Ive heard about some of the England players moaning about safety. Aparently they want the Government to make a decision on it and the Government want the England squad to make a decision to go or not. If theres any team that shouldnt have to play in Zimbabwe it should be us. Either way the ICC is gonna be pissed off whatever we do, they always are.

I prefer Test Match cricket myself.

Sorry Frozzy, you’re more than welcome to have an opinion about my country, but your opinion, and that of most people in the rest of the world is wrong. Comparing South Africa to a nation that is ruled by a power-hungry tyrant, or a nation burdened by corruption, is not only unfair, but blatantly ignorant.

We may not be perfect – but we get closer every day. Come visit us one day. I trust you’ll understand us better then.

With the same logic you could say, that the US is an unsave place to go. Just think of the Bronx or other areas like those......

Or as a black being in the south. can be dangerous as well.

Means, the US is as bad Zimbabwe or Kenia !!!!!!!!

And DoT,

never been to SA, but what I heard and seen (actually by friends who went there), mostly a nice country.

Anyway, I know a lot of you think cricket is an insect...

We are not that ignorant although you should not ask any country outside of the former commonwealth how is it played or what are the rules... I must admit this game sounds as strange as Baseball but I would never commit the mistake to write they are the same, they are related the same way Rugby and (US) Football are...

Schmasketball! or shmicket! who gives a **** when the HM in handball is on!!!!!!

Zaphod Beeblebrox · January 31, 2003, 10:24

well, i can freely say that i'm not interested in watching any sports at all

Frozzy · January 31, 2003, 14:49

DoT, I suppose... I thought there was a lot of crime in SA... I watched a reality TV show where they went around the world, and they had to go to a slum or something in Johannesburg. A woman on the bus said (it was with camera) "Do not go there! If you go there you will be killed".

Kind of scary, but I agree, the wildlife and the fact you have a stable democracy (compared to the other African countries) is impeccable.

I was merely relating to the crime levels (since the report was on security at the world cup.

Issy, handball is illegal in soccer

And how can you not enjoy the competative influence of soccer Zappy doo doo

Double Post!

soccer isn't bad, but it means nothing compared to the illinois-michigan game on sunday. Illinois is 35-1 at home in the last 2 and a half years, with Michigan State giving the illini their only loss, its time for a rematch, this time at Michigan State

Frozzy · January 31, 2003, 17:26

England vs. Argentina.

Need I say more?

As far as I am concerned:

Would you prefer England?

Frozzy · January 31, 2003, 18:51

But that WAS our B team, and it was at Twickenham...

You can't even beat our B Team at home

ískallin · January 31, 2003, 19:22

handball is the best
and i and few of my friend play rugby with a little "adjusted rules here in the winter, we play it in snow and it is a little similer to ehhh a kick box or wrestling... it keeps us warm when the heet goes dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooown

You forget the referee should have whistled a penalty try for France and that the AB scored two very lucky tries.

But it is not important as we only care about the A teams.

Twickenham will be the first stage of our victory in the RWC.

A new game is born: Norsemen's Rugby.

Frozzy · January 31, 2003, 19:28

Nah... the old Poms look good at home... I reckon they'll win the old 6 nations this time... but only because England and France is at Twickenham

France will win because everybody thinks they will loose. Do you remember a semi-final in the last world cup?

I wouldn't like to be a hooker in a collapsed scrum... lots of weight on top, ice cold below...

Do you know there is a Rugby thread in the Off-Topic part of the Apolyton Forum Frozzy? You are welcomed as long as you don't speak about S****** and L***** Rugby. Some of the posters here even freely speak about Cricket (that is authorized).

well, i always wonder why people enjoy watching 24 (iirc) more-ore-less-adult men (or women sometimes) running behind and fighting for one ball.

sure there would be enough money to get everyone a ball of his or her own, so they could just be happy and do someting usefull with their lives, like playing ctp for example

Frozzy · January 31, 2003, 20:58

But sport allows you to get out there, cheer for the team you feel passionate about, sing for the pride of your team.

It's a great thing, sport.
