What sport do you find most exciting?

[Val]

Just wondering ...
Here in Brazil is soccer, of course, and I don't need to explain!

And yours?

basketball
Hockey
Football
soccer like me?

Why?

[edawg99]

Well being from Canada I must say I love Hockey. Hockey Rules.

I've never really been a huge hockey fan but after watching this guy i'm sort of tempted to get into it:



Plus Goalie fights are always hilarious, they remind me of male elephant seal scuffles. Lumbering along in a fat suit, bashing into each other.

A goalie holding his own versus a forward? Priceless.

Football. Soccer a close second, very intense.

[Moshe..]

Tennis is the only thing I do any practice for. Tennis is exciting! My forehand is racy. And I play golf when I get a chance (but I'm unbelievably bad!) and soccer (with some quality skills) but my aerobic fitness is a joke because of cigs. I'm a right winger, I can't tackle or anything - just have a nice cross. I take pretty corners.

I like watching boxing when I'm really bored. I've never had a chance to do any boxing (haha I want to), I just like watching. It's so lame nowadays, especially at heavy-weight. I like vintage boxing matches, even when you know the result. Sugar ray robinson is the best. Soccer/football, I only support west ham. I liked them best under harry rednapp. Oh my god paolo di canio. I love my paolo - don't worry that's only a playful roman/fascist salute, he's not that much of a nazi, it's all very endearing.

That's funny, there aren't many "natural" right wingers left in the game today(Quaresma, Ribery, Joaquin, Simao, Van Persie with the dutch NT).

Anyways f!uck Di Canio and s!hitty Hammer wingers like Benayoun. Here's the true maestro:

[SilverSpoon]

To play, I find either basketball, hockey or badminton the most exciting. To watch, I like skateboarding and track and field events. I don't really care much for the summer Olympics, but I always look forward to watching the 100 metre dash. Bunch of people running like cheetahs for nine seconds. That's awesome.

Hey ...
I'm also trying this one:



Table tennis!

It's damn exciting! The movements with the racket are very fast!!! In 10 minutes you lose 300 calories!

[Moshe..]

Oh my god topless pires video! I thought he was best playing left-wing, or just as forward behind the striker. He was like a precision surgeon. That's absolutely nothing on di canio! But I hate arsenal so much, everything about them is antipathetic. I'm only posting kanu because he's so lazy & eccentric. And also del piero, the most aesthetically pleasing and elegant striker in our life-time. It's like the football equivalent of a chanel evening-gown.


Matt le tissier was the most classy english player in history and he's far too pretty for bloc party.

[Plastic Flute]

HOCKEY My fav. Martin Brodeur.

[edawg99]

Oh yeah Brodeur is the best goalie in NHL history and owns many records for a goalie.

[open32]

To watch I would have to say number 1 is Basketball number 2 Football, but with both my teams playing the way there are, at the moment id rather watch Curling then watch them play.

To play I like Racquetball and Tennis.

Hockey and Wrestling

Is your mom Domenech's wife? Pires is "diestro", he can play both on the left and right, but obviously was more profiled on the left(like Hleb right now) during his time at Highbury. The undefeated Arsenal was probably one of the best teams of the last decade, and it's a shame they couldn't win in Europe(i'm not a gunner at all) but i'm not blind enuff to notice they probably have some of the most effective/stylish touch passing games we've seen. The spacing, pace, passing, timing are all just ridiculous.



I like Del Piero too, but most elegant striker? Nah!



At 1:22 splitting the defense and the "vaselina" to finish the keeper off. WHOA. His speed was average and while being tricky in terms of skills he was a class prue dribbler that could slice and dice and had a left foot that could do anything when striking the ball. He created feints of great simplicity and ingenuity to devastating effect.

For me, genius is more than simply being one of the best at attacking. It's the ability to do the unexpected, something completely ridiculous and pull it off successfully. The other type of genius is the ability to read the game to such a degree that the difficult things look simple. I've already talked about him before, but Laudrup has one of the best understandings of geometric spaces I've ever seen, passes that other players wouldn't even attempt are completed deftly and seemingly without effort.

For me it's Football[Soccer] when played @ it's best @ an high speed/attacking style i could watch hours of it..
0h & Rugby League :p
