well im in west oz, we kick arse at cricket and rugby, i remember beating the poms at soccer last year i think, our footballers dont wear any padding. oh and its almost winter and still 30C, perfect for a surf
Ha ha - that sounds like a comment from someone who doesnt play football. I come home from my matches evert week with cuts, scrapes and bruises. Soccer is a far rougher sport than a lot fo people realised. Id rather be pushed to the ground in RUgby than have someone slide tackle you when running at pace. Out of all the mentioned sports, soccer is the most skilfull of them all. Its easy to catch a ball and run with it, and hell i can play cricket - just swing the bat and a ball. But soccer, try taking a ball down on ur chest from a goalkeeper kick, or try catching it first time on a volley or even controlling a heavy hit pass. You'd all go home crying to your mothers i tell you/ Rugby - HA - its a pile of piss Cricket - HAHAHA - its even worse
That soccor comment was a poster ad here in Canada for the Italian channel. The only channel to really show soccor. Mainly because girls like Oriphus play it. Hee Hee. Now Hockey, thats on all the channels and everyone hits the streets for some street slashing. But my faviorite sport has always been cycling. Speed and Mountain. Watch the BC tours with crazy cyclests. Thats Canada, rough and balanced off road cycling.
Grrr.....;-) Hoceky is full of poofs as well. Look at all the protection they wear in case they get cold or get a wee cut or something. I'll have more respect for them if they were playing in shorts and a t-shirt and sliding about on the ice. Ice Hockey - HA - butch of sissies lol
Are you not telling us something? I thought you played Soccor for the sport of it, I didn't know they was an underling reason.
I play soccer because i love it to pieces. But its also a great way to impress girls and keep fit. Why...what were u hinting at ;-)
Well it is one of the reasons why guys play American football. The tight uniforms, reaching to get the balls, I mean ball. Hee Hee. I bet Britain would be nice. Today, Toronto high is only 9C. And the clouds and rain are also normal.
Throughout the year, Toronto has far better weather than Britain, but i dont live in Britain, so i wouldnt know lol. Ireland is very beautiful, but as dela will testify, its also very wet
For shear toughness it would have to be lacrosse. We dont have it in Oz but seen it a couple of times on tv and it looks pretty wild. The annual aussie rules/galic football series usually gets pretty rough too. As for soccer, Id rather be tripped over by Beckham than crunched by Shane Webke or Jonah Lomu. Easier to bring a ball down with your chest than to bring a ball down in a line out 12 feet in the air.
I'm still with hockey being the toughest. Not only do you have to be an outstanding skater (no small feat in of itself) but you also have to master being able to expertly work a little rubber puck around with a stick at the same time. I see it this way, the less teeth the average player has, the rougher the sport
Lets not forget the high speed.....it would be a death sport if thay had no protection with the sharp skates and sticks flying around.
Come on lads - who u all kidding - if u were any good at it u would like it - but since u r all crap at it, tehn i guess thats why u like other sports...
Oriphus, I could place yet another post stating that your football is for wannabe hockey players, or that the puck is to small for you since your getting old and blind as a bat or something like that. But i am prepared to set a truce here. I will no longer say anything mean or nasty about football, if don't say any more about hockey. Or we could keep this going till the end of time.

lol - im afriad it will probably go on for a long time. I will try not to say anything nasty, but dRD and i went through this a year ago and its still going As i said then, i actually think Hockey is a more respectible sport than Rugby, which is just big fat bastards who are shite at everything else. The first Rugby team was made up of a lot of football rejects in my opinion....
I'll agree with you on that one, but a fact that i heard awhile ago is that soccer players are the dumbest athletes. Reason why, do to the amount of brain injuries that occur from using their head's so much. Even boxers were smarter. Kicked in the heads with cleats, bloody shins, broken legs, not to mention serious concussions, and they still continue to play, see less brain power, not more manly.
