Swedish football

[Svenskaflicka]

In the funniest program on Swedish TV today, they mentioned that the Swedish football player Henke Larsson, when shooting a penalty shot against the opposite team, has the habit of grabbing the men of the opposite team between their legs in order to confuse them, so that he will be able to make a goal.

I'm going to start watching football games from now on...








According to the host of the show, the players of the opposite teams felt very hurt when Henke Larsson didn't call them back...

I'm afraid you've got a long long way to go before they'll let you into a real football ground Flicka.
a)you don't shoot a penalty shot, penalties are simply taken and always against the opposing team and
b)grabbing men between their legs is known as the 'offside trap'

Unless you learn simple things like this then you will be forever forbidden from football grounds (saccer to our yankee chums) because you are too much of a girly.

There is only one reason and one reason alone that V.Beckham is allowed into Old Trafford (where her husand plays for The Scum) and that is that she is so hideously thin that anyone sat on either side of her can't actually see her.

Yes son

I've heard this, Victoria is so thin if she sits in a certain way with her ribs showing through and her tongue sticking out, she's often mistaken for a zip fastener.

Yes Svenska, grabbing an oponent by the goolies would be a foul move in UK soccer games, could even result in a red one, card that is.

One of these days I am going to sit through a whole game of what the rest of the world calls football. Damn I still can't believe the Cowboys cut Emmitt. Better than watching Curling in Canada though. Except the women's curling....man the way those butts go when they sweep that ice!!!

Svenskaflicka,

Don't let those soccer-type football fancy folks get you down. Once TheEarl shows up, I'm sure he'll agree that if you can't play "real" football (the types found in Australia and the States) then the only skull cracking, eye gouging, bone breaking, crippling-type, permanent injury producing sport worth fooling with is Rugby. 'Cause as everyone knows, Rugby is played with leather balls.

Quite so and they're better shaped balls, much more of a natural feel.

You don't want to watch football (Yank translation: sahca). Watch a real sport like rugby. Lots of muscley men covered in mud. Going to watch my next game SF?

Amuses me to show Americans rugby. So used to the 20 tonnes of padding in Yank football, they actually wince at every tackle. Considering showing one of my American friends a game of Aussie Rules.

Do rugby players grab the players of the opposite team between the legs, Earl?

 

[pop_54]

Haha

Do rugby players grab the players of the opposite team between the legs, Earl?

I think Earl will confirm, in Rugby we get grabbed by any available part, and there is very little sexual involved unless you enjoy being hurt, (a lot) by some 6' 5" 18 stone bundle of fun and games.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Well, see, the only reason why I would watch a sport event of any kind, would be to see muscular men in shorts running around grabbing each others' goodie bags.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Sort of a live peep-show.

I said you were TOO MUCH of a girly. Quite a few swearing chanting and off-side-rule-knowing girls watch football.

As an example a current TV commercial in England is a boy taking his girlfriend to her first soccer match wearing replica shirts and as they approach the ground the girl tells her boyfriend that he will have to take her home immediately because she'd just spotted someone wearing exactly the same top.

That is too girly.

And v.funny.

they actually used to show australian rules football on tv over here, and occasionally rugby. i always thought it was pretty interesting, but i never had a chance to watch enough of either to understand them fully.

all i got from it is that(besides fromthe padding) there's more kicking and different scoring. what is it, 5 points for a try or whatever instead of six(over here) for touchdown?

that's about it.

oh, and we do have a rugby league, but i have no idea where or when they play. they're not exactly a big deal over here. more of a novelty.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Note to self: hot chocolate and garlic rolls DO NOT make a great combo.

Rugby league isn't worth watching. If you're going to watch rugby, watch the original, not a watered down set of wannabes.
