The childish antics of footballers DO often warrant the pansy label... the fact that these men actually CAN pound an 18 stone giant and come out the other side able to kick, throw, pass and run is far more impressive to me than tapping a ball around. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Almost, but rugby is a great game played by men not wimps. BECKHAM has really taken the LA franchise hasnt he. Hes getting enormous money for doing nothing. But why should I be surprised. Football is a terribly boring game were generally speaking nothing happens. Mind you he didnt do much for the game in spain or england

Temper, temper, your lack of intelligence is shining brightly. Your only goal scorer Rooney would make a great scrum half. The rest of your soccer players wouldnt make the english girls rugby team

Would you care to comment on my earlier post, bobstyles007, instead of taking pot shots at an easy target?

I absolutely agree with Proud_Saint. Its only some footballers like Fat Frank who dont care about playing for their country while others like Becks, Barry love it and are proud of it. And as for the amount of money in football, its because there is so much interest so football will definitely remain more popular but im not saying its better than rugby, no sport is better than the other.

Anyway, come on England.

webelieve, i wholeheartedly disagree. and the question of whether union can compete with football for the love of the english people has an obvious answer, in the negative. you all know that.

On your first point, that is your prerogative... i personally prefer the physicality, athleticism and skill involved with rugby rather than the boring, simple game of football. On the latter point, i say thank goodness rugby is the minority sport, and long may it remain so. Would hate to see the game embraced by the masses and compromised. The fact it remains the less popular game to some degree saves it from devolving instead into a soft, over-commercialised industry more concerned with big contracts, endorsements and selling t-shirts than the sport itself.
