Think about this: The person proves to be an asset - the next Ole Gunnar Solskjćr or something like that. Do you think MR Ferguson would pay - lets say 50 mill. worth of shrimps to get hold of him?

Can you all be a little more specific on the football issue. For the sake of us Americans, I can't tell when some of you mean Football (American) and Football (Soccer)

Big thank you to Kirch Media GmbH for failing to pay up the TV money that was promised Now clubs have to use fish to pay for players

Can you imagine how many tons of fish Ronaldo would be worth Or Figo Or Zidane Or Pires

In Europe, football is the same as soccer. We call your football American football.

But neither of the games interest me very much. When I come to think of it I'd like to learn how to play cricket.

It's actually one of the fastest growing sports in Norway.

By the way - I've been told cricket is very difficult to learn?

I don't know why but I find it entertaining to watch.

I totally agree with you Duke. I mean, hockey on TV is just too dull compared to golf! Just see for yourself!!

Golf on TV:

American Football can be a very intense and exiting sport aswell.

Naaah it's not difficult to learn at all, fielding of course is the simplest element, catch the ball and throw it, batting is the next easiest, timing and shot placement, the hardest thing to learn is bowling, to get the right line and length to get bowlers out, but if you only want to be a batsman then you don't have to worry about bowling

Don't buy EA's Cricket 2002 (assuming you want a cricket game), it's a half finished bug ridden pile of shit, Brian Lara's cricket is better

I agree, I used to be a big fan of Gridiron when I was a kid, of course supporting the niners during the late 80s to early 90s helped Of American sports I now much prefer baseball

I'm on my schools football team. As a matter of fact we have a game tommorow. Well, it's reated moer like a scrimmage, but o well. We have fun.

[ralphwiggum 6]

have fun Harnu

and don't go, "oh no, 1 is down" when your QB gets sacked.

Football=Soccer makes sense, as it is a game where you predomintly use your feet. In American Football however, they predomintly use their hands, so it should be called American Handball

As for New Zealand, we invented the water jet motor. And then theres a very little known fact. In 1901 New Zealand inventory Richard Pearce became the first man to FLY in an PLANE. He made a plane, which went off the ground and flew for about a hundred metres. Unfortunetly there is official proof to this fact so the truth is shunned to make way for two American bicycle makers. Sorry, I just had to say that bit....

Computers came from the US.

Also i got to say hockey is hard playing sport,but those guy's are tooth-less morons ,but it's very fun to watch them get killed.America football is next.

Soccer is something weird i don't get.Watch bunch flamers get a ball run around the field,NOOO he didn't score ,GOAL he did.Sports are about hard hits,not bunch fairys running around kicking a ball saying "please don't touch me,here's the ball."  

It's like golf ,but just a bunch running.

That would depend on your definition of a computer, most here believe the one used over here to crack the enigma code during WW2 is the first real computer

For a non contact sport it's surprising the amount of broken legs, broken feet, broken ankles, etc. etc. that happen isn't it? And not a single piece of padding in sight

Nope. The thing that is called 'the first computer' was the "analytical engine" by Charles Babbage, who was British.

The whole algorithmic digital design that we use now was designed by von Neumann, who was Hungarian
