I missed it as I was only 8 in 1980 ! Buttwoman has a santas helper outfit but cant get it over her arse anymore lol. Im going to get it on her though !!!!

"a working class game". Can be played with absolutely no uniform expense (yes, barefoot is OK) which cannot be said for football or Ice Hockey.

This is a debate that will never be solved or proven, one side thinks one way and the other side thinks the other way. This will never change and nobody is going to convince anybody any different. We Americans like the toughest sport there is and that is American Football. The football players have to think more than soccer players.. In soccer they just run around and try to score. If you can make heads or tails of anything. The only time they have to use their head is to hit the ball with it. I know that is an extreme viewpoint but whatever. I did like playing soccer in PE at school. I know I will get shit about this, but it is just a another Americans biased viewpoint. I am not saying this to piss off our European friends. Lest just agree to disagree, that is the only way to solve this issue. The one sport (if you can call it a sport) that I don't get is wrestling. I agree some things are real but the vast majority is just a bunch of hype in order to keep the sponsors and fans happy. It is not a true sport in the sense of the way people would describe a sport. I don't beleive they should waste the schools money to have in our schools. Why would a couple of sweaty guys rolling around and shit be a sport. I refused to do it when I was in school, because it should of been up to the individual and not mandatory. I just could never understand it. At least in an organized sport, no matter what sport, people learn to work together as a team and that is far more important towards the aspect of real life. I am sorry Bushape but I must really disagree with your statement "We Americans like the toughest sport there is and that is American Football" . No offense to you or my American Friends but we British have the toughest sport in the world RUGBY !! There is more play more action AND NO PADDING just raw muscle and bones now thats tough and also NO ADVERTS. baldiemeat you didnt look at my post it has been scientifically proven that american football players hit much harder than rugby players the pads cause for more force in it believe it or not. and that you feel a bigger hit even with pads in football than rugby. so sorry to have to disagree and no offense to you europeans football is tougher. and also think there are people playing in it that are close to 400 lbs with the pads and its not fat its muscle get tackled by one of those guys and tell me how you feel(i reread this and it seemed like an attack on baldie but it is just a point and dont want it taken the wrong way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a bigger hockey fan than of the two sports in this debate, along with Rugby it has to rate up there with toughness and quick thinking!! Much similar to the play of soccer with the hard hitting of football and rugby. Ya, there's some pads, but a puck to the head would severely shorten a career! Need the "foot" talent of the soccer player, quickness (better have or get leveled - see below) and the toughness of all of them!! Go Red Wings!!
