    Yeah that NASCAR is so much more exciting. 🙄

    And that spinoff from snooker called pool [which isn't played anywhere near a swimming pool btw] that the yanks play [because snooker is obviously too complicated for them] is another one. pah! 😀

    Yeah, NASCAR certainly is DUM. Pool, on the other hand, is played in the bars for money, not followed on the "telly". That's Poker! PAH!

To summarize the intricate sport of Football in one word is simply impossible - unless you use the word "brilliant".
    Crap ??

    Enjoy your jerry-curls and orange slices. Do the airplane, super cool knee slide, it's a GOAL!

    You've obviously never seen Arsenal v Man U, or Celtic V Rangers.

    Sorry, i guess it's easy to get confused when your Countries historical artifact include a twinky wrapper, and a statue built by the French.

    I meant the Original Celtic and Rangers, the ones that were playing sport while you immigrants were still fighting over texas, and complaining that you couldn't whip blacks.

    Actually, the Chicago White Sox of baseball are an older oganization then Celtic FC. Just a little FYI. The Boston Red Sox were founded only 5 years after Celtic.

    Plus, there is already a sport called Throw the Egg. I should know, because I invented it, and won the inaugural world championship in the late 1990s.

    Are you sure? Celtic first played Rangers in 1888 but were founded in 1887 I didn't think the White Sox went back that far what year was their first game?

    I did find this which seems to indicate they were founded in 1893:

    About. The White Sox have roots going back to 1893. They started off as the Sioux City, Iowa franchise. They moved Minnesota, then again to Chicago where they have settled since 1900. They won the World Series in 1901, 1919 and in 2005. Sox is short for 'Stockings'.
