Is FTR skate free?

[kevster]

Don't see any threads about "Good old Harry's cup win". Thank fuck.

[badgers]

well done harry.

[kevster]

d'oh!!

I have friends that are Pompey fans and I don't begrudge them but all I'm hearing on the TV and radio is "how great it is for Harry". No-one mentions that the cunt took us down doing nothing but publicly moaning about how poor the players were.

OK, for our American hosts - we're talking about the FA Cup final (UK soccer showpiece) yesterday. Portsmouth won (sickens me to type it).

what is this thing you call soccer? is it a game or something?

They make up their own sports so they can hold a world series and be world champions without ever actually playing anyone from another country.

It always amuses me that non-Americans care that we dub our champions world champions. The world is what you make it. If the world of baseball is played from sea (Atlantic) to shining sea (Pacific) in our eyes, then our champions are world champions. If the world of futbol americana is played between players of the highest caliber in the sport enjoying freedoms of the highest caliber in the world, then world champions we shall dub them!

[badgers]

you crazy yanks should learn a new sport. Here's a quick rundown of the rules.

It's a marvellous game really, you see, the bowler hurls the ball towards the batsmen who tries to play it away to deep fine leg, he endeavours to score by dashing between the creases , provided the wicket keeper hasn't whipped his bails off of course.

WAIT, SO SOCCER IS THE MOST POPULAR SPORT IN THE WORLD

THIS IS NEW AND EXCITING NEWS

elitism in sports that people like is just lol

baseball isn't big only in america

the japanese love it

im sure if the koreans weren't so busy with starcraft they might too

more controversy.

[kevster]

Anyways, Pompey - and more specifically Harry "fingers" Redknapp can fuck right off. That was the point of my OP.

Lol, are u going to try and argue that it isn't?

and will, i would be self-righteous if I was an American saying 'American football is the most popular sport in the World!"- because it isn't.

futbol IS the most popular (watched, played, part of culture for billions) sport in the world.

I didn't say anything about best sport, which is obv where the debate and 'self righteousness' comes in. my personal favourite sport is boxing but i can accept its mostly not a hugely mainstream sport.

[WillburForce]

Oh the beautiful game......

I fucking hate Pompey and Rednapp is crook (though I love him for all he did at West Ham). I went to West Ham v Pompey a few games ago and I was right next to the away lot. I spent the entitre game (mainly because the football was so bad) trading insults with their shit fans. That twat with the silly hat and bells is a right cockmonkey. Why would you be proud to come from Portsmouth? I really don't get it. You'd have thought you'd try and keep quiet about it....

rugby should be worldwide appreciated though, that would be awesome.

Who are these mythic Americans claiming our football is the most popular? I don't understand who it is you're trying to insult. But don't lump us in with them because I doubt any Americans on FTR think this. I'll thank you not to generalize about my peoples like this in the future.

no mr. defensive/let's start arguments, i'm not. it just gets old that every time sports gets mentioned, euros get up in arms with the "omg soccer!111"

lay off the coffee, imo. you're coming off extremely obnoxious.

[WillburForce]

omg it ain't called soccer

and the reason us Euros bring it up so much is because its the beautiful game...

Imagine all sports are card games.

Football = Poker
All other sports = Snap

It's hard for us yanks to care honestly, I played soccer for years but finding anyone or anything written about it here in the US is near impossible... television coverage is worse... so it quickly becomes hard for us to care about it.

Plus we're pussies here in the states and can't hang with you true athletes... that is why we play poker.

Saying it ain't called soccer is like saying that my name isn't 'rilla

And beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Americans aren't going to get behind soccer because Americans love to cheer for teams which can compete. The NFL is structured so that your local team can compete for a playoff spot every year. My roommate loved soccer, I was forced to watch games all the time. We watched those review shows during mid-day when nothing else was on and we were just hanging out. When goals are scored they're great. But I can give similar reviews about Hockey and Football and for those sports, I have teams which I grew up cheering for.

uhhhhh basketball, volleyball, snowboarding, skateboarding.

and if you change it to north america, then you can add a few more.

[Pelion]

Ok Hockey is awsome. But the main criticism of (english) football seems to be that its a low scoring game and therefore boring. Seeing as the vast majority of american football matches are spent out of play or in commercial breaks I really cant understand how it doesnt bore the shit out of people to watch it.

Still its all opinions and tastes so like what you want even if it does suck.

[dthorne04]

the moral of the story is that every sport has fallacies and problems no matter how popular/great/euro/american/WHATEVER it is. having a pissing match over whose sport is better is just retarded.

Did you know that he's changed his middle name by deed poll to "Portsmouth Football Club"?

Also, he still lives with his mum. No joke.

Agreed. Although I didn't start the argument, I'm pleased that a thread I've started has finally got a little flame around it.

Pssssst, it was actually a Canadian that invented basketball. But that's cool, you can have it because we're not good at it

Also, speaking of darts (sort of, barely) I ended up watching a professional darts match on TV the other day and the announcers were going absolutely ballistic. It was crazy. You have a couple chubby dudes casually tossing the darts, and the crazy brit announcer if screaming he's so excited. Made it actually kind fun to watch just to hear what the old boy would say next.

i checked it out before i posted it just to make sure i didnt look like an idiot. the thing i saw said an american invented it, but a canadian thought of putting another hoop in, making it full court.

But we last 80 minutes on a rugby pitch without having to take a 5 minute break for every 20 second play that is made

i think the only thing that comes close to rugby (and not all that close) for being an out and out physical game is lacrosse, and that's just because we get sticks.

yeah i was just joking. from what i understand rugby players are pretty much total badasses. i also heard that the criteria for hall of famers is really strange. i cant remember what they said, but it was something like they had to be like crippled in a match or something. anyone know if there is any accuracy to that?

[WillburForce]
