Interrestiong how Soccer is not a real sport while the World Championship Soccer is the most watched more-day event except for the Olympic
And how the European Championship Soccer is the Third most watched more-day event.
Also It's interesting that American Football is a rip-off of Rugby Which in my opion is a much better sport then American footbal, that is played almost no-where except in the US

Then again
the Americans Chose Bush so how smart are they...

if you really want to know the truth

American football is a sport invented by americans because the rules of Rugby were to complicated for them...

Hmmm . . . just like a European to say such a thing. As if sport were about making complicated rules. Talk about missing the point.

That's exactly what I thought when they were beaten 3-2 by Bolton in their last game.

Stick to one club Memnoch - I know you support Spurs

At the risk of getting slaughtered by the millions of Man Utd fans out there I don't think they'll win the champions league I reckon Liverpool, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid will.

Utd have got real defensive problems at the moment, and noone world class up front to go with van nistelrooy.

I think Madrid will leak goals because their midfield is too attacking (Its good though) and Bayern Munich are a bit pedestrian and getting old with a lot of players the wrong side of 30.

Liverpool just need to sort out their keeping-they bought two goal keepers on Friday and they have quality hard working recognised internationals across the field.

It just depends on how many games they have to play-they were in three cup finals last year and their players looked exhausted at the end.

Incidently I'm a Spurs fan and we definately aren't winning anything ho hum..
At last - a Spurs fan, now I can start to enjoy myself. Hey Tuor do you like my sig
