[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 766465, member: 12207"] I love rugby, but I don't but that "you need to be more internationalised" argument for sport. If anything I think other countries have much less individual character in sporting terms precisely because they have nothing unique in footballing terms and just have soccer. As much as people like to bag the US, American Football is far more intrinsically American than soccer can ever be Brazilian. Taking the analogy of languages, the former is its own language altogether, whilst the latter is little more than a local dialect. [/QUOTE]
