Uh-oh........ a yank talking cricket? :laugh:, lol. I see ESPN show tiny bits of it but I can't see that sport EVER, ever, ever, eveeeerrrr taking off in the U.S. Unless it's Poly's playing Samoan Cricket....................at the local park, lol.

fuck cricket & rugby they're both terrible ass sports

i can agree with that although i do know a few people that play rugby and enjoy it i have no time for either...which coincidentally blows this whole patriotic arguement out of the water
--- End quote ---
LOL, because you have "no time for it" that means the patriotic argument is out? How?
Just because you have no time for it, doesn't mean you don't love it; it also doesn't mean you wouldn't defend it if I was to go on about how awful they are in comparision to American sports.

lol no
i would rather play basketball than either
id probably prefer to play rugby over nfl as it wouldnt involve me taking steroids but tell the truth in terms of watchin either sport their both tied(i.e i wouldnt watch either)

--- Quote ---I love the Cup because it stripped away all the things about professional sports that I've come to despise. No sideline reporters. No JumboTron. No TV timeouts. No onslaught of replays after every half-decent play. No gimmicky team names like the "Heat" or the "Thunder." (You know what the announcers call Germany? The Germans. I love this.) No announcers breathlessly overhyping everything or saying crazy things to get noticed. We don't have to watch 82 mostly half-assed games to get to the playoffs. We don't have 10 graphics on the screen at all times. We don't have to sit there for four hours waiting for a winner because pitchers are taking 25 seconds to deliver a baseball.
The World Cup just bangs it out: Two cool national anthems, two 45-minute halves, a few minutes of extra time and usually we're done. Everything flies by. Everything means something. It's the single best sporting event we have by these four measures: efficiency, significance, historical context and truly meaningful/memorable/exciting moments. You know ... as long as you like soccer.
