Totally is true. You always bully me ;__;

Not a virgin? That shattered some dreams..
NOT MINE OF COURSE. Dipu's.~

I never bully you! It's usually the other way round, you heightist bastard v.v

Mwahaha. He'll get over it. Eventually.
 
England would be better off with the 3rd string US 'keeper than with anyone they have on the roster this time. Just so you know. ;P

And American Football looks like rugby but with padding. Are they scared or something?

There are lots of subtle differences... American football tends to have faster players, and that extra speed tends to make being hit more dangerous. They used to play with just leather helmets up until the early 1950s. Since then, the game started getting a lot more in revenue, and teams (especially leagues) wanted to protect their investments in players and avoid lawsuits from their families, and pads started being required. It's also a ridiculously high-contact sport, even moreso than rugby from what I've seen.

Forward passing was implemented because the games were apparently boring when it was mostly just kicking and running back in the early 1900s (about 1906, actually). As far as I'm aware, there is essentially no forward passing in rugby.

And that flash alternative isn't really completely deployed on YouTube, yet.

I actually see very little, almost no difference in the speed of the players in rugby and american football. Same with the aggressive tackles, but I could be wrong.
Does passing the ball up-field make the game more aggressive?

I couldn't bully you. I'm wayyyy too innocent. I'm not heightest, you're just sore..

It sounds like it'd be some exciting stuff to watch.
And high contact? Watching people getting hurt.. ~

Somewhat... it certainly makes things more interesting because it's not always RUN AT THE DEFENSE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

That's why they wear pads. Most players who make the rosters in the NFL have salaries of $500,000 or more, with many being worth $1 million, which is even more incentive for pads.
 
She is innocent. Really.

It's Italy VS Paraguay tonight..
I date failed.
Thanks for correcting me everyone. XD
 
Age doesn't matter much when i'm 4 foot nothing. And my voice isn't scary, you evil Northist :/
I'm not Northist, if anything.. you're Southist! You have an un-justified hatred of cockneys.
We're not thieves, either.

OH AND YOUR SIG IS VERY FUNNY MATT.
Why am I always the hoe?
