You've heard of Pele, right? Best was greater than Pele. He's an incorrigable drunk now, sadly

There is no soccer, except in the US.

Wait a minute.
Don't the commonwealth states have Rugby teams as well? The new zealand national team i hear is very good.
How do they call it?
Soccer or football?"Military training has three purposes: 1)To save ourselves from becoming subjects to others, 2)to win for our own city a possition of leadership, exercised for the benefit of others and 3)to exercise the rule of a master over those who deserve to be treated as slaves."-Aristotle, The Politics, Book VII

Er......rugby!
If you want the full name it's rugby football - there are even two flavours: Union and League. BTW, right now it's the one sport that England is the best in the world at (rugby union, that is; we'll gloss over League as an Aussie might be reading this!)
As for American 'football', it's origins lie in some Yank Ivy Leaguers who were studying at either Oxford or Cambridge in the last Century and took their version of rugby to the States. They seem to have left in the violence and removed the skill from the game though. And what are those nancy motorcycle helmets all about?

That is one sport i'd like to try my hand at.
Understandably in greece there are few(none to be more precise) chances for someone to play rugby.

Talking about basketball, we played against the so-called "dream team" some minutes ago...Basketball is the game down here.
Wanna know the score? 40 points of difference? 30? 20?
NO SIR. only 8
USA 94 - Argentina 86
It´s official... the "Dream Team" concept is dead

ahem.....even though I was a willing participant in this OT sportsjacking, I am duty bound to remind us all that WWII-1979 graphics are the subject of this forum. That is all.
