I just watched the US vs North Korea (I taped it this morning).
WOW! That was honestly one of the best soccer/football matches I’ve seen in my life. (I’ll freely admit, I’m an American, so I haven’t seen anywhere near the amount of football our members in Europa, South America, and Asia have seen, but I’ve played competitively and seen more than most Americans, which isn’t saying much.)
I can’t believe the #1, 3, and 5 teams in the world are in the same draw. Not only that, it’s the same four teams as were in the same draw in 2003. (Do they really draw teams, or are there seedings by region and qualifying rounds?)
American football and rugby aren’t the same thing at all. Dunno about the football, but I knew some local women rugbyists (?) whose team played competitively around the country. Imposing lasses they were, too.
There are a few women on the fringe who play American football. I think there are an awful lot more women who play rugby. There are at least some colleges/universities that offer women’s rugby as a club sport (that is, they play other colleges, but don’t get much in the way of university support).
Looks like Abby did some serious damage to the Swedes today. Sounds like I’ll have another good match to watch when I get home.
Sorry, I knew ofcourse that american football and rugby isn´t the same game. Its a bit like comparing ice hockey and bandy. As far as I understand it there is even different versions of rugby.
Nether rugby or american football are played in sweden any extent. We don´t play cricket eiter. We just go for football and hockey
I’m watching the rugby world cup just now. New Zealand vs Portugal. As a commentator pointed out earlier today it’s like David vs Goliath if David forgot his sling and had ran out of rocks. Currently 87-10 to the All Blacks.
To their credit Portugal are trying to play, they’re just being cut apart when NZ go forward.
