It was reported this morning that heart attacks increased 25% in GB after England was beaten by Argentina in the 1998 World Cup.
It would seem that soccer is dangerous and causes an unacceptable number of deaths.
Merry Christmas Toad & Lazs

Mazzy,
got that right ol boy, Footnall it is.
you yanks have got it backwards, you call football something that you throw, catch and run with.
hands is not a foot, well in the other english speaking countries it isn't, maybe an american thing.
-

We run with our feet carrying a ball, hence "football".
Who says the game must be called after the body part that is used to immediately propell the ball?
I would personally call it after the bodypart that decides which way the ball should be propelled - "headball" or more precisely "brainball". :D

Saurdaukar: First time Ive heard American football called "Brain" anything. :p
Come on - brain is very important for sexual function and hand-eye coordination among other things... :D
I just did not want to go more specific than "brain". But if I did, who's to say I would call it "Frontal Cortex Ball"?

I can't believe that the "home office" is allowing this carnage to continue! It's an outrage.

"Nah, we dont insult ourselves by spelling in vastly inferior third world languages."
Ok, well English is the result of 10% Latin(Romans), 5% Galic(Natives), about 70% German (Saxons), and a little French (Normans) mixed in for good measure. Which one were you refering too?
Be a man. Play Football American Style :mad:

remember here in england there are Technically 2 types of football, though we call them " football" and "rugby" (of which there are two types)
thry are:
1: Football, the beautiful game, is a game of kicking a ball , the "football" with your foot, and scoring "Goals", with skill and team work.
2: Rugby Football , which is a game split into 2 distict types, "Union" and "League"
"Rugby Union" is the more traditional form of the game, quite complicated and involving more stops for weird none understandable stuff. team split into Forwards (big slow guys) and backs (faster guys), although the difference is starting to become harder to tell see 'Jona Lomu'
"Rugby League" a more free flowing game involving more running where the team in controll of the ball is allowed to be tackled 7 times before haveing to hand over control of the ball to the oposition. The two types forward and backs are less defined they are all just big and fast.
your "American football" is more bastardisation of our rugby (more like League) and nothing to do with actuall "football" or soccer as you call it.
If you want to see something watch 'Jona Lomu' of the 'new zealand all blacks' (F@@KING huge guy that can run very fast) run havoc with the ball, quite a spectacle and no pads/helmets in sight (to the dismay of the poor guy/guys trying to tackle him) :D

If you're gonna report something atleast get it right.
The risk of having a heart attack increased 25% during and immediately after the penalty shootout against Argentina.
Ban penalties? sure why not, England suck at them anyway.:)
