You mean like England's disallowed goal against Germany?

Well... I am glad you brought this up because I always wanted to know why they don't call Hockey, Puckey!?!? 

Why would they call it puckey?  Hockey is played on a field with sticks and a ball, if anything it should be called stickball.

Yeah, something like that.  Sometimes one of players has the ball and everyone jumps on top of him like it's a scrum.  Other times, the same player will catch the ball everyone just stays away from him and lets him advance.

You put your left leg in, your left leg out...
In, out, in, out, and shake it all about
 
In some versions of this, the word 'leg' is often replaced with the word 'end', and the word 'left' replaced by the word 'bell'.
 
Or so I'm reliably informed...
 
That's what it's all about.
 
 
 

It's the shaking it all about I have a problem with.

You've either never been in the men's loo in a pub or a men's locker room.
 
Shakin' it all about is the norm there.
 
Boys.... pffffft.

 This conversation is way above my head. I think I'll simply read and become enlightened. It is interesting, the parts I understand.
 
 I was never given the athletic gene if there is one. When someone wants to make a ball go across a line at the other end while fighting  people wearing different clothes I ask Why? Heck come take my ball if you want it. If that wasn't bad enough they feel the need to make rules to do it. It must be fun though ;)

I've not a sports gene in my entire body.
 
I was ALWAYS the last kid to be picked in a neighborhood game of baseball etc. By the time I was 11 I would just say "gotta go home".

FWIW, I was always a Captain of the team or the first picked, but I STILL don't understand most of the muckings around in this thread.
 
I played pretty much every sport I could (except basketball - I had "white man's" disease), but rugby or Austrailian Rules football (which I would have been perfectly suited for playing) simply weren't around and I've yet to even see cricket being played on TV or in person.
