Does any one know why people like football better than soccer?

Question

Because football you just tackle people and run. fooball is way more confusing and soccer isn't.

Answer 1

FOOTBALL IS SOCCER
SOCCER IS FOOTBALL
your question makes no sense.

Answer 2

What on earth are you talking about? Football was founded in England in the 19th Century. It's only the bloody Yanks that call it Soccer because they named their stupid game Football, which should be called Handball because the ball is in hand nearly all of the time! Soccer doesn't exist as a name in England, it is FOOTBALL, you kick it with your FOOT! Soccer is an American invented name, which we do not use in Europe!

Answer 3

Americans are more interested in razzamatazz than the actual games in question.
It's part of the whole picture and they do this sort of thing very well.
Strip it down and American football is crap.
The rest of the world loves football and America clings to oafs in stupid costumes and a game that never gets going.
In football, everyone is involved, even if they are not in possession of the ball.
In American football it appears to be about how ludicrous the costume is and how over-developed the muscles are on the oafs.
Why does no other country care about American football?
Because it is crap.
Baseball, on the other hand, is MUCH funnier.
Still crap though.

Answer 4

it is called soccer, if you are a rugby following guy as you would know it as rugby football (excvept Im not a rugby follower but enjoy it). Now I will call i footbll as it is cool. :)

American Football is a copy of rugby league, changed slightly to suit the wussy Americans whi need shoulder pads and helmets so that they don't get their shoulders cruised by the scary fat guy who is defending aginst you. Football is actually a more skillful game than American football as everyone (maybe not the keeper) needss pretty much the same skills, exept for finishing and such. Ameroican football, opnly one guy needs to kick, one guy needs to throw (I know there are laterals) and so,e guys need to run and some need to tackle

Answer 5

Soccer and football are the same thing!

Soccer is just a silly name that Americans give to Football.

Answer 6

point one-call it football.The world calls it football,its only those yanks who call it "soccer".i mean its basic common sense.Do you kick the ball with your "soc"?no.You kick it with your "foot".Therefore the term football.
American people are ready to hail anything American,even if its boring and involves bruising other people.American football does involve strength but more than 80% of the American football players are overweight.Skill isn't appreciated.But on the other hand,football is such a beautiful ,skillful and wonderful game that it can (and has) changed the lives of 30 million people around the world.Also,a more commonly used term appeals a lot to the yanks-"soccer(football) is for pansies."They consider it to be a very boring and feminine game just because it doesn't involve people literally killing other people.but we cannot help it now,because American football has acquired such massive fame that it would be really difficult to replace it with football.

Answer 7

The word 'soccer' is derived from the' Football Association'.

Answer 8

Well, in the world, soccer/football/futbol/whatever is undoubtedly the more popular one because it is a game of flair, showcase and downright flopping (funny, but weird).
But the reason why Americans love football (the american kind) is because it is OUR game. The game that stirs OUR passion. The subject of debate for OUR drunken idiots. The only sport that the world hasn't kicked our butt in. They don't like our sport for the fact that its too complicated, its too full of unintelligent brutes, its too... American, I guess. But I don't care. And not much of America cares either. Because Futbol might be good and all, might stir passion, might be the beautiful game... but you have to see an American Football game. The roar of the 12th man, the smell of tailgating, the rivalries that test friendships, trust and marraiges. THIS is the reason why futbol pales in comparison to football in the US

Answer 9

myby because they have nothing better to do with there time. i mean lets all go to a gridiron game and be bored to death with all the stop start crap how can that be entertaining.. no wonder america is the land of the fat they must watch there game for 4 hours stuffing there face's with hotdogs(am sure you can scoff about 50 hotdogs in four hours) i think the only reason they like gridiron better because the amount of points or touchdowns not much skill involved there is there(i throw the ball 50 yards he catches it runs another 40 yards wow not very exciting) there is no tatics involved no skill no stamina they are a bunch of overpaid clowns who should be in a circus no wonder the game is only popular in the state's they are a boring species

Answer 10

Comes down to personal preference.I will use your terminology as I call Soccer football.. but I;m not going there.

Football (we call it American Football) is a game of strategy, power and strength with little skill.

Soccer (We call it Football) is a game of strategy, skill, speed, strength and when played correctly is so beautiful it can bring tears to people's eyes.

The yank at the start gave the usual.. bollocks mate. Those Line backers wouldn't last five minutes in your average Rugby game. American Football sucks ****.

Answer 11

Football is Soccer .... most commonly known as Football here in the UK ... if u mean American Football u posted your question in the wrong place ... altho i personally prefer rugby to any kind of football , American, British or otherwise....
