soccer & football r both very slow games

tho i watch & play both when i get the chance to...my father LOVES soccer. sits and watches all 90 minutes of every game they are showing...no matter which team, which language they r speaking in, mens or womens, dun matter. he was the soccer captain of his uni socccer team

but i prefer my basketball and hockey any given day

you know what, i really hate basketball.

its fun to play, but not to watch. i mean, whats the point in getting men who are as tall as the basket to play anyway?.... in the professional game, you dont need that much skill, you just need to be tall so that you can dunk the ball. and it only takes a few steps for them to run from one end of the pitch to the other.... there are baskets dunked every few seconds .... where is the fun in that? its BORING!

love playing it though..... and teenwolf was a cool movie back in the day (does anyone remember that film with Michael J Fox? saw a rerun the other day and it was hilarious.)

football on the other hand takes a lot of skill... it takes so much effort just to get from one end of the pitch to the other and its more about skill than just height.... the best football players in the world have all been relatively short.... and there's the whole anticipation of waiting for a goal to be scored. just one goal can makes a game and it is always remembered. even though i hate the obsession men have with soccer, at least i can credit it with being a beautiful game.

if you play bsketball then u kno it DOES require lotsa talent. you have to know how to guard the ball properly, pass it right, shoot it accuratly. it doesnt require as much sweating as soccer, but it is 'action-packed'. soccer, they get a goal every 45 godamn minutes! the most intresting part of soccer is the shootout and thaz at the end, aftr all 90 min, and a lot of games dont even get to that!

but, basketball has sorta lost its appeal to me, watching wise. my home team, toronto raptors are doin crap, and its no fun watching other teams (rather than my home team). ice hockey on the other hand, i can watch any good team playing. that sport is HYPE. doncha dare diss it
