Which is a fast, dynamic game with an offside rule designed to bamboozle you, again in stark contrast to the odd pace of an American football game. Again, a truly global sport. Here's a tip; get a decent sport channel and watch non-US sports for a change - you'll like it. Also, note that there's no popular or serious take-up of American Football outside the USA. There's a league here in the UK, but I think 3000 people on a Saturday afternoon is a good turn out. If they're getting serious gates, they're keeping it well hidden.

Post #193,620 by Nightowl 2/8/05 12:43:57 PM Reply	That's a good start I just need somewhere that explains the differences between American Football and European Football. And it would help to know what Rugby is also Any suggestions for a good site to give descriptions of each sport, Peter?
