It's a football thing. Beckham totally, utterly, and completely shanked a PENALTY kick that could've sent England on in Euro 2004.

I still don't understand, but I'm not a sports fan

Aren't you glad you've got me around Darren? ;-) I get it!

:thumbsup:

I thought Beckham was a soccer player? Or have you gone euro on us, Sharky?

I think you're deliberately trying to confuse me...

Sharkbait · Jul 1, 2004

I've gone euro. I refuse to recognize that american crap that's played with pads and helmets as "football". I'll begrudge the aussies their AFL, but that's because those guys have balls the size of cannonballs the way they play! But deion friggin sanders, sitting for an entire season because he has turf toe. Puh-lease!

I've even started watching F-1 racing. I think I was born on the wrong continent. :lol:

Lol yeah and thats why the players are falling apart physically by the time they're 30 ....with all the injuries they cop :shock: ...
but gotta give em credit for takin the batterings they do eh...
I dont mind the soccer , I'm just hardly in front of the tv to watch anything , let alone watch sport....
Actually GOING to a game ( for any sport ) is another thing altogether tho ... great atmosphere !

Dude, NFl players where pads because they take alot worse hits then in AFL. I have seen them play, i won't deny that they are real men, but its nothing like the NFL. These guys are all on horse tranqs and elephant painkillers. Steriods and all other muscle building drugs. They got guys that weight 350 smashing into you every play, and most have rock solid bodies. Those guys running into at full speed would feel like getting hit by a MACK truck.
I respect AFL as a mans sport, they do take punishment, but not like in the NFL.
