It is football, its al in the word itself. Foot, as in feet legs. And ball. You play the ball with your feet, hence the word football. Now, American football, should be called, HANDBALL, because face it they play the queer shaped ball with their hands. Now, Im no rocket scientist but even I knew it.
This isn't related to the topic above. I just wanted to step in between all this racism to make a little point about the video, if its ok with all you people?
The vid was ok but what pissed me off was the sound effects. They were cap and ruined the video. It made it pretty amateur. Only a 4 year old would find sound effects like that funny.
Oh, right, all you Americans and Europeans can go back to clawing at each other
you're probably the first person to ever ask themself that question. the answer is because we don't realize other countries exist. is that the answer you're looking for? you probably already came to that conclusion which makes me wonder why you bothered asking the question in the first place.
I'm an american and i have done my research. its football. Way before American football begun, there was a sport named football. What you saw was football. It takes skill to just control the ball.
ps. american football is good but rugby can really mess you up
As I've tried to explain to you soccer people, before, it is not a real sport. Running around in silk undrwear and kicking a ball back and forth isn't really a sport, is it?
And headbutting each other til your brains turn to mush is?And whats with calling `american football` - football anyway,90% of the time the ball is carried in an armpit.You should call it Pitball!
I am not a soccer fan,frankly i find the whole notion of grown men chasing a ball rather silly (gay) ,but to put down another `sport` when the first one is just as stupid..well thats just dumb.

will someone please remind me again just how many countries play that stupid stupid game that americans call football? if i remember right it's only one country, that in itself should be a wake up call for yanks, no one else plays gridiron because it is stupid!!! the whole world plays football
Ok i respect that the English thought and named football first, i understand that. but why in the hell are you insulting us (americans)!? we dont make fun of your sport, and by the way, football (american) is one of the greatest sports in the world, i would love to see any football (English) player take a hit from Bettis or catch a pass from Farve.
On behalf of all across the pond, sorry. There are a lot of plonkers on both sides, who cares what sport is called what just play, watch what ever you like and leave the other alone. Lets just enjoy life and stop all this shit, we could be dead tomorrow. Peace love and harmony (and a new rule that gets Scotland into the World Cup)
so the hell what, american football isnt one of the most popular sport in the world, only in america, nowhere else plays it, apart from the fact that its just rugby for wimps. football is the most popular sport in the world , fact! and dont make out just cos you havnt americanised it to scores like 102-123 that its boring, we think basketballs boring, one team scores, then you go the other end and the other team scores, the whole game is just scoring points, when you play for 90 minutes and theres only three goals, you go mad for each one!! and what about catching a throw from farve or whoever, wow, catch a throw, that sounds sooo skillful and exciting, id like to see you save a shot from wayne rooney or tackle ronaldinho when hes coming at you with his tricks, the whole world has heard of the most famous footballers, where as the most famous american footballers nobody knows.
I totally agree! every1 across the world has heard of players such as Maradonna, Zidane, Henry, Gerrard, Roony, BECKHAM ESPECIALLY! and Ronaldinho but can any1 outside of america name 1 American Football player?
oh ronaldinho forgive him for he doesnt what he has missed!

while we may suck at football, we do command the largest and most powerful military the world has ever seen. so when it boils down to the cold hard truth, america is the leader of the world. there really isnt any opposing that fact.
Guys notice how that moron american starts talking about military and all that shit, because they're idiots and for them everything comes down to military and war and blood etc.You americans try to put your nose everywhere in the world, everybody hates you(from S.America to Africa), you're the mix of shit people from all over the world gathered together and call yourself a nation? Great nations have great history and traditions like Greece, Georgia, England, Italy, Spain, France, Russia.....etc. And that countries america, australia, canada and nz that can't play the game and call it soccer have no history or past, they were created by europe!!!
Hey Yankies you're not welcome in this world, you're bunch of military fuckers, oil suckers......and your baseball sucks too, gays in tights swing those stiks and run in circles or squares(can't remember).
Who won 2nd World War - RUSSIANS! Who conquer half of the world in the 2nd WW - GERMANY! (see the point? There's no fucking America in this)We're go on: What weapons are best - Russian, German, Austrian and some of Israel - again America sucks this round too! Round 3 who's tech's are best (military including) - Japanian (but not military,cos they cant have army as the result of WW2), Russian, Germany (and all euro with them) ,Israel. Shall I go on?
Please. Your country is crap. Your women look like men and and your men are a bunch of bitches. Not only does the USA have more wealth, better living conditions, and better looking women, we arn't a bunch of queers that want a pat on the back for naming a fucking sport.

I don't think the Am. football guys can do it without breaks every 4 plays ...
3 countries in the world call the game soccer, the rest of the planet call it football, the english invented it and called it football, its only called soccer by the 3 countries that can't play the game, america, australia and nz and these americans that are writing in here really need to learn to speak and write english properly and as for american football or aussie football, who the hell else in the world plays the stupid games? football is the worlds number one sport, americans seem to be very jealous of that, is it because you's are crap at it?

Aussie Rules
by adyx, 1157446607Report sentSpamReply
Aussie Rules football is based on Gaelic football not English football. The two games are fairly similar so Ireland play Australia in a mixed rules game every year or two. They are a good choice for someone who like a good contact sportlike rugby but with the skill and ball control of football.
They got further in the world cup dan the USA so u gotta give em credit for dat.....sayin dat its not very hard 2 get further than the USA....they get knocked out in the group stages or neva qualify!
you almost made it through that exhausting lecture that nobody cares about without making a spelling error. now I'm going to have to ask you what exactly you meant when you said, 'is it because you's are crap at it'? at least when we use the wrong words (soccer instead of football) people still know what we're talking about.

way did they have to call it soccer when everybody calls it football? over all the clip is funny
I'm American and proud to be one. But I am half English and very proud of that as well. I know the difference btw american football and football. Yes we call it soccer and it's stupid to have changed the name. I have never been a huge american football fan but I LOVE football! Played for all my life. I've been trying to keep up with the games as much as possible lately. But just b/c you are american, aussie, english, or whatever don't bash on everyone else. We all do things differently. Talking is the number one that's different. If any ol American Joe were to go to England he'd be so damn confused. I bet the average Am. can't tell you what a bloke is or a biscuit is over there. Football is getting alot bigger in America and you should give us credit for at least trying to be like you. And I don't think any American football player could keep up for 90 minutes, no breaks, and no padding, oh and rugby players could totally kick their ass as well!!! So don't judge ALL american to LOVE am. football b/c not all of us do.
Handball is played with a little blue ball, football is played with a bigger brown and white ball, and soccer is played with a black and white ball. Put down the pints and learn something for once.
stupid argument. Football/soccer, it really doesn't matter. Everyone likes different sports. I happen to enjoy watching American football, soccer, and rugby. They all have their own qualities, and they're all good sports if you're willing to take the time to watch a couple games that you might not find all that interesting at first. Americans might not like soccer because of the relative lack of scoring, Europeans might not like American football because of the breaks. It's just what you're used to.
Australian Rules football is the greatest sport on the planet. It is non-stop action, plenty of scoring and HARD this is why it is the #1 sport in our country.
People say aussies can't play soccer, well we couldnt care less coz we got better sports to follow. Only the wogs play soccer and they can still get Australia into the world cup ya cunts!!!
At the end of the day does t really matter what sport we play..athletes are athletes who have become the best they can be at there sport (Michael Jordan,Zinedine Zidane,Brian O'Driscoll etc etc)..and sayin' that american footballers are pussies-take a look at football the players flail around crying because someone has brushed against them..people who say that basketball is like that are talkni' shit..unless you've played the sport you really don't have the right to bitch about it!
Those are some very funny SOCCER clips. Why is this clip called FOOTBALL when they're clearly playing SOCCER? lol Silly limeys and their quest to be different. British girls sound hot, but Englishmen sound... well, pretty gay actually. It's true. You do.
americans invested all the WORLD series when in fact only you play it. How can you call it WORLD eh? dumb..just like your president

i call it armoured rugby (but that's a quote from a film before the americans dig into me) i think it sums it up pretty well though.
it is very typical of the american to go round calling everything gay because they don't like it. (although that balls grabbing clip... pretty queer)
