i just love this picture. why? is the incredibly hot bunch of blokes otherwise known as the footy boys? is it the proud display of footy short shorts? although those things do win a few of my votes... i'd have to say its the fact that all the guys are squishing their arms to their chest to make what appears to be muscles. if these guys made a 12 month calendar... i'd buy it :P
so why are guys so into footy? is it becuz its manly and they happen to be men? or is there a deeper philosophy to it... aftering doing some research... i can now report my findings.

"theres a reason why guys are the predominant sex in games.. in sport.. computer games... chess.. pretty much any game. why ? because guys love to compete with each other. there's the slight rush of adrenaline when something is happening.. is like the addictive thing. some ppl only play to win - i call those ppl losers XD
i guess its more to show how skilled you are at something, you may not necessarily be the best.
in team games at least.. its also like a 'primary' way in which guys can bond with each other in a non-gay way.
on the field .. you cant pretend to be a different character.. your tru colours shine... like if you get agro really easily.. it will stick out like a sore thumb on the field"
Dr Tingy, S. (2007:257)
"football teaches you many lessons of life... teamwork, mateship, group of people working to achieve one common goal, getting thru tough times, mentally preparing yourself to face the onslaught ahead, the enjoyment of smashing someone else, having to abide by rules and regulations and dealing with being caught out wen you disobey them.
so really, football is a life lesson.
young men of this day and age learn so much from it
not to mention the shear enjoyment that they get from playing.
Fong, M., PhD. (2007:30)
it's fun.
In conclusion, the relationship between man and football is a sacred bond that is beyond full understanding and comprehension ... personally i think its just the male version of shopping - building friendships, adrenaline, lesson in life (asian mother bargaining) and of course the best excuse of all... physical exercise :P

there is adrenaline in shopping? =P
I'd buy the calendar too!!! Male form of shopping? Best. comparison. ever.
Adrenaline in shopping... Erm, have you not seen Viv and I when we see the magic S word...
SALE!!!!!! *alarms going off in head*
hahah nice.
i suppose the shopping analogy works to some degree, except that i think sport is more team building XD
but otherwise mostly true, especially "the relationship between man and football is a sacred bond that is beyond full understanding and comprehension" hahaha :P
u obviously dont know enough bout shopping timmy pooo... girls go in teams for a reason... making a decision to buy sumfin must always go through the committee approval.. girls will always find things for others when suitable
lol this is hilarious! definitely buying the calendar ;) hurry up and make it! haha, it can be another fundraising idea, frank.
um... shoooooooping?
count me out on that one...
shooooooooooopping???
COUNT ME IN!!!
XD
luuuurv shopping...
as for the calendar, i'd like one too XP
One thing with footy is that you can hurt people that you don't like, don't think that happens with shopping, unless you spend all of your husbands money, but then you'd be hurting someone you love.
so deep!
again u guys no nothin bout the depth of shopping. shoppin can be a war just as it is with footy. u see a girl at the other side of the store. between u two is the sale clothes rack. upon that clothes rack is the bargain uve been hunting for. u see that look in her eye and u know u must pounce. things can get messy.
just because we don't fight when we shop, it doesn't mean we don't know how to shop.
i've pick many bargains through my day without having that "must kill you" eye contact.
ROFLMAO!
I'd have to agree with Zef. Us guys when we shop still manage to pick up bargains without having to go through a barbaric contest to get that one "must have" item at the cheapest price (or the most expensive price, e.g. the release of clothes designed by Stella McCartney sometime late last year or early this year at Target for an example)...
And besides, y'all haven't seen me when I hear that great "S" word: "sale". Ally, Karin & Steffy can tell y'all what I'm like when I'm in a shopping centre and it's sale time...
lol this is funnny!
ummm... well i hate to break it to you but i have a lot of experience being with girls while shopping :P hilarious i know. and I said team building because im sure you dont go shopping with 5? 10? 15? 20 people?
and i love it how most guys accept that girls love shopping and dont really need to ask why ;) besides, im sure guys like shopping, we're just not interested in buying the same things you are :P
dont worry about kevin07, we should start our own great debate XD
love the picture!
