Maybe other countrys like soccer and rugby so much because its one of the few sports we DONT dominate in Another possibility is that we just like different sports so live with it [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

Or could it be the "USA is the world, anything that happens outside isn't important" syndrome rearing its ugly head again? Anyway...I can appreciate your comments about enjoying particular sports, caleb - one man's wine is another man's poison. Australians are mad about Australian Football which nobody else plays - but we enjoy watching rugby league, rugby union, cricket, basketball, American football, baseball, soccer (which we're terrible at), hockey, and ice hockey (which we don't even play but enjoy watching). It's about being a fan of competitive sports in general - and Aussies will enjoy watching any sport, as long as it's competitive, but even more so when our national teams are playing.

Glad you took it well Seriously though I think we just dont like endurance sports as much. Most of the sports we love but no other countrys play rely on short explosive plays with plenty of breaks in between for the athletes to rest up and do it again. Could be we have a shorter attention span

Well i'll be a kiwi sheep shagger. So whats your excuse for sucking at them then? [img]tongue.gif[/img] We can at least claim we suck at soccer and rugby because they are not widely popular here
