geeks are not known for their aptitudes at sports... nonetheless, there are some of us who do like sports, and like to get sweaty and dirty... so, why not get a bit off-topic and discuss about our favourite sports?

Soccer sucks.. The greatest sport ever created is football.. then basketball..

Member Avatar for ndeniche

yeah... i love watching football...although i will have to disagree with you... soccer doesn't suck... it's great...

i like watching all kinds of sports but especially tennis and formaula 1. then soccer, rugby and cricket.
by the way jocamps. if you are reading this and if you watch rugby. good luck on saturday. you guys are going to need it. that might be only a b team we are sending over but i think that it has the potential to beat anyone in the world. in fact i think that many guys playing in that b team is better than those in the real team.

I love most racquet sports. Tennis, badminton, squash, racquetball... don't know why, but they have a great appeal to me.

I love soccer.
Well, here in Spain " football" means soccer as well. :)

I like 'tap fingers on the keyboard' and 'sleep for minimum 10 hours' the most. They are so very constructive games, don't know why, but they have a great appeal to me.. ;-)

Member Avatar for joshSCH

*COUGH yes, but your initial joking around about me joking would have implied that in fact, I was not joking, but was serious about you joking about joking *COUGH

i've always dreamed on racing a formula 1 car... or at least a rally race... i'm addicted to speed...

I drive an '87 Nissan Pathfinder and i race it to 180 kph... imagine how i would grab a nascar racer...

by the way nieves, i guess in all spanish-speaking countries soccer is known as football... since it's not common to play football (american) in any latin or latin-american countries...

i don't even think they play outside america...

Wait a minute..., no one was laughing. Lots of coughs though. Are you guys getting sick?.

I guess the whole world calls soccer football.What do they call NFL?

Member Avatar for Infarction

American football :P

Member Avatar for maravich12

Should've known.They say that the most popular sport for kids to play nowadays is soccer........or football if outside the us.........but it really doesn't seem like it since I see basketball hoops in every driveway.

Member Avatar for ndeniche

but... have you seen them being used?

i'd say that is because soccer goals would obstruct vehicles if installed in the middle of a street...

Member Avatar for joshSCH

Soccer is not popular here at all.. basketball, football, and baseball. It's much easier to play with a football or baseball.. nothing is required.. basketball requires basketball goals, and soccer requires at least something designating a goal.

commented: true....soccer is scarce +2

I remember doing that all the time, in front of my house when I was a kid.
And for ball, we would have a bunch of plastic bags in a bundle.

Member Avatar for ndeniche

i didn't get the idea of the plastic bags in a bundle? how did you do that?

near my house there were several (i don't know what do you call them, but they're like really small stores, to buy things like milk, candies, and basic stuff...) stores, where they had a bag full with about 20 or 30 plastic footballs... costing each about $.10... after that, we started buying leather balls...

Member Avatar for maravich12

Yeah....you never hear anything about the soccer league except for the David Beckham thing.They never show it on tv.
