Answer 1

Normally I wouldn't have bothered to post anything on this board as I'm much more a fan of Football (soccer) but since you want to make a fool of yourself and act like an idiot I'm here. That and because William B posted a question about your question on the Football (soccer) board. You my friend need to check out the link that William B has provided for your uneducated mind. Check it out and research it thoroughly and how can you say something like "no offence to u americans" after you just called us dumb? That was real intelligent on your part. Well congratulations on making a fool of yourself and being an idiot here. Next time at least click on Check Spelling before you submit a question. It's there for a reason not just part of the web page design.

Answer 2

You are a real tool (no ofence???)
We Americans take the best from the world and make it our own. We have in the past. We will in the future.
We took your PM and made him our btich. Now were done with him and will decide who to make ours next. Again no ofence. If we want to change the name and call it Queen Elizabeth there would be nothing you can do about it. The best thing about the U.S. is that even a nob like you (no ofence) can say stupid things.

But best of all, if you don't like it you can get off the Internet (invented by us yanks) and go to another site (yahoo=American) to cry in your tea about how we took the name football.

Answer 3

Why should I be offended?? I'm an American and I LOVE soccer with a passion and you are an idiot who can't spell. Let me give you a little history lesson:

A long time ago, in England, a group got together to lay down rules for this new game, football, that was becoming very popular. One group (that later became the Football Association) agreed that hands should not be used and another group (from the town of Rugby) wanted to allow it. They split up and the first group's game became known as Association Football (soccer comes from the word "association") and the second group named their game after their town, Rugby Football.

When rugby moved across the Atlantic, a new rule was adopted allowing for the forward pass. This game evolved into American Football. American's didn't "steal" the name. They just changed the game.

Answer 4

Both American football and soccer have their origins in varieties of football played in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, and American football is directly descended from rugby football. The majority of the plays in a typical American football game involve handling the ball rather than kicking it.

In my opinion you really can't compare the two side by side because they are so different. Each uses a variety of skills unique to its own way of playing, not making one any better than the other. American football is, however, ten times more complex to play and really requires specialized strengths in various positions and it requires ten times the amount of physical abuse.

Your (no ofence to u americans) comment is useless after your opening statement, so why bother.

Answer 6

Learn where the term came from before you criticize it. Football is named that way because it's played on foot. You should have done some research before jumping to a foolish conclusion. English came up with the word "soccer". Maybe American football should be called "boys football" and soccer should be called "girls football."

Answer 7

Soccer? When did that become a sport? The best soccer players only make the most pathetic football players (kickers) Soccer is for 3rd world nations who have dirt fields and use a chicken as a ball. Soccer is football for kids who cant catch, hockey for kids who cant fight, and excersize for limp wristed fairy rich kids affraid of a contact sport. Futbol? Thats about as much fun to watch as a group of 4 year olds play t-ball, then again, at least the 4 year old t-ballers actually score after 60 minutes of running in circles. Bunch of floppers when the get run into, like Vlade Divac on dirt. Soccer...pffft...just be carefull not to choke on your orange wedge or spill your Capri Sun in your moms mini van princess.

Immigration! nice blast thats classic. No "offense" is more like it....nill, nill.

Answer 8

Lol i like the no offense to you Americans when you just called us jealous and ***** dumb, but its called football because you use your feet to punt,kickoff,field goals, extra points, and running.
