Why don't you all just call it National Football Leagur for NFL?

DontRunMeOver

I can see how it can be confusing. We like to call the one where you use your feet football, for we are a simple people. We also find it helps when we play competitive sport internationally to use this nomenclature as 'soccer' is called:

'Le foot' or 'football' in French
Voetbal in Dutch
Futtobo-ru in Japanese
Fotbal in Norwegian
Futbol in (peninsular) Spanish
FuBball in German

Probably because they have realised the English are always right.

And I'm pretty sure most countries use the same kind of word for the sport where you use you feet to control a ball. In African English and Indian English, football is also the one where you use your feet. Or at least, whenever anybody said "we're going to play football" to me in India or Africa they'd then use a round ball and goalposts, not helmet, pads and lots of homo-erotic groping and grunting.

we do genius. NFL stands for National Footbal League . but NFL is the name of the organization, not the sport, as opposed to "association footbal", which is the name of your actual "sport".

yeah, as opposed to a dozen attention deficit hyperactive europeans chasing a ball around a field just to end up in a 0-0 tie after an hour of wasted effort. and im not quite sure how you see american football as "homoerotic?" sounds like a personal problem to me. and theres a reason american football players wear helmets and pads, its b/c american footbal is an actual sport that takes skill and hardwork and not a pansy-fest of scrawny europeans who's only skill is kicking a round ball back and forth aimlessly for an hour.

You don`t need to have a big score to have a good game.

Take Englands 1 : 0 win over Argentina in World Cup 2002. England go ahead just before half time Argentina basically throw everything at England non stop for the next 45 minutes. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole of that game it was so close , as were the 12 guys I was watching it with. Much more tension than any drama i`ve ever seen on TV or at the movies.It was exausting just watching that game.

There`s also England vs Portugal at Euro 2004. England go one up after 2 minutes , With 20/25 minutes left Portugal bring on Luis Figo who single handedly brings Portugal back in it & go 2 : 1 ahead , England have a goal dissallowed and then finally equalise in injury time forcing the game to extra time & penalties.

Oh and ask Right-Track about Man Utd vs Bayern Munich in the 1999 champions league final , only 3 goals scored in that game but a game people will still be talking about for decades to come.

Big scores?

Keep em , we don`t need them.

no one is arguing that a high score is needed to make it a good game, so you can give examples out the ass of "good" low scoring games (assuming any soccer game can ever be considered "good"), but thats not even the issue. the issue is that americans look down on soccer and you british look down on american football (which i cant undersand why). so maybe we should all just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Never! Not until you accept that all of those attention deficit hyperactive europeans who play for Brazil and Argentina are in every way (except body mass) superior to your padded fatties who look like agrophobic* ballet dancing** roving haemarroid*** sufferers.



*Due to the oversized helmets.
**Due to their spandex panties.
***Due to the lumpy arse-padding.

ok fucko, try to keep up with me. those "agrophobic ballet dancer" you speak of dont wear big helmets and pads to appear more menacing, they were them for PROTECTION you dumbass! BECAUSE FOOTBALL IS DANGEROUS! not like soccer where your biggest fear is a stubbed toe or a broken nail. and im not sure what kind of football you bitches play in england, but in America our players dont wear "spandex panties." and how can you say that your girly soccer players are in any way superior to our american footbal players? forget body mass, weve got you beat on athletic ability, talent, skill, determination, heart, courage, showmanship. theres a reason that 7 year olds (or the english for that matter) play soccer instead of football.
