england. mention american football and you get a giggle and a "that sissy thing. babies!"

as for owen - i think he went off the boil a long time ago. owen and heskey were englands weakest players IMHO. giggsy is far superior to him. if only wales could make the WC.

can you answer my question though? how many FULL rugby games have you watched and were thye rugby or union. i did watch the superbowl last year cos i wanted to try and watch the best first. i am going to try and watch as many games a s possible but remember they are on till what time in the moring? i can't stay up 7 days a week till that time? its on a very blurry black and white channel that currently has no sound. i can't really understnad the rules well cos of this. there is an Steelers v Pats match on tomorrow night (i don't think its live cos the games can take so long. cut out timeouts etc.) that i will watch.

another thing i hate - why do they have to have so many time outs? it totally ruins the game for me.

i can see that. i love to soccer/football - its my life but i don't pretend its a hard mans sport. thats what i really don't get about US football fans. their blindness in thinking that it's a really tough sport. i watched the highlights of all the games so far and its not a hard sport. all these players would be killed in 5 secs of rugby! with all that padding thay could at least try tackle players with a bit of umph!

 

its sick when money ruins sport. thats not the way its supossed to be. anyway, im sure the rules of the game where made up way before it was broadcast on TV like it is today. what was the original reason for so many breaks.

 

sorry, but america is the most advertising mad country in the world and would jump at the chance to have as much advertising as possible! the clubs advertise by announcing who makes their kits etc. so what is the difference? thats still advertising.

 

i think we may be watching different games. the US football teams of the NFL run and try to hit players but either just hit them gently or miss completely! with all that padding they should be whacking into those opposition guys with all the force in the world.
