that wass so hilariously funny and im from america that i had to copy and add it o my profile
 

thatss really tur why the hell do they call a stupid sport like american football "football"? they use theyre foot like two percent of the game!!
 

they took a rugby ball, put on helmets and shoulder pads and called the it football, completely disgracing the name! haha we should take our poll in the US i wonder what they will say =)

 

Like I've said before, they should call it Knobball or Helmetball... Let's bring the Cup back home and have America rename American Football to what it really is... a very poor substitute for Rugby and nothing like FOOTBALL...!

If England win, I want George Bushyballs to call a referendum and give England back their full ownership of FOOTBALL!!!

'Nough said! ;))

Sorry to say it LADDZ but if you did your research you would find that the word SOCCER was not given to the world by the Americans but by the same country that the sport was originated in and grew throughout. Go check it out!!!

Thank you so much for filling a knowledge gap. Finally I have an itch that I no longer need to scratch, AND STAND HUMBLY CORRECTED. This (not just blogging, but discussion and sharing in general) is one of the reasons I'm thankful I'm not the only person on the planet - how boring that would be and how little we would learn and expand...!

For anyone else who is looking to find the true reason behind the Football-Soccer debate, this article is facinating and enlightening:

For anyone that took offense to my blog, I'm sorry. It was intended as entertainment and discussion only.

Hey, the important thing (whatever the name) is that it's a bloody excellent game... let's just keep rooting for our favourite team... ENGLAND...!
