well, ayebee, to be fair you're the only one who's talking about beating the piss out of anything. you, or any one player in the nfl, couldn't hang out for ten minutes on a rugby pitch. and the point of the pads is that one could argue that american football, and rugby, are similar in nature. I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.

So yeah, basically the pad-wearing fact was the basis of the original argument.... where exactly are we losing you?

^ Isaac, the pads were the original argument.

yeah, the ref in the aus - crotia match is barred by FIFA now. he can't ref internationals anymore, or probably any professional matches. he was a clown though, he could have thrown out several players for attacking him. bitchmade.

Heinze should have gotten a direct red card when he took down the Mexican striker, after he made that huge blunder. It was a 1v1 he was gone and definately would have scored, which would have altered the outcome of the game... so yeah, no the reffing in that game was terrible. Argentina was getting away with murder. anybody watch portugal and the netherlands today? holy bloodbath.

a) rugby players don't abuse steroids. b) uh, yeah, rugby players are way tougher because they don't have a whistle stopping play EVERY 30 seconds. They don't stop running the whole match, give or take a few whistles, and they aren't small by any means. c) go to fiji, or new zealand, and tell them their rugby players are pussies. look at the size of the legs on some of those rugby players, probably as broad as your shoulders are.

hey dude did you ever watch BOOB ? I think that was a big brother video... it had the guy in the gold lycra body suit doing freestyle walking good video!

I'm sorry to see mexico go out like that but... the biggest suprise of that match was the inconsistent reffing. It's like FIFA wants to same 8 teams to make it to the semi's.... I'm sorry but that first half blunder by Heinze, and then the deliberate tackle to make up for it? should have been an immediate yellow card! I hope Ghana puts up a good show against brazil. without Essien they don't really have a chance but hey, we can hope for an upset! AND FUCK FRANCE! what a weaaaaaaak showing from such a "strong" team. the only victory they claimed was from fucking Togo edit: Also, you aussies, what was Hiddink thinking?! why did he not start Schwarzer????/

anyone who thinks the world cup is boring isn't watching argentina and mexico right now. its 1-1 after 8 minutes of play.

No, you guys just do it the streets because you can't get along with each other anyway. :rolleyes: the only time I've ever heard of a player being killed because of onfield action, and I definately pay more attention to the soccer world than you do, was in 94 when a columbian scored an own goal (put the ball in his own net) and cost columbia the game. They were favored to do very well and had some odds to win the cup, but that own goal cost them going any ferther in the tourny. And it wasn't an ordered hit, it happened in a night club or bar where some drunken fan recognized him and started a fight.

makros can't handle people having fun.

psycroptic are from australia, so is harry kewell. they are both OK with me.

fuck that's a good episode

my dude, real work? don't you work at home depot?

or take your dose, and just start smoking crack/shooting heroin. you'll stay plenty skinny if you do either, or both, in excess.
