i'm sorry after playing rugby all my school life and watching the last few nfl seasons on tv, i think rugby is much more physical, you not only need stamina but strength too. nfl players are tough no doubt, but i wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of this bad boy...

who said rugby hits aren't hard because there not wearing pads...

First of all, do you watch football regularly ?

If you dont, i would understand but if you do, then you would know that by your statement 3/4 of football players worldwide would get a life or several years of ban because of cheating of some sort. This is football, this why its famous, because of this incidents and this is why we love it so much.

loseittoo

yes i actually do watch football regularly, but if this kind of cheating is allowed, and even endorsed by many people, then perhaps i should start playing and watching rugby again. If you banned players for this behavior it would stamp it out. There hasn't been one game at this world cup where cheating or diving etc... hasn't taken place. it quite disgusting to watch at times.

and as for that last statement, listened to too much Sep Blatter recently lol?

i blame capello tbh, he refuses to change a broken system (4-4-2) even after 60min of getting no where. then takes of lennon and brings on swp. where the feck is joe cole?????

heskey should just go home before he does any more damage and rooney should be up by himself with gerrard behind him. cole on left, lennon on right, with lampard and barry in middle, that would atleast allow them to play with freedom. the only posative was that james played well lol.
