And then make it so you have to have at least X posts and Y days on the site to start new threads. This would cut down on some of the worst threads on here.

Exactly. When Europe holds the cards in the voting process, you're not going to see any favors done for the USA.

He made a "movie" in 2009 about soccer (kinda)...google his username and it shows up in a youtube video. I'm not going to link it (please others don't either) because he gets free publicity that way.

It's probably some weird fetish.

No, that's a spoof video created by someone else that was fed up with his forum soccer fetish.

Rugby 7's will be debuting in the olympics in 2016. Not sure if they ever plan to add the full 15 player game (Union style god willing, not league) but 7's is a good start, especially if they're trying to draw interest in a faster paced game.

I rest my case.

Thanks for that tidbit of info, though.
