Champions League Final

[X-Alamie/CA (Marco)]

Don't know if any of you is a football fan.

I'm an hot Inter Milan supporter and tomorrow will suffer a lot of pains in front of TV...

Well, in fact the best thing to watch football matches is to see my two-years old baby running suddenly towards the screen,
 screaming "Goal!Goal!Goal!" and raising his arms to the ceiling 

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

Hmmm...

Isn't football season over?

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

I think Marco is refering to soccer.

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

Was is das fussball?

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

Es ist eine Sportart, wo zwei Mannschaften aus elf Spielern versuchen, einen Fußball ins gegnerische Tor zu befördern..... Oder was?

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

Mien Deutch is nicht sehr gut, aber...

Fußball ist kein populärer Sport in der amerikanischen.

Warum ist es so populär in Europa?

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

Ich denke, es gibt viele Gründe dafür. Es sind die kulturellen Unterschiede zwischen Amerika und Europa. Dort ist Amerikas Kampf um seine Freiheit in seinen frühen Jahren. Aber vor allem denke ich liegt es daran, dass American Football mehr Pausen so mehr Sponsoren-Spots zeigen können, hat. Fußball wie wir sie kennen nur eine Pause in einem ganzen Spiel.

Es sagt nicht, warum Fußball in Europa beliebt ist. Aber vielleicht ist die eigentliche Frage, warum American Football ist in Amerika populär?

[X-Tuornen/LF (Geir)]

This is the The Great Beyond but football? There limits you know.

[X-Osoerde (Alan)]

Everyone loves violence, I suppose.

And everyone must have their Colosseum.

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

I think soccer promotes the socialistic agenda. It is a team sport where the individual is not as important as the team as a whole. Perhaps that is why it is so popular in Europe?

[X-Tuornen/LF (Geir)]

if your right i take it all back

[X-Coeranys/WD (Greg)]

I'm thinking the goaling is one very important individual on a soccer team... but if we accept soccer/football promotes the socialist agenda (as might many team sports under this criteria), are there sports that support the agendas of other forms of gov't?

For example, perhaps golf supports a theocratic monarchy.  Clearly there is only one important player, and while I am playing I'm constantly praying that my game improves.

Sports is not to be watched - it's to be performed...better for the physique.

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

Not sure I can agree 100 percent to that Bjørn; I've broken my left knee playing football and my right skiing which is why I now mostly swim
