Favorite sport(s) apart from cricket and soccer (football)?

Yeah why specify which sport you mean in a thread literally about comparing different sports?

Hunt people who moan about it instead

It's easier to hunt just one country than the entire planet tbf

It's a pretty big misconception that only Americans call it soccer actually. Even among the countries here, I believe soccer is still the dominant name for it in Australia/New Zealand. Though I hear there has been a push to call it Football in recent times. I'm not sure if it has actually worked and had a significant impact at all though. Our fellow people from the Trans-Tasman would be better suited tell you that.

If it makes you feel better though, you can refer to their football as Gridiron...

Used to follow a lot more sports than I do now, this was probably down to the lack of Sky Sports when I was growing up, so most things on TV I watched. Traditionally Formula 1 would have been 3rd favourite but it is in such a bad way right now, it is probably Cycling or Golf really.

Like to play chess and watch Youtube videos on epic chess games involving likes of Fischer, Tal, Capablanca etc. Not so much live viewing though. Otherwise like to watch Poker whenever it is televised or watch it on YouTube sometimes. As outdoor sports, it's limited to cricket and football basically.

Rugby Union, but I have a love/hate relationship with it. Its main purpose in the UK is to be compared favourably with football by middle class people. And all of the players are far more attractive than me.

I honestly probably wouldn't have said Rugby even two months ago, but this WC has been fantastic. Really revitalised my interest in the sport.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, the success of the Warriors over the past couple of years and this World Cup mean Rugby's probably up there.

Even I have watched some matches in this WC, the standard of play has been exceptional. Last time I watched was in 2010-11.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah AWTAs. So much better games than we were getting a few years back.

Opps! I voted for MMA but I like Boxing as well..anyway

The name "Association Football" should be changed to "Soccer Football", because it is much easier for being understood by most people.

No it shouldn't. Now kindly just **** off you troll

Love that he changed the word Association and not Football

MMA is really the only other sport I follow outside of Cricket. Could never get into football soccer despite playing it a lot.

Haha, yeah. I find watching football very boring too. I love playing it though and it's pretty much the only sport I play nowadays.
