But its not main thing. I think Carry-ball is more like then foot-ball and what a funny outfit they wear

its all part of the game, the funny outfits are protective gear to stop them getting injured, but unfortunately they still do. At elast they have a littel more sense than the rugby players who dont even attempt to protect themselves.

But that game is more or less like ruby and in ruby no one wear any protective thing

because they are stupid!

Anyway I guess It's like in the spanish language a word might mean something in Puerto Rico and it might mean a different thing alltogether in Mexico or Spain but it still would b the same word, just diferent meaning.


Soccer sucks. Football Rocks. Arena Football sucks.

I've always thought American Football was a bit of a farce, but there's a hell of a lot of money goes into it.

I've also heard how they want to change football (soccer). I've heard they want to split the game into 4 quarters instead of 2 halves and have time outs like American Football and Basketball, etc. I've also heard that some Americans want helmets to head the ball with because it can cause concussion. Don't know if it's true, but I heard the pitch is to be divided into 3 zones to make it more exciting. The 18 yard box being worth one goal, outside the box up until the centre circle to be worth 2 goals, and the area where the centre circle to be worth 3 goals. What a load of bollocks. :P

In rugby there are injuries but if everyone plays fairly and they don't go too high when tackling no-one really should get hurt. They don't need to wear and padding and helmets because they aren't pathetic, and it would only slow them down anyway, in addition to making them look stupid.

most rugby players suffer from cauliflower ear and broken noses/shoulder injuries / cuts to head, therefore they do need to wear helmets and protective wear.

If they wanted to wear something they probably would. If they play properly they shouldn't get hurt though.

getting into a scrum is painful and when most injuries occur, its part of the game and however it is played it cannot prevent injuries.
