and this isnt a bad thing...thats one reason y a football game takes so long. |
Football (english one) is ALL about strategy. It just get tuned in WHILE the game is still going on, that's the hard part about it. Also to a non football watcher is hard to see the strategy, it just looks like 22 guys running around pointlessly, which is not the case.
Also for a non American Football watcher (ie me), Am. Football seems like they don't play, they just go to the field to chit-chat. I'm pretty sure that's not the case, but well... To many football games a week, no time for other sports :p (well maybe some nice tennnis match) |

ill admit, i dont know much about cricket... however, i highly doubt its more popular than baseball... baseball is played all through the America's, North n South... and Asia... hell, Taiwan use to be the dominant team in Little League... now its Japan thats the dominant force...

Well thats quite possible. However, cricket is the most popular sport in India (population 1.05 billion) and pakistan (population 150 million).
I've seen estimates that 60 million people or so regularly play baseball worldwide. Even if only 1 in 20 people in india/pakistan played it it would therefore still lead baseball (not forgetting that cricket is played in alot of other countries besides). |

| What's that crazy sport where they combine elements of rugby, football, and american football all into one? I think if you kick the ball through the soccer goal you get 3 points ... if you kick it through the uprights of an american football goal it's 1 point, and you might have something like a lacrosse stick to use ... can't remember. Anyway, it's the greatest sport I've ever seen. |

Well im just trying to say that calm down mate. Diff cultures also have diff senses of humour etc...
