There are supposedly ways to get illegal cable and blah blah blah that would let you watch whatever you want but I do not know all the information. I would be really happy to just get a nascar race from time to time which also went away with ESPN.
Anyway, have fun watching Rugby which is like 3 guys trying to shove 2 guys up another guy's *ss! I have been here over a year now and still can't watch rugby or cricket for more than five minutes.

I used to play in my college team back in Turkiye, but then I graduated and started working here in the UAE. I really wish I could continue football here too.Anyone know anything about this?

I absolutely hated it. It was soooo boring. They play for 5 secs then break then walk around the feild drink water, fart around for the next ten minutes then again they all huddle up and then play for another 10 seconds and they go through the the routine again. Just when you think its going to get intresting it stops !
In a telecast that lasts for around 3 hours there might be actuall 2 minutes worth of play in it...YAWN !!!! ....booooooooorrrrriiiiiiiiig !

Why is that NFL players should wear TIGHT shorts and BLOODY bend over in front of their team mates (bloody talk about batty boys ) and then you wonder why the women love NFL so much. YUCK
As for rugby, I dont see whats so fascinating about 22 guys running around the pitch, socked wet and literally chasing a guy NOT the ball but a guy :s YES A GUY and then you wonder why so many women watch rugby so much. And damn I cant watch the scenes when they fall on top of the next guy for no reason. They see some guy on the floor, and they will go hey lets go fall on him and have a good rub in the wet mud and lets get all dirty while we at it
And when they all fall over, you will see some guys sticking his head out behind some other guys a s s. its like a big time orgy seriously bloody gay orgy.

Well, in April a year ago, it probably wasn't noteworthy post. I only responded because I had relevant anecdote. To be honest, Its been over a year since I posted anything on this forum. It was only through happenstance I even had an opportunity to respond.

They all try to find a good cricket, football or tennis team but eventually they end up on a forum, try to find 11 guys and have fun on a football field , in the wet grass
