How could you be voting Volleyball over Rugby. Surely the lol girls factor gets old by now.

how the fuck is volleyball winning.

just because hot girls play it?

Rugby is simply a hugely better, more entertaining game, so it gets my vote.

I'll be disappointed if it loses.

I chose Volleyball because although rugby looks interesting it seems like its impact is very minor outside a few select countries. And also it's just a football derivative where football is just the clear winner on all fronts. (So it suffers from the same that American Football. Apart from a couple of countries no one really cares)

EDIT: Looking at the amount of teams in World Championships in rugby vs volleyball it seems as if there have been as many different rugby teams in all world championships ever as there are countries with a medal in the volleyball world championship.

..Is your arguement that Volleyball is more global than Rugby, because you do realise all you need for Volleyball is a net and a ball.

Rugby is on a totally different level to Volleyball.

I like Volleyball better than Rugby because it's more novice friendly. Anyone can just join in and play without having to learn too much and be afraid of getting hurt. (Of course, you can get a smash directed at your face, but in Rugby the physical violence is pretty much encouraged so that does put a few people off of it compared to Volleyball.)

And that's what makes it great - the ability to set up a play area almost anywhere. You just can't do that with Rugby.

To be honest, if you're just looking for some fun, all you need is a rugby ball..

There is only one reason why volleyball is currently putting up a very good fight against Rugby (tied at 11-11 right now): it's played by hot chicks. Yes, this is true and undeniable. Rugby is almost always played by big, strong men, while volleyball is played competitively by both men and women.

However, I voted rugby, because I think it's much more fun to watch.

Since when did I imply that it is all luck? Poker does have luck in it. If you don't believe that you're only fooling yourself. In fact, any sport has luck in it.
It was implied by "which one will just run out of luck?" when it's a well known fact that people consider Poker to be a game of luck. Luck -is- a factor in Poker, but in any good player's game, it will NOT be the deciding factor. You can win a game on the worst hands possible if you're good. And you can lose with a great hand because someone's pushing you out or bluffing that they've got an even better hand.

Have you ever watched a match of volleyball.
It is boredom. Always the same thing going on.
Hot Chicks? Go to the internet for that.

Rugby is Europe, Australia (including New Zealand), South Africa and several South American countries.
Few select countries? EAT MY SHORTS BASEBALL
Rugby is the most pure of all sports.
It is like drinking the most fresh water, that sense of purity fucko.
And it is fun to watch as it is not even like football in where you come and go all over the field all the time.
To advance on the field it is pure struggle.
And that struggle is what makes rugby so attractive.

Nadal is having physical problems.

Nole had a very tiresome match against Stepanek. Historical match they say (set winners were all by 7 and not by 6).
And now Nole has to play against Del Potro (argentine 18/19 year old "promise") who has been playing pretty sharp these last matches, so the result will be interesting.

And hot damn, I saw some of Calleri's match against Hewitt yesterday. Calleri was throwing winners everywhere, even some tite return winners.
Vamos Gordo!
Sucks he must now play against Pico Monaco, another argentine.

So for me, college football season kicked off great.  I am a Michigan State fan (as I go to state,) and they fucking creamed UAB  55 to 18.  Michigan lost to Appalacian State in probably the biggest upset ever.  And I'm happy about that. They ended up loosing in the last 24 seconds to a field goal kick.  They were down the entire game, came back at the last minute then lost to a field goal. :words: :words:

Basketball is way more fun to watch, play both virtually and in real life, and is a lot more fun because you can include a lot of your friends.
