BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT





I'm not really interested in football but the Vuvuzela things make me laugh.

[Seraphimsan]

I'm starting to get into it, Even though I'm an american, football (or soccer here) is one of my favorite sports :O....I actually can't stand american football or baseball.

Embarassing performance... BBC's reporter nailed it I think: "Dear Oh Dear"

[firedraco]

Nope. I dislike most sports...too boring.

Me neither. Learning wrestling wasn't real ruined it for me.

Not only am I not interested in it, I also root against the national team. The sooner this ordeal ends, the sooner everyone can stop acting like morons. The other day, I almost fainted from the facepalm when I heard a professor say that she was asked by higher ups (or something) to move a test because it was at the same time as a game. I've considered building an inside out house on the shores of California and become a marine biologist, more than once.

If you say that you don't like football, here in Italy, people think you're mad.
I instead think people acting weird just because some not-really-smart-guy kicked a ball is mad...

The HIGHER UPS? The hell? I would ask "When is the game?" and when they answer "Ok the test is moved to be exactly that length of time, and no leaving early!"

Same.

About the only sport I can watch sometimes is American Football.



I have a lot of respect for soccer football players though. I mean that sport is extremely physically demanding.

[guestgulkan]

Oh my god - could you guys be any geekier :-).

None of you even play(ed) sports.

Rugby was my thing in my youth, but I as always up for a game of footie, basketball, hockey, cricket, table tennis.

Not that I was actually any good at any of them.

[chrisname]

Hockey is ok, and table tennis is fun (even if only to stand 6 feet away from the table and give each player two paddles).

[Seraphimsan]

I played it, soccer, my freshman year in highschool. I was in shape then and I can attest that even at the highschool junior varsity level it is an intensely demanding sport.

[Incubbus]

I did play American Football from the 8th grade to the 11th... THIS IS (non-numb/dumb-running-only-after-the-ball)SPORT (the only better ones are Ice hokey and La Cross^^)... I only watch soccer when the BIG 2 are running(World/European Cup)...

We finished of England... wohoooo...

Let´s see what the match against Argentinia will show to us...

[Kyon]

I like sports myself and I really do it a lot, but I just don't like LOOKING at people doing sports (without popcorn and friends :P). I'd rather run myself.

[kaduuk]

I agree with Kyon :) I love to do sports (football, tennis, cricket, competition swimming, cycling, baseball or just running) but I hate to watch it on tv.. It's just so boring.. I'd much rather do it myself (eventhough I'm not great) it's just so much more fun :)
