harryopal wrote Maradona? Is she that American, ageing pop star who sings "Just like a Virgin". I didn't know that she played soccer as well and does magic tricks

Haha. Very droll. A substatial proportion of the world's population will know about Maradona. How many people know about Gary Ablett or Leigh Matthews outside of Australia? Ask yourself why? Each to his own. I could bore you for hours about football and the great players I have seen. Cheers

Compared with watching the game you're talking about football and great players would probably be quite exciting

Living in Kenya it was inadvisable to go past the Nairobi soccer stadium at the end of a game as the losing fans would pour out and throw rocks at passing cars.

At least I hope that is what is played and not "We are Geelong."

Dictator Dan said not parties in Victoria, not allowed to invite anyone around to watch on TV.

Thanks Fred2. Much more interesting than actually having to watch a game of soccer.

I really have very little interest in either sport but I can wholeheartedly say rugby or even Aussie rules football is far more entertaining than soccer/football. I know no one asked for my opinion but there it is

[ATTACH type="full" alt="3390"]3390[/ATTACH]No interest for you soccer enthusiasts. No deaths just two carried off unconscious... one Richmond ... one Geelong But The Tigers did done it! Premiership winners. Three times in the last four years.

SamD wrote I say old chap, I am not going to stand for that. Soccer (as you Australians call it) is a game of subtlety and precise skills. It is more like an art form than a sport. If ypu are so lacking in imagination that you can't appreciate the sight of Maradona weaving his magic way through a defense then I feel sorry for you. Football is not just about scoring goals, it is tbe game itself.

Soccer is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans. Rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen. Soccer players are a bunch of overpaid, ignorant [I]prima donnas.[/I]
