Its not "soccer", its fuckin' "football..."

[Moon Knight]

Then why did you type "all american sports suck." If its just about football then why bring that up?

Because it's about America.

 

[Slim Pickns]

Because it's about America.

Oh, that makes sense then.

 

[Gavel]

Eh, he's just still mad about the Boston Tea Party.

 

[justinsayne]

Fucking hell, how many god damn threads do we really need dedicated to this stupid argument, seems like someone makes a new one every couple fucking weeks, serious these soccer fanatics need to find something better to do, I mean why is Rugby called rugby, or why is Cricket called cricket, they just are, deal with it, move on, the name of the sport isn't changing cause a couple of British soccer fans don't like the name

 

[Sparky]

^ I agree Justin. It doesnt matter what you call the game its stilll going to be the same game i call soccer Soccer and American Football simply that, What i call Footy is AFL but i dont argue over the fact there is three different games called the same thing

 

[Danmen001]

Well I know why this guys user is kfabe.

 

[Afro-Ameri-Spawn]

Right, lets clear something up yanks...

Yes. Let's.

Football is called football because its a game where you KICK a BALL with YOUR FOOT...

No. Football is called football because we are America and we can call any god damned thing we want any god damned thing we like to call it. Plain and simple. What you call football is called Soccer. You were socks when you play it right? So there. It's fucking Soccer. Shut up and deal with it.

It's not brain surgery so why is it so hard to deal with?

Obviously you didn't wipe the grease off your your brain first. Soccer, you were SOCKS. But you hit the ball with your head, your torso, everything but hands. SO why not call it Bodyball, if you aint pleased with Soccer. Or No Handsball. Other than that, take your name and go home. You aint gettin Football.

Plus the fact that real (ie not American) football was invented, played AND NAMED hundreds of years ago, what dumb ass thinks they have a right to change it when a new game is invented that has nothing to do with using your feet?

Blah blah blah blah. We're America. Tell ya what. Win a decent war and you can call it whatever you want. Until then, it's Soccer. Deal with it.

Considering "American Football/Gridiron/NFL" (whatever you like to call it these days) is played with your hands, I vote the rest of the world should start calling that HANDball....
THAT makes sense.

Um no. Handball is played out behind the school with a racketball by the Hispanic kids while they skip class. Nah, we will keep Football. YOU can have Handball, since the ONE object of soccer if just to not touch it with your hands.

Its a load of shite anyway lol.
REAL men play Rugby... no big girls padding and helmets there guys.

No Rugby is played by men who aren't in shape enough or tall enough to play football. Most of the guys who got cut from the football team here started a Rugby team so that they could look manly. All they got for groupies were a bunch of fat chicks. I mean even "I" have my limit.

This is bound to cause some controversy so come on... give me your best you big girls....

I don't have to give you my best. I could pick my ass and come up with a stronger argument. I'll save my best until you actually speak with some sense.

P.S.
This ISN'T a pointless rant OR a veiled dig at America, it is purely about the sport and peoples opinions on it.
Ya dig... suckaaaaaaaaa

Um no. This is YOUR opinion. And it's pretty idiotic. Think about some of the stuff that I have said. It makes more sense that what you just wrote. Ya dig?

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

Yeah dude. Totti plays soccer. Peyton Manning plays football.

 

[X]

You're a moron. I'll call it fucking Anusball if I want to, you don't get to decide what we call things, sorry. We call it soccer because we have a much more profitable and exciting sport where more then one goal is scored (if you're lucky) in an entire game. Here's a fun fact: The NFL grosses about 20 times the amount of money that any soccer league on Earth does. Enjoy that.

Jesus, I'm so sick of fucking soccer trying to tell us what to call things. Shut the fuck up, does it really effect you that much?

And again, for the ten millionth time: Football DOES REQUIRE YOU TO KICK THE BALL WITH YOUR FOOT. The game CAN NOT BE PLAYED without the Kicker position. Every game starts off with someone kicking a ball for fuck's sake, are you people ******ed, blind, or both?

How's this sound: You continue to enjoy the most boring sport on planet Earth and call it whatever you want to, and we'll continue to enjoy one of the most exciting and physically demanding sports on Earth and call it whatever the fuck we want.

Christ. You Brits act like the Queen gets kicked in the face every time an American uses the word Soccer.

 

[Afro-Ameri-Spawn]

An Xfearbefore rant used for a good cause? Do I sense a face turn here?

 

[Colamania]

Personally, this doesn't bother me too much. We call it football, and are happy to do so. You call it soccer, and are equally happy to do so. In my view, you're wrong, in your view, I'm wrong. That ain't gonna change.

However, this...

Win a decent war and you can call it whatever you want.

That's a different issue.

I am not going to stand for this. Win a decent war? How about World War 1? No? Then how does World War 2 sound? America has only ever fought one was without Britain's help. In case you didn't notice, you lost.

 

[Afro-Ameri-Spawn]

Yeah dude. Totti plays soccer. Peyton Manning plays football.

I mean dude, we have guys name "Dick", "Manning", and "Johnson" and other manly names playing football. Who does Soccer have? Pelle? Becks? I mean what is this? A sport or a list of dolls that you can buy for your daughter to go with her Barbie? lol

 

[Colamania]

Pele. One L. Pele. If you're going to insult the sports' greatest player, at least spell his name right.

Um yeah. That's kinda like Robin going on a rant about how many villians he and Batman beat. You guys tagged along. We did all the work. It was YOUR enemies. Don't worry. You're welcome.

Sor-y. I di-n't mean to l-ave the let--r out. Next time I wi-l real-y make sure to leav- out the one l--ter in the fut-re. K?

Of course, I could swear that it was an insult, so it really didn't matter anyways.

Ya'll never learn about the Revolutionary war? When America got it's independence and beat you guys, too?

Ok, there are plenty of examples and evidence to why it was an incorrect statement. But lets not turn this into a full out UK vs US thread, nothing good will come of it. The UK/US are supposed to be allies right?

Yes MK, agreed. This is not US versus UK. But Soccer still sucks and is not going to be called FOOTBALL! Now Futball I can accept, but you aint gonna in any way confuse ONE child who will go on the internet looking for old Joe Montana footage and have it come up with some guy in nut shorts running and tripping. I won't stand for it! lol

Here's a fun fact: The NFL grosses about 20 times the amount of money that any soccer league on Earth does. .

Here's a fun fact: Did you know that the highest attended single sporting event in United States history was the 1994 FIFA World Cup?! Suck on that!

On the point of the thread, I really don't care whether it's called football or not. It doesn't matter. It's the sport that defines it, not the name! So get over it! It doesn't matter!

That event lasted over a month, the average attendence was 69,00o, now Michigan at Ohio State got 112,000 plus, thats one game. Of course the super bowl has higher attendence than FIFA as well, Super Bowl 41's was 74,512, Also the NFL has the highest average attendance of any professional league in the world. Premier League is 5th behind Aussie Rules Football.


But who really cares? This all seems a tad pointless to me.

And yet I notice that you didn't post the tv ratings. Because, if I remember correctly, the tv ratings for that event was pretty disappointing.
