What makes America great? Simple. We are the only major country to realize how boring soccer is. That's right. Soccer is a failure in the U.S., and for good reason. The athletes are long-haired, smelly deadbeats and the game involves an hour and a half of guys running around -- all for a 0 - 0 tie. Soccer "by the numbers" 2) Number of joints smoked by a typical soccer player after a game. 5) Number of years until MLS is a distant memory. 3) Bars of soap needed to sustain a soccer team for an entire season. 8%) Percentage of soccer-playing kids who have the necessary skills to play baseball. 1-0) Score of a typical World Cup slugfest

What about Baseball? Rounders more like... A game played only by americans and British school kids <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote Don't forget the glorious sporting institution that is 'The World Series' in rounders, where teams from all over 'the world' compete in the USA for the title of 'World Champions'... Have any actual non US teams ever played in this?

Woohoo! A convert to the gentle thwock of leather and willow. If I move to the States I will be joining (or starting if I have too goddamit!) an ex-pat Cricket team just to remind me to keep the lip (upper) stiff and my spine straight as is the wont of most Brits...(oh aye yeah)

I only lasted a few weeks as the maori's in the team just threw me about like a wank rag. Those guys are fucking huge, but really nice usualy. Much better than the drunken stinking abos that we have here.
