On Gascoigne: Yes he's awesome. One of the best goals ever was made by him IMO. It's the one from Euro '96 where he lobbed the ball over a player's head and then hammered it in the net. Fuck that was good. Only time I ever soiled myself from watching a football game. 
Dont remind me  one of the most painful 2 minutes of my life. Scotland miss a penalty (thanks Uri Geller!!!) and then from the kick off Gazza scores a great goal and Motson creams himself.

Oh that was against Scotland??? I couldn't remember. Fantastic goal nevertheless.
Speaking of Scotland: It's such a shame that they didn't beat Brazil in the opning match of the World Championships in 1998. They almost had it for a second there. Such a shame really.
To me, there's no better sport than British football. It's great.  |

Yeah we lost to an own goal, from Tom Boyd, country came to a standstill for that game, the game was in the afternoon so we all walked out of school early, loads of people went to watch the game in big screens in Glasgow with their face painted etc. Brazil scored from a corner after 1min and we all feared a tanking, however out of the blue a penalty! and John Collins scored and it was 1 - 1, then the own goal came with about 8min left. Such a disapointment to lose the way we did, its the Scotland way though, so near and yet so far...and ultimately glorious failure. Right about football though, it always surprises you, definately the greatest sport in the world.

As a proud season ticket holder at the beautiful and Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field...this girl bleeds Cubby Blue in her veins.
Call me a loser, I'll tell you to 'Fuck Off'.
Meet me in the bleachers on a sunny afternoon, I'll buy you a beer!
GO CUBS!

you're not the first person on the internet to think that, to be honest. I've been called "Gazza" before anyone had ever heard of Paul Gascoigne, however. In the UK,if your name is Gary or if it begins with "Ga", you tend to get called "Gazza". |

I was 99% sure you were a Cubs fan. I was also 100% sure you were very 'partisan' about it too whatever team it was. Didnt list you in my original 'line up' at the start of this thread howver, because of the 1% of doubt - as I knew I'd catch hell if I got it wrong! |

Wow, what a great idea for a thread!
Gazza is spot on, I do follow Gillingham!
Between the ages of 10 - 16, I was an absoloute football nut. Gillingham and Manchester United were my only two loves. I remember the days when I'd be on the terraces at Prestfield and I'd travel to away games to see the Gills too. Great memories of traveling to Wembley and watching the Gills get beaten By evil Man City right at the last hurdle.. NOT! I had a mate who was an Oasis nut at the time, I don't think he's listend to them since!
PS: Sorry Zeeta, I can see Leeds going the same way as Shefield Wednesday! |

No chance pal - we're pushing for a play-off place? Have you not seen the table?!??!

i don't understand football. 88 minutes of running around, two minutes of excitement.
i will say this: i saw beckham place a ball in the corner of a net for a goal once- he had about a 2x2 box to aim for and he nailed that bastard from about 30 to 40 feet away. pretty impressive. although beckham is a sissy boy, the derek jeter of european football.
rugby, now that is fun to watch! |

You don't understand football??? I love it. The tactics, the dribbles, everything about it is cool. Tennis...........Now there's a boring sport. |

I only follow concert busses. Sports took a backseat once I started hitting concerts like a second job.
But I guess to answer the question, I like the Bulls, Indians, and Broncos and even though I've not seen them play, yet, the Buffs for college football. |

lmao, Gazza!
When I first read the beginning of the thread, I thought to myself..."Gee, HOWE could Gazza forget the fact that I'm usually on a Cubby rampage 6 months out of the year, lol..."
Better to be safe than sorry, huh? |

Yeah you did seem surprised the other night in London when I mentioned that! I was as anal about football back in the mid 70's when I was about 11 or 12 as I later became about music!
reason why I remember that guy was because I was very into German football at that time, particularly the national team - was a big fan of players such as Beckenbauer, Overath and ESPECIALLY Gerd Muller. |
