I've recently become a fan of Gaelic football on Setanta, and have always enjoyed watching rugby, last year i was introduced to Barclay's premier league football.

Play up Pompey!

what do you watch, why are they so different from the typical American sports and why do their players seem so much more, energetic than ours?

or any other discussion about these sports(or others) you may want to contribute to a yank who's just entering the wide world of sports?

The Prem is the most exciting football league in the world. Unfortunately FSC and Setanta have divided rights to the games. So even between the two of them, you won't get to see every game you want.

And their players are more energetic because it's more physical. A football pitch is a lot larger than a basketball court and involves just as much running. American football, while physical, does not require all players to a side be able to run constantly for 90+ minutes.

The problem you encounter when talking to foreigners about footie is that they obviously think it's the greatest sport in the world. The problem with talking to Americans about it is that they think it's a sport for fags and that American football is the greatest in the world. Neither side is able to admit that each sport has its merits.

If you ever have any problems getting games you want, let me know. I know a couple of free streams a friend of mine puts up. He's a Spurs fan, but he's okay for a jew.

what about the south african springboks, they're an attractive looking team...

springboks

i think they're the team i'm looking for?

i'm still really hooked on the tongue and attitude

Who did you draw in the FA Cup? We got Villa away.

I'm petitioning the BBC to be one of the people that draws the name balls next season.

i haven't had the time to keep up to date...the first game i've seen so far since i've had my tv is west ham against everton, pompey doesn't have a game until early am tomarrow.

i seem to enjoy watching rugby much more however...

i watched the rbs in south america, only to find out the springboks weren't in the tournament.

they're not big on cheerleaders are they?
