HAHAHA. This thread is starting to become quite amusing. Credit to NZ... they played the defensive game like a fine art. Switzerland and NZ have both proved against the worlds best that defending can and will- if played correctly, get results.
Bud... That Nathan Brown leg break almost made me throw up when it first happened. Same with Stevie Johnson and his kidney. That guy is
TOUGH mentally and physically to still be playing the game.
AKR... My heritage is Spanish but thats a couple of generations back, as far as I'm concerned I'm plain Aussie with Aussie parents and I love the country. What were you living over here for?
I guess the point that should have initially been made is that although AFL is a hard hitting sport, people REALLY, REALLY underestimate the injuries associated with "Soccer." I for one can't play the game anymore because I tore my Anterior Talofular Ligament (correct spelling?) playing for Victoria and rushed the recovery.
Here's a good youtube vid for you Bud, because you seem like a bloke that can take a joke.
