Answer 1

Yes mate I totally agree. I'm an English bloke (West Ham) that happens to live in Canada, very close to the American border, and let me tell you, it's a hard job trying to educate these North Americans. Now you can understand why us Cockney boys call them septic tanks. Just look at the SH** that comes out of their mouths...........Listen Dale C, when you grow up maybe us English blokes will teach you about when we burned the white house, and any one that thinks that Columbus discovered America must be an idiot.

Answer 2

You do know, don't you, that Soccer is a term invented by us English? It's from the term "Association Football", which was used to to distinguish it from Rugby Football (rugger).

Anyway, what's the point of your question? I've never met many Americans who do claim to know much about footie. And thank goodness they're not into it, if they were they'd probably become very, very good indeed, and they'd stuff us on a regular basis.

Answer 3

There's 'football' of all different kinds all over the world, American football is called American football because it's American (duh). Gaelic football is called Gaelic football because it's Irish and Aussie rules football is called so because it's Australian (duh).
Why do the English think they invented the term football? Football was around in various forms long long before the Football Association was even thought of, you might as well be complaining about people calling Ping Pong 'Table Tennis' or Table Football 'Foosball'. Football is universal, not just for 'soccer' mabey you should do a little research before you get so arrogant, after all getting arrogant is the yanks job isn't it? LOL

Answer 4

Without being offensive to anyone.

Football (soccer) is played with the feet. Only the goalkeeper is allowed to use his hands on the field of play, and only in a certain area.

American football is played mainly by carrying the ball. The foot is rarely used, so I don't know how it got the name "Football".

Answer 5

me English>>>

I think that Soccer should ORIGINALLY be known as the right name for modern day American Football just genrally because if you look at the word "Sock" in Slang use it is to punch/agresively hit someone/something with aggression.-- Just as we over here see with AMERICAN FOOTBALL with how they charge into each other to retrieve the ball.

yeah Football all over the world should be known as Football not Soccer as the sports person's feet is in clear contact with an actual ROUND ball about 95% of the time.

I have nothing against American football, as I have watched a couple NFL games on late night Channel 5 (here in England - Manchester) and have found them very entertaining.

--But sorry Americans, you should not win on this one >> after all you are the same guys that commony refer to a public toilet as a bathroom and also Snooker as a Pool - I mean WTF "Pool" - I need to research where that one came from.

Answer 6

Hi there,
If you click here on the link you can download for free Table Tennis Pro: http://j.mp/1qXDjtt

it's completely free and it's very fast to install
The objective of the game is to develop the ability to hit the little ball back well with your bat. At first it may seem a little difficult to handle because it varies a lot with your mouse’s sensitivity, but don’t worry, with just a little practice you can become an expert in this type of game.
It's a really nice game.

Answer 7

Haven't we beaten you stupid brits in enough wars?

We destroyed you in the American Revolution and at the Battle of New Orleans.

Our sports are better. Football or soccer is the dumbest game I can think of. It's a bunch of whining, crying, idiots flopping down on the field hoping for a ref to blow the whistle. I wouldn't let those guys kiss my butt.

Answer 8

I agree it should be football based on the usage of the foot. Americans much like us are lazy and shorton things hence american football being refered to as football (refering to it as american would be stupid even for them). Americans do know a fair bit about football and it is a massive game at college level (with scolaships like their main sports). Until recently their womens game was the biggest and best in the world.
I have no idea how for this world cup they were considered 5th in the world rankings though.

Answer 9

I met one American guy who was very knowledgable about English football. Afraid I tend to concentrate on the premiership (Arsenal fan) - but he knew a lot about te other leagues and non league teams.

Agree though - most of them know as much as we do about American Football

Answer 10

Eat meat, drink rum and coke.

I don't claim to know anything about English football because I don't care.

What the hell is a superhoop?
