Woohoo!! I got tickets to see Wales vs Fiji on friday. Now I am not a huge rugby fan (I like it - but I am a bigger football fan...) nor am I welsh. But it is in the amazing Millenium Stadium and tickets are only £10! So I was wondering if anyone else is going to see this... I will be the guy in the Welsh stand laughing when Wales get trashed, just as they did last week!
J/K I am looking forward to it, and this thread can be discussion after the match too!
Go Wales!

yeah... difficult to make it work Tiste:p

*harf harf*

And there's me, missing out on seeing Wales v Fiji because I only managed to get tickets for Wales v Australia instead. Woe is me!!!!:Erm:

[Leoman]

I've never really been into rugby, but whenever a game is on i'll watch it. Nothing gets me pumped up more then watching guys tear each other apart

[StormofHeaven]

It's coming soon. A couple more months. Any predictions??

[Tenaka Khan]

I am not predicting anything yet, still have to suffer through two matches till I know wether Switzerland made it or not. Crossing my fingers unitl they hurt that 'we' gonna beat Turkey this Saturday...

How much were they? Are there any left? I was never into rugby much til I moved to Wales... I am really getting into it though!

England vs Brazil final. England win the world cup.
Erm... well perhaps not, but if we actually pull our fingers ou and get down to some good work, we might have a chance... *remembers painfully to the England/N. Ireland match*

[Rich the Great]

Brazil will probably end up winning, although England will get as far as the final or semis. Don't think they have quite a good enough team to take on Brazil and win.

[Cause]

could we not have found a less exciting match???? I cant control myself

[caladanbrood]

Either Argentina, Brazil or Serbia and Montenegro will win...

hey, why are you looking at me funny?:confused:

England will get to the quarters and get knocked out, I expect. On penalties, no doubt:rolleyes:

£50, and I very much doubt it. Check ticketmaster or something...
Hell, you live in cardiff. Go and ask at the stadium ticket office:p

Thankfully I'm not the one paying for my ticket though:D

I'm still wondering who would hate me more if I wore my england rugby top to the game, the Welsh or the Aussies:o

American footballers are unfit fatsoes. They stop play every 5 minutes to huddle up and shout YEAH! WOOOH! then they run for about 2 minutes and get knackered. Its dangerous cos they're afraid of getting heart attacks with all the strenuous activity.

[Cause]

1) I have no understandin of the game. In movies etc are they really speaking sense when they say pass down the line hut 77 double fake. I mean what does all that mean.

2)A game thats played for one hour should last one hour not 4.

3) I was watching the last five minutes of a game once. The team needed score one more touchdown to win. they were about 5 yards from the end zone. The querterback just took the ball and jumped over the two opposing lines. the enemy team knocked the hell out of him and I turn to my friend and say thats the worst plan I have ever seen. Turns out they won. by holding the ball over the line he scored. never touched the ground. was never really near. But the ball was over for one second. That sux

Okay, I gotta say it. It was the two other threads that inspored this one. I just don't get soccer (or "football" as you foreigners will have it). I can see how it's a great game for kids to play, but why not grow up and play proper football, American style? Rugby I can sort of understand, but I think (in spite of what rugby wimps think) American football is the real tough guy sport. If you're going to say something about the pads, they wear them because they got tired of people dying playing American football. That's honestly the reason. Football was almost made illegal at one point because it was so dangerous. Anyway, that's not the point of the thread.

Point is, did anyone see the game on Monday night? I wasn't able to watch it because they don't really broadcast Monday Night Football here. I confess I'm ready to jump on the Indy bandwagon (just like I did with KC two years ago). I like winning streaks...

Clearly both Rugby and Football are superior, as made obvious by the amount of people in the world who are interested in them compared to the amount who play American Football. For a nation with such wide reaching influence in all aspects of lifestyle, the fact that American Football has failed to spark interest in the wider world can only be because Football is a better sport. Football is the more natural game... see a ball: kick it. Its part of human nature and that's why people have done it since the dawn of time and why its still the dominant sport.
