it's a sport for the coaches, not the players. As a spectator spectacle on TV, it's excellent, as you only need to give it attention in short bursts as well, and there's coffee/toilet breaks built in. As a strategist, there's quite a bit to appreciate in the tactical considerations and modulations.

Going along and watching it live is a real drag in my very limited experience, though.

OTOH, watching endless 0-0 results with penalty shootouts in soccer doesn't really do it for me either. Given my preference, I'd stick to rugby, the Sport of Idiots (and my national religion)

I'm sure you can still watch all-blacks games. Like the Ireland match. 🤔

Seriously though, New Zealand are the best team in the world. England have had an incredible unbeaten year but we are still a step behind the All Blacks in terms of quality.

The Lions tour should be interesting. You guys will be favourites but it will be a lot more competitive than last time.

I expect, on previous form, for the ABs to go there overconfident, and underperform - they did that last time they won the world cup :/
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@firefall: I think you are too modest. One thing that gives us a chance is the poor form of Australia and South Africa. They are playing no better than 6 nations teams and in the latter case even worse. The ABs must be strong favourites but we will see. TTYL

100% CORRECT, boring boring stop every 10 seconds, the quarterback has to take instructions from the coach every single play
Sharon4now · M
as opposed to lads mincing about in shorts and crying when they fall down?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@nedkelly: TBF, it does happen in most places these days. Brits think they are above it but we do have some players who do that.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@Burnley123: My opinion should be a automatic yellow and 10mins on the sidelines, plus the abuse of referees must be stopped
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@nedkelly: Could not agree more.

I don't like football or....."football", I like basketball and ice hockey.
sharqwe · 26-30, F

If rather play rugby, though I have played football in college days. The hype of it is really big, compared to what it really is.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
That is a fair point. :-)
I know how intense britain is about their football,so I'm just gonna stay quiet about that one.
carpediem · 61-69, M
you mean soccer.
jimjim1969 · M
American football is violent chess. It is my favorite sport.I have looked at soccer but it seems they run up and down . I don't see the point. I know when you are brought up in the sport it is different
Transformedandevolved · 26-30, M
These are the evergreen words, ladies and gentlemen!
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
Yes I am looking for a reaction. Its what us Brits call banter (friendly piss-taking).
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
firefall · 61-69, M
yup

Well I like the tight pants over the baggy shorts.

Tminus6453 · M
NFL is tops!.🏈.. soccer sucks😖
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
'Sauccer' is played the world over. American Football has a world championship involving one country.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@Burnley123: Burnley: it is not world champions it is American Champions

@nedkelly: Baseball really is called the 'World Series' though. TBF it does have one team from Canada.
