u wouldnt have copied anything, u just would have been playing the same game

Bah, you lot would have found something wrong with that way too. Look, I don't agree with what Ryan wrote, and I am American. We don't all think the same way. Besides, if you love it that is all that matters. Personally, the threads don't bother me one bit.

this is one of the most retarded things I've read here in a long time.

Time for you to lay off the drink, otherwise you'll be the prime example why soccer season is bad for your intelligence.
I just asked a simple question. but u **** chose to get all offended. so u being so damn smart, since **** doesn't know why u call hand-game football, would u be kind enough to explain. since there already was a game by same name.

oh and i do already think that football season is bad for intelligence. proves that yanks know shite about the most widely spread game in the world.
actually, I am not offended at all. I just find the comment above (my original quote) to be totally stupid - but not offensive.

oh, and I ain't a yank - if you had read my original post in this thread you'd know I know a heck of a lot more about soccer than any football or baseball.

LOL..oh you can argue with me, but don't mind me if I argue back! :P You know how defensive I get over this type of stuff. Besides, just because I debate with you doesn't mean I don't like you. If that were the case, Mike and I would never talk anymore.

Football - god damn it. It does what it says on the tin. You kick a ball with your foot.

In football they do. In American football, the ball is rarely kicked.

Soccer is the association, i.e. NFL. So to be consistant, when you call football soccer, you should call American football NFL (or whatever it is.)
