football was invented before the american s were to lazy to
come up with a term for a completley different game -
footballs about 2 or 3 hundred years older than the united
states of america

Why do we call it soccer? I MEAN WHY DO WE DRIVE ON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD!!?? WHY!! why can't we be cool and
drive on the left like Europeans :( is that too much to ask
our government? I don't think so.

CHANGE OUR ROADS TO BE COOL

My opinion

football-hand game, two teams, each end of the field is a
end zone, reach that spot 6 points. make the feild goal
which are 2 sticks make it through those sticks 1 point, 4
quarters, the team wins. Its great, especially college
football

Soccer-No manos!!!! no hand sport, kick the ball through a
net----you know the rest.

FOOTball - HAND game????

Yes, you only use your hands in that sport, no kicking, not
like Soccer. The QB QuarterBack throws the ball at one of
his team mates and they have to catch the ball and run to
the end zone before being tackled.

there you go again..trying to make out you actually invented
something ...fotball is an old englishj game played between
villages with a pigs bladder not some mis-interpretation of
the other old english game tha uses a similar shaped ball
"rugby"..remember the americans came from europe mostly cos
they were too pious to hang around..

The only time you use your feet to score in football are
fieldgoals and extra points!

So you DO have some foot action, but not enough to call it
FOOTball... Americans and their silly sports.

american football would be cool if each team had specially
assigned snipers,.....takinig out slacking players with
shots through the head.

Only then would I take (some) interest in it

Strange game.

soccer is a wrong term...only used in the USA but in the
rest of the fucking world it is :
FOOTBALL

so be a bit humble for one time and try to understand that
life exists outside your country.
