Ice soccer/ice football sounds interesting, it would be interesting to learn how different hockey would be if played with a sphere instead of a fisk

Thanks, I didn’t know this was a thing

fisk

Footfisk: it's like football except rather than a ball it's a large chunk of lutefisk.

A group of us were watching the Soccer/Futbol world championship one year, and ran out of beer. We got back with food and more beer 45 minutes later, to find out we had missed 0 scores, and 0 shots on goal. I don't think there were any statistics that are tracked that changed during that period of time.

Make the court smaller, and ice it over. That'll speed it up enough to be interesting, at least. To prevent floppers, give everyone a stick that is ostensibly to push the ball around.

Lol, Americans

Always good for a laugh

It's 02/02/2020 where I live.

Huh, neat. And in an hour or two, it'll be 2:02:02(.020202...) 02/02/2020.

The thing is that he doesn't understand what makes a game a good game.

Americans are to sport what Bay is to action movies. Or, as I used to put it, Americans like their sports like they like their sex - in disappointing six second bursts and then you stuff yourself with food to relieve the boredom

My friend's born and bred Norwegian, and has precisely zero interest in football. "Too long of a game played on too large of a field with too few players", or something to that effect.

Myself? I honestly don't care enough about sports to evaluate whether it's better or worse than the other things I don't engage in.

Baseball is best game, because it involves a hero unit violently striking an object with a blunt weapon, producing a loud crack reminiscent of a skull being fractured.
Meanwhile you can wander off and buy hot dogs and nachos. The crack can still be heard from the food stands, so you're not missing anything important.

That's to be expected, apparently all Norwegian have asthma x600

If I could stop time, I could do that anime thing where a swordsman runs past someone, and then after they're past, that someone suddenly is wounded.
