I think you don't know what you talking about... it is very popular outside the u.s.

That's hand egg as I've been told.

 

[Mauser98k]

because it's way too much standing around doing nothing and far too little actual game play?

Popular yes, but far from VERY when compared to other sports we glorious Europeans enjoy. . .

I remember a couple years ago a rugby player went about shoving his fingers in opponents butt holes.

Game, Set & Match - Greg Centauro! :hatsoff:

Seriously though, American football is huge in Canada.

It probably seems quite complicated to the new viewer. It took me almost a whole season to figure out the basics, and eight years on I'm still not sure of all the rules. But it's good fun. :thumbsup: :wave2:

Yes but that was just to let Jonny Wilkinson suck on them during half time.

There's nothing wrong or untoward about that....

It is very popular. But way too damn expensive to broadcast!

Don't you have Canadian Football in Canadia?

 

[Shifty]

Don't you have Canadian Football in Canadia?

Yes, but the NFL is far more popular.

Ask me Shifty anything you want!

Hey! Don't start another one of those bloomin' threads!

You're right it was supposed to be in the Funny Pics section but I lost my bearings, I wasn't really looking for an indepth analysis of whether 'football' is actually popular outside of the US. I reported the Post immediately as being in the wrong section and has now just been moved

I love football Canadian and American. Though I have to say I do watch more American than I do Canadian. I normally wait till the play offs to watch Canadian but I watch American right from the start.

Cause they don't understand it just like Americans don't understand soccer, right?
