Aussie Football

All this jabbering about Football and no one has mentioned TRUE football, as in the English Premier League. :hell:

I've been in the States for ages and still don't understand your version of Football....15 minutes total action intertwined with 3 hours of cheap beer commercials. And then they make up all these fancy rules, which I interpret as - after some fat guy runs over the line with the ball in one hand there's a short dance, then they pick a thin guy who can scratch his own forehead with his toes without bending his knee, to kick the ball at the opposing team who must all rush at him angrily. Then a team of retired prison guards run onto the field throwing hankies around and waving all the flies away. After the dead and injured have been removed from the field on golf carts there's a brief radio announcement made to the crowd by the chief prison guard who either gets cheered or yelled at based on the quality of his speech. Then it all starts over with the other team now in possession of the ball.
At the end of the season the two fattest teams get together and have a "Super Bowl Party" and a prize is awarded to a bunch of fat blokes from the Midwest, who never technically cleared 8th grade, but are somehow crowned "Champions of the World". It makes no sense to me but then what do I know????

I need plastic surgery to wipe the grin from my face! That was gold thankyou :rofl:
 
I wish there was more american football on free to air australian tv. Used to have foxtel and watch it. It's quite entertaining until you catch a live game with none of the pauses edited out :eek:

If you want real Aussie football you need to watch rugby league. Those princesses in their tight shorts that play afl are just that, princesses! :lol:

Sadly, most Aussies say that Football/Soccer is played only by sheilas, wogs and poofters.

That's because it is. :party:
"Owww my leg, I think I broke it... Guys, I need a stretcher" :violin:

Naw, but on a serious note, I have never been enthralled by soccer... To each his own I guess.
 
Aussie Football, and I quote - "Tight-fitting shorts were a notable fashion trend in most leagues in the 1980s and some players began to wear hamstring warmers and lycra.

I used to watch english football but the whole "he breathed on me and now my legs in agony" thing is just too pathetic to watch.

Has anyone noticed that aussie rules and rugby league and union can be summed up as "guys running to each other for hugs" ??
 
:rofl: I just dont get elite sports at all. The players add nothing of importance to society and get paid hansomly for it. Bring back the days of full time jobs and playing foosball for the love of the game and not the money.
