    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.

      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.

      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 😂

            Lol at American football. What a joke. America just trying to be the center of attention everywhere, pushing their shitty head concussions on people they don’t even want in their country. As an “American”, America sucks big donkey dick. So does American footy ball
