American football is to sport as WWF wrestling is to Millie Vanilli !

Reed, you disappoint me I thought you were going to say as baiting posters on forums is your real sport.  Seriously if you came to America and watched the teenagers play this sport you wouldn’t draw that analogy.  Even if you did not like it you could never say fake. Professional athletes do not detract from the sport itself which in some parts of this big old country is like a religion.  Oops forgot you don't do that well either.

Dont make me mad.Just look at the Dragon Eye that is watching you!

BTW I love American Football, but Association Football is the greatest game on Earth, more loved by most people on Earth than the silly American pastimes!

Unfortunately some one had stitched an image of 2 beautiful young men caressing each others glistening bodies, onto the original Jpeg where Nebraska was. So I deleted that bit, so as not to cause offence, or unnecessary titilation.

I consider FC UTRECHT to be a real contender, They're real cup fighters (three times final, two times winner in the last three years. (4 finals three wins last 15 years). and what about Nebraska, the've never won a single match in 100 years of european football?????

(bye the way, for a small club like FC UTRECHT to win the Dutch cub., is like for a small Nebraska football team to enter the final of the world series, WE'VE DONE IT 3 TIMES AND TWO TIMES ON A ROW)

Football is 'the beautifull game' ,especially when Beckham scores!

I enjoyed the Republic Of Ire game.Goals don't have to be going in left right and centre for it to be interesting.Football is a battle that takes you through more highs and lows than you can ever imagine.In a word it's about PASSION.The twenty five thousand Irish fans at the the game in Paris had that in abundance!

ENGLAND SCORE......Back to the TV....... don't worry...scoring in soccer happens so infrequently ya probably won't miss anything until...hmm....about Tuesday zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... It's about patience and anticipation G. I realise you guys stateside are greedy by nature, have no attention span, and are far more interested in quantity rather than quality, which is why all your popular sports have score lines that change by the minute ( ) but we don't mind waiting 90 minutes to see just one or two artfull goals (Beckam's goal yesterday was pure art, executed with the grace of Nijinsky). Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, but the rewards are far greater. The Irish too, know what I mean. Yesterday they managed to hold on to a nill-nill draw against France, probably the most talented team in Europe. This earned them a point in the World Cup qualifying round. Well done Ireland.   short attention span...heck I couldn't even read through your entire post

 

I guess he has never watched a baseball game. It doesn't even have a time limit. 

But the game he is taking about does.  Maybe we should start talking about the short attention span of the soccer fans.

Since we're on the discusion of baseball I thought I would mention that Ken Caminiti died yesterday at the age of 41

I wish Euro Football were more popular in the states. Competition itself is great, until the dollars get involved.

It is doing quite well.  The pro league does just fine (MLS).  I know here in Southern California the Galaxy are pretty big.  Ist it going to be our national sport of choice? or is this going to reach the level of NBA, MLB or NFL?  Not for  quite a while. THe NHL does OK but is a step below the big three. A lot has do with what you grow up playing. WHile youth soccer has grown over the years when you get to High School  and college the big spots are American football and basketball.
