Yeah but 3 hours of "game" is... rather tedious. I'll grant you, US Handball is a good way to fight insomnia, though.

But its not dissorganized,
If they were dissorganized they couldnt pass the ball,

I find it funny how americans are so against soccer and calls it a sissy sport only because they are afraid that such a kick ass sport may erase their culture. I've heard it's become a political issue, for example John Kerry had to keep it secret that he liked the sport during the election campaign

regarding rugby vs american football I'll shut up. actually I believe american is as violent as rugby, but I really can't tell.

Play without the padding and what you got there that you call American foot ball,.
Is in fact Rugby league With forward passes and off the ball blocking allowed.

Rugby league already sux without you destroying it futher with removing 2 crucial rules.
(No forward passing, No blocking of tacklers)
apart from those 2 rules and the fact some where along the way you decided you no longer haft to TOUCH The ball DOWN in the end zone to score a "Touch Down"
The game is the same.
Same rules about how many turns you get to try and reach the end,

Same cick the ball over for points or reach the end for more points.

You even line up the same when you start as they do in rugby league.
with 1 man passing the ball back.
but in rugby league your only allowed to tackle the guy with the ball.

American foot ball is boring compared to rugby league,
and rugby league is boring compared to rugby union,
"i think thats why american footbal MUST have cheer leaders, Othere wize it would be boring"

The Real Game is rugby union,
With Rucks and scrummages.

Where if you get knocked out, Tough. Some 1 will drag you out of the ruck using there feet to your face,

Where offside player are allowed to be treated as a ball.
Yes you can kick em out of the way.

and of course.
The lovely blood sub,
Where if you sustain a hideous injury,
you can walk off to the side get it sewn up then come back and rejoin the game,

All this without stupid Im a big girl Padding and a helmet.

Ah yes,
I love rugby union
Where men are men, And women squirm at the carnage.

P.s

By the sounds of the post topic,
yove only ever seen rugby league,
Where when you get tackled you stop and line up again like you do in american football

Rugby union is by no means "tag" lol :)
You get tackled there,
Both teams jump on you Then try to kick you in the face so your not near the ball any more,
Whilst other team members try to remove players from above you so they can get to the ball.

I sudgest you watch some ruby union.
im shure you will soon turn white and change your tune :)

P.P.S

if you check the org map,
It seems there are Quite a few americans on the org so you cant try that outnumbered stuff,

If you dont like that fact rugby is better Then you shouldnt have started a poll,

Do you understand the rules of american football?

(No forward passing, No blocking of tacklers)
apart from those 2 rules and the fact some where along the way you decided you no longer haft to TOUCH The ball DOWN in the end zone to score a "Touch Down"
The game is the same.

There are no rules in football about how many turns you get to try and reach the end,

but in rugby league your only allowed to tackle the guy with the ball.

You can only tackle the man with the ball infootball as well. They might start off with passing the ball back but things get very different after that. Are there downs in rugby?

American foot ball is boring compared to rugby league,
and rugby league is boring compared to rugby union,
"i think thats why american footbal MUST have cheer leaders, Othere wize it would be boring"

Because you dont know whats going on,

About the injuries. You get more little boo boos in rugby for sure. But people die playing football pads and all every year.

This stuffa bout the pads is like saying soldiers who wear helmets and body armor are sissys.

Ok
Watch this.
(sorry about the dodjy music "if you can call it that")
http://shoguntw.2ya.com/1.wmv

"Tag" LMAO

And you Must Have DOWNWARD pressure on the ball when you Touch it down in the end zone in rugby, (Called a Try)

Just throwing it and doing a silly lil dance would = No points and you get tackled in rugby.

And ive watched american football,
After 5 failed atempts to go 10 yards you "punt" the ball,
Same as rugby league exept in rugby league its A number of trys to score, not a number of trys to manage to gain 10 poxy yards,
(and your allowed to throw the damn ball forward so its not actualy difficult to go 10 yards compared with doing it in rugby league)

So again rugby is a tougher game.
And thats just rugby league. "the one women play"

you cant compare Rugby union to american football.
Rugby union chews em up and spits the weaklings out,
If you die without padding,
You aint tough enough to play,

as for off the ball tackeling,

When you guys start .
You all line up
1 guy throws the ball back.

And then every 1 without a ball Tackles eachother to protect the guy with the ball,

so all i said was right,
The rules are similar only you guys can pass forward and block or tackle people who dont have the ball.
And you only haft to go 10 poxy yards before the Attempts counter is reset,
"i beleve you call them Downs"

So dunno what your talking about,

But you shure dont sound like you watch any of the games.

1 bad thing about rugby union is..
If some 1 gets knocked out or theres a big fight.
Theyl mention it 1ce,
and then you get no replays Cos its such a common occurance.
But thats Not all bad, Least you get back to the action.

American football Is boring however.
I prolly watched 2 whole seasons of it when it was on chanel 4.
i understand the game 100%
It just sux.

So there goes your "you dont understand the game" Argument,
And Your
"americans are out numbered" argument

Prety soon it will be,
"I hate you all Im right The world is wrong"

But we both know,
In the case of a majoraty saying 1 thing is better than the other.
The "you dont understand" argument aint gonna cut squat.

Maby you will Relize your wrong After you actualy watch some rugby union,
becous I have watched all the versions of rugby,
And I have watched your american football.

And i understan all the games fully,
You dont seem to.

Yes you can throw the ball forward, but it is not that easy to complete a pass.

You can only tackle the player with the ball. You can block defenders durning the play, but there are rules on how you can do it.

There is A LOT more strategy in American football then almost any other sport in the world. Most NFL team have any were from 600 - 1000 offensive plays, and 200 - 300 defensive plays. Not to mention the almost unlimited formation you can use on each side of the ball. If nothing else the complexity of the game makes it fun to watch.

So unless you can tell me what a 2 deep man coverage is you don't know enough about football.

"So unless you can tell me what a 2 deep man coverage is you don't know enough about football"

In the Man to Man Coverage Defense the "open" DE and the strong side LB are responsible for the back coming out of the back field, and the DE to the strong side is responsible for detaining the TE on the line of scrummage.

Heres a Pic.

------------------

So now ive told you what you wanted me to...

can you explain to me what a catch in your own 22 means in rugby. And what you haft to shout to make Something "special" happen,
Also When does a touch back mean you get the ball and when does it means the opponents get a 5 yard scrum,

and id like you to tell me what offside is,

I guess if you cant answer You dont know Enough about rugby,

wow Do you know why the average NFL football players life is 55 22 years younger than the average american? Have you seen Eric Dickerson or Gale Sayers latley? Does Rugby have 6'6 300 Lb men who can run sub 5 sec 40s? Men who can bench 500 squat 1000 lbs? How many people die in Rugby each year? Last year in Texas highschool football 5 kids died from on field injuries. Rugby is a rough game of tag with tiny men.

no i only said it was a rougher and harder sport...not that it was any better...SOCCER RULES THE WORLD...no arguement
