Also, play stops all the time and then some time gets added on arbitrarily. If someone would be in charge of stopping/starting the clock after celebrations, arguments and fake injuries, the game could be played 90mins without some bullshit 'stoppage time'.

Basically, every argument about why football is a superior sport has been proven to be bullshit by this World Cup.

So now that the world cup is over, the football seasons will be starting in a few weeks. Even though England played shite, a lot of the players who played WELL in the World Cup play in the Premier League in England. If you fancy your chances at this years fantasy football, then the details are HERE. Its a mixture of luck and judgement so you can still do well even if you dont know what youre doing! The more the merrier! And if you need help there are veterans of the last few seasons here to help out.

No.

What's been proven is that some of us can only appreciate one sport.

Whereas others are happy seeing the best and the worst in any sport.

For example - when I think NFL - I think 3 hours sitting on the couch talking shit with a mate, eating pretzels and drinking light beers, and arguing about TV replays, wondering where Doug Williams ended up, and laughing at what a dumb ass Leon Lett was/is.

When I think football - I think a session at the pub, talking shit with mates, drinking pints, a couple of packets of crisps and abusing the ref, remember the greatness of the Arsenal offside trap of the early 90's - laughing at Ronaldo, discussing why Chelsea fans are pillocks and so on.

When I think rugby - I think mates, cheering the haka, beers, drinking with the opposing fans, a few songs, and beers, hearty banter, big hits, several "smashed 'em bro!" moments, some more beer, telling the ref to fuck off - and then shutting up when you watch the replay. Good times basically.

It's all about perspective BLD - it's only a game after all.

I have enjoyed watching this World Cup - not just because of the All Whites - I reckon it's not been an all time classic - but it's all good - only 4 more years till the next one.

Thoughts turn now to watching some of the Tour at 6am in the morning - the Premiership is almost upon us, and my fantasy squad of mid-table no-hopers is due to be assembled for pre-season drinks - and for those of you that missed it - the Tri-Nations has begun. And the Blackness open their 2010 campaign by beating the Bokke comprehensively. As I said - good times!

Bakkies Botha - munter of the season award (so far). Cowan held his jersey - Botha decided to take it on himself to sort Cowan out - Botha ended up with a sore head - and a 9 week suspension.

See - you can't do that in football or NFL can you.
