Alsways called the beautiful game 'football.' I was always better at it than the footy game.

But I played more rugger than 'soccar.'

its always going to be soccer.

I really don't get it. 22 superb sportsmen sprint around a field for 90 minutes and the score is ........................... nil all! And thats a competition?

Its about as bad as cricket where 22 guys play for 5 days and call it a draw - even though each team has scored different run totals.

I agree there probably are some poofters playing soccer but there's a lot more faggots in boxing.

Hmmm you might have a point, I always thought socca players were poofs cos they rip their shirts off when they score, but us boxers get into the ring with only their boxers on in the first place

. Better watch out next time I'm in the showers!!!!

Yeah I think it's a bit stupid running around after you score and ripping your shirt off then kissing your team mates. But then the haka makes me embarassed to be kiwi to. I cringe every time it's done before a sporting event....

I think there is a whole new thread in that statement... I think it was way over done at the Commonwealth games and I hate to admit it, but was embarrassed when they do the haka to someone who comes second (or was it third?) in a third rate swim met. Still love the new haka when they do it infront of the poms.

Racist pig!

Yeah, I must be a poof since I perfur football over rugby. Kicking other peoples shins is far more gay than hugging each others arses...
