the game they play in heaven
Merry Xmas, everyone, I feel I must bring some commonsense to this discussion. There is a place for all codes of " football" in our country , here is why....... Start children with " soccer', let them learn coordination, kicking with both feet, spacial awareness over the entire field, let them play A.F.L. to to teach them to kick the oval ball, to catch the oval ball, and to develop fantastic aerobic fitness. Then, let them play N.R.L to toughen them up, teach them to defend, and after all this, let them play the game they play in Heaven, Rugby!!!. After all, there are only two football games on Earth that can be truly called international , one, "soccer", will never be beaten in that regard, the other two are just great pretenders. With all due respect to N.R.L. & A.F.L., until they play a South African or New Zealand or Welsh or English or Scottish or Samoan or Fijian or Tongan or Japanese or......... I think you get my drift! Having said that, I enjoy all codes in our country, magnificent athletes all , as long as they understand are doing an apprenticeship before playing the game they play in Heaven.
