You had the crowd...

You had the referee...

But you didn't have the team!

Go BLACK!

What's going on in that picture, some sort of mating ritual? Why would that need a referee?

Its real sport SOB, you know that thing where you don't stop every 15 seconds for a rest, where you don't dress up in padded gear and helmets, and don't swap your team over every other minute

Oh, and where a World Cup really means teams from other countries actually play!

My thoughts exactly! -And a man dressed up as a humbug appears, blowing a whistle, waving his arms, and (occasionally) throwing a yellow handkerchief onto the pile of men as they rest!

BTW - I really did LOL when I read that!

Don't continue to try and confuse them. That could be cricket, rugby or (real) football.

It's ok. In America, sports are designed with commercial breaks in mind. Can't go 45 minutes without seeing a few mindless 'messages' can we?

It was a good game. Thought we might have stole it back in the end 5 mins.

What I find funny about Americans and sport is that they know nothing of other games like Rugby, Cricket even though these games are played in many different countries around the world. But when they stage a sporting contest of a game played only in the USA, they give it a grandiose title like "World Series".

Toronto, last I checked, is not in the USA.

And folks think that Americans are geographically challenged.

He's in charge of making sure they act studmuffingy enough.

The "World Series" is so named because the newspaper that sponsored it called itself The World.
Pom needs some history lessons too.

Furball · « **Reply #12 on:** November 20, 2005, 05:30:31 AM »

forgive us for talking about a subject which does not involve the USA. how foolish of us. please forgive us, we will try not to do it again

beet1e · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2005, 05:54:49 AM »

LOL HMcG - just checking to see if you were paying attention! I should have said "America". How many non-USA teams play in the "World" Series? Am I right in thinking it's.... 1?

No...someone needs to stop believing things because they read it on the internet.
