Why do you Englanders insist on calling it football when in most of the world, particularly in places where they still play the game well, it is properly referred to as futbol?
Come on, get off your pompous butts and call the game what it is called in the rest of the world.

I bet you are excited to watch our Soccer Team this summer. There are a lot of important soccer games scheduled. 😀
Originally posted by Red NightLook on the bright side...at least the Englanders have the good sense to play the same game, no matter what they call it. American's on the other hand play an inferior brand of rugby, complete with all kinds of protective equpiment, major knee injuries, and spinal injuries so severe, many of them never walk again. European sports are superior! 😏
