[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 658635, member: 38640"] Meh, not sure I should bother biting but may as well. Here are some fun football facts: [URL]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2357453/Brazilian-referee-beheaded-Angry-fans-head-stake-stabbing-player.html[/URL] Ahh, the beautiful game. Also interestingly, football is the only sport which has had an offial war named after it. The "Football War" between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969, due to immigration tensions between the two, combined with results from the 1970 FIFA World Cup - resulted in war in which over 3,000 died. People who say Pele has done more to promote peace than any politician anywhere, are f*cking retarded. You do realize football was spread through the same process of colonization as rugby right...Your opinion of the "upper-class" sports game is so far removed from the reality of most rugby players. You think it is only played amongst the upperclass of New Zealand? Australia? United States, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga? You're an idiot. Nothing about soccer or rugby is inherantly better. Soccer has all the problems of rugby, increased by scale.. [/QUOTE]
