Who else is into it then?

And as for the rest, greater skill strategy, well I suppose so if sticking your hand up a guys arse while shouting numbers...oh forget it!:yuk

New England Patriots?

Haha! Soccer is the fastest growing sport in Australia, they hate America by the way, I should know, I'm married to one! Iraq just won the Asia soccer finals, never heard a peep out of them about gridiron! Japan is mad on soccer, they co hosted the world cup a few years ago and Gary Linekar got them so mad on it they started their own, rapidly growing league. Sorry. American football is widely dismissed outside of the USA!

No offense Peter, but I know of a few Australians that are quite fond of America.

I've wached Soccer before, pretty boring to me. American Football is more exciting and fun to watch

explain the offside rule

It just means no opposing player without control of the ball can camp out in front of the other teams goal, between the defenders and said goal. They can't wait there to receive the ball.

You didn't actually want that explained, did you

If you feel like telling me more, I'll listen. I actually watch it quite a bit. I'm not looking to start anything on the "which game has more merit" topic, but soccer seems more intricate then American football to me. Plus it amazes me that everyone can run that entire time with limited substitutions.

Yeah, everyone here is mad on it and you can always find people glued to the game on telly and passionately discussing it down the pub!

Give her a break! I think she did a good job of explaining it seeing its well known the women arn't supposed to understand the off-side rule!
