ITS FOOTBALL, NOT SOCCER!!! (Page 11) sebtheanimal: I'll make this point a third time if I want. Neither sport is interesting enough to warrant a debate over grown men chasing a ball. Comrade_: You're the one debating. I'm the one laughing at your blatant stupidity. ps. If you don't like either sport then what is your purpose, you came here to whinge? Comrade_: You came all the way here to see me? and posted nonsensical remarks and made yourself to look like a dumbass just to make me laugh?...must say thank you, you've succeeded in your hard work. haahaha take a bow now. DiIIy: I still call soccer soccer as it seems odd to start calling it football here now after all these years and football to me is the footy con_fused: Its the game...and the name of the game is football...cause you kick the ball with one part of your legs...most of the time. YetiFinder: We play with foot so we call it football but surprisingly in america they play with hands they call it football. Why? DEEP_acheleg: the thesis is correct, americans dont own the word football, just dont say that in pittsburgh and not expect funny looks (Edited by DEEP_acheleg) SWlNE: Countries that call it soccer are not good internationally as countries that call it by its god-given, Odin-appointed name Football. robert_randall1910: The real football is the one where the coach can't shout "time out" when things are not going his way Morpheuskom: I agree with abarrattyeah..it should be Football or Fussball in German and American Hand Egg Ball. yyzgal: Soccer was Slang for the game of Football created by none other than the English. American Football has it's name because the ball itself is a foot in length... BorderlineSerious: Flopball is more like it. They flop all over the field as if they just got shot when they are barely touched. Kiss my American ass, not arse. 😝 cloneer: Soccer is an abbreviation of association football which is the most popular type of football perception1960: Yeah okay, u say American football means nothing but to us over here we cannot understand the fascination that other countries have with the very slow game of soccer. Australian rules football is pretty cool though. perception1960: Nothing is more boring than European soccer except maybe golf. Everyone has their own opinions. It's so boring that more than half of America watches it every Sunday we were raised on the NFL. Soccer is not big in the USA. Never has been. It's behind hockey here. | Sports Chat Room Similar Conversations |
