SO do you think that football is the king of sports??? and why?
I vote yes because : It is very popular not only in my country but all over the world and it’s called “The king of sports” because the tension and the adrenaline during the game make you so excited and that is why so famous all over the world and that is the reason that football is not boring.
I'd like to ask before I cast my vote: are you referring to football as in soccer (for United States folks) or football as in NFL (National Football League) where a sport in style of rugby with protective gears?
It's just that this forum is open to all nations and I can anticipate some confusion to the word "football" with certain nationalities.

He's referring to soccer, since he said in his post that it is popular not only in his country, but all countries. And footnall is only popular really in the U.s.a . Soccer is the best sport because every country plays it. No matter what ethnicity you are, you most liekly no how to play soccer!

QUOTE

NFL-type football is not that popular worldwide and more people watch FIFA type football than rugby. I'm guessing you're referring to "soccer", JackTheRipper. Yeah, I'd have to say that the beautiful game is indeed king of sports. If a billion people watch it and the largest sports contract to date was made in that sport (Beckham contract) I'd say it's well qualified for the title.
The question in my country (Australia) in regard to football is.. which type of football is popular. Down here you got Australian Rules football, Rugby union, Rugby League (League & Union are 2 completely different codes) & Soccer. Soccer has been on the rise lately considering the Socceroos appearance at the world cup, but considering the amount of bandwagon supporters around the place, with them off the soccer bandwagon, there are still an amount of casual sport fans (those that follow any code), followed by "new" soccer fans and those long term hard-core soccer fans.
But yeah, out here.. its either Australian Rules football (by far the most popular spectator sport, and junior sport.. followed by the 2 rugby codes).
I definitely would have to disagree that football (soccer in my country) is the king of all sports. It is a bit slow and a lot of controling the ball rather than taking lots of chances. I prefer hockey over soccer any day. Much more entertaining with all the hitting, fighting, break aways, etc. Plus, there is a good amount of control in it like soccer but much more shooting and oppertunity for scoring.

Many times if you look over history there have been controversial incidents within football, mainly
goals, should football, FIFA, UEFA, or the FA try and bring in new forms of technology to get these
key incidents right? The first few that bounce off the top of my head are: - Hurst vs Germany (
/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> ); 1966
Astle vs Leeds; 1971 Maradonna vs England; 1986. Leeds vs Manchester United; 2002 Pompy earlier last

This is a queston that I have been thinking about lately, What is the Greatest Sports Movie of
All-Time? Being a basketball player Hoop Dreams really won me over. This is a documentary about two
8th grade boys who try to achieve their goal and play in the NBA. The movie follows them from their
8th grade year til their freshman year in college. The boys have to overcome many struggles to try
and reach their goals. This movie has plenty of ups and downs but keeps you on the edge of your seat
wondering what will happen next for the entire three hour movie. This would have t....
So i have ( for an unknown reason ) been reading and watching quite a bit of American Football
related Fiction ( Bleachers and Playing for Pizza by John Grisham and Friday Night Lights, Remember
the Titans and Varsity Blues mainly )and a few questions have popped up: 1: What does being an All
American mean? 2: When Teams win a State title, doe they then go on to a competition between the
other State title winners to find the best in the country? 3: why are the plays so scripted, can
they not make it up on the fly? 4: In "Varsity Blues" the QB gets the clock to stop b....

of the Mizos is Inbuan, a spectacular traditional sport. Though its origin is unclear, it is

season, and we lost with the same score.... it sucked but it was fun... I'm debating whether or
not to play again next year, I have mixed feelings about it right now... I was continually getting

Right having played for a bit here's what I'm noticing. I haven't spotted a difference
with scouting. The closing down thing obv. Too many fouls from crosses. Too many penalty claims.
Seems there is plenty controversy in every game. Game seems a smidgen faster to me. Saving
especially. Scout reports that suggest a guys character is "run of the mill" is just silly. I
can't find a button that takes me to my squad page, is there one? I'd rather go to squad
page than tactics for "pick team". As in FM07 we need something between "disappointing"....

I am really surprised that thetre is no thread for this fantastic game.This is simply the best
managerial simulation of football ever.So many teams,so many tactical possibilities,very good match

Hong Kong for example! Also,there are numerous graphical add-ons for this game,like face
packs,skins,logo packs,etc. You MUST try it out as soon as possible!!! Fantastic
game!....
