Im american and I hate baseball,very boring.I dont really understand cricket but it seems very gay.

You Know

So are you saying that we must live in a constant state of dread and ignore the lighter side of life?

No. I am saying that you will continue to live in a perpetual state of self-induced imbecility until reality overtakes you. / You Know

And all the players are middle aged and have beer guts. It's just not cricket.

Hm, yes, you're right. One peculiar thing about cricket appears to be the age difference between players and the innocent bystanders forced to watch it: while the players seem to be fairly young guys most of the time, the "crowd" consists almost exclusively of WWI veterans.

I see two explanations for that: a) these guys are so old and demented that they have neither the will nor the physical strength to protest or run away, b) their doctors think that sitting in the geriatric ward and watching flies crawl on the walls would be too upsetting for their weak hearts - the sheer suspense would kill them. Cricket to the rescue!

Well, soccer may not be the most exciting game in the world. However, braindead TV commentators, blind referees, and of course the regular penis biting orgies make it at least bearable. I mean, it could be worse. Think tennis, now that's boring.

I think that watching TV soccer can be off-putting, TV cannot convey the sense of atmosphere and drama to anyone who is not 100% conversant with the game.

On several occasions I have taken overseas visitors to big soccer matches, and they were always enthralled. One lassie was a 17 year old Texan who was so intrigued that she would travel up by bus to watch Bristol City - Bristol City! - play as oftren as she could.

I guess you will YK.......

Eman...I wouldn't be too bothered. In fact its a tough group for all the teams. It could be that the Argies don't make it through! If we can dump them out early so much the better!

You Know,

You can't induce a state of imbecility. It's a congenital condition in which the sufferer does not progress beyond the mental age of 5. Some imbeciles, however, have been known to have certain delusional tendencies, unlike yourself who simply suffers from delusions of equality.

Wow! Eman, you've seen all but one of the 92 teams in action. Who is the one you haven't seen play yet?

My commiserations about the draw. Even though I'm here in the Great Southern Ocean, I want you to know I understand how you feel. Not like those ignorant yanks! What do you expect from people who love a game call baseball and that the Brit call rounders that only the girls play!

Cheers,
Ozzie

Ozzie,

Actually, I have never ever seen Coventry City play. In my time as Pompey supporter, I have seen them play in all 4 divisions, I think that we may go into the Premier within a couple of years.

Hey aussie are you bashing us.This coming from a contry whose exports are three very bad paul hogon movies and an insane crocodile man.But I would love to live in your contry cause Im lazy and austraila is the lazy mans capital of the world lol.But as an american I need to point out that baseball is not the game of choice over here.The NFL is now americas game.Baseball is slowly dieing over here becase americas attention span is that of a ferret on a doubal expresso.
