A Canadian has been on tour for 2 years promoting the World Cup.

So why did they select a Canadian to promote soccer and not a yankee doodle dandy..?

Because we're Better By birth.

A canadian bragging about winning a gold medal in hockey, is like a fat guy bragging about winning a hot wing eating contest.

my point? no one can name the winner of either. cause no one cares.

He was a baboon, not worth it pretending to be smart. Or sth.

There's a quote I like, soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen.

Cuz, despite what DB says, they're not near as brutal as they could be out there.

You must not be watching it right. These guys my brother played with in the semi-pro league had a saying - it's not a game til somebody goes to the hospital.

I remember my brother played over half a game with a broken rib and a punctured lung. They enjoyed making the other team bleed and fully expected to be bleeding before the game was over. Those guys are nuts.

tell those fat @$$ fvcks to put on some skates and then we'll see how tough they are...

hello out there
we're on the air
it's hockey night tongiht...

[The Imp]

England/USA. Fell asleep 1 - 1 in the first half. I woke up, the game was over and I missed nothing. Soccer is the only sport where you can walk away, make a sandwich, take a shit, catch a smoke and can pretty much not worry about missing a damn thing. Half the game is spent moving your ball backwards. What kind of fucking sport is it that retreating is a primary accepted tactic...a ghey one.

Sounds alot like the NFL, eh impy..?

boring as old fvck. a game of waste the clock.

its like basketball. you don't have t tune in until the last few minutes of the game as we already know they'll be lots of scoring.


the first 13 minutes of every half flies by and the last 2 minutes lasts as long as the first 13.

There is only 60 minutes in the fvcking game and a 45 second play clock, which means there is rarely more than 60 plays in the entire fvcking game.

It's sad what you yanks think is good. hockey is the only real sport with real athletes being played today anywhere on Earth. And most of the NHL players are... Canadians, of course.

but why do you have to swear when posting imper, does it make you feel all man-like..?

and what the fvck is an imp anyway..?

It's obviously brutal, but if you look at some of the people who play regularly, it's quite obvious that they could easily paralyze or kill someone if they weren't playing with a good deal of restraint.

My dad played rugby a good bit, completely ruined his knees, but it's not nearly the sort of damage that someone the size of your average rugby player could inflict on other people..

Well, since the other guys playing are equally large and brutal - that probably plays a factor in the not so many deaths thing. The fact remains those guys sustain a lot of injuries and seem to enjoy both the giving and receiving just a little too much.

The guys my brother played with couldn't even spell restraint.
