To find that you seem to share my opinion of European sports is really quite surprising.luddite wrote:Come on Mrjism you'll have to try better than that
You've just moved up a notch of two in my view. 
Of course if you're just trying to placate me.... 
PS: I would never wind you up, you're too much like the "Energizer Bunny" already.

Yup, European football (Soccer), golf and Ballet all have the same things in common; a lot of moving around and no excitement. Well, OK, European folk DO get excited, it's just that they get excited over some really DULL things.
We would have really loved to get excited over wretsling, boxing with predefined winners, Baseball with doped players, "World Series" which are only played by northamerican teams and other such "highlights".
But sadly our attention lasts longer than 20 minutes, and we are even able to celebrate a draw (OH NO!) as an exciting game.
But then again we also dont need to show nipples in our half-times to get people excited.
Here in Finland, I have done everything I can to blend-in with the Finns, I've changed my hair color, wore differnet clothes, got different
Police to let England fans smoke dope
From NICK PARKER in Portugal
ENGLAND fans will be allowed to smoke dope before Sunday’s crunch clash with France — to keep them calm.
Cops in Lisbon plan to crack down on drunk supporters while turning a blind eye to those spotted puffing on a spliff.
Pot-smoking fans have been assured they will not be arrested, cautioned — or even have their drugs confiscated.
Last night experts said the Portuguese police’s “Here We Blow” policy would reduce chances of a punch-up between rival fans.

I was born and grew up in England so that's for info basically. All family older than me are Scots, so I always supported Scotland.
In fact living abroad for years I'm not bothered about the difference between Scots/English etc.

If watching men run and kick each other in the shins for twenty minutes (or even longer) is what gets you excited, then it's no wonder that exposed nipples just don't do it for you.pierrot wrote:But sadly our attention lasts longer than 20 minutes, and we are even able to celebrate a draw (OH NO!) as an exciting game.

Like you however, I really would like to see some U.S. baseball teams go up against some of those Japanese teams. In most cases, I think I would put my money on the Japanese.Hehehe...I now have a new nickname in my local..."The White Witch"
I correctly predicted the England vs. France and Sweden vs. Bulgaria final scores. I just wish I had put a tenner on @ the bookies and IIRC, I was very close in predicting an earlier England friendly match final score...(there's a thread on here somewhere about it)
Women's intuition or what?
