lol, while I worked at Sprint we spent a good part of our time watching sports, from Mexico First Division to NFL. I'm not a big fan of american football, but I enjoyed watching the last Supa Bowl :P

Oh, and just tried the TVAnts program. Works well, but you will need a fast internet connection (I only have a fkn Megabit). For some reason I missed the Sevilla-AEK game, but Sevilla won 4-1, so they are in UCL :D

Oh, and someone knows how to install the simplified chinese language pack? I... er... lost my Windows CD... yeah...

the superbowl and world cup finals are such spectacular events anybody should be able to enjoy them. anybody who doesn't is just trying to push themselves away from it.

wojtas: i guess the "amateurs" you describe in football would be like junior hockey players in the canadian hockey leagues (QMJHL, OHL, WHL, etc).

sadly, for many junior hockey players who can't make it to the higher leagues, the career outlook is bleak. some go to college, but seems relatively few. good thing is that community college system in north america is pretty good.

quite frankly, i like the sports system in the US better. take NBA and NFL. the majority go through college, so even those who don't make it have a degree to fall back on. MLB not as great; like in hockey or in football, so many need to go through the lower leagues (AAA, AA, A etc). maybe 10% come out of college, but again, so many players who can't make it have bleak career outlooks.

from what i know, academy football (european now) players who don't quite cut it in the big leagues also have poor career outlooks. i follow liverpool, so once a while i'll read about some once-promising lad playing in league 1 or league 2; i can't imagine what happens to those who just never made it.



the Wii is an epidemic.

FC Basel

Teams from other countries I like: BVB, Arsenal, Barcelona amongst others.

International: of course the Swiss national team, but since they rarely win world cups I also support the italian and english national teams.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

Adelaide crows. wildcard this finals, hopefully we beat the hawks!
you said discuss anything football, and in aus, our football is AFL :P

@Shams Yeah, i wanna see roos take down geelong this w/e too

Of all the matches, I think the Crows should be most confident. Hawks got smashed last weekend.

I think we have a chance - pity to hear that Kasey Green is out for 2 matches on striking...

Love to see the Pies take down the Swans - even though Sydney is my old team, and I hate Collingwood ;)

Plus the italian players are great actors, when they fall and nobody pushed them, it still looks real, then the oscar winning crying scene starts.... so much drama.... wonderfull.

Don't get an Australian started on Italian "acting"... that penalty in the World Cup was a disgrace. We had a real chance to knock Italy out...
