I suppose it's good to know that football isn't the only sport where hooligans rear their ugly heads. I saw on the news last night that basketball 'fans' in LA were rampaging through the streets after their team won (at least I they won, maybe not).
Beats me how anyone can get so excited over Basketball though but hey, everyone to their own I say!! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

at least they're the champions of the world, not the donkeys of EURO2000.

Is it the world? I thought it was just the US. I know nothing about the sport so please excuse my ignorance.

It is only america, people over there love to call themselves world champions.

I live in Canada, the reason why they are called world champions is that there is no other league that even comes close in competition of leagues like NBA, NHL, NFL, and many others...

How do you know there are no better competitions else where? A little bigheaded to state that, dont you think?

Who is the real worldchampion in ice hockey? And I would like to see an american team play baseball against a cuban team or basketball against a team from the balkan.

And NFL isnt a sport, that is just a bunch of overdressed sissies kicking and throwing a disformed ball every now and then between the commercials.

Hey! I live in the US! But still, it's strange that the basketball, ice hockey, baseball champs called themselves 'world champions' when they only played within their own nation. Don't you think so?
