FootBall,(soccer) Clip, MUST SEE

[Just A Girl]

Look it up Mf I already told you it was 10 yards futher than the longest Ever american football kick,
So do the maths.

And I was watching wales vs ierland repeats of when wales won the grand slam.
And
Wales made a 52 yard kick look Way to easy. and had plenty more on it after it scored.
(52 yards was impressive But Nothing compared to the longest kick)


Im a bit dissapointed in your argument,
As i have taken the time to compile a lot of data about american football, And have watched the game,

Seeing as you dont know as much about rugby as i know about american foot ball,
I feel as-though you should Try to Enlighten your self,

read this....

This web page is cheifley american So most of the facts revolve around the USA.

Look it up Mf I already told you it was 10 yards futher than the longest Ever football kick,
So do the maths.

Instead of tellin people go look it up in a such an offensive manner - why don't you provide a link. You might want to check your math (its do the math - not do the maths) - since your wrong - the longest Rugby kick for a score is significantly more then 10 yards greater then the longest kick for a field goal for American Football. And you might want to get your terms correct - many American football kickers kick farther then 63 yards - but that is the record for a scoring kick. You might want to see how many kickoff's are actually into the end zone from the 35 yard line. THe math for that is the kick is more then 65 yards.

The kick was measured at 81 yards by two students from Cambridge after the game, however, Ernie talking on TalkSport on Sunday, April 4, said he thinks the kick was actually longer than 81 yards, in that the measure was only to the nearest post and not in between the posts which is the traditional measure today. Using this method, the kick would have been closer to 90 yards which is the entire length of a rugby pitch.

So even your math skills are questionable in this thread.

Then you might want to check out the longest punts which are also a kicking of the ball.

Yards Name Game when

94 Joe Lintzenich Chi Bears vs NYG (11/16/31)
93 Shawn McCarthy New England vs Buffalo (11/3/91)
