NFL is the gayest shit along side the NRL in aus, fucking boring crap, up and down the field. The only excitement i get out of this game is to not watch it.
@DillZ91 Wow, you're one sided on this aren't you. Let me ask, do you even know the rules in American Football? Almost all sports are up and down the field, there's only 2 sides to score on. I've watched all codes of football, i prefer American football. I like the big plays and violent hits that come with the nature of the game. It is also a bit more organized than other codes of football. I do have a question though... Was Sav Rocca considered to be a good player or just amateur in the AFL?
Fat Americans. take our old men to play your game at it's highest level. Such a large population and you need a real man past his prime to take the job some American pussy can't do.
Some of these comments are so fucking stupid, grow up, Aussies have more in common with Americans than any other country, we are more "Americanized" in our society and we both were fucked by the British at one point...lol :)
umm too the guy paying out australia we were the true heros of the gallipoli campaign and Australia got a hell of a lot less deaths in Vietnam compared to USA and saying that the other guy is a dumb ass is quite hypocritical since if US college grads wanna come and work in AUS they have to complete a whole new university course here since your diplomas aren't valid enough in AUS so calling an Aussie a dumb ass isn't helping your case in this argument
@ghost491 do you realise how much of a dumb ass you are? Don't bag his structure. Out of the select few reasons, out of millions, I made, you chose to respond to that. Don't play the military card you just don't have a foot to stand on. Kakoda enough said. You don't have a single victory like that. Tobruk another one. You couldn't even win a battle with the numbers in your favor. Anyways you uneducated comments distract me. You to still have to explain to the rest of us why you are the biggest
can some american please let us gutlesss weak ignorant australians know why nfl players have to wear shoulder pads LOL elbow pads LOL knee pads LOL helmets LOL and any other pad LOL. they dont even hit that hard in nfl compared to AFL. and for all the idiots out there...you are on youtube now so why dont you search AFL big hits or something before you comment back. :-)
(cont) hits your football has ever and will ever see and our game doesn't stop every 5 secs like yours so you can sook about all your cramps, bruises and corkies. And also we don't wear padding and helmets like you softcocks. So yeh how about you learn a few things before you open that big mouth of yours and make a total fool of yourself. you uneducated redneck gimp
@ghost491 you are a bit dumb aren't you. He is from Australia not Austria. And don't know what history books your reading but google Gallipoli and Kakoda. Just two examples of why Australians are known as some of the toughest soldiers your history has ever seen. I could list more for you but by the sounds of things that's all the reading you can handle. Oh and in Australia we also play football. And these footballers experience a bit more than the slightest contact. They are bigger than any hit
@middyo - getting massacred in Gallipoli is something to be proud of now? I don't quite understand your point.. your country is really good fodder? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but.. you landed in Gallipoli; got destroyed and then left after achieving nothing. I'm super impressed. You guys should really celebrate that, lolz. Respect your pride in being useless
@charliebrowne3185 I'll ignore the capitals, but you realise that Australia fought in Vietnam also, don't you? Any insinuation that you're making about an American fail in Vietnam was shared by the Austrians.. silly silly. At least Gallipoli didn't cost any US lives. As a result, USA was able to win the entire war for the allies.. But yeah, stay classy Elsternwick, try again next time
@ghost491 elsternwick??? thats not my point, aussies did get fucked up in vietnam, but so did the US. you guys landed there and got fucked up as well. my point is the US achieved sweet fuck all as well, and do you know what makes us stronger, we fight the US wars.
@ghost491 Haha. The US came into the war when Germany was nothing compared to its previous military power. By the way, Australia didn't lose 50,000 men in Vietnam, but out operations success rate was just as high as the US'.
@SKiiSMLIVE Fine, I won't reply, but if I did I would suggest you reconsider your allegation above. I never raised the Vietnam war. Why would I? This is a sporting video. Please dub dub step outta here son. I won't expect a reply from you because you 'aint got the balls.
if you wanna take shots about Gallipoli i think you will find Australia was under the command of British generals, who fucked up on may occasions, they fucked up the landing zone,
we took Chunuk Bair on the 1st day of the campaign, again the British fucked up and ordered to retreat the beaches,
the ANZAC's didnt lose Gallipoli, the British did.
if you wanna look at Vietnam the Yanks were fired on first 9/10 times, the Aussies fired on the VC 9/10 times 1st
and you wanna call us useless?? the yanks got their arses handed to them in WW2, you didnt win, the Russians won the war....
DDay was a massive failure.. the only reason they got passed the beach was simple weight in numbers. the Germans guns were superior, tanks were superior, then even had the ability to turn all their fuel to heavy water once their fuel supply was taken..
@mattymul29 I don't know how your little arguement started, but please never become a general or join the army, you do not know military strategy or your history. Eruope would be fucked if the US didn't help. One, the only reason GBR was still around, was because the US supplied them. 2, without the US, there is no 2 front war, so the Nazis could focus all of there attention on the Russians. Not to mention, the US also had to fight the majority if not, all, of the pacific war on japan.
@TheMagicBolt Its so funny how you say "Please don't ever become a General". You think that when moving up in the ranks someone wouldn't learn about military history? You can't just become a General off the street. By the way, the US lost less than one million men on the Western Front. Russian civilian deaths alone cover over double that. The European war was a Russian one.
@SKiiSMLIVE Here's where you fail. THe European war was a 2-front war. With out the western front, Russia is the Axis' only front to attack. WIth 2 front, they split that pressure and allow for defeat. You do know that the US military was jammng through Europe along with other allies on the Western front and had to wait for the USSR to reach Berlin.
@TheMagicBolt Here is where YOU fail. The Russians were already fighting a war against Germany on one front for THREE FUCKING YEARS! Why else do you think that it only took one year for the US to bring the war to an end? Because Germany was already on the retreat. Even when the US came into it, its well known that Germany's best troops were on the Eastern Front, where the MASSIVE majority of the fighting went on.
@SKiiSMLIVE Nope, still you that's failing. The US fought on both western and Southern Front or Northern Africa if you want to call it that. Russia had no real push into Europe until the US joined the war and relieved some pressure off of Russia. Not to mention the US didn't even have all of their troops in Europe because they were basically single handedly defeating Japan in the Pacific.
@TheMagicBolt Haha. Russia was on the offense before D-Day. Obviously a second front helped, but they were already winning. Most of Japan's troops were in Manchuria and occupying the rest of their empire. Remember, all the US did was island hop, there was still a shit ton of territory belonging to the Japanese. And in North Africa, the Aussies were the first to defeat the Germans, not the Americans.
@SKiiSMLIVE Well more like defense. The German pushed the Russians back then made a poor decision to attack during winter. That was the turning point. The war could of gone on much longer with many more deaths and possibly a different outcome without the US. In North Africa... The British were fighting first there against the Italians, then Patten came in and he and montgomery defeated Rommel. Learn your Japan WWII history mate, the US island hopped, the Japanese surrendered to the US.
@TheMagicBolt Exactly, a German error was the turning point of the war. NOT an American intervention. Yes, the Germans were defeated in North Africa after the Americans came, but the British had their first victories before the US joined the war. Stop telling me to "learn your history", because its not fucking hard to know that the Japanese surrendered. That is like saying, "learn your history, the Germans lost WWII". See how dumb that sounds?
@SKiiSMLIVE It was the turning point for the Russians. I honestly believe along with many scholars that if Hitler decides to wait until spring to attack Moscow, they would of taking the USSR. However, almost all scholars will tell you that the USSR would of lost the war eventually with no US intervention. THe Russian counter attack occurred mostly during winter against unprepared Nazi infantry. The US beat the Japanese basically by themselves that is a known and accepted fact.
@TheMagicBolt The Russians were already WINNING before the US landed on D-Day. Look at a map of Europe and Russia. Look at how big Russia is. The Germans didn't even reach Moscow, and look how much of Russia is left. Do you really think the Germans could occupy ALL that space? They could barely control the French Resistance. And sure, the Japanese surrendered to the US. But the HUGE majority of Japanese troops probably hadn't even fought an American before the end of the war.
@SKiiSMLIVE The Germans did reach Moscow, thats where they made their major mistake. As I said, it was during winter against unprepared German infantry that the USSR pushed the Nazis back, but the Germans would of retook what they lost if there was not a double front. Also, Britain would become a nonfactor if the US doesn't give them support. over 2 million japs died in ww2. Yeah, many more would of died in japan if the US doesn't drop the A-bombs. Any scholar will say the US is needed to win.
@TheMagicBolt Americans landed at D-Day June 6th, 1944. By the 30th of April, the Russians were in German-occupied Poland. There was ZERO chance for the Germans to recapture territory up to Stalingrad, with or without a second front. Even Wikipedia shows this. Look at a map of Europe and you'll see how far Stalingrad is from Western Poland. How was Britain a non-factor when they defeated the Luftwaffe, the most powerful air force in the world at the time, with British planes?
@SKiiSMLIVE Look at the map again. THe Germans were pushed back yes, because of unprepared soldiers. I've said this many times. However, both Britain and the USSR were being supplied by the Americans. Without those supplies, Hitler very well wouldn't of been pushed back, or at the very least, he would of recaptured lost territory. Britain was on their knees, the US kept them in it by supplying them, thats is a known fact. They were a factor because the US allowed them to be a factor.
@SKiiSMLIVE oh also, You really only need Moscow, Stalingrad, and Leningrad to take Russia, there's no major strong points beyond those cities. Just alot of land.
@TheMagicBolt Even if you were right, the Germans didn't take any of those cities. And it wasn't due to a America joining the war, it was the Russians that held those cities, and fought the Germans all the way back to Berlin. Whether you like it or not, WW2 was a Russian-German war. The Pacific Theater was an entirely different conflict, and it wouldn't have been referred to as WW2 if the war in Europe had never occurred.
@SKiiSMLIVE The Germans did Siege many cities including Leningrad. The Germans made their mistakes soon after, when Hitler decided to continue to attack in the Russian winter with unprepared soldiers. It had a toppling effect and Russia launched a counter offensive. During the counteroffensive and before it the US was supplying the USSR and Britain. You won't give the US credit on fighting the pacific war basically alone and commanding the Allies in the European war under Eisenhower?
@TheMagicBolt I never said I wouldn't give credit to Western Allied soldiers who gave their lives to save the world from the Nazi regime, and the Japanese empire. It is true, however, that the HUGE majority of lives lost in the Second World War occurred on the Eastern Front, where unforgivable atrocities happened to both sides. The Western Allies in Europe didn't have to experience this (luckily). The Japanese however, inflicted similar atrocities on Australians, Chinese, Americans and others.
@SKiiSMLIVE Yes, but lookly from a military strategy standpoint. The Allies were absolutely needed to win the war. With no Western Front, the Nazis would eventually gain momentum in the war. They wouldn't have to worry about things like Allied blockades and North Africa. They could focus all of their attention on the USSR, who would be beaten easily without the US supplying them.
@TheMagicBolt OMFG. "With no Western Front, the Nazis would eventually gain momentum". THE GERMANS WERE LOSING THE WAR BEFORE THE WESTERN FRONT WAS EVEN ESTABLISHED!!!! Also, I hope you know that the US provoked the Japanese into attacking them, and that it wasn't a 'surprise attack' like the government said.
@SKiiSMLIVE Wow... look up what eventually means. The USSR had momentum against unprepared soldiers in winter!!!!! The Germans were more advanced and better trained. THey would of won the war EVENTUALLY with no western front. WHy? because they would continue to focus their attention on Russia and with better equipment and prepared soldiers they'd push the Russians back just like they did before the winter when they weren't prepared. Japan said they wouldn't attack the US. It was a surprise.
@TheMagicBolt LOL The Russian T-34 was a better tank than any the Germans had, it was fast, easy to maintain, packed a punch and had good armour. And you still think the Russians were primitives right? Yeah sure, they had better trained soldiers, but guess what? THEY ALL FUCKING DIED! Russia had a HUGE population compared to Germany's. So I guess you're only missing one crucial fact in your infallible argument? LOL. The Japanese SAID they weren't going to attack, that makes it safe for America?
@SKiiSMLIVE Really? the German Tigers and Panthers outclassed the T-34. Yeah, tell me.. Why is it that the Germans were able to push the Russians all the way back to Moscow before the winter? Tell me.. Why couldn't the Germans do it again? As for Japan. Japan used peace talks with the US. They intended to tell the US they were going to attack but the attack came before the massage came. This meant it was a surprise attack to the US.
@TheMagicBolt That is absolute BS. It is a well known FACT that Tigers and Panthers would break down under their own weight. The Germans were able to advance against an unprepared Russian army which had just undergone a massive reformation. The Germans couldn't do it again because not only were the Russians organized, there were many more of them. If you knew anything at all about Pearl Harbor, you'd know that not only did Australia inform the US of an attack, but US servicemen also. Ignored.
@SKiiSMLIVE Any soldier from ww2 will tell you that the German Tigers and Panthers were the best tanks. Even scholars say it, i don't know where you got your info from because whoever said that the T-34 was better is full of crap. Oh, i get it, so you're saying that the Russians were getting beat because they were unprepared, but you won't say that the Germans got pushed back because they were unprepared? China has more manpower than the US today, but the US still has the most powerful military.
@TheMagicBolt By the best tanks you mean the best firepower right? Other than that, they were absolute shit. Slow and hard to maintain on the battlefield. In almost every aspect, the T-34 was the better tank. T-34s were crewed by people who had minimal training, and still were able to beat the highly trained German tank crews, even in their 'better' tanks. When did I ever state that Germany was prepared for a winter war? All I said was that they couldn't recapture lost territory.
@SKiiSMLIVE All i am saying is that almost anyone will say that Germans had the best tanks until the US put the Pershings into action. The T-34s beat out the panzer II and III. Then Germans upgraded their tanks however to beat out the T-34s. with the Panzer VI, tigers and panthers. You misunderstood me. I meant that you said the Russians lost because they weren't prepared. That is the same reason i gave for the Germans losing territory.
@TheMagicBolt Yet Russian tanks were still able to out muscle German ones. Funny how that works, huh? Okay, the Germans lost territory because they weren't prepared. The Russians were able to regain lost territory after the initial attack, why wasn't Germany able to do the same when they lost ground? Maybe because Germany was NEVER prepared for a war on such a massive scale. With or without the US supplies, Russia would have still won the war
@TheMagicBolt HOW DID THE WESTERN FRONT OPEN IN 1941 IF THERE WAS NO FREAKING WESTERN FRONT UNTIL D-DAY 1944!!??? By 1944, Germany was on the retreat back into previously captured Polish territory. FACT. The US didn't enter the war until the first victories against Germany had occurred. FACT. Germany would've lost the war with or without US military intervention. FACT!
@SKiiSMLIVE I said the US entered the war in 1941. I know the Western Front didn't come until 1944. By 1944, Germany was on the retreat back into previously captured Polish territory. FACT. The US did fight the AXIS in 1942. Operation Torch in North Africa. Hitler had to prepare for an invasion taking units out of the Eastern front. Germany would of beaten the soviets if the US didn't enter the war in 1941. Plus the whole Russian counterattack would of failed with no US support!
@TheMagicBolt The British had already beaten the German previous to US operations in North Africa. How can you credit the US for changing the result of the entire war, when all they did was enter after Germany was being held off or beaten? Actually, its quite the opposite. Rommel was the one who lost troops and tanks to the war in the East. Not the other way around. If you want to blame anyone for delaying Germany's advance into Russia, blame Italy. They needed Germany to help them all the time.
@SKiiSMLIVE THe British were beating the Italian troops. Then the Germans sent Rommel who was successful until Patten(US) and Montgomery(GBR) beat him. I credit the US for supplying the Soviets and GBR. I also credit them for winning the Pacific war and leading the Allies on the Western front under Eisenhower. The US were absolutely needed to win WWII. I strongly believe that both the USSR and GBR needed the US to help beat the Germans whether its supplying them or fighting. Good day.
@TheMagicBolt The Australians were the first to break through German lines in North Africa. If you knew anything about the North Africa campaign, you'd know that. And sure, the US 'supplied' the USSR. But at the end of the day, it was the civilians and soldiers of the USSR that made the real sacrifices, and just as you can say that the US was probably needed to win the war, we all know that the USSR was absolutely VITAL if the Allies were to be successful.
@SKiiSMLIVE I never argued about who broke the first german lines in North Africa. All i said was that the British were beating the Italians and not the Germans. Then the US invaded along with more British and others in North Africa. Yes, I agree the USSR was Vital in the war. I just simply don't think they could of won the war on their own.
@TheMagicBolt You CLEARLY said that "Rommel was successful until Patten(US) and Montgomery(GBR) beat him". How can you say that when the Germans were already losing battles? Don't you get it? Britain wasn't some weak fucking country. They had the most powerful navy in the world until recently. Their navy absolutely destroyed that of Italy's and Germany's. And the Russians were never alone, like I said. The British won the BoB, and the European resistance to the Nazis was always there.
@SKiiSMLIVE Yes, Rommel was successful, He was sent their to make sure there wasn't a total AXIS defeat. He accomplished that by pushing back Australian and British forces numerous times. THey did lose battles but he kept the AXIS in North Africa. I know Britain wasn't a weak country, but Germany had them on their knees, which is why they needed the US to supply them. The Russians won the Battle of Berlin if that is what you mean by BoB. The US did not want to invade.
@TheMagicBolt Yes, Rommel was a successful general, and regarded as probably one of the best. They were, however, losing battles and the US was simply a finishing blow. The Germans were tired of fighting so many countries Australia, Britain, New Zealand etc. Italy only got in the way, and when you look at the amount of Italian prisoners of war, its astonishing. Yes, Germany was winning, but Britain defeated them when the time came. You cannot credit a victory such as the Battle of Britain to US.
@SKiiSMLIVE I did not. I credit the 2 leading generals. It is a fact though that Patten, the US general captured more prisoners and liberated more territory in less time than any other army in military history.
@TheMagicBolt Show me any credible evidence that states OUTRIGHT that "Patten, the US general captured more prisoners and liberated more territory in less time than any other army in military history". By the way, you can't even spell the guys name right, its Patton.
@TheMagicBolt THe US entered the war in 1941. Hitler knew he US would invade and was trying to prepare for that. He couldnt put all of his troops on the eastern front. Even then, the majority of the Germans and their strongholds were beyond the 2nd half of Poland. By then, the Western front had began. It took the Russians 2 years to get to Berlin from Poland and it took the Western Front one year to reach Berlin from the Atlantic coast. ANd the US didn't even use all of its troops.
@ghost491 obviously ur a dumb shit.. Austria and Australia are two completely different countries, no where else in the world shortens Australia to ''Austria''.. only in stuffed areas such as yours, you're just making excuses for making the mistake
Firstly, Rocca was never a soccer player, we play Australian Rules Football here you pansy pad wearing faggot. Secondly, it's spelt Australia, not Austria, but you American, hence being a dumbass. And thirdly, we don't say mate.
@plummer89 - First, firstly is not a word. Adding "ly" to the word is redundant and hence, wrong. Google for academic commentary on that. I see no reason to assist someone so mean when I have done nothing to them. Addressing your second point, in Europe they call football "soccer". Austria is the shortened version of Australia, just like America is short for United States of America. Saverio Reginald Rocca was a goalkeeper for the Magpies in Austria. Hope I helped! God bless mate!!
@plummer89 I'm sorry you feel that way. I'll assume you checked NFL.com and verified my claims. God bless. NB - I have nothing against Austria despite what you guys did back in the day..
Austria is not short for Australia, Austria is a totally seperate country located in Europe. Sav Rocca never played soccer, he played Australian Rules Football for Collingwood where there are NO GOALKEEPERS, it's not soccer. Just making that clear incase your actually being serious, you are American after all.....
@plummer89 I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I am quite certain I am correct as I lived in Austria for three years and watched him play in person. He was a goalkicker, which means that when the ball goes out of play, he kicks it back in; in football (soccer), this is called a goalkick. Yet, he is also the goalkeeper. I didn't mean to confuse you. I believe it is a cultural misunderstanding which is not aided by your language difficulties. If I spoke Deutsch I would try to clarify :)
Yeah I live in AUSTRALIA which is not Austria. And i watched Saverio Rocca play in the Australian Football league for both the Collingwood Magies and the North Melbourne Kangaroos. I am 100% sure you don't know what the fuck you're talking about
@adamjanu29 - Sigh.. Read the comments, I've explained this. Austria is short for Australia; at least everywhere else in the world. Just like you call it football and we call it soccer. You're arguing about a culture-based language issue. He was an awesome goalkeeper in Austria (Australia), and I'm sure he'll do well kicking a different shaped ball now in the NFL. Peace be with you
@ghost491 you're trying to be an antagonistic little bugger aren't you and if I know that you were making all that up at least make sure you spell Saverio's name correctly.
@ghost491 you're Australian agreed and at the moment all you're trying to do is be antagonistic. Saverio's full name is Saverio Giovanni Rocca when your making stuff up as you have been at least write down his real name
@irishgodfatherchris - you are so confusing, forgive me, but explain this sentence of yours: "when your making stuff up as you have been at least write down his real name". It contains at least three grammatical errors, one spelling mistake and makes zero sense. You've contradicted yourself, no? Peace and Jesus be with you :)
@ghost491 you are fukin retard since i dont know what country lived in but Sav rocca played for Collingwood football club in AUSTRALIA NOT AUSTRIA you retard i meen they are two different continents and i guees you wouldnt know since most americans dont have maps
@piesrule96 I have a two maps in front of me right now. Collingwood is a small town near Salzburg, which is in Austrfia/Australia. I'm not going to respond to your other comments until you apologise for stealing thousands of aboriginal children and murdering more than a million aboriginals. I mean, if you're using previous national history in your argument, surely I can do the same. I'll be waiting with Mabo for your apology. Also, learn punctuation redneck. Sincerely, ghost491
@ghost491 I am aboriginal dickhead and if you did have two maps infront of you you would clearly see thatr australia is not fuckin austria you retard and dont tell me about mabo you fuk head you dont even know what mabo is about you stupid american soo if you wanna tell me about my country and my ancesters country my ancesters who have lived here for a solid 150 000 at max years.
@piesrule96 You're dreaming if you think you're aboriginal.. BOOM. That's a winning quote right there. Point is, despite your lineage, I know more about aboriginal history than you will ever know. I know Mabo, Yorta Yorta, I know 'em all brother. As the proven expert therefore, let's agree Austria = Australia and end this. Truce? We can become friends I'm sure.
@ghost491 Mate im pretty sure i would know if im aboriginal or not dont tell me that i dont know anything about my own culture dickhead and i dont know what kind of map your looking at if it is some sort of kiddy map or something but austria is on the other side of the world to Australia you stupid twat and i swear to god dont tell me i dont know anything about aboriginals since i am one. and also im pretty sure you dont learn evry thing about australia from just watching the movie australia FU
@ghost491 hahaha i thouhght you would have known that twat but really i dont care for punctuation whilst on the computer since really no one is grading me but really if someone was grading us i would automatically get a higher grade than you since most americans are severly dumb even retarded but us australians have at least some common sence and a little bit of smarts huh come back and talk to me when americans can come to australia and become a doctor without having to go to OUR universities .
@piesrule96 I've said this before, but bro, I'm from Melbourne. Grow thicker skin. You're embarrassing our country and your people by posting the crap I've just read. I wish someone stole your generation.
@gclement82 - I would think so. Comes from his genetics. Austrians have a history of going down at the slightest contact, World War Two would be a nice example of this. America kicked your ass then; America kicked your ass here. There's a reason they call it "down under"!
@ghost491 Austrians? You fuckin dumbshit! What's funniest is that you still know that we are from "down under" forgetting that Austria is in the Northern Hemisphere. Classic US ignorance of the entire world.
Is being ashamed of being "massacred" in gallipoli by a strong, well supplied Turkish force on ONE beachhead supplied by row boats anything like being butt raped in Vietnam, despite being by far the largest, most mobile, wealthy army on the planet? Ill take Gallipoli, Cheers.
@mspill01 "down under" is a nickname; it's not literal, lol. If such things were literal, Greenland wouldn't be covered in ice now would it? And Iceland would surely have melted after that volcano last year.. I think your German-English dictionary is missing the chapter on nicknames.
You realise Austria/Australia (same/same) also lost spectacularly in Vietnam? All you have done is concede your nations army is weaker than that of USA. Err... you're arguing wrong. Enjoy your sick ANZAC party
@ghost491 Austra and Australia are not the same. Austria is one particualr country in europe ( a european continent. And Australia is a country in the asian side of the world which is my home country so i know. you have stated to different countries there, they are completely different. Australia is ful of us (AUSSIES) etc and down under is the name for our country. Austria you have gone wrong which is a country lot like sweden etc in some ways. so shut up.
@lolbena you opened a bracket after "country in europe [sic]..." which you never closed. I'm not sure if you're done with your incorrect rant yet. If you live in Australia, how would you know what the rest of the world calls you? You wouldn't. Therefore you are not qualified to respond on this issue.
@ghost491 nope my rant was completey right. and sorry about the mistake i made i didnt proofread after my work soorrry motherr. and everyone including me who lives in australia know how pathetic the rest of the world is with their own gay impersanations of us. so we know the nicknames we are given thankyou. And therefore you are wrong.
@lolbena the way you structure your arguments is ingenious. You rebut an earlier claim with an excuse. State an irrelevant fact which doesn't respond to my post. Then you make a illogical, non-sequitur conclusion. Looks like fun; let me try. Your rant was completely wrong despite not proof reading it or considering it. Everyone knows the flag of Norway has blue in it. Therefore, you're completely proven to be wrong. Winner! Enjoy your weiners and koalas mate! Sincerely, pathetic world
Rugby league NRL is a better comparison between Aussie and American football codes in terms of hits. Most of the AFL guys are all built lean for speed.
yea. a trick play gone wrong in a pre season game. who cares? one good thing, sav chased all the way down the field. not bad for a punter in his late thirties.
More people around the world watch a sport called: "Cricket" then watch American Football (NFL) or watch Australian football (AFL)... The Number one sport in the world as far as number of people watching is Football (Soccer) Second most watched sport in the world is Cricket (A bat and ball sport, somewhat like baseball) Number's don't lie! how care's about NFL football, Or AFL football around the world not many people at all! Like me, How Care's!
As a CMFC supporter let me just say ANTHONY SUCKS! All we need to do is get rid of frazer and i'll be a happy man. This is comin from someone who hated presti for years but 1 good season still doesnt make up for 15 shit ones
Saverio is and always been better than Anthony. Sav probably has a bigger Torpedo, but Anthonys drop punt is bigger than Savs. They even admitted this on the The Footy Show last year.
Sav is a big boy, and so is his brother who currently still plays for collingwood in afl, though he is getting on in age for afl so he may well be getting a ticket over to the states to start his overpaid career of kicking a tiny ball in comparison to sherrin a distance which he comfortably can kick 3 times in a game.
from australia was a great full forward in the afl.. dont understand alot about the nfl just the basics.. how much gametime would rocca play a game roughly? and as a punter would he be in the best 3 punters in the nfl? anyone who follows the nfl and would let me no a bit about him would be appreciated
I would say the best punter in the NFL these days is the san diego chargers punter, who was never in the AFL but was taught by the first AFL to NFL transferer Darren Bennet
trick plays like this can be costly. Not roccas fault at all just good defense.

I've watched all codes of football, i prefer American football. I like the big plays and violent hits that come with the nature of the game. It is also a bit more organized than other codes of football. I do have a question though... Was Sav Rocca considered to be a good player or just amateur in the AFL?

The European war was a Russian one.

@SKiiSMLIVE Here's where you fail. THe European war was a 2-front war. With out the western front, Russia is the Axis' only front to attack. WIth 2 front, they split that pressure and allow for defeat. You do know that the US military was jammng through Europe along with other allies on the Western front and had to wait for the USSR to reach Berlin.
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt Here is where YOU fail. The Russians were already fighting a war against Germany on one front for THREE FUCKING YEARS! Why else do you think that it only took one year for the US to bring the war to an end? Because Germany was already on the retreat. Even when the US came into it, its well known that Germany's best troops were on the Eastern Front, where the MASSIVE majority of the fighting went on.
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE Nope, still you that's failing. The US fought on both western and Southern Front or Northern Africa if you want to call it that. Russia had no real push into Europe until the US joined the war and relieved some pressure off of Russia. Not to mention the US didn't even have all of their troops in Europe because they were basically single handedly defeating Japan in the Pacific.
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt Haha. Russia was on the offense before D-Day. Obviously a second front helped, but they were already winning. Most of Japan's troops were in Manchuria and occupying the rest of their empire. Remember, all the US did was island hop, there was still a shit ton of territory belonging to the Japanese. And in North Africa, the Aussies were the first to defeat the Germans, not the Americans.
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE Well more like defense. The German pushed the Russians back then made a poor decision to attack during winter. That was the turning point. The war could of gone on much longer with many more deaths and possibly a different outcome without the US. In North Africa... The British were fighting first there against the Italians, then Patten came in and he and montgomery defeated Rommel. Learn your Japan WWII history mate, the US island hopped, the Japanese surrendered to the US.
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt Exactly, a German error was the turning point of the war. NOT an American intervention. Yes, the Germans were defeated in North Africa after the Americans came, but the British had their first victories before the US joined the war. Stop telling me to "learn your history", because its not fucking hard to know that the Japanese surrendered. That is like saying, "learn your history, the Germans lost WWII". See how dumb that sounds?
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE It was the turning point for the Russians. I honestly believe along with many scholars that if Hitler decides to wait until spring to attack Moscow, they would of taking the USSR. However, almost all scholars will tell you that the USSR would of lost the war eventually with no US intervention. THe Russian counter attack occurred mostly during winter against unprepared Nazi infantry. The US beat the Japanese basically by themselves that is a known and accepted fact.
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt The Russians were already WINNING before the US landed on D-Day. Look at a map of Europe and Russia. Look at how big Russia is. The Germans didn't even reach Moscow, and look how much of Russia is left. Do you really think the Germans could occupy ALL that space? They could barely control the French Resistance. And sure, the Japanese surrendered to the US. But the HUGE majority of Japanese troops probably hadn't even fought an American before the end of the war.

@TheMagicBolt Americans landed at D-Day June 6th, 1944. By the 30th of April, the Russians were in German-occupied Poland. There was ZERO chance for the Germans to recapture territory up to Stalingrad, with or without a second front. Even Wikipedia shows this. Look at a map of Europe and you'll see how far Stalingrad is from Western Poland. How was Britain a non-factor when they defeated the Luftwaffe, the most powerful air force in the world at the time, with British planes?
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE Look at the map again. THe Germans were pushed back yes, because of unprepared soldiers. I've said this many times. However, both Britain and the USSR were being supplied by the Americans. Without those supplies, Hitler very well wouldn't of been pushed back, or at the very least, he would of recaptured lost territory. Britain was on their knees, the US kept them in it by supplying them, thats is a known fact. They were a factor because the US allowed them to be a factor.

@TheMagicBolt Even if you were right, the Germans didn't take any of those cities. And it wasn't due to a America joining the war, it was the Russians that held those cities, and fought the Germans all the way back to Berlin. Whether you like it or not, WW2 was a Russian-German war. The Pacific Theater was an entirely different conflict, and it wouldn't have been referred to as WW2 if the war in Europe had never occurred.

@SKiiSMLIVE The Germans did Siege many cities including Leningrad. The Germans made their mistakes soon after, when Hitler decided to continue to attack in the Russian winter with unprepared soldiers. It had a toppling effect and Russia launched a counter offensive. During the counteroffensive and before it the US was supplying the USSR and Britain. You won't give the US credit on fighting the pacific war basically alone and commanding the Allies in the European war under Eisenhower?
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt I never said I wouldn't give credit to Western Allied soldiers who gave their lives to save the world from the Nazi regime, and the Japanese empire. It is true, however, that the HUGE majority of lives lost in the Second World War occurred on the Eastern Front, where unforgivable atrocities happened to both sides. The Western Allies in Europe didn't have to experience this (luckily). The Japanese however, inflicted similar atrocities on Australians, Chinese, Americans and others.
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE Yes, but lookly from a military strategy standpoint. The Allies were absolutely needed to win the war. With no Western Front, the Nazis would eventually gain momentum in the war. They wouldn't have to worry about things like Allied blockades and North Africa. They could focus all of their attention on the USSR, who would be beaten easily without the US supplying them.
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt OMFG. "With no Western Front, the Nazis would eventually gain momentum". THE GERMANS WERE LOSING THE WAR BEFORE THE WESTERN FRONT WAS EVEN ESTABLISHED!!!!

@SKiiSMLIVE Wow... look up what eventually means. The USSR had momentum against unprepared soldiers in winter!!!!! The Germans were more advanced and better trained. THey would of won the war EVENTUALLY with no western front.

Japan said they wouldn't attack the US. It was a surprise.

So I guess you're only missing one crucial fact in your infallible argument? LOL. The Japanese SAID they weren't going to attack, that makes it safe for America?

@SKiiSMLIVE Really? the German Tigers and Panthers outclassed the T-34. Yeah, tell me.. Why is it that the Germans were able to push the Russians all the way back to Moscow before the winter? Tell me.. Why couldn't the Germans do it again? As for Japan. Japan used peace talks with the US. They intended to tell the US they were going to attack but the attack came before the massage came. This meant it was a surprise attack to the US.

@TheMagicBolt That is absolute BS. It is a well known FACT that Tigers and Panthers would break down under their own weight. The Germans were able to advance against an unprepared Russian army which had just undergone a massive reformation. The Germans couldn't do it again because not only were the Russians organized, there were many more of them. If you knew anything at all about Pearl Harbor, you'd know that not only did Australia inform the US of an attack, but US servicemen also. Ignored.

TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt By the best tanks you mean the best firepower right? Other than that, they were absolute shit. Slow and hard to maintain on the battlefield. In almost every aspect, the T-34 was the better tank. T-34s were crewed by people who had minimal training, and still were able to beat the highly trained German tank crews, even in their 'better' tanks. When did I ever state that Germany was prepared for a winter war? All I said was that they couldn't recapture lost territory.
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE All i am saying is that almost anyone will say that Germans had the best tanks until the US put the Pershings into action. The T-34s beat out the panzer II and III. Then Germans upgraded their tanks however to beat out the T-34s. with the Panzer VI, tigers and panthers. You misunderstood me. I meant that you said the Russians lost because they weren't prepared. That is the same reason i gave for the Germans losing territory.
TheMagicBolt 4 months ago
@TheMagicBolt Yet Russian tanks were still able to out muscle German ones. Funny how that works, huh? Okay, the Germans lost territory because they weren't prepared. The Russians were able to regain lost territory after the initial attack, why wasn't Germany able to do the same when they lost ground? Maybe because Germany was NEVER prepared for a war on such a massive scale. With or without the US supplies, Russia would have still won the war

And the Russians were never alone, like I said. The British won the BoB, and the European resistance to the Nazis was always there.
SKiiSMLIVE 4 months ago
@SKiiSMLIVE Yes, Rommel was successful, He was sent their to make sure there wasn't a total AXIS defeat. He accomplished that by pushing back Australian and British forces numerous times. THey did lose battles but he kept the AXIS in North Africa. I know Britain wasn't a weak country, but Germany had them on their knees, which is why they needed the US to supply them. The Russians won the Battle of Berlin if that is what you mean by BoB. The US did not want to invade.
TheMagicBolt 3 months ago
@TheMagicBolt Yes, Rommel was a successful general, and regarded as probably one of the best. They were, however, losing battles and the US was simply a finishing blow. The Germans were tired of fighting so many countries Australia, Britain, New Zealand etc. Italy only got in the way, and when you look at the amount of Italian prisoners of war, its astonishing. Yes, Germany was winning, but Britain defeated them when the time came. You cannot credit a victory such as the Battle of Britain to US.

@plummer89 I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I am quite certain I am correct as I lived in Austria for three years and watched him play in person. He was a goalkicker, which means that when the ball goes out of play, he kicks it back in; in football (soccer), this is called a goalkick. Yet, he is also the goalkeeper.

It contains at least three grammatical errors, one spelling mistake and makes zero sense. You've contradicted yourself, no? Peace and Jesus be with you :)

@ghost491 you are fukin retard since i dont know what country lived in but Sav rocca played for Collingwood football club in AUSTRALIA NOT AUSTRIA you retard i meen they are two different continents and i guees you wouldnt know since most americans dont have maps

@piesrule96 I have a two maps in front of me right now. Collingwood is a small town near Salzburg, which is in Austrfia/Australia. I'm not going to respond to your other comments until you apologise for stealing thousands of aboriginal children and murdering more than a million aboriginals. I mean, if you're using previous national history in your argument, surely I can do the same. I'll be waiting with Mabo for your apology. Also, learn punctuation redneck. Sincerely, ghost491

@piesrule96 You're dreaming if you think you're aboriginal.. BOOM. That's a winning quote right there. Point is, despite your lineage, I know more about aboriginal history than you will ever know. I know Mabo, Yorta Yorta, I know 'em all brother. As the proven expert therefore, let's agree Austria = Australia and end this. Truce? We can become friends I'm sure.

@ghost491 Mate im pretty sure i would know if im aboriginal or not dont tell me that i dont know anything about my own culture dickhead and i dont know what kind of map your looking at if it is some sort of kiddy map or something but austria is on the other side of the world to Australia you stupid twat and i swear to god dont tell me i dont know anything about aboriginals since i am one. and also im pretty sure you dont learn evry thing about australia from just watching the movie australia FU

@ghost491 hahaha i thouhght you would have known that twat but really i dont care for punctuation whilst on the computer since really no one is grading me but really if someone was grading us i would automatically get a higher grade than you since most americans are severly dumb even retarded but us australians have at least some common sence and a little bit of smarts huh come back and talk to me when americans can come to australia and become a doctor without having to go to OUR universities .

@gclement82 - I would think so. Comes from his genetics. Austrians have a history of going down at the slightest contact, World War Two would be a nice example of this. America kicked your ass then; America kicked your ass here. There's a reason they call it "down under"!
ghost491 10 months ago
@ghost491 Austrians? You fuckin dumbshit! What's funniest is that you still know that we are from "down under" forgetting that Austria is in the Northern Hemisphere. Classic US ignorance of the entire world.
Is being ashamed of being "massacred" in gallipoli by a strong, well supplied Turkish force on ONE beachhead supplied by row boats anything like being butt raped in Vietnam, despite being by far the largest, most mobile, wealthy army on the planet? Ill take Gallipoli, Cheers.

@mspill01 "down under" is a nickname; it's not literal, lol. If such things were literal, Greenland wouldn't be covered in ice now would it? And Iceland would surely have melted after that volcano last year.. I think your German-English dictionary is missing the chapter on nicknames.
You realise Austria/Australia (same/same) also lost spectacularly in Vietnam? All you have done is concede your nations army is weaker than that of USA. Err... you're arguing wrong. Enjoy your sick ANZAC party

@ghost491 Austra and Australia are not the same. Austria is one particualr country in europe ( a european continent. And Australia is a country in the asian side of the world which is my home country so i know. you have stated to different countries there, they are completely different. Australia is ful of us (AUSSIES) etc and down under is the name for our country. Austria you have gone wrong which is a country lot like sweden etc in some ways. so shut up.
lolbena 9 months ago
@lolbena you opened a bracket after "country in europe [sic]..." which you never closed. I'm not sure if you're done with your incorrect rant yet. If you live in Australia, how would you know what the rest of the world calls you? You wouldn't. Therefore you are not qualified to respond on this issue.
ghost491 9 months ago
@ghost491 nope my rant was completey right. and sorry about the mistake i made i didnt proofread after my work soorrry motherr. and everyone including me who lives in australia know how pathetic the rest of the world is with their own gay impersanations of us. so we know the nicknames we are given thankyou. And therefore you are wrong.
lolbena 9 months ago
@lolbena the way you structure your arguments is ingenious. You rebut an earlier claim with an excuse. State an irrelevant fact which doesn't respond to my post. Then you make a illogical, non-sequitur conclusion. Looks like fun; let me try. Your rant was completely wrong despite not proof reading it or considering it. Everyone knows the flag of Norway has blue in it. Therefore, you're completely proven to be wrong. Winner! Enjoy your weiners and koalas mate! Sincerely, pathetic world

Rugby league NRL is a better comparison between Aussie and American football codes in terms of hits. Most of the AFL guys are all built lean for speed.

More people around the world watch a sport called: "Cricket" then watch American Football (NFL) or watch Australian football (AFL)... The Number one sport in the world as far as number of people watching is Football (Soccer) Second most watched sport in the world is Cricket (A bat and ball sport, somewhat like baseball) Number's don't lie! how care's about NFL football, Or AFL football around the world not many people at all! Like me, How Care's!

Saverio is and always been better than Anthony. Sav probably has a bigger Torpedo, but Anthonys drop punt is bigger than Savs. They even admitted this on the The Footy Show last year.

Sav is a big boy, and so is his brother who currently still plays for collingwood in afl, though he is getting on in age for afl so he may well be getting a ticket over to the states to start his overpaid career of kicking a tiny ball in comparison to sherrin a distance which he comfortably can kick 3 times in a game.
BTW a sherrin is a afl ball.

from australia was a great full forward in the afl.. dont understand alot about the nfl just the basics.. how much gametime would rocca play a game roughly? and as a punter would he be in the best 3 punters in the nfl? anyone who follows the nfl and would let me no a bit about him would be appreciated

I would say the best punter in the NFL these days is the san diego chargers punter, who was never in the AFL but was taught by the first AFL to NFL transferer Darren Bennet

He is a DAMN GOOD punter in the NFL. Regularly boots for 50+ yards and has great accuracy. Glad he made it over here to the NFL, he's got skills.
I've heard he also is a good place kicker. I wonder if they'll try him at that in preseason?
