Football (real)

[jimboston]

What are you guys all talking about?

Football hasn't started yet... they're just in the pre-season right now.

hey look, another genius pointing out that football is different in the US.

how many have been? 3242? 3243?

I actually have done it myself in this same thread 4-5 times.

It's always fun to get a 'rise' out of you diehard soccer fans.

A good 'rise' that, just a bunch of bored people wondering when/if you'll ever get a life... never mind!

On a more or less unrelated topic, I had good fun teaching some idiots on twitter about word origins, when they had a go at me for using the word soccer (can I not use what words I want?)... As I pointed out, it's an English word short for Association Football that is in the same vein as Ruggers, popularised by the captain of the England football team in the 1890s just an extremely posh way of saying football! Very Oxford.

So what you're saying is that we Americans who call this sport Soccer are much more sophisticated than the rabble that calls it Football.

I'd call your shitty game "bodyball" as you are allowed to use any part. not to mention how violent and shit it gets. probably the only place where you can kill somebody and get away with it is your bodyball field!

Lol, when's the last time someone died playing American football?

If anything, the amount of padding they wear would make a rugby player laugh in their face.

Ancelotti doesn't. his record is brilliant, with both Milan and Chelsea! I think it's pretty hard to bring the best out a newly gathered group of stars. Real Madrid suffered the same experience twice when they gathered their first and second galactica IMO

Leaving a decent team to a shit team.

Don't try to reason with a Marseille supporter, Marseille and Paris HATE each other, if you go to Marseille with a PSG jersey you have about 10 minutes left to live.

Correct! Football has been a working-class sport up until recently, thus to call it soccer would be somewhat inappropriate.

Actually many peolple argue that the padding is the problem. It leads to more full charging head on collisions. They seculate that a lot of the injuries would go away if they returned to leather helmits.
