    I went to Juanita High in Kirkland - quite some time ago (1986).

    IIRC we lost the final to Gonzaga Prep that year.

    So do you. American and Australian football and rugby are all just bastardised versions of football, invented in the town of rugby in England.
    Again check the olympic stats. We rule all of sports while you are only good at the ones you invented.

    Have you been in a stadium of soccer here and seing everybody sing and scream an getting up on the fences until throwing it down. And then rob (yes rob) the players, it's quite a savage show, at least more savage that any NFL game
    Yes the crowd is but not the players. Bye the way I played on a championship soccer team in HS. We came in second in the state. I know all about soccer. Its a great game and takes much more stamina than football as you never get a break espically playing a forward like it did. But football is far more physical a game.

    Im sure a Football game(proper football) would beat an NFL game by miles, the sound would be far better
    What sound? Soccer is silent compared to football.

    also Gawain i still dont know how you can describe a NFL game like a war
    Then again I suggest you have no grasp of football. The coaches maje up a war plan. They study the enemies forces and how they use them and come up with both a defense and an offense to take advantage of this. Every play is drawn out and practiced just like we practiced for d day. There is the ground attack of the half backs and fullbacks and sometimes the quarterback. Theres the aerial attack of the OB and the recivers. Then theres the real war in the trenches and thats exactly what its called. In every way football can be compared to war.

    You know what else is a good sport? Shinty. And can be damned violent, too.

    The way I look at is alot of people always bring up their favorite computer game or what ever is their favorite thing to do.(for example when talking about iraq on here, I have seen people bring total war into it some how!)

    With me that is target shooting....if I had to choose between it and total war, total war is gone

    Target shooting is the most addicting thing you will ever try (if you do try it, and I suggest you do!)

    American Football all the way.
    Far more phyiscal than soccer.
    I played soccer, and its fun I admit. However, to me it seemed repeditive, and not as thrilling as football.
    Football, man, talk about big.
    (And the New England Patriots have not won twenty, only five)

    The greatest thing about AFootball is that almost every state has a team, and made couple more. Its electrifying here in Tallahassee (FSU!) every game we play. Especailly so when we play Florida and Miami.

    Football is great, cause it is all about your strategy.

    You got a buncha fast guys, go for a running play.
    Good QB, with an eye for a reciever, good senses for pocket, you got a throwing play.
    If you got both, then your really good. There is an element of randomness to it, along with strategy.
    For example, FSU sometimes plays like this.

    Running play, running play, airborne!

    Its the perfect center between baseball (real long, with no defined end) and basketball (very fast paced)

    Another thing is at the endzone. Especailly third down, on the fifth. You gonna throw? Are you going to run it through the center.

    But this is all a waste of cyberspace, because no one will care.
    If alot of European (namely British) people log on, then they will no doubt vote EFootball. If alot of Americans log on, then it would be AFootball.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
