Best Fouls

Soccer, you damn yanks take our game and rename it!
ITS FOOTBALL! you know you hit the ball with your foot!
As for your American football thats just rugby for pussies, wearing all them pads and helmets, taking breaks after every five seconds of play so your fat overpaid players can catch their breath! I'd love to see your stars take on any UK team at rugby!

Soccer was allegedly derived from 'Association Football', which was abbreviated to 'Assoc.' which, in turn, then became Soccer (derived from the last three letters of 'Assoc.').

You may also be interested to know that it is not just Americans who call Football Soccer - it happens a fair bit in Australia and New Zealand too (where Rugby Football is simply known as Football / Footy in place of the 'real' football).

thank god! i hate it when ignorant people keep calling americans stupid for calling futbol,football or what ever way you want to spell it, soccer! its stupid to bash an entire nation of IMMIGRANTS just because of one changed word. it just so happens that americans got used to the idea of soccer not football. its apart of our culture and any disrespect of a culture should be considered ignorance. im sure there are words that come from america that other people around the world changed into something else, we dont cry about it, we just accept the fact. GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm reading Bill Bryson's book, "Made in America", which mixes the history of the USA with the development of English vocabulary.

The average Metacafe user (judging by their comments) would be surprised at how many commonly-used 'English' words have their origin in America.

And I bet you would be surprised by how many english words have their origins in France.

im an aussie. an down under we call rugby and the australian football league footy so we call FOOTBALL soccer

australian football league (AFL) is not soccer it is a completly unique game only played in aus

There is no real 'football' in New Zealand, there is rugby and soccer.
In Australia 'football' usually refers to Australian Rules and occasionally Rugby League

i always wondered where the word soccer came from...

when you start driving on the right side of the road, we might change it back to football. why do you care?

Nicely said. I agree! Although I am American I can't understand why they renamed it soccer! It's plain stupid!

This is the real FOOTBALL. Americans must respect the game and call it by its proper name of football. Who cares if another sport has tried to steal that name, this football came along hundreds of years beforehand.

would like to see UK take New Zealand, and some of them call it soccer. So shove it. And there's no way you could watch that game and say there were no floppers.

Of coarse if you use American football players in a game of rugby the UK team will win... because... THEY PLAY RUGBY!!! Good call!!! If your precious rugby players played american football, they would get slaughtered... And you complaining about who calls it what, are you like 6? Football, soccer, who cares, its the same sport and its fun to watch, so shut up.

you piss me off. I am English, and if you ever watched a game of American Football or football or whatever, then you would realise that they wear padding because the hits really are harder. In rugby you just don't often get people running flat out at each other. Yeah, rugby is a physical games, but the hits aren't that hard, or as often.

I am now less pissed off with you, but not completely satisfied.

Yeah oh no lets have every player die because every other person takes steroids. I dont hate rugby, I hate jack a$$s like you who think your so smart and you are better than everyone else. Need some ice for that burn (my son's line).

u damn british mother mother F**ker ..think ur so tuff..F**k ur soccer players...or football players..w,e it is tkae dives like theres no tomorow..fucken faget

Why the F**k should U care go drink your tea then u can S**k my fat hairy balls

firstly, all "prefessional" football/soccer players are pussies.
and you, sterotyping the british public. i hate the game, and i don't drink tea.
maybe cucltures differ to the classic stereotype.
and finally, football/soccer fans are generally considered hooligans... and you wouldn't catch them drinking tea.
culture shock... maybe?

Do they still screen 'BIG LEAGUE SOCCER' in the UK??? And as for uk rugby....well it was rather amusing to here the english booing their own team after they LOST to Argentina. What a agame that was aye??? aye??? ....helloooo??

Or the Irish one for that matter

have the right to rename anything after spanking the brits in a war with like 12 people fighting an army. i am american born and have played soccer well over half of my life and always wanted to call it football but was afraid of getting made fun of :/

You were afraid of getting made fun of for calling football by its true name? If you're that much of a wuss, then you shouldn't be playing football at all. Give away your cleats, stay away from a football pitch and take up hopscotch or something, because you are not a man.

U shouldn't care what ppl say about u! unless it's complement! I do! It works! It takes a bit of time to teach ur self, but who cares?!

yanks are dicks who think there better then evryone i agree that they are to puffy to play rugby and theer footy team wud be better if there wasnt one

moronic T**t that war was basically brit V brit so we won ....and you los....no i think we also lost as well...i think.. any how its football !!!!!!

no a** wipe it was americans vs. british. we called ourselves the United States of America. we signed the constitution as the "United States of America" in 1776 and the war ended in 1778. go take a history class and who gives a s*** about the name.... and i would like to see yalls rugby players go head to head with our football players since yall think yall are so tough.... if u think we are pus*** b/c we wear pads why dont you get your rugby players tell them to go up against our football players while NO ONE has pads on and lets see whos left standing at the end off that one.

a few years ago
the rugby league champs Vs the american whatever you call it champs

the game had to be stopped as the score board did not hold enough numbers
the Rugby team walked all over them

and just so you know they then played american football (same teams)

of course the rugby team did not wear all those pads

and won that game also

lol

Hey ‎The Funkapotamus, get the stick out of your ass. :]

It's a ' soccer ' boot , and by the way he has some nerve to be bringing up uk rugby at the moment , given they are about to sack their national coach less the 12 months before the world cup.

Got wiped out!

Motherfucker!!!
Your game!!?!?! You goddam horsetoothed fogbreathing limey bastards take credit for everthing don't you? Who are you anyways? Some fat shellfish S**king peice of s**t waste of time! what do you know about this sport? Apparently not enough to realize that the game, which your so quick to call your own, is loved and enjoyed by countries everywhere, and alot of them call the game by a different name.

The baby didnt have his nap

I opologise for my previous comment and submit to any words of disgust you may care to reply you can E-mail me if you want...

I"M SAYING THIS IN SOME FUTILE ATTEMP TO REGAIN SELF RESPECT, NOT TO MENTION THE RESPECT OF MY PEERS..

You can't just say S**t like that. I'm sure professional rugby players would beat football players at rugby, because that is what they are paid and trained to do. Just as i'm sure those same rugby players would lose horribly in a game of football. Thats like saying cricket players would lose at baseball. And although i like rugby, the hits in football are a lot harder and require the pads. It is a completely different game, and you saying this kind of thing shows how ignorant you are of the sport that you think you are so qualified to belittle.

this is true i live in america and all my friends say that football (american soccer) is a "super hardcore sport" how hard could it be to tthrow your fat for 10 seconds tops and then get a 20 second brake c'mon how sad???...!!!! props to you

dude where do u live (dont tell me i dont care) because where im from theres like 6 people in a thousand that r fat and they run like 3 miles a morning just cause they can so dont dis our country

FIREBALL !!!!!!! its a home make game link back if u want rules

good video

good video

someone oughta F**k em up

Soccer is for pu**ys. This is a typical game with a bunch of little boys who whine more than a school girl. PLay a real man's sport like hockey or football.

You need to aggrevate the opponent to make them lose their concentration in order to make the game easier. You have to be really concentrated when playing football

unfortunately these two clubs would beat any mls teams pretty good. even i they do cry a lot.

WATCH ME TOO THE NAME OF MY VÄ°DEO
'TURKEY SOCCER THE NEXT GENERATÄ°ON'

An American with some brains! Just joking, so don't bash me any Americans out there. Just nice to see a nice guy who doesn't get all pissed at everything.

And US sports (apart from the X games) are crap

Here we go again.

as i recall, it was not an american who invented cricket, the shitiest sport under the sun.

it would be right for an american to call cricket S**t becuase its one of the only sports that their countryu isnt good at the aussies and english rain supream!

Dosn't make it shity .

u were goin so good...but i didnt like the way u finish.
However ill not offend u...its not necessary. u know what i, as the most europeans, think about this subject.

a smart american

and i found that quite funny, every other person here is fuckin retard,

nice

whatever. american here, scot- welsh- irish- english decent. i guess i got the best of all worlds, i know you guys are just squabling over club rivalries and nation rivalries, it is just a game guys. i know i know, america S**ks , americans are dumb, americans are fat, yeah yeah, there i said it for you, don't waste your time. anyway, i thought soccer, i mean football on the british isles was supposd to be tough, and full of guys who didn't fake and dive like pussies. come on man, you guys let me down, i expect it out of the portugues, and spanish, and french, maybe even the brazilians, but not you guys!!! you and the germans are the only ones who don't fake the S**t the yanks too!! look at the way mcbride took the elbow in the face. hello!!! McBride!!! probably scotish decent!! do us proud!! it isn't in our collective genepools to act all pussified like that. i am ashamed to call myself a welsh- scottis- irish- english- american. shame shame.

and your saying assies dive? pfft

but did you see any welsh -scottish- irish-english players dive/flail on this?

it was all welsh- scottish -irish- english players fight and hand out glasgow kisses to each other

this is also the atitude that got americans into strife in iraq

or football whatever you want to call it, but choose wisely on how you rip on us americans. that steriotype that you used about us only being able to run to buger king shows your ignorance. it also shows that you obviously know what it is called and have been there too. I guarantee that I could kick your british butt in any race whatever size you choose. not all of us are fast food lovers.

I watched a fight the other day and a football match broke out !

{'=',:,'=}

yea?
just a advise:
try to be tripped by someone with 80Kg,runnig as just he cans, and see the result.
And then, try to be tripped by a 40Kg at 2Km/h.

Good Luck

I have been playing hockey, football (that's soccer for you poor bastards from the US) you name it, I've even been tackled harder than most in the vid at gym class! Just check that ''headbutt'' it's nothing! this kind of crap is ruining Football!

Did that ta piss ya off, ye Unionist pi3ce of...

Just kidding, man. Peace!!!

Well that just goes to show what a disturbed ,perverted ,and TOTALLY ignorant dick head you are then doesn't it.

it dosent matter if u think that the yanks changed the name of football to soccer it really dosent matter its a name for hevans sake. Whats important is the game and how its played.
