Try playing Australian football -.-
Aussie football basically gets every bone in your body broken when you do it professionally, so don't call rugby or any other footy 'pussyfied' when Soccor is the easiest and least violent type of football.1 like
There is no such sport as soccer. There is only football, American football, Australian Football, Gaelic football etc.

Don't get me started on the Aussies or the Irish, they are even worse!!!!! :-D:-D:-D;-D:-D In all honestly, I love nearly all sports and appreciate all the skills involved (although American football has never appealed to me). I personally have none of the required skills, but respect and enjoy watching those who do
0 likesOh okay lol, I never got that appealed by that American rubbish either.
0 likesI must agree, some of the toughest b*astards in the world play ARF. Used to watch it as child when it was shown in England. I seem to recall it being very fast paced too. BIG respect to those guys

Rugby, played by real men with out helmets and all that padding. Don't care for American "football" the main point of it, as far as I am aware of, is one player throws the ball FORWARD as far as he can in the hope some catches it and runs it over the line...where is the skill in that? In rugby, you have to pass the ball backwards if you want to go forward (you can kick it forward of course, but you often you have to be very precise, if not you give possession away). Continuing the light hearted yank bashing, Baseball is just jumped Rounders after all;-p Ice hockey?!? hmmm lets play hockey on ice and put loads of padding on AGAIN!!!!LOL
Hm, just trying to imagine the conversation had by the bigwigs of American sports when naming sports. I guess it went like this "The Brits and the rest of the world play a game called football in which they use their feet, shall we call it football?...no, lets make up a random word with no connotations to the game of football and call it soccer. Hang on guys, lets invent our own game, its gonna be similar to rugby but we will make it much simpler and call American Football and not something sensible like American Rugby". ;-p
Please take this as the light hearted banter it is meant to be.2 likes
Lol yeah....our American football players would beat the shit out of your rugby players.
No offense, this is just light hearted banter ;).

LMAO yeah, positive about that Ebo. If you were smart enough, you'd realize all those football clips were from a television/movie production (i.e. they're fake and made for entertainment). Better luck next time. =)
0 likesLMAO you muppet of course I know it was a scene from GLEE it s called a joke ! I thought that is what we were doing here , haveing some friendly banter ! My mistake !
1 likeROFLMAO. You moron. Of course he knew it was a TV show. As if any serious professional athlete (fyi, this is not banter and me being serious and respecting all sportsman for the skills they possess[see my post below] even if it is only throwing a ball forward for one person to chase - that is banter though, but I guess you will take offence) would decide to dance in the middle of a professional game. C'mon who would actually think a sport is played like that? Oh, you really have made my day now. Will be laughing about that for the rest of life....Cheers. C'mon just lighten up a bit and join in

Possibly, I think there would decent odds given on either sport. Saying that, you guys sure do have some big ass fellas playing your sport!!!!!
0 likesFunny to witness how contradictory you can speak literally just after calling every American sport a pussy's game.
0 likesWas just trying to carry on with the banter I tried to create. I was not trying to be contradictory, I just said they were big guys, that does not make them hard as nails. Do all wrestlers go round beating up people who annoy them? No, they are actors and I would imagine that unless indulge in boxing or mma, they are generaaly mild mannered and would not know what to do in a real fight...When did i say all yank rip-off, cant make up your own sports are played by pussies? Please reply. Just in case you forgot they wear f*&^ing padding and protection ffs. If you waana get a bit serious (and I don't) send some of your finest "football" players over to play some Saturday/Sunday Rugby teams on a cold, wet, miserable morning/afternoon. That will open there eyes to how easy they have it. I am pretty certain all those playing Saturday/Sunday rugby will find a huge difference wearing protection if they went Stateside

lmao Americans are so patriotic lol they really don't understand our humour, I just don't see why they cant see what we see its just common sense really, rugby = no padding vs a similar game with padding
0 likes
LOL you dont need pads in american egghand either. you only have pads because you those stupidly huge shoulder things (no,I dont know what they are called and I care even less about finding out) and helmets. If you did not wear those you would not need padding and it would then the same level as rugby, and no-one would ever have this type of conversation. the tackling is the same, its just you lot wanna be wimps about is;-)
Indoor 5-a-side football, squash, indoor tennis, indoor cricket have the same issues with space restrictions. They may not be as fast as the skaters, but having played the aove sports you can generate serious speed up and yup, it really hurts when you crash in to a wall or get pushed in to one at full speed, OR even more dangerously get tripped up and smash into a wall at a good speed. Must remember to pad up next time.
Guess I better not try to bring a bit of fun to these posts anymore.

Brilliant, can't stop laughing. "I win this one" what a well thought out and reasoned argument. How am I trolling? if you followed my posts you would see I was trying to follow the general tone of the thread, which has generally became well received banter about the difference rergarding the name soccer for a game that is played with the foot and called football in most countries around the world and paradox of the american football, a game played mainly with the hands. Its a shame not everyone has a sense of humour. Other people brought the "trolling" by not joining in the banter. I really don't care what is more dangerous or who has the tougher people, I have better things to do with my time than argue with you. I only posted on here for a bit of a laugh and to join in on the jokes, but it seems you cant take a bit of a joke against your precious egghand game. I welcome your reply, but I will not respond to it.

You have obviously never paid attention when watching American football. Yes, we wear padding. But about as much of the body that is covered is the amount exposed to pads from other players. Tackling each other doesn't hurt as bad when you have no pads. Ever get a helmet to the thigh? Or to the ribs or back? The fact that you have helmets and shoulder pads makes you less fearful to hit someone as hard as you possibly can. Sure rugby is tough as hell but toughness varies when you have the appropriate equipment to be even tougher.

The choreography of american football is so much more complicated you ignoramus. You call the play, get to the line quickly in whatever formation the play tells you. Then you have your audibles, shifts, and cadences, whether the count is on one two or three. Once the play starts you have you designated routes and blocks to follow to the whistle. Even if the play lasts 2 seconds or 15 seconds, its 100% effort the entire time then back to the huddle then to the line all over again for 2 to 3 hours. Defense is a whole other story with coverages, checkdowns, reads and other various aspects that you wont even begin to understand. You wouldn't last a second without getting blindsided so hard you can't find the bench.

Bane breaking into Wayne Enterprises.What's that thing he's gonna take from there? It can not be made out exactly but if you look closely it has two lights.I think it looks like the one we've seen in the pic of Bruce talking to Miranda.Notice the lights.

I thought it looked more like the temporary batcave from The Dark Knight...but I think you're prediction might be more accurate.
1 likemeant your prediction
1 likeDefo from the temporary batcave, I would suggest Bruce Wayne gets captured and put in jail from the look of this. He will then escape, beocme Batman, fight Bane and get captured again (as per other trailers/tv spots.....and also a little knowledge from "A Tale of Two Cities") Great spot though.
0 likes*captured because he is one of the rich buggers in Gotham.....not because he has been found out as Batman......that will come later

Its gonna be 2 hrs and 45 min. I believe.Which is still pretty long,not that it bothers me or anything.Batman needs 2 go out with a bang.The man hasn't actually won in the last 2 installments ( IMO in BB all the inmates were released & now on the loose.TDK Joker proved Bats wrong so he had 2 take the blame) & come July Bruce will be established as the Bats we all know & love. =)

1st viewing -I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be in awe!! Reason being, that's how I was while watching TDK =)
2nd viewing - 2 c stuff I missed (or connections in the story that aren't revealed until the end ala The Prestige & this movie has that vibe so yea) because of the awesomeness of the 1st viewing.=)
3rd viewing - 2 fully understand the film & enjoy the fuck out of it (pardon my french)
4th & on viewings - I want Batman 2 kick Avengers ass!! ;)12 likes
Behave mate, including the prologue we have probably seen 10-12 minutes of the movie only, Think back to TDK and how much of the movie was ruined with the trailers, tv spots, and prologue. Most of the stuff seen is just regurgitated scenes already used in other trailers

Dam England v France was hard work to watch , Hodgson is going to try and win the Euros by putting the opposition to sleep , and I should know I am a LFC fan it's all going to end in tears with this tactic ! Anyway back to my point nearly wet myself when this popped up ! Also throughout the day there have been these intense like 2 second spots just flashing up of the Bat symbol it's Awsome it feels like a subllinal message !

[POTENTIAL SPOILER FROM TRAILER]
Even though it's a seemingly small detail, I did not need to know that Selena Kyle steals the Aventador at the end of the ball. That already reveals that there is no big fight at the ball (like in TDK). Please, WB, I think the fans have enough info now. We don't need more info/giveaways.

Pause at :16 and you will see how Bane gets the Tumblers. He is walking through a hole in the wall and you can slightly see the Bat in the background! I am going to freaking love this movie! Pre-ordered my tickets!

That's a very nice catch, but something tells me that isn't exactly whats happening. I don't think Bane is going to steal the Tumblers, especially considering the fact that we have no reason to believe that Lucius Fox has any more than the one he gave to Bruce - which is now destroyed. I think it's more like that Bane will find Coleman Reese, the man who wanted to reveal Batman's identity over the news, and take the Tumbler schematics from him. Reese did keep them, after all.
1 likeThat's very interesting. I was looking at Dark Knight Rises videos and someone made the connection that is possible that Coleman Reese is the Riddler. Maybe that is a little trick Mr. Nolan has up his sleeve.
