I don’t get SPEED anymore… although I heard that I am not missing much. :facepalm

Football (soccer) in Europe is HUGE. Same with rugby. My cousin plays Rugby for a team over in Ireland (I forget the name)… it was fun drinking beer in the stands and watching them beat the shit out of each other. haha
