Hey UK

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!!


You guys must be crazy stoked to have to REAL football coming to you country, even if it is only for one day. It kinda sucks cuz it's Chicago vs. Tampa Bay but hey what can you do.

its called HANDEGG

I personally feel handegg is more suitable to Rugby as the size of the ball is larger around giving it a more egg shaped look than a football.

Spoiler:

But that's besides the point. Don't sully this special day for our bros across the pond. I know they've been counting the days and wit hit being so close no the wait must be unbearable.

CALL IT AMERICAN RUGBY THEN

Why would we call it American anything? We are in America. Australians call Australian football just football. If the Neatherlands had it's own variation of a game you wouldn't call it "Dutch ____", the rest of the world would. Anyway, I digress.

Because you like to plaster AMERICAN on anything.

Or "Rugby for pussies", as it's more commonly known.

They must have really loved watching Tampa Bay get destroyed by the Patriots to want to see them get shut out again.

Even though they wear pads, I fail to see what you are basing that statement on considering the collisions are so much more violent. To be honest, even though there are some hard hits in rugby, they are few and far between. They really don't need pads, which is why I assume they don't wear them. To each his own I guess.

Putting New England up against Tampa Bay wasn't really fair. At least this time they will get to see two teams that are on each others level.

This was quite a huge event in London today. Sold out Wembley Stadium. Seems like each year they do it the crowd gets crazier and crazier. Now there are talks of London trying to get their own NFL team. That would be stupid but it's good to see the football love across the pond. Too bad it wasn't really a close game until the end.

Oh i saw this in trafalgar square yesterday, outside the national gallery there was a giant inflatable bear is that like chicago's mascot?

Anyway didn't see any cheerleaders so i didn't care and tehre was a big tv with people i didn't recognise on it.

Yea it was the Chicago Bears vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The girl i was with decided to ask me about how i knew what was going on. I then said nothing because admitting i'm an avid gamer and on the web all the time, is something i don't feel i need to share. I just said one of my american friends was telling me about it.

Haha don't worry, I would have done the same thing if the roles were reversed.

I didn't get the game on TV but oh well.

Yea you would've had to been in the Tampa or Chicago markets as to us it was just another regular season game.

I had the Chargers/Jets game (A WTF retarded game in the end) and the Falcons/Lions.

Here were I live we get all the Steelers games. My Pats had a by week so that's the game I watched.

Same thing with the Eagles here. A good amount of the time I'll get the Pats as well.
