Football is the most media hyped load of crap ever... Its got to the stage where in the world cup a man will fall over and play dead for 10 mins when he is hit by the football from 15-20 yards to get someone from the opposing team sent off. . . . I love international rugby because its just like war with rules... Its 80 mins of pure commitment, skills, passion, power etc football - occasionally gets exciting - last real excitement 1996 we had a good england manager we played beautiful football for a whole tournament and were robbed a european championship by a post and gazza being short and fat. these days football is all about cash rugby for the win Oh and england are indeed playing depressingly badly at the moment.
