I'm American yo
I work at the US naval academy [sp](where I was when I found this article)[/sp]
I don't think you GET more american than that
Nah it's just posting handegg is usually out of disrespect and sounds like you're sucking up incredibly hard to Europeans and just trying to be edgy, especially given the fact that you were born in the United States.
How do you fix a game in a sport where no one scores?
[QUOTE=koeniginator;39474246]Oh, for a second I though this was about American Football, specifically the superbowl, and was excited to see shitstorm. :v:[/QUOTE]
For a second as I clicked this thread I thought to myself "I knew that interception pass was so bad it was intentional!"
[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;39476233]How do you fix a game in a sport where no one scores?[/QUOTE]
well obviously not all "fixed" games will end with the result those that fixed it intended. fixing games is usually done by influencing referees to give favourable decisions to one team and not another. you can't really fix it so that a game will definitely end with a particular score

It's all in good fun man
I mean like shit, the ravens won the superbowl everyone else can suck mah dick
[QUOTE=Megafan;39474988]If you don't like that name, like I said it's also called gridiron. Handegg just sounds dumb and no one in their right mind would actually call it that seriously.
It'd be like me calling football 'footsy' or 'kickers'.[/QUOTE]
Gridiron sounds like an evil wizard though
[QUOTE=Scot;39474951]Why did handegg have to be called football. I'm serious does anyone know why?[/QUOTE]
I read somewhere that it is called Football because the ball is actually a foot long. Not sure if it's true or not, but that would just raise complaints about America not being on the metric system.
Can't please everyone, I guess :v:
This title is rubbish I thought you was talking about the Championship. That is the second league in English Football.
I believe you mean the Champions League. Please change accordingly
its all true, the 49ers should have won
[QUOTE=Megafan;39474901]Title is 'Football championship match discovered to be rigged'.
"The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL)..."
Not an impossible thing to think, but a bit of a stretch all the same. You'd think if it were the Super Bowl it would just say it in the title.[/QUOTE]
not too much of a far stretch since the super bowl was literally a day ago
[QUOTE=paul simon;39476362]Gridiron sounds like an evil wizard though[/QUOTE] gridiron sound like some straight gangster shit. like it's some slang for jail or something. "yo man if i slip again imma be goin to the gridiron for life"
It's not real football, so who cares?
[QUOTE=koeniginator;39474246]Oh, for a second I though this was about American Football, specifically the superbowl, and was excited to see shitstorm. :v:[/QUOTE]
To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if it was in at least some way biased. We already make a fuckhuge deal out of it for some strange reason, after all, I'm sure there's a lot of money to be made somewhere.
[QUOTE=paul simon;39476362]Gridiron sounds like an evil wizard though[/QUOTE]
Gridiron sounds awesome. Like some shit they played in the Roman Colosseum where the losing team get's executed afterwords while the winners bathe in their blood and trot their heads around town.

Isn't this the american real football fan? Since most euros generally don't really care much for american football.
yea this is the american soccer fan type. i'v seen people like that before. i'm actually more keen to soccer and rugby to baseball, football, and basketball, but god damn some american soccer fans are annoying.
[QUOTE=Uberpro;39475007]I don't see anybody mixing up football with American football in the NFL related threads.[/QUOTE]
'Cuz the people [i]in[/i] the NFL threads are probably American, and to Americans association football is more commonly known as soccer.
Man this thread has gotten derailed. I'm hope they release a report about this soon, I wonder what teams are involved. Hopefully not Bayern!

Maybe you should edit the picture to say "The American Football Fan" since people from Europe dont give a shit about American Football.
[QUOTE=scout1;39474965]I didn't know it had another name[/QUOTE]
you actually thought "handegg" was a name for it? lol
[QUOTE=Gekkosan;39480848]you actually thought "handegg" was a name for it? lol[/QUOTE]
No I didn't know it had an actual other name such as "gridiron"
Of course it's called football/american football

The "real football fan" looks at America and wonders how the hell a country can play a sport only against itself and still call itself the World Champion.

start your own goddamn teams then
[editline]5th February 2013[/editline]
if you come out ontop of every other team in the world, you are the world championship

Are you fat, driving a mobility scooter with a gun attached?
Every fucking football thread gets derailed into something concerning Americans calling NFL football. Little more about the article? I mean it's about one of the biggest competitions in football and it being rigged.
[QUOTE=notlabbet;39476887]its all true, the 49ers should have won[/QUOTE]
The very fact that the 49ers played the Ravens was a sign the Ravens would win, as they always lose to the Ravens in everything :v:
I still don't know why people like soccer so much, it's such a boring sport to watch.
[QUOTE=hiphip;39481857]I still don't know why people like soccer so much, it's such a boring sport to watch.[/QUOTE]
Not more boring than any other sport in my opinion.
[QUOTE=Bassplaya7;39480503]Man this thread has gotten derailed. I'm hope they release a report about this soon, I wonder what teams are involved. Hopefully not Bayern![/QUOTE]
Since a lot of referees are involved too it's pretty safe to assume that they were at least influenced indirectly by getting different matches and so on.
