"Football or Soccer?
In the 1880's, Oxford University students used slang which involved adding an "er" to the end of words they had deliberately shortened.
"Rugger," was slang for Rugby Football.
A student, named Charles Wreford Brown, was asked if he liked to play rugger.
'No soccer!' Was his witty reply.
He had shortened asSOCiation (football) and added "er."
The term was coined!
Wreford Brown went on to play international football, (oops!) soccer, for England!"

To bad about 7 generations back your ancestors fucked up and didn't get on the boat. How can we start so much later than you and in a few hundred years be better educated, better insured (dental esp) and so much better versed in entertainment such as sports. Obviously we are right in the dispute.

By vwin11 1149894383 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOne person called it soccer from england, EVERYBODY else calls it football cause we use our FEET! American football mainly consists of using hands...what a great reason to call it football.....
BAck in the days of old Oxford, you used to be able to use your hands as well in soccer. So before going on saying how stupid a sport is for not even using the right term you should use your head and research that. By the way, they do open up a footbal game kicking a Oval football about 70 meters. You Euros are too quick to criticize everything. I guess I would too if my country has been a second world country for a long time. Esp when it is cloudy most the time. No wonder why you guys can stand dealing with only one big sport, you aare all depressed "bloody C**ts " as you would say I guess. The funny thing is that we don't care about soccer, but we are placed 5th in the world without even trying. And our country still doesn't give a S**t .
By mike691826 1149816052 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFor starters, i did say mainly using your hands, i have seen american football before. Secondly you maybe 5th in the world, but everyone knows your S**t and only 5th cause you have won a lot recently...try playing argentina, we beat em.
Basically your trying to act like you know what your talking about and looking up the meanings on google.
Which is also American, because all you under Queens ruls can't think of anything. You are right, I probably don't know much about soccer as you but the funny thing is that you care. Don't be hating US soccer because they will have a cup within the next four WCs. We are just overall better athletes than the rest of the world, it is bound to happen. We are just coming up so late because now 2% of our country cares about soccer insted of .5% If everyone cared about soccer here like they do around the rest of the world, then you would might as well call it the US cup instead of the World Cup.
By mike691826 1149888279 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removedont get me wrong ... but u are seriously fucked up ... the " Us Cup " he says =)) ... here in europe we dont give a S**t about baseball , ur so called "football" , and u guys think ur the greatest at everything . and let me remind u that america was descovered by columbus ... u know ... we had boates when u were still indians ... let me see you at the next world cups ... i would be happy if the US would win it .... but there is no chance for that ever happening
By Robert89R 1157053629 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhy we have to start digressing to silly arguments about football or soccer or american football, or whatever. you do realize that what is now known as american football was invented around 1870. after rugby, but still before alot of the world came to know football (soccer). it was called football, because the people who invented it were unaware that there was another game by the same name in england. the name just stuck. who cares now. soccer is a cool name too. i like it. these are some really awesome goals, maybe not all the best. ronaldinho has had countless more that i would have included before this one. but the music fit well, as did the graphics. F**k off.

the song was pearl jam's new one and i loved it
...is a child's game enjoyed by the many underdeveloped cultures in the world (they get real defensive when you call it soccer because they have nothing better to do. No really.) Generally, they are bored with more advanced games like football (as its rightfully called in America) because it is far too complex a game for them to follow. Its a lot easier to just kick a ball around for an hour and a half, as children like to do, and so they prefer to watch this instead.
By bobomo 1149810827 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removefutball is the sport that have been more planned.. because the favorite does not wins only because is the favorite... futball is the best sport because this.. if you prefer sports when your team is the best and no one can win from them.. that's a child game... start paying more attention before write that stupid thing

what are you on about, childs game?! nice one...
By howie18 1149846177 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveBobomo, how can you be so cynical as to say that futbal is a childs game? Im not here to disrespect american football, to be honest, I love the game and everything about it. But dont you think it's slightly cynical to criticize the worlds most popular and loved game and to say football is better? After watching these amazing highlights, you would have to be an idiot to think soccer is a childs game. Joga bonito bitch. Watch WC06.
By Josox 1149834413 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits called FOOTBALL, not soccer.. wtf is soccer?
DINAMOOOOO DINAMOOOOOOO !!!!!
the is actually no such thing as soccer....shall we make up a random name for american football, like yank crap.....ull hate that as much as we hate u calling it soccer
By davebcfc 1149686070 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveA Proper name for american football! Is call the Gay Rugby. Why Gay??? Because they have to wear all these Gay Armor to protect themselves, fear of getting hurt.
By Lth783 1149695767 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveInjuries are very common in Football. Rugby is not nearly as tough of sport. And before you go off about gay S**t like how much tougher you are, your not.
By Thefrost 1151092390 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThey are getting hit by 250-300 lb guys. All you Euro-Trash are the same. Always hating on something the stupid Americans do or don't do. Well, hate on this....If we really wanted to, we could make it so the American flag is flying over Big Ben. Then you guys would be really confused. You would all have dental care instead of filling your crooked teeth with mercury. You all are loons. So instead of hating American Football, why don't you try knowing the game before you open your fucked up grill. We all know the game of International Football here. We all put our kids in it for exercise. Or are you to afraid that your precious little Beaver Ball will be nothing but a second class sport. Sort of like Lacrosse and Cricket. But you all have to watch all these guys that aren't even close to as athletic as some football and basketball players that fall on the ground and hold their skinny ass knees that weren't even touched. What was that Barcelona v. Arsenal score? 2-1? Wow, what a good game. 3 whole goals score and 88 minutes of runnimg around and kicking the ball out. Sort of like the rest of your pathetic country.
By mike691826 1149815734 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehaha, rugby players dont wear protection, yet they are the same weight...explain that...oh and rugby is a flowing sport, american football, baseball and basketball bore the S**t out of me when i watch them live! So many timeouts and delays! I saw the knicks play bout a year ago, one of the most boring things ive ever seen, i was well looking forward to it.
You probably dont appreciate football as much as we do in europe because you have a crap league, the English premiership is amazing.
"If we really wanted to, we could make it so the American flag is flying over Big Ben"...you what?! where did that come from!
SOCCER S**kS !! Bunch of guys running around playing with your balls. GAY!!
