So yeah, a yearly thing in Australia is called "State Of Origin", in which the blues (New South Whales) compete against the Maroons (Queensland) in 3 massive Basketball games.

Yeah - not like there's NBA Finals or something...

@Bartek: Keeping in mind that this is a rivalry. State of Origin is strictly Blues VS Maroons (NSW VS QLD) and has been for the 35 years it's been going on for.

Half time scores: 10-6 to the Blues.

Alright, 2 announcements:
1. Guess what, the Maroons (queensland) won 11-10.
2. Also, I was joking about the basketball part, it's actually Rugby League. Other than what sport it was, all the information I said above is correct. Blues VS Maroons, NSW VS QLD, 3 games a year, and it has been going on for 35 years (well, 35th this year). If you wanted more info on what it actually is, here is the wikipedia page for it.

Is it comparable to March Madness or is it more like NBA Finals?

This is awful. The sport is probably comprised of more idiots than any other. And that's really saying something. Last month fans put a referee into hospital. The players have been known to poo in hotel lobbies. What is wrong with these morons?

I go for the maroons since I go to a shit tier school that is only interested in sport. (I live in Queensland but lately that doesn't seem to matter)

@deadshadow: No, I just like the idea of shooting and skiing at the same time. I have never done either of them in my life (Australian gun laws lack of snow) so I think it would be a cool experience. Of course not shooting living things, just targets.

@mrbutthole: I'm so sorry... luckily our school doesn't care about sport more than culture.

@forecep42: Calm down dude, it was a joke, if it isn't funny then just leave it alone. Besides, I did say "I was joking about the basketball part, it's actually Rugby League. Other than what sport it was, all the information I said above is correct. Blues VS Maroons, NSW VS QLD, 3 games a year, and it has been going on for 35 years (well, 35th this year)" meaning I ended the joke. It was done. This thread is seriously going to be a state of origin thread for the next 2 games this year. It was 1 small joke dude, grow up and learn to take a joke.

Also, the scrublord part is a compliment, thx m8 ❤️.

Hey Big Zam!

Juventus vs Barcelona on June 6th! So psyched.

I should probably start watching the Italian Serie A League.

@Savis117: "Can't play" sport, plz. I am Adam Goodes reincarnate.

Mainly my intention was to disgrace rugby. It's a terrible excuse for a sport, and I was trying to drive people towards AFL, which is clearly a superior sport with a superior culture (i.e. not hurting officials and shitting in public)

@absolutezilch:
Serie A is pretty boring, to be fair. Things might turn out differently now with Ancelotti (and supposedly Ibrahimovic) moving to Milan, but who knows.

That said, I'm hoping Juve wins the UCL. It would be a disgrace if Based Buffon retired without winning a single UCL trophy.

dat A-league tho

@oilfire30: Also, again, just joshing about the kind of sport.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone really go insane over these kind of things outside of australia? People go entirely ape-shit over S.O.O in queensland and NSW.

Parks

@oilfire30: There's probably an audience, but it's probably relatively small.

My_nama_Jeff

Oil

OH SHIT!!! It's currently a tie between the QLD Maroons and the NSW Blues, both have 1 game won, meaning next game wins this years S.O.O. Just as a side note, the scores were 26-18 in the Blues favour.

@oilfire30: I assume you're not asking if people outside Australia care about State of Origin, because only two states in Australia care, so it obviously doesn't have an international audience.

If you're asking whether there are comparable things, smaller competitions that exist outside of regular leagues, then yes, of course there is. I'm thinking of stuff like the FA cup, or even just a particularly historic derby match.

tl;dr not even Australians care about state of origin, so obviously other countries don't. Rugby is terrible, league is the most terrible version of it.
