Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

College or NFL? Which do you prefer and why?

you mean American footbal, the one I know forbiddes using hand and ball if you arent goal keeper?

NFL
I have only seen one game but it looked pretty cool.

Im Australian so I play AFL.

bah! humbug!!! American football is just a way of finding yourself an identity after the break with the English crown... naaah, soccer is the game! (although I am more into hockey)

American FootBall RULES!

It is the most popular sport in america right now. More people watch it than anything else. I like college and NFL. College kicks off this weekend with the NFL next week. I will be participating in 2 fantasy football leagues this year.

Well the football season in australia is almost finished so Im getting ready for a relaxing season of cricket

a sport that is only popular in one country can't be titled "RULES"... that is for certain...

I used to watch alot of NFL many years ago here in the UK, but now I have strangely got out of the habit. I really enjoyed the game, exciting too watch, my favourite team was the Miami Dolphins, my favourite player was Dan Marino. There were other great players like Joe Montana, Walter Payton and 'The Refrigerator',

I tried watching the world cup but just couldn't do it. A game where the average score is 1 to 0 just doesn't do it for me. Football does RULE in america, here are some stats to back it up.

Navajo Joe - I loved football back then too. Joe Montana was my favorite player.


y2day

as I said, I am more of a hockey fan... and hand ball is quite exciting also.... 40+ goals and it can turn any time.... =)

I was at the world cup for the first few matches and with that new ball everybody seemed to make mistakes they wouldnt normally make. Plus the vuvuzelas were awful.
