Concussions: The end of (Aussie Rules) Football?

After I'm shot on the spot. Which country do you recommend that I go to for health care?

Hey USA#9:
If you can dish it out (which you do more than anyone on the planet) you should be able to take it. Cmon people.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, but I want a channel dedicated to it

this is so great.

your heart ain't in it, americano

watched it. u should open a thread dedicated to it and teach us american's the rules. no idea what was going on or how u keep score but that was amazing!

Given the size and the interest in soccer Mexico is the most underachieving country by a mile. Every other country that's done anywhere near as poorly as them is either a fraction of the size or has one or more sports ahead of soccer. Must suck.

really surprised to see cruizin post a thread titled "USA#1 USA#1 USA#1 USA#1 USA#1 USA#1 USA#1 USA#1 USA#1" but i guess he finally realized how superior we are in every single possible way. they dont even have soccer to claim anymore lololol.

england(with smaller population but bigger interest) comes fairly close

there's def an undercurrent of people not wanting little timmy to play afl because of head injuries, and there have been many rules brought in the last few yrs to punish head high hits more severely as well as taking off guys who've been concussed (which is poorly enforced obviously). mostly influenced by the nfl cases afaik

i would guess that it's not quite as big of a problem as with nfl because of the nature of the sport; the players aren't as big/athletic/explosive, and head-on tackles are less common. but you never know, it's a full contact sport and the awareness of the issue isn't as high as it is in america. might become a bigger issue in the future, a guy retired just last week due to breaking his face one too many times

the idea that you're looking to match anecdotes to prove whether or not the USA is indeed #1 is quite awesome, and I envy those who get to experience your thought processes on an everyday basis and go home feeling infinitely better about themselves.

^ Can't stop watching at your avatar

mexico, indonesia (200m+), and nigeria (175m), yeah.

funniest part is OP is american and lives here by choice

USA #1

I have a friend working in Dallas setting up some stuff for phone carriers (emerging market ITT)

He says you americans are socially awkward and fat

lolusa#16

All of this, but the gif in OP is still pretty good.

I have no idea what is going on in this thread, but as a European and a soccer-fan I would like to thank the US team for playing with dignity, sportsmanship, never giving up and having delivered some very enjoyable games.

And I don't say that to be nice. I think the US has lifted the game. Watching a soccer team who doesn't dive, doesn't yell at the referee, can shake hands with their opponents, always play with maximum effort but still tries to play really fair is truly a breath of fresh air.

You also played very well, but it seems Belgium finally became the team its lineup suggested it should be.

all true

but doesnt change the fact USA's best player vs a mediocre Euro team was their goalkeeper

His post indicates that he's never been to the US either.

This is why you should never start threads. This gif should have been in your OP. Instead you post USA#1 twenty times and the same gif twenty times. Zero originality.

But I guess that's what I should expect from someone who was born, raised and lives in the US, yet cheers for Mexico.

Another gif you should have used in your OP. Of course Sugar Nut has posted it 700 times in eight hours, so maybe not.

Just no originality in the lolthreads by non-Americans.....

Saddened, not upset. I have no faith in mankind to continue the lol tradition.
