:) Well, I see there are a few signs of life left in the baseball
crowd ... at least not all are so old that they can't lift their
ass ... Serious, Kricket is more entertaining than baseball. THere
you get at least a flair of the world, when an Austrailian and an
Indian team plays ... and these guys still dress better ...

Are you trying to point to the secon not so fancy sport thing
over there ? Real sport is if the same guys go ahead and kick
an odd shaped ball without any sissy armor ... Well, real men
call this Rugby ... and no real comparsion possible to the slow
motion action of some pampered American Football guys.

Try to do better... BTW, I always expected studio apartments to
be a bit larger.
Oh, and before we finish: The sport is called Football, and maybe
not played near where you're liveing.
