what is the problem with shaolin-do?

Cricket is the most confusing game ever...what in god's name where you guys thinking?!? "Hey, lets make a game so complicated that it confuses everyone including half of the British population."

[Starchaser107]

whats so confusing about cricket?

american football is more complicated.

[CaptinPickAxe]

cricket just loses me... maybe its a cultural thing, because American Football can be summed up to this:

Every lines up where the ball was last, no one can move untill the ball is put into play or "hiked". The main controller of the ball is the QB and he cannot pass once he moves infront of the balls original postion. The rest is just running to the inzone.

You guys only play manly games like cricket and tennis then, eh?

We have exactly 2 tennis players in the UK and one of them is canadian.

We decided long ago that sports brilliance was a sham best left to our colonial younger offspring and headed off on a new "third way".

Thats the only thing I agree with from his post. As far as Wushu goes, Wushu is defined as military art, fighting art, martial art, etc in Chinese. So theoretically, all Kung Fu is "Wushu", but most people think P.R.O.C. Wushu when they hear Wushu with the gymnastics and stuff.

And I'd like to see someone do a Wushu Wing Chun form. Sil Lum Tao while doing a butterfly spin.

There's still tons of caucasian athletes in baseball and American football, and the NHL is dominated by pale northern bastards. Basketball is really the only major sport that's got a predominance of african-american athletes.

There's not many black people in hockey. Canada has one, I think

well considering americas population/wealth its expected. but im confused- you say you're the best at these sports, but you're the only country that plays them (in a serious manner)

i mean, that narrows the field a little dont you think?

Grrr I was going to post that.

My girlfriend is canadian, we have regular arguments over why you (in north america) insist on refeering to thr "world series". I mean just cos cuba plays dont make it the world!

If you want to see a true world game, just watch the English rugby team (most are gay x-public school boys) crush the world at their feet.

Ground Wiffling:
No. Even the modified patterns used for developing your ground-wiffling skills are too deadly. In fact, the non-modified version was so dangerous, I thought about doing it, and it killed me. Then I came back. That's how I know I'm so good.

Hmm. How about if I stand in wiffle-horse and practice reverse wiffle for three years first?

Counter to Triangle Choke Wiffle:
Actually, the correct terminology is the "Three-Point-Square Vascular Restraint." And there is NO counter to this ultra-deadly move.

Not even biting the wiffle points?

Spandex Singlet Allowance:
You can borrow mine.

Why does it smell like cheese?

[Meat Shake]

Nah, more like garlic.

"just watch the English rugby team (most are gay x-public school boys) crush the world at their feet"
"well considering americas population/wealth its expected. but im confused- you say you're the best at these sports, but you're the only country that plays them (in a serious manner)"

And consequently, what the rest of the world cares about sport wise, america doesnt, thus lack of competent athletes in more "worldly" sports. The rest of the world is trying to play basketball. look at what happens when they play america.
(yeah, i know our soccer team blows)

Actually, Cuba doesn't play in our world series, unless you're counting all the Cuban players on the various teams. Canada has a few teams, but who counts Canada as a separate country?

For other sports, I seem to recall that we play basketball against the rest of the world in the Olympics, and have done fairly well. Also, I seem to remember an American women's soccer team doing fairly well in the World Cup a year or two ago. And we've taken the gold in Olympic hockey several times.

We beat you when it counted ... happy July 4th.
