    The only time I watch Soccer is to check out the Guys :roflmao:

    I must admit though, if a good boxer comes along, like Amir Khan, then I will watch it :badgrin:

    I enjoy watching mens tennis unless it's those Williams sisters--they have a mean serve and grunt. I wanted to get into tennis too as my dad used to be very good at it, but after my accident I had to give that dream up.

    I don't particularly enjoy watching football, rugby, snooker or darts. Sports like motor racing, tennis, basketball, hockey and gymnastics I don't really mind. But it's the extreme ones like quad bike racing, skateboarding and freestyle cycling that I like to watch the most.

    As for playing, it's hockey, basketball and athletics (sprinting distances).

    I'm on my high school swim team. It's quite competitive, so I have to take it seriously and practice 4-5 times a week. I am most likely going to swim at a small college, so I'm looking forward to that. Also, I love playing tennis and basketball! My favorite sport to watch is probably football, because people down in the south are crazy about it.

    I particularly don't watch any sport, but I do keep track of how Chelsea's doing via my friends... The only time I watch sports is during the Olympic Games. I watched EVERY GAME on that!!

    Playing? Basketball, volleyball, badminton. Not expert in any but I would say badminton is the most frequent one and the best of all my sports. Used to join swimming classes when I was 13 but I kinda forgot how to swim now >< so sad now my tummy is flat again and I no longer can train the stamina

    Tennis and basketball are my favorite to play. I don't enjoy watching sports much, but basketball is probably the most enjoyable for me.

    I don't really watch any sports, well perhaps men's swimming (Tom Daley). I do love snooker, but prefer to go out and play it for real.

    Hockey and Curling are the only sports I really watch on TV unless the Olympics are on or something. I might watch Soccer once in a while during the World Cup but I'm not really a big fan of it.

    As for playing sports, Hockey and 5-pin bowling are the only ones I play. Cycling in the summer but it is really more of a recreational thing than a competative thing. I curled for a couple of years when I was younger and I wasn't any good at it and thus I found it a little but frustrating at times. I think if I was to play it again now, I would stick to it and practice more. I really enjoy watching curling on TV though. Some people find it extremely boring but I enjoy the strategy, precision and finesse of the game.
