manchester united! or, if we're talking american futball, SNOOOOOOORE. the only sports i follow are baseball and hockey. there's something about american football that i find slightly repulsive... all those manly men... sweating and grunting... in tights and shoulder pads... and the audiences are worse. beer bellies... tail-gate parties...

C'mon now, ladies, football is not boring! Neither is baseball. I look forward to fall (my favorite season, by far) and football season every year, starting in about January.

Now if you want to talk boring, what they dare to call football outside the U.S. (soccer. ugh.) is about as boring as it comes.

Manchester United... seriosuly? Well, someones got too... not like anyone in Manchester does! Bayern Munich (sp?) are the only remotley interesting team in German football from my p.o.v and everyone should support Chelsea... god bless Frank Lampard... the man is a genius! As for American footbal... you can tell me who to support lol!

FC Bayern, has nowhere near the history that 1860 Munich does

However KSC (Karlsruhe SC) IST AM BESTEN!

whoever said soccer is boring obviously has neever seen the game played

WILDPARK STADION, JA!!!!

Oh, I've seen it played alright, and stand by my assessment. I've found hopscotch more exciting.

Please do not soil a conversation about American football with talk of soccer.

This is America: we don't watch soccer here. It's bad enough we're allowing the next generation of children to think it's ok to enjoy soccer.

As a great man once said regarding soccer's lack of popularity in America: Anytime the ball hits you on the head, that's dumb.

And that great man ... his name was Gallagher. :)

So Liotte - you ARE a football fan...all that malarkey about having to work the games and requesting us to schedule the next picnic around games because of WORK...was malarkey, eh?

STEELERS!!!! I've been cheering for them for as long as I can remember. On a college level I hold a special place in my heart for WVU Mountaineers, there was a time when I was convinced I would be the first girl to play for them.

In terms of soccer I'm partial to A.C. Milan.

what do you mean this is America... it's the internet mate... as in world wide avaliable etc! Why the hating of soccer? American football is just rugby with padding... can't you handle the real game

I can't think of a more boring game than American football. I love baseball, though (even if it should be changed to 6 innings.) Also love ice hockey (yeah, it's coming back) and, of course, soccer.

**blushes** I don't think American football is boring, it can be hard to follow, but it's certainly not boring IMO.

Rath, I never claimed a team for myself! I do enjoy watching football though, some of those players are so hot :)

Hmm, well if it is Pro-Football I don't find it as enjoyable, much as with soccer growing up in the southern US culturally sports are huge but it was College then pro, I never even heard anything about pro soccer until high school.
Anyway I like the Falcons and Colts.
But the University of Georgia Bulldogs, thats the team I really care about the outcome for. (Which incidentally seems not to be so bright this year )

Huskers playing Iowa State today in Lincoln. Struggling with a few big mistakes, dropped ball in the endzone.
