I myself am big ruby fan. I enjoy the mix of skill and power needed to grind the other team down to get the win, and I appreciate the physical demand that puts in the players. It makes it so fun to support as there are big hits and special moments all over the game.

What do you feel between either football or rugby is the more fun sport to watch and why do you prefer it over the other?

In my country, rugby is not as popular as football, but football is played in every yard, and I am more interested in watching football than any other sport.

Here, in Brazil, rugby is a complete unusual sport to practice. 🤣

But if with "football" you are talking about "soccer" (how it's called in US), obviously it's the most known, loved and practiced sport of my country! 😅

So I prefer soccer/football, for explicit reasons...

Its football all the way for me!!

I do like Rugby too, when the 6 nations is on or a world Cup. I find the scrums in rugby are such an annoying part of it, rugby league scrums are much better, pretty much pretend scrums, just to get the game going again!! :ROFLMAO:

In general, for me, poker is a sport. And poker is my favourite sport. As for rugby or soccer, I would probably prefer soccer.

Football is absolutely the best sport in the world, besides being the most practiced and the one with the most loyal fans, both national and club, and it has tournaments that encompass all countries and compete against each other, such as the World Cup qualifiers and the FIFA World Cup itself, which is organized and held every four years.

Between those 2 options, it's Football/Soccer.

I only follow the big events like World Cup and UEFA Euro Cup.

However, Rugby looks interesting! I should check it out. Handball is my favorite sport, so anything similar sparks my interest.

Would you like to recommend some Rugby Leagues? Any favorites of yours?

Cool, thanks for the opinion.
Handball looks fun also, but i have never played it myself, just saw some clips here and there.

I would recommend the Top 14 and URC for club level rugby comps that have great teams playing and the rugby is at a very good level.

Then for international games, the best of the best in my opinion would be the Rugby Championship payed between South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina.

If you prefer European teams, then the Six nations comp is also very good rugby at international level.

Ice hockey does look like a fun game. We don't play it in my country, but I can see why people like it.

Are there any other options? :ROFLMAO: I enjoy watching basketball (NBA) and baseball (MLB) much more. Rarely I can bet on American football (NFL), but I am not very good at analyzing the peculiarities of this game, so mostly my bets lose. :(

I agree that the All Blacks is a great team. They play a very fun style of rugby to watch and they are always one of the best teams in the world.

From what I have seen of basketball it looks like a lot of fun, but when it come to baseball then I personally much prefer to watch cricket.
