Whew... that's good. The US is knocked out of the World Cup 2022.
No more of that girly football.



Now if you're into... manly football, that would be tomorrow and Monday.

Maybe, but it's still a girly sport.

Hi there
I think US "Football" was only invented by Doctors and Bone specialists so big heavy men could beat the sh-- out of each other and then the doctors, consultants and hospitals could rake in a fortune in attempting to repair their injuries. !!!!!

Unlike most other sports -- even Boxing -- women are also participants -- but I doubt if I've ever even heard of a Women's American Football team -- they'd probably have to be enormous. !!!!!

Now Rugby, that's another manly sport.

I grew up watching football in the 60's and 70's, when NFL players went out there to kill players on the other team.
Or at least put them in the hospital for the season.
Even in American football, the players today aren't as tough as they used to be.

I know Soccer is a tough sport, if for no other reason than they pretty much run the entire game.

But honestly, even today, American football players would just snap those guys like twigs.
6' 5", 300 lbs. (196cm, 136kg), and fast, at least over short distances.


Now it would be interesting to see Rugby vs. American football. That would bring in some serious money on pay-per-view.

For you widescreen folks...

Thanks for the pics.

I'll stick to Soccer and Cycling -- and when I get too old maybe Golf.

Have a good Xmas season etc.

I'll be rooting for England tonight though against Senegal.

I utterly loathe their Brexit etc -- but as far as Real Football is concerned (Or "Soccer as you call it -- even though the word soccer comes from the rules of "Association Football" -- excellent series on SKY TV History channel 2HD if you can get it -- 2 episodes on "The History of Football") They invented the game and it has given so much pleasure over the years to supporters all over the world.

I loved it though at a recent EUFA competition when Iceland knocked England out !!!! Euros 2016 !!!!!

I was at that game.



GOOOOOOOAL ISL 1 - England 0 !!!!!!!

Any Brits looking at this thread probably still can't believe what happened on that great night in France. !!!

Anyway a great pic from a PA photographer showing at least how we don't need massive Xmas lights when Nature has a perfect FREE display !!!!



Cheers

Yeah that photographer might be from PA, but I'd bet that Aurora Borealis if from a lot further north.


You have a great Christmas as well.

BTW that photo was from S.W Iceland -> quite a bit further south than where I live !!!!! which is about 20 KM from Reykjavik.


Just a final one --if you have a VPN

Here's the SKY History 2 channel -- actually for quite good. VPN just use a UK or ISL server. Nordvpn seems OK to me has loads of servers world wide and no particular performance or "Lawyer" problems. !!! This is the channel that had that excellent "History of Football" series - 2 excellent episodes.



and the actual program link



Cheers

and looking forward to the England game.

Yeah, Iceland is a bit north of the US and of Canada.

I did see some when I was in Alaska, not that huge though.
