Football is man's sport. This is played in Europe. You can see Real Madrid or Manchester United and you can lick your finger from pleasure.
American not only plundered English but also changed the world football to a violent and understandable game and "renamed" football to soccer. The most funny is that this American football is not played by feet and actually it is handball.

Football is the name given to a number of different, but related, team sports. The most popular of these world-wide is association football (also known as soccer). The English word "football" is also applied to American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby union and rugby league), and related games. All of these codes (specific sets of rules) are referred to as "football" by their followers.
Football (also known as association football or soccer) is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players each. It is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. A ball game, it is played on a rectangular grass field, or occasionally an artificial turf, with a goal at each end of the field. The object of the game is to score by manoeuvring the ball into the opposing goal; only the goalkeepers may use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extended time, depending on the format of the competition.
The modern game was codified in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The most prestigious international football competition is the World Cup, held every four years. This event, the most widely viewed and famous in the world, boasts twice the audience of the Summer Olympics

The United States is the only country in the world that calls soccer, soccer. It is known world-wide as "football". We, and Canada, are the only countries where American-style "football" is played. The Australians have "Australian Rules Football", which is unique to Australia, and it more closely resembles rugby.

Um, what are your reasons as to why soccer isnt a real sport? Soccer happens to be the most popular international sport. Football is more of an american sport.

you had to be a yanqui, you don't know anything...
1- why do you call that boring game football?? i mean, 3 times in a match they use the feet...
2- a man's sport??? and why do you use all that protection stuff, i mean, if it's so manly why they use helmets, why don't play with anything, like in rugby, a much better sport than the yanquis one...
3- the sport is so boring... 3 second, bum!! to the floor, and wait like a minute to start again, and then 3 seconds and... to the floor... come on!!!
4- why they don't pass the ball, it could be much easier and entretaining, instead of watching someone running, when 3 defenders are in front of him... pass it. my god, they don't even have a brain to do that??
5- sport?? you call that a sport?? do you see how fat those defenders are?? come on, a sport helps you to be fit, and in shape not like those.
6- football is the most played, the most passionate, the most entertaining sport and game in the world, it's truly played with the feet, it helps you to be in shape, and in everything is thousend times better than that sport that you dare to call football...
7- football is much a man's sport than yours, you can see the kicks and punches, and much more blood than in that-american-little-game
you my friend don't know anything about sports...
