*reposts AGAIN same pic, so there would be clarity over why football is called football, and the other one should be referred to "pansy-ass-rugby with helmets and padding so the kiddies won't start to weep"*

It's called Football. Unless Sweden can't bloody score against Trinidad & Tobago then it's called a lot of other things I can't mention here.

And if you americans took your sport seriously you wouldn't just use it as a filler between commercial breaks now would you?

Soccer. Everyone knows that football is Gaelic Football. A real mans game as old as the hills. It involves 30 men on a pitch with goals at either end, a ball is thrown into the middle of the pitch and then everyone starts punching each other.

Well, exept Wikipedia since they call it Gaelic football and not just football...

I think you need to go to China

Chinese invented the game
Possibly true, however that doesn't mean it wasnt invented in England as well, seeing as there wasnt realy much contact with China like 700 years ago.

Just like lots of things, you can't say who invented the sword.. it was invented everywhere, there are thousands of inventions like that.

All of that say football (Americano) is pansy-ass or girly, well I would like to see you play football (again, American) at first with pads, the real game, and see how "girly" it is.  And then, play it without pads.  And I don't mean in you back yard, play it the way you would with the pads on.

Every heard of Rugby? Pretty much everyone in non state education played that game from the age of 7 to atleast 16 if not 18. We know how to take a hit. We dont need padding.

Well "soccer" players realsise they don't have to prove how much of a man they are by grappling another man's legs to the floor.

Point is,don't sterotype.An example is Vinny Jones.He'd destory everyone in this forum and he used to play football.Like i'm not going to say that every American Football player wants to wear padding.

To be fair, football does piss me off with all the pussy diving and complaining about non existant injures just to get free kicks. Seriously football has devolved into a poor game in the last few years.

Soccer - uses soccerball = round
Football - uses football = not round

Hence soccer.

I like playing football and watching football but its true, there are illogic rules that were added to balance things a bit... like :

- if player A is behind the punter before the punter kicks, player A can take the ball back for his team...
- the kickoff must be 10 yards or more
- you have to wear a certain number to receive a pass for the QB at offense, by purpose or not (example : O-line guy receive a pass in his back, penalty to him even though he didnt see the ball coming...) At at least it doesnt apply to fumbles...

Weird subjective rules FTL
