Hmmm is the league full? I keep getting an error message after I do the IMPORTANT WARNING bit. "The league you are trying to join does not exist."
Otherwise I'll join, as football is a real good sport. Everyone tune in aug. ninth for the vikings first friendly!

Oh btw -- the url ed gives didn't work for me, delete the comma on the very end of it and you go to the correct page.

ill join, i love football, i think it depends on if you grew up with American Football or Futbol (soccer), i dont know why everyone argues over which is better, the fans (us) all do the same when their team scores and both sports are also more complicated than most opposing people think strategy wise at least ,

ok, i fixed the link - thanks for pointing that out!! if you're still having any troubles, pm me with an email addy and i'll send you a personal invite to the league that should make sure everything is working correctly.

the league is not full - there are 4 teams currently. welcome to Deuces Wild!!

i have played soccer and football. i actually quit playing football to play soccer in my youth. i enjoy both sports. in fact i enjoy most sports. i'll play any other free fantasy sport you want to organize a macosx league for except nascar racing. if anybody can find a free soccer (futball) fantasy league, i will gladly play, even though i really don't know anything about the professional players these days. this isn't about which sport is best or any of that chest beating BS, it's just about getting together members of the community for a little friendly competition and amusement. mostly amusement.

Only drawback to a fantasy soccer league is it's too one-sided. Say you just use EPL players. Get Ruud van Nistlerooy, Michael Owen and a good netminder like Brad Feidel or Tim Howard and you'll cruise.
Same with La Liga. Get any of the Real Madrid hosses and you're in.
I can say I have an appreciation for pro soccer the way it's played on the Continent, but it doesn't apply itself well to the fantasy format.
Now NFL football is tailor-made for fantasy sports. It's weekly, doesn't last 80 months, transactions are easy to follow and there's a general parity in competition in the league, so every fantasy team has a fair chance of success.
I'd be willing to chip in a few dollars to get a trophy of some type , maybe a small iPod stand with some engraving, which would likely cost less than $10 per owner (and that would include S&H) for the grand champion.

FYI, in one fantasy league I was in a few years , we came up with one of those small canned hams that have something like an 20-year expiration date. We taped a hand-marked sign on it that read "NFFL League Champeen" on it. Cheap, but that ham was as valued in the office as the Stanley Cup.

ok, we're stuck at 4 teams. we need more. if anyone is still having problems getting thru and joining, let me know.

The SPL lasts for about 9, how long are the american leagues?

I might well investigate a fantasy league. Yahoo do one I think.
