I agree as far as Rugby is concerned.

Rugby. The sport of Kings.

Anyway... how do you guys like my "Directory of Lemuria" thread? Over 19500 characters, 3 hours of sifting though the forums...

"Rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen, whereas football is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans." - by someone.

Thats football where you mostly use your foot, to kick the ball.

[MrBaggins]

As I recall, when I played rugby... I mainly used my foot to kick the ball as well...

[Maquiladora]

Note the comma after "mostly use your foot", and i was seperating American "Football" (where they kick each other more than the ball), from real Football.

The more i hear about Iceland and it's culture the more i like it

BTW, H Tower what do you think about the latest Superbowl final and the huge victory of the Tampa Bay Bucaneers?

I don't have the occasion to see many Football matches but this one was really surprising. Were the Oakland Raiders on a bad day (and especially their Quaterback) or have they been really disturbed by a superb defense from the Bucaneers?

[Frozzy]

The TB coach was with the Raiders last year... so that may have helped. But Gannon (the Raiders QB) was up against the best defense in the NFL and the AFC defenses don't have anything near the skill of the Bucs defense. I was surprised though that the Raiders looked shocking on SuperBowl Sunday, so it's a combination of a bad day and being outclassed by the Bucs, IMO.

This is highlighted by the fact the Bucs defense outscored the Raiders offense.

The SuperBowl this year sucked, but you get one like it every few years...

The real SuperBowl was the NFC Championship match (Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

I'd like to see H Tower explain why the Bears sucked this year

[Tamerlin]

Thanks for the comments Frozzy. This game was supposed to oppose the best attack to the best defense.

The Bucaneers displayed actually the best defense and the best attack in front of disoriented Raiders.

I wish I could see more Football games but the coverage is really weak in France.

BTW Frozzy, we haven't seen you at the Rugby thread yet.

[child of Thor]

Still the game did boil down to 2 or 3 interceptions that were run in by the bucs defense. Any team that made those mistakes was going to be facing an uphill struggle.
God knows what happened to Gannon - he just stopped being that great quarterback for the most important game of the year?
Still i like Iskallins 'norse-rules' rugby best - if i'm not a crippled old man(tm) by the time i get around to visiting Iceland i'll give it a go

[Ãskallin]

yeah i'll vote for that

Let them play some Civ3 games, when they will feel the need to play a real strategy game they will come here.
