Poll: Football Or Soccor

[Stebas]

Soccer!? Hahahahaha. I call Soccer, soccer and American football, Football. i dont get whats so entertaining about a couple of guys kickin around a fucking ball, now when when your pumeling eachother to get the ball thats a different story.

Go NFL!

\m/

Yes thats the americans view on the naming, but if american football is called "FOOT"ball why is the majority of the game play with hands, where as soccor, it's played with feet, i still think that soccor deserves the name football and american football, could still b called American Football,

 

[weary]

football and rugby in armor?

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Whoever invented a sport (despite the fact I have yet to find a sport I actually approve of) gets to name it, and bollocks to anyone trying to override it.

Hey, guess who invented football?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

And it's Soccer, not 'soccor'.

Beat me to it.

 

[lewism247]

I call it football

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED,NOT SOCCER!!!!!!

'deep breathing'

ahem

 

[tomtom94]

What is this soccor of which you speak [/beenninja'dmanytimes]

Anyway, football. As in British football.
The day I call it soccer is the day the desks in my Maths classroom spell out "soccor".

 

[siffty]

yea it is known as football but in aus it has caused a bit of confusion in conversations

 

[El Poncho]

Well, some people here call it fitba but yeah I call it football.

 

[RanD00M]

now when when your pumeling eachother to get the ball thats a different story.

Go NFL!

NFL is for wusses.Real men play Rugby.It´s like Handegg only more manly.

OT:

*glare* You Canadian ninja.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Its really not a big deal.

Its not like we should change it for such an arbitrary reason.

 

[mrx19869]

Well, considering England invented the game if you call it anything other than Football... you're doing it wrong.

ya but since "we" won the American Revolution... we call it whatever we want....

 

[The Kangaroo]

I suppose since I'm Irish I should call it soccer but fuck GAA

Well, considering England invented the game if you call it anything other than Football... you're doing it wrong.

ya but since "we" won the American Revolution... we call it whatever we want....

PAH! I laugh at your revolution HA! IRELAND took on BRITAIN with just guns and won

Wow, I don't think I've been so patriotic in my life, it feels... stupid

 

[rokkolpo]

Isn't it spelt Futball (2 dots over the u = oo sound) not football.

well no.

maybe where you live. but not in english.

 

[LWS666]

american football is known to britan as "rugby with armor"

 

[Flamezdudes]

I think its stupid how American's can change the way words in the English language is spelt or what things are named. Us Brit's made the fucking English language, do it our way.

 

[seule]

you say potato i say potato...
Could start the same debate about cookies and biscuits.
Different places have different terms, but it's always good to see the people who want to get into a fight over it

Yeah, and how they can't u'se apostrophe's for heavens' 'sake.

Everyone should return to proper language roots, the evolution through usage is a crime against Engelond. In fact, the drift away from the Anglo-Saxon in Englalande was a terrible mistake.

 

[UltraParanoia]

But then we would sound like a bunch of toffee-nosed nancy boys.


OT: Who cares, hockey is better than both sports.
