@ 41:
Whats wrong with calling it “american handball” thats what you use most of the time.
And we dont insist on owning the right because proper football is the bigger sport, but because we use the feet, and you dont…

@ 37: I’d like to see anyone of those yanks you mentioned to try and “fight” players like Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Thomas Gravesen or better yet a Vinny Jones or Dennis Wise at their prime…

Europeans are remarkable arrogant and ignorant about the game they call “football.”

Facts:

The first codified, standardized, and written rules of a game called “Football” was actually a “Rugby Football” code, where the ball was carried past a goal line, and extra marks were given for kicks after the touchdown. (This code is the direct predecessor to the original rules of Football in N. America.)

The first two official football clubs (there is some dispute of which of the two were actually established first) were both Rugby Football clubs.

The oldest football club playing to a standardized code was a Rugby Football club.

Ruby Football eventually dropped the “Football” from practical discussion of the game, shortening it to just “Rugby” N. American football, from around the mid-1800s to the end of the century. This change in terminology simply wasn’t followed in N. America, where the game “football” was being developed with the original Rugby football rules as the base, around the same time, in the late 1800s.

The oldest professional “Football” league is for N. American football, a much more direct decedent to the original code of rules of the first standardized “football” games than soccer.

The term “soccer” to describe the “no-hands” game wasn’t coined in N. America. It’s was first used in England.

So, in both the terms of a codified, standardized, written set of similar rules, and in terms of organization, American “Football” has far more justification using the term “football” than the European game does.

Funny how Europeans often accuse Americans about only caring about the popular majority, and not respecting other cultures, yet, when it comes to the game of “football” they insist that they have the right to the name because their sport is more popular globally, and they disrespect N. Americans for using the term in their culture for a sport which has every right to use the name.

It seems to me that the soccer fans started this flame fest. Why do you get your panties in a knot about the term football.
Here are a few points to think about:
-the term soccer was coined in England (from association football)to avoid confusion with other forms such as but not limited to rugby.
-it is not true that the entire world except the US use the term “football” to refer to the sport administered by FIFA. Most of the english speaking world calls it soccer. The world champions don’t call it football either.
-the versions of football played in Canada and the US (and they are different like Rugby League is different from Rugby Union) has been around for about 150 years. That’s longer than soccer has been played in most countries (FIFA has only existed for about 100 years)

@24
Even Pakistan has enough nukes to destroy USA. Russia has enough nukes to make a big canal from one ocean to another. Or “draw” smiley with craters.

@26
No, because of gene recombination.
@30
Hamburg Sandwich => hamburger. And turkeys were identified by pioneers as turkey-coc ks, birds from Turkey. Only football is like #14 said. Absurd.

@31
Too bad Germany isn’t closer to USA. You would be speaking German, because the only things you can fight with are:
- primitive Arabic tribes,
- Germans weakened by Russia and the rest of the world combined.
You even lost war in Vietnam and couldn’t take care of Korea!

Also, the game sux!
