The reverse is aso true. During the last Olympics, I watched hockey and found it far more interesting and exciting than American football or baseball.

Ottok was a finnish(?) apolytoner whose english was so bad that it was hard to figure out what he was trying to say. Some people were rather hard on him, and he went away.

Which reminds me, I played roller hockey once... I'm no sports fan, but it was great.

Rugby is good too... intense to watch. Though I stay away from it as much as I can at school.

Nah, onlu in Mexico and Spain I think.

There's a bullfight type of thing in the northwest here, but it's without picadors, banderilleros and matadors, just toreadors with capes.

There are bullfights also in France, Portugal, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. Probably some other smaller countries as well. In Portugal the bull is not killed -- that's why all the Portuguese matadors cross the border .

TJ's bullfights are... ehm, entertaining The best by far and large is the spectators

This reminds me of the book "Ferdinand," about the gentle bull who gets sent to Madrid to fight. Was this translated into Spanish?

"Once upon a time in Spain, there was a little bull named Ferdinand. All the other bulls he lived with would run and jump and skip and butt their heads together. But not Ferdinand. He liked to sit just quietly and smell the flowers..."

A very good story, one of my daughter's favorites.

Marquis, yes Not the book but the Disney recreation of the story. Good ol' Ferdinando, the gay bull

It's also one of my daughter's favorites.... and also of my own childhood.

It's so funny the way Hollywood depicted Spain in the 30s-40s (?). It looked suspiciously identical to Mexico

I never quite understood however why the name Ferdinand was 'spanishized' to Ferdinando, when it should have been Fernando, a very common name

I guess that's quite like a "capea" then. Just a bunch of drunken friends emulating bullfighters, preferably fighting "vaquillas", not toros, of course.

Ottok may have had more than just poor English. He had a very strange logic/structure in his posts. I would say 70/30 that he had some other mental issues. I remember Stefu saying this once. (He denies that he did say this. That's what I remember though...)

It's curious the different ways that we like sport

I was just kidding around, i dont care what you call it, i think we all know what each other mean.

As for the comment about our soccer league ... its all part of our plan, we pretend to be bad, that way we can launch surprise victories and beat teams like portugal!
