The football Thread (Don't talk about American football for the love of god) - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f27IqVo5-Oc[/media] Sums up watching football for me. Rugby at least is a bit exciting at times. Maybe it's just cause the Irish international team is god awful at soccer.

Matrix374 Keeping football silly since 2010

American poster here. I call this sport Football and the American/Australian "Football" Handegg.

[QUOTE=Matrix374;27731276]and you cant respect the rest of the world calling this sport football.[/QUOTE] You're forgetting that the US doesn't respect anybody.

[QUOTE=shian;27732186]Great, I spent my time making this, and I get rated dumb.[/QUOTE] It's ok. I enjoy football. When I lived in Sant Cugat, I saw LaPorta every day :smug: From a distance, obviously.

I honestly like Ice hockey better than football.

I called it soccer when i was 8-14 years old. When i was 17 i started calling it football

I fucking hate watching football. In a usual game about 10 things usually happen that includes fowls and goals etc.

Just come back from Watford, lost 1 - 0 to Brighton!! Not happy. We had some great chants thought, " Did your boyfriend comb your hair!"

[QUOTE=Maximo13;27732163]You're forgetting that the US doesn't respect anybody.[/QUOTE] Or the fact the US are the only country that call it that, oblivious to the fact it's the most popular sport in the world.

[QUOTE=Greaterbeing;27734938]so uh anyway.... arsenal and birmingham in the league cup final eh....[/QUOTE] Will be interesting.

[QUOTE=-Method;27280449]Clearly, the americans are the only ones who refer to it as Soccer (that or very few places), while the rest of the world know it by its proper name as [B]Football[/B].[/QUOTE] Wrong, the word soccer originated in ENGLAND.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;27735029]Wrong, the word soccer originated in ENGLAND.[/QUOTE] True, however you don't fnd many fans calling it ''Soccer'' in Britain.

Because the sport is officially called Association Football and as such is called Football for short.

Just got back from the Southampton game, conveniently. Great game. United just got lucky.

I never liked Football. All they do is trip and cry and miss every shot. Its hockey except retarded

Why do most football videogames suck balls ? (no pun intended) PES is the only one playable

How is American football or that Aussie gayshit even football? They hold the ball in their hands. Football most likely refers to playing/kicking the ball with [b]feet[/b], not holding it in hands.

AFL is mostly kicking iirc Also, Australia lost to Japan :(
