The Premiership season starts in just over a week and i thought it would be in the spirit if we had our own Fantasy Football League, so i created a Nationstates League! Just go to www.premierleague.com, scroll to the bottom left, click on Fantasy Football League, register, pick your team and then click 'leagues' on the right hand side and type in this code to enter the Nationstates League 71938-13819. I hope that wasn't too much for you to do lol, hopefully i'll see you all in there!

American football is real football. I guess I should have guessed that it was soccer when I saw the name of the person who started the thread.

No Soccer is the original Football seeing as English football was created before american football. Thus we hold the word 'original'.

How can the Coca Cola Championship be better than the Premier League lol. There's a reason why the 3 best teams from the Championship go into the 'prem' and the 3 worst teams from the 'prem' go into Championship...

Better football. Teams may not be as good, but it's more competive and teams have to work. Every year it's a compition, not just 3 or 4 teams for the top spot, it's 10 or 11 teams for the playoffs every year.

I know, it can be very exciting, my team Crystal Palace went up through the play-offs after being in the relegation zone in december!

Aye, and heart breaking, after that loss to Sheffied United in the playoffs a year or two ago. Now that was awfull. Even worse that the SU fans started singing "Easy!" At us.

Division 1 looks like being really exciting this season. There's a lot of strong teams all thinking they've got a good chance of promotion - West Ham, Wolves, Ipswich, Sunderland, Leicester, Sheffield United and my team, Leeds (ahem).

Leeds-ROLF.

I reackon you'll be another Bradford mate. You'll middle table this season and next season have a relegation battle and the season after that you'll be down with the Direby.

American Football is great! I'd probably like Rugby...but most ignorant Americans like me have no clue how its played (just being honest).

Nobody else in the World plays American Football.

All it is is 50 people who eat 2000 eggs a day running into each other really fast. And the team with the most mass usually manages to push the other team across the line for the 'touchdown' (boring).

I totally agree with you, i decided to watch the superbowl last year to see what the fuss was about, suffice to say it didn't live up to expectations...I ended up falling asleep after about 10 minutes *yawn*

If nobody else in the world plays American Football. How in the hell do you explain NFL Europe and Germany itself having at least two teams?

To answer your question; Just because there is a minority of useless american wannabes making teams doesn't mean anyone takes any notice of there games, just look at their attendances and lack of any media coverage lol.

Anyway on to the more important issue of me whipping everyones arse in the Nationstates Fantasy Football League, watch out everyone, its going to be a public slaughter! haha

Just out of interest, and it should create some "friendly banter :)" what teams does everyone support? And who do you think is going to win/do well/get no points at all etc. ?

....I swear to god I never knew that. Just goes to show, everyone apart from Americans hates the bastardization of Rugby (American Football), and don't even TRY to claim American Football is more popular.
