Nope, only Americans call American football football. Despite barely using their feet in the game...

 

They have to run a certain amount of feet to get to the yard line.

Your guys' football is just socking a ball around, thus soccer.

It's like a chicken and egg situation here.

 

I hate everything.

 

I agree. Except I actually like soccer so...

 

Hull is the worst place in Britain for unemployment. I hate this shit hole.

No, what I meant was does everyone else but the English call it Soccer?

 

The Swedish don't, I got loads of stick for saying soccer the other week.

 

Nah, Americans arrived late and assumed they were right:

(I prefer the original term, "stop-start rugby with padding", much more appropriate.

Soccer has nothing to do with socks and came much later:

I wanna play some PSP games, but EP forums wont activate my account.....gwaaadddd damnnnn you!

 

Thanks to being sick I had to delay stuff... and now I am still sick but I have to rush everything .... *sigh*

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember hearing that the worlds largest American football audience in history was this year's annual game in England. And only 15% of the crowd was American

 

I don't know where you got that from, but according to this the attendance at that game was 76,981. I can't find any breakdown of nationality.
The biggest attendance was in 1947 in a exhibition game between the Bears and a college all-star team and was 105,840. In 2009 a Giants-Cowboys game drew 105,121, which beat the previous record of 103,467, set in 2005 in Mexico City for a game between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers.

 

Why can real life f*ck up so many things?

 

The trick is to keep going and don't let it get you down

 

Notice I said I remember hearing

 

you were wrong

 

I absolutely HATE it when your best friend dies out of the blue.
Really, i hate it.
