World Cup Fever

Post by Byblos »

Go Brazil!

And the US of course.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

I used to watch sometimes when I was teenage.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Now this is a game of real football.

1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

I'm torn between my grand old flag (Melbourne) and Port Adelaide, my friends son is the starting ruck man Matt Lobbe and I would love to see him get a premiership medal, Melbourne has a lot of work to do before any thoughts of September. I do have a soft spot for the Sth Melbourne Blood however. :ewink:

Melanie and Daniel,

You guys are the answer to my prayers! I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Now all I have to do is read about Australian rules football, and I go right to sleep! :sleep: :mrgreen:

Let me guess you think your stop go stop go stop go NFL is so much more interesting. :yawn:
And all that armour they wear, what a joke, bunch of dumb idiots get more hurt than our guys who wear nothing but their uniforms, NFL is even more boring than soccer and a big bunch of girls blouses to boot.

Hey, hey hey, now, this thread is about boring European football, not boring American football.

Besides which, Daniel my man, I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong. The gear NFLers wear has actually made the game much, much more physical and violent. But I don't want to derail my own thread. y=; :

Only a handful of rugby/Australian footballers have been good enough to make an nfl team.

Nuff' said. y[-(

And actually, I was just trying to rile you up. If I lived in a country like Australia, I'd rather watch Australian football than cricket or that wannabe basketball sport...netball.

I know mate and I was also trying to get you going.

Byblos is right your game is much more un-necessarily violent, a bit like you gun laws. :mrgreen:

Anyway let's get back to ignoring boring English football or as we call it soccer.
