    Soccer was coined by the British, btw. It’s your fault we call it that.

    Football is a sport played all over the world. American Football is only played in the USA and Canada.

    Sorry, Americans, but you lost this battle ages ago. Just let it go.

      American football is gaining popularity in Europe and South America at a pretty healthy clip. Enough so that the NFL is now sending teams to play games in those places. They are even starting to consider expanding a couple of teams to Europe in the future. And there are more and more international players starting to get a foothold in the NFL as players.

      You might have won a battle, but you could lose still lose the war…

        There is a lot of interest among Europeans to watch American football, but there isn’t really anyone playing it here. I think it’s because American football has more complicated rules than rugby 😂

      Run it by me again… You carry the ball in your hands and run forwards? You occasionally throw it, again using your hands?

      What do you call it?

      Football.

        Check the community, Chuckles!

        Besides, I’m a Bears fan, so I’ve seen plenty of footage of Dick Butkus’ hits.

        You know, years ago I saw a bit on a UK NFL show where they had a couple of rugby players and a couple of NFL players try each others’ sports.

        The NFL players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. They’re big guys and they hit hard, and they don’t wear any padding. No thanks!”

        The rugby players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. You’ve got the pads, sure, but that just means everyone hits each other harder! No thanks!”

        See? Here we go.

        Soccer - Uses both feet. Should be called feetball.

        NFL - Only uses one foot to touch the ball. During punts or feildgoals. Accurately named football.
