Football!. For boys and men not man enough to play real rugby.

And who’d want to play baseball?. Boring sport based on an English girls game. With a bit of cricket thrown in. Dullsville.

A bunch of fat or steroid guys taking 3-4 hrs to hit a small ball?

BORING

A bunch of fat guys running around a field throwing around a pigskin for 4 hrs?

BORING

To be fair, paint drying is still more interesting than baseball and takes less time to happen than it or an average NFL game.

Meh, youre there already.

Football (rugby for wimps) with its cute pads. And baseball hardly has ‘athletes’, does it.

Well done, you picked one of the two matches in this WC which haven’t been cracking games.

This WC has been great so far, the games have been edge of the seat stuff. Comebacks, shock results, great goals and play. Best WC since France 1998 imo.

My Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian forebears would probably not shed a tear if Russia got their head handed to them ...

(Come to think of it... ;)

At one time, I was a huge Astros baseball fan. I always defended the game against people who called it boring. I remember watching a 20 inning Astros game until 2:00 A.M. and loving it. Now, I can scarcely get through a game. I wish I still enjoyed it, but I don't.
