I don't mind watching a good game.....sometimes you can get a glimpse of the guy that isn't wearing underwear!
We lost again today, I am beginning to think most of our team wear nothing underneath, they sure can balls things up? LoL
Just finished watching Celtic defeat Feynoord of Holland 3-1, just a friendly game.

Yes I guess its mainly what your brought up with, in the States the soccer MLS is a very high standard, yet I will admit I rarely watch it, I can get Celtic and the Scottish league on TV and the internet.
Also like the English Premier league, and I like Manchester United, have done since I first saw them live as a lad, when Celtic beat them 2-1 in the Coronation Cup 1953. LoL
Theres loads of soccer game coverage now in the States.
The USA national team are good, have fell away a little from a few years ago, but still good. Scotland is my first pick for a national team, and the USA are my second pick.
Aussie rules I dont watch that, mainly because I dont understand it, but it is popular down under, and has been played for longer than some soccer games I believe.
Australia amazes me, its not a real big populated country, but bloody hell they sure are good at a number of sports, forbye Aussie rules. Eg, Rugby, Soccer, Cricket, Swimming, Tennis, I am sure other sports, Drinking beer, Sheep shagging, LoL just kiddin.
Its funny I wonder when they get to practise and get fit, what time do the pubs shut? HaHaHa

Soccer is cool. My daughter plays. However, real football in my house involves pads, helmets, and hitting!

I think we should make an American version of the game. Allow body checks and get rid of the stupuid offsides rule. That would allow more violence and scoring. Just what America loves.

hughie

08-04-2008, 11:16 AM

More violence, LoL, that takes place in the stands!
In South America two countries almost went to war over soccer.
Rugby is the worlds body checking game.
And there is contact in soccer, just look at the stud showing tackles and broken legs.
And they have complicated the offside law a bit, its not the law thats the problem, its the application. Then again what else is new?

Yes it is a mans game, and those guys run alot.
In American football, theres about 50 players most of them hardly get to move, block yes etc, but goodness bloody gracious, very little exertion, and its a small field, only one hour long, although it lasts about three I think, thanks to commercials. HaHa

I have played football, rugby, ice hockey and a little soccer. Beleive it or not American Football is the roughes of them all even with the pads and it is physically taxing.

Rugby and soccer you definately do more running, but your body can't tak much more than one Football game a week.

I believe you, guess there is a lot more to it than I imagine, ice hockey sure is a tough game.
There is something in the saying, I went to see a fight, and saw a hockey game! LoL

I'm a Man City fan hughie so maybe we won't be getting along very well because of your leaning towards the dark side of Manchester. :sc

I'm a Manchester lad born and bred therefore I support Manchester's one and only Premier League Team.

(Man Utd play in the borough of Trafford which is outside of the city boundaries).

City are playing Celtic on Wednesday night so I'm hoping the sale of Samaras to Celtic doesn't come back to haunt us.

Welcome to the site my friend and let all banter be in fun :ok

Thats a terrific looking stadium cyclops, yes I will be watching the City game Wednesday, its on TV here but delayed, thats ok, I will see it on a big screen.
Samaras scored against Feynoord, and he is ok, but not an EPL standard player, works hard, but lacks finesse, you guys didnt need him.

Yes I play every Sunday, we have the same two teams, although they get jumbled up, united nations, some verygood arguments but never very serious.
Here are some nationalities, and I wont mention duplication, also may miss one or two.
American, English, German, Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Bulgaria, Iran, Mexican, Canada, Denmark, Spain, Hungary, Bermuda, St Lucia, Armenia, Italy, and of course myself, Scottish.

My pro team is Celtic in Glasgow Scotland.
I play every Sunday morning all year round, 8:30 am, because its hot in Vegas thats why we play early.
Anybody else a soccer fan?

Well now, *that's* dedication :ok

I don't play soccer myself, but I am a soccer mom.

hughie

08-07-2008, 11:50 AM

Yes RedVixen there are more youth soccer players registetred in the USA than any other sport. Its a great sport for getting youth in shape, and the smallest guy can be the best player.
I watched the Celtic 1 Man City 1 game on TV here yesterday it was an interesting game both teams played they`re younger players, giving them a tryout because it was a preseason friendly game.

hughie

08-11-2008, 11:57 PM

We won Sunday 3-1, wonders will never cease, thats only our second win in about 3 months. LoL
The excercise is good, and there were about 26 guys on the field, which is huge, probably 90 yds by 120 yds.
I felt good, but the reflexes are telling, kind of slow, when getting a chance to score, however the old brain still can make the ball do the work.
It really helps being a legend in you own mind! LoL
Got up at 4 am Sunday morning and watched Celtic 1 St Mirren 0, starting at 4:30 am on my PC, Celtic were the better team, but it was NOT a convincing win or game to watch.

Yes me too, tomorrow my Celtic team play their arch rivals Rangers at Celtic Park Glasgow, kick off 12:30pm Glasgow time, I will be at my computer at 4:30am my time watching the live streaming.

Incredible, Sunday Chelsea V Manchester United, in a Premier League game, they reckon world wide, that 500 million will be watching that game.
Fox sports is bringing it on my TV, 6am Sunday.
Hope Man Utd win!

I havent played for four weeks, my achilles tendon was very sore, then it went into my lower calf muscle, never had this before in my life. was going to play last Sunday then got a cold, LoL.
Got lucky with my right knee, nearly a year ago, the doc said he couldnt do anything but said if I want to keep kicking the ball, he could give me cortizon shots, I have had two, and they work, next one will be in January 2009.
I also take gluscosamine chondroitin (sp).
Hope your knee doesnt hurt, they can be awkward over the years.
May play tomorrow, but still have got this cold.

Once again a layed off, my cold was bothering me a bit, but the worse thing was I had a REGCURE program installed from the internet, lots of errors in my PC 1643, so I paid $29 and change, it works but I keep getting message about me trying to download, a feature DOCUMENT VIEWER, I didnt try to download that, but the message wont go away, even when I click on cancel.
Bloody murder these computers, especially when I dont speak the eFing language.
Get fit! Hughie

Noticed over yonder, LoL, that Chelsea lost to Arsenal, and Man Utd beat Man City, so if Liverpool win today against West Ham, they go top of the EPL.
Very interesting.
My team Celtic are 7 points clear of Rangers. Goody goody! LoL

A few days ago the weather people said it would be windy and possible rain, Sunday my time.
Well it was verygood they were wrong.
It was real sunny, in the 40s farnheit, and two full teams plus showed up.
My Achilles tendon was good, my right knee a wee bit sore, come January I will get another cortisone(sp) shot.
I didnt play as good as I would have liked, but my stamina was verygood, and as I said the Achilles tendon was no problem.
We lost last week, but won Sunday 5-3, and I didnt score! Oh well!

Well the achilles tendon is better, my right knee is not too bad, next month I will get a cortisone shot in it.
Playing this morning at 8:30am my time, its 30F but very sunny, should be good for playing.
We lost last week, and won the week before,
Watched my Scottish team Celtic win 1-0 against Rangers yesterday, at Ibrox, Rangers field.
Have a grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat day!
