about how field hockey is more of a manly sport than football, how many barca shirts maher had to sell to earn a move to australia, and which australian team he will go on to support, and how not many seem bothered about his move :D

Word. It is good you skipped coming here this summer though :D
Yea, so I hear :D I wanna go there so bad though, I don't care :cry: Oh well...I'm going there next summer :)


I want summer in Sweden on the 11th of August only, I don't care about the other days anymore.
Uppsala Reggae festivalen? :D

Yea, I love it too. But think of the evenings in December and January where it is black at 3 in the afternoon.
God, those were some depressing days. But I love the summers because the sun practically never sets.

:lol2: Yeah, it's more of a man's game when 99% of the people who play it in the US are GIRLS!
Just because things are flipped here doesn't make it a girls sport. That's like saying Soccer is for kids because majority of people that play it in the US are young kids.

yes and it so happens the US isnt even much of a field hockey nation, certainly not compared to the likes of pakistan,holland and england, but what im saying is that in hockey you dont get the diving, and the players being on the floor for 20 mins over a minor scratch like you do in football, its quite a physically challenging game especially for a defender who cant rely on the offside rule like footballers do since there is no offside, so they have to keep up with their markers at all time, even for a gk they are allowed to go sliding into a player and break his leg and there wouldnt even be a booking, hockey is a sport which ive been brought up to play on even with a broken foot, in my experience a fractured toe, unlike in football in which the player walks off crying and is out for the next 5 months earning 100k a week. the only thing similar to football is how tactical it is
Dude, football is easliy more challenging because of the offsides rule. You have to think and run more, pay attention, run back from the play, and sprint to beat the trap or get to the ball.

You make as much sense as a MAN playing FIELD HOCKEY!
