i would describe the traditional french game as more chaotic indisciliplin combined with the odd moment of inspired brillance rarther that the and not so carefully concealed blatent eye gouging and the like that the boks go infor. <br><br>i attribute their tatics to the fact that they didnt get to play internationals for all those years - when they resume they didnt realise that everything was now on t.v. but they still played like it was 1970 with a team on tour in some godforsaken place in the high veldt - outa sight and mind and the eyes of the media - where total traditional boer brutality reined. <br>they just havnt adapted - now they do the deeds and get penalised big time - they aint the most adaptabe of sorts are they ? and yer need to adapt on a game to game basis these days. <br><br>bernie - will ya start up a knitting thread for sparticus please <br><br>mungo

One of me fave footy pics from the past. The one on the left ended up a "hard man" actor (Vinnie Jones) seen "Snatch" or "Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels" anyone or the current Bacardi tv ads. The other one (Gazza to us lot) turned into a wife beating alcoholic. Good old "poofters" eh ?  ;D<br><br><br><br>"Low-intelligence fucking hooligans"?? Don't tar every fucker with the same brush though...... >:(

much as i abhore and loahthe soccer in any shape or form that above , to me, ranks as one of the all great sporting pics. <br>a shot of a guy kickin, hittin or throwing a ball is one thing - a shot of a guy squeezing a pair of balls is quite another. <br>vinnie is the only soccer player who gets my thumbs up. pass the barcardi.<br><br>mungo

I adore soccer and I like rugby.<br>I grew up playing soccer with my friends in my suburb and I had a great time... thanks to my parents I had an happy youth; thanks to soccer I had a great time; thanks to music I'm having an interesting life; thanks to women I have new ideas day by day...<br><br>Talkin' about soccer...I was 8 when Karl-Heinz RUMENIGGE came in in my club (INTER F.C.) and played with my first myth: Alessandro ALTOBELLI...<br>Than came MATTHAUS, BERTI, BERGKAMP, RONALDO, VIERI... and now OBA-OBA MARTINS...<br>INTER F.C. is pretty famous to be an unlucky club but...I love suffering watching at its match...<br><br>ciao
