Bugger your soccer! This is a Sport s Board, for now!  AFC games: Indianapolis at Houston on Saturday, LA Chargers a Baltimore Sunday. I don't think any of those 4 teams have the ability to go the distance, but the individual games are good match-ups (on paper). NFC games: Seattle at Dallas on Saturday night, Philly at Chicago on Sunday. Da Bears look to have the potential to go deep into the playoffs, but Philly has the recent championship experience. Dallas and Seattle are so inconsistent that there is not much predicting how they are going to perform, but that at least seem to be peaking at the right time...sort of. |

11 minutes is still 10:38 more than a typical soccer game (sorry - footie match), with the added benefit that in real football you have an idea when that action is actually going to occur, so you can go to the loo or grab a snack in a predictable way and not miss anything. Continuous exertion is not the same as action. A marathon is continuous exertion, but it is boring AF to watch. This article is equivalent in nonsense to saying that a piano concerto only has 10 seconds of music because that's the total amount of time the hammers are in contact with the strings. |

Blah blah blah. Hilarious excuse making for a tedious, tedious experience. 4 hours of arse-numbing nothingness and 11 minutes of play. P.S. Understood that 45 minutes is too long for you to wait for a loo break. |

Why would you pluralise sport?

Why would you pluralise sport? Perhaps I misunderstand the purpose of the board. Is it only for discussion of a single sport? If so, why not just label it "Futbol"? |

Apparently there's some confusion about that, even on your tiny island. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/index.htmlNote that the section is called Sport, but the tab is labelled Sports. The English language Newspaper of Record calls it Sports as a topic. www.nytimes.com/section/sports |

The former is a general term (he was good at sport) while the latter is specific (tennis and soccer are sports). Note that one does not say, "On sport day, I went to the sport centre to play a range of sport, with my two friends who are good sport." Pluralise them all and it makes sense. |

Tennis and soccer are types of sport. And sport centre is entirely correct. You just think they saying sports because the C has the same sound as an S and you're dumb. |

We had sports day. But we also had a love of sport. Sport is a categorical term that refers to an overall field of endeavour which is made of individual sports. Like gas refers to the state of various substances, but those substances are gases. |

Listen, if you are going to be this stupid, please fuck off to another board till you've sobered up. You're an idiot. |
