Oh, I see. So it's even more tedious than fishing.
Actually it is a lot less tiresome than waiting through an entire soccer game to see if anyone, anyone is capable of putting the ball in the net.

Cricket is the second-best sport in the world, as well as the world's second-most popular team sport. It's now the fastest-growing sport in Canada. It was declared Canada's national sport in the 1800s (the first international cricket match was not England vs Australia, or West Indies vs India, but Canada vs USA in the 1840s) and was only overtaken by silly hockey on ice in the early 1900s. With its huge growth in Canada at the moment it'll not be long before it becomes your national sport once more and then you'll become a normal, large Commonwealth country. At the moment, when it comes to cricket, Canada is the Commonwealth's pariah, with the sport huge in the other main Commonwealth nations and areas like Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and West Indies. Canada is the odd one out, and is missing out on great cricketing competitions with its Commonwealth allies.
There is no difference. "Sacker" is just the silly North American word for football, a word you need to use because you nicked the name of the world's most popular team sport for the sport we call "handegg".
What's the difference between Scottish and British?
Yes, someone has to keep time in basketball. Unlike the neaderthal 'wait until the ref watches someone finish their last attempt to score' routine. Any game that runs on a clock that is completely irrelevant for time is pretty stunned.
That's a rather silly attempt to explain the Six Nations Championships' growing global popularity.
Spanish football's El Clásico, between Real Madrid and Barcelona, now also attracts a bigger global audience than the boring Super Bowl, and that's even for just a regular season game.
And bear in mind that a huge chunk - a hundred million or so - of the Super Bowl's viewers are in one country - America.
If Third World kids wanted to play American football they would. The fact that they choose football tells you something...
Knitting.
Cricket is boring, much like the British.
It's a plastic baseball bat.That looks like something Mattel manufactures.
Idiot: Playing soccer requires a pair of shoes and a ball.
American football........much more.
The average cricket match seems much more gameplay and less stoppages than the average American football match.

Scots are intelligent.

The vampire bat mostly feeds on the blood of mammals, hence its name.
It is the only mammal which is a parasite.
They're also British.
Only if you have such a low attention span that you can only enjoy watching a sport if somebody scores in it every few minutes.
I find football games with low scores can be just as tedious, BL.
And while we on soccer again, can you tell me why they call it the 'beautiful' game, I asked in a previous post but no one seems to know?
I almost heaved just reading about the stink from that thing. Now there's a job for Mike Rowe. :lol: Glad I read the entire article as there appears to a be light at the end of the fat tunnel with their plans to collect and reuse the oil.
Pardon the interruption but could anyone tell me why soccer is called "the beautiful game"? Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, there are any number of games/sports that I might think of as beautiful and soccer does not head the list.
I have no idea why they call it the beautiful game...
I have no idea why they call it the beautiful game... Probably has something to do with all of the little drama queens faking injuries every 30 seconds
It's called The Beautiful Game because, when played at its best, by European aristocrats like Chelsea, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, it is a thing of beauty.
Nobody is too sure where the term originated. Some attribute it to Brazilian footballer Didi, who won the 1958 and 1962 World Cups with Brazil. Others say it was coined by English TV presenter Stuart Hall in 1958, who was jailed in 2013 for historical child sex abuse.
