England vs Australia

[citrusjava]

I am trying to watch rugby. Because I suspect I would like sports if I got into it, I just never had anybody into it to show me the way. And people were talking about this game, so I decided to try it.

1) The most relat3able thing for me was some story about someone playing AC/DC's Thunderstruck during training (?) for some reason (?) - the AC/DC part I did get right....

2) Holy shit! Sports are violent! Those people are slamming into each other, jumping and grabbing each other in the air, lifting each other up to catch the ball! I am used to European football, they don't do that then, that I know !

3) I kinda feel like trying that sort of jump where you lunge yourself into someone's middle and just go for it

I'm not a sports person, in that I have no real investment in attending games for teams I'm not on, or don't know anyone on, but that sporting spirit can be a lot of fun. There's also good fic, I hear--at least, in hockey fandom, which I know slightly more about because I have friends in it.

Sports are indeed violent! Or can be. Which was nice, in that cathartic kind of way, because nowadays, I'm just like, gdi I wanna FUCK SHIT UP RIGHT NOW but I need it to be legal. >.> Circus is sorely lacking in the fucking up of shit, though given the nature of it, that's probably for the best. XD Speaking from personal experience, body checking (while not game-legal in soccer, which I played) is pretty epic. ;)

right? It seems like it could be so fun!


I've listened to a bunch of Hockey RPF, and some of Candle_Beck's.... baseball....? some sport!.... - fic, and there's a lot of fun fic about these people I try to know nothing about outside of fanon!....
I would like to get together with th girls to waatch a game or stuff, though

I imagine Kaner looks just like Victor Krum. Both of them are in my imagination, so that doesn't help anybody else understand me much. But this kind of.... not handsome, thin, gawky, a bit hunched over, a bit strange, but not unattractive? Large features, short dark hair that looks like someone else cut it quickly and without patience.

I know he doesn't look that way but fine.


You played soccer! That is so so cool!


Totally on board with a little fucking things up....


wht is body checking?

That thing where you lunge yourself at someone else and just go for it. XD Since it's not technically part of the sport in soccer you generally come from the side, though, and it's shoulder/hip-based.
