Cannel 4 sucks because it has advertising! Imagine watching a test match all day… UNINTERUPTED!!!! [i]{be still my beating heart!}[/i]

I have the same feelings as you about football (soccer). With the world cup coming up, life is gonna be hell!

Well, it seems we are at opposite ends of the proverbial sporting stick!!!
I love football and when the greatest sporting showpiece hits my T.V next month, you’ll find me sitting in the back garden with my tinnies enjoying every moment of the beautiful game.
In case you haven’t guessed…I loathe cricket, have you ever noticed that it is mostly played by countries that are crap at football!?!
It’s too slow for my liking and they are not really athletes, I can never see how anyone can get excited about it, it seems totally the opposite of the excitement and thrill football generates.
I mean let’s face it, the cricket world cup is lame next to THE World Cup, the whole world will be going crazy when it kicks off in Korea and Japan.
I remember taking an interest in the last international cricket match England played, half the stadium was empty, and Cricket has even attempted to bring a bit of football into the game, they have changed from the boring whites to the colourful kits you would see football teams wear.
This is all in an effort to gather more fans, but the news is grim for Cricket, as it is still losing interest in the UK.
Obviously India, Pakistan and Australia will always have a big following, as will the people in this country who originated from those countries…but most kids want to be around football.
But football is our national sport, and like it or loathe it, it is important to this nation…the same cannot be said of Cricket.
