Re: [ZION] Does anyone know?
Cousin Bill-- I know very little about Rugby and how it compares with soccer or American Football. My Dad played Rugby when in college, upset a player on the opposing team and got smacked in the nose for irritating the player. I put Rugby in the same arena as soccer for the demands it makes on the players.

RE: [ZION] Does anyone know?
Being the internationalist wink that I am, it should come as no surprise to you that my favorite sport to play and watch is soccer. But, one has to understand the game to enjoy watching it. The same is true of baseball. And, knowledge also enhances the enjoyment of football and basketball as well, even if they are a little easier to appreciate. I think soccer is the ideal first sport for children: 1. It strengthens the cardio-vascular system 2. Children rarely leave a game feeling like they have failed, personally. 3. It teaches the importance of cooperation and teamwork like no other sport I know. As for the chances for injury: low at the recational level; moderate compared to American football; on par, probably, with basketball and baseball. Translation: if a kid plays the sport competitively, sooner or later he will suffer a serious injury. I also appreciate the the refereeing practices. As a rule, fouls and violations are only called if 1) the foul itself gives one team the advantage over its opponent ( if the player with the ball is fouled but maintains control and continues on unimpeded, the foul would not be called); 2) the foul was clearly dangerous. I dislike the offsides rule -- a rule adopted because the U.S. insisted on it back in the 1930s, after it had won the World Cup -- although a slower team, like the U.S. was then, can use it to mount an effective defense.

Re: [ZION] Does anyone know?
Getting back to the original topic, I find it quite telling that not one person has mentioned the World Cup volleyball. I take that to mean that though it is called the World Cup, little if any attention is being paid to it in America. Just to give a quick recap of the two matches I know, America beat Japan (Yeah!) and Japan beat Cuba (Yeah!) You'll have to find someone more interested than I to find out anything else.
