Who needs football anyway?
Oct. 7th, 2007 12:53 pmI never really liked football (soccer for the Americans). I think it's boring to watch 20 men run after a ball. Okay, compared to American football it has the advantage of less breaks, less ads and more activity, there's more running going on. But I never really got into it.
However, it seems there is indeed a sport worth watching. It's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Rugby.
Oh my, those guys do look good. Love the figures.
I'll have to see whether the rules make sense - I had figured out the rules of American football while watching the Superbowl only to see more than half of the winning team leave the field quite some time before the match was over (there was no way the other team could catch up, and apparently it is not considered bad sportsmanship to go partying with the fans while the game is still on), and I even understand the offside rule in football, the most important test for a woman's understanding of the sport, so I figure I will be able to understand rugby once I start watching. I believe Eurosport broadcasts the matches.
