What a boring sport. This is pretty much the first time anything interesting happened in the entire history of the football.

We call it "soccer" here.

whatever europe/canada/wherever. we got the nukes.

I never understood why you guys call this game "football" since it has pretty much nothing to do with feet. You should call it the "carrying-the-ball-around-game" or just "rugby for pussies".

We call it "football" because it's a hundred times better than what those fucking foreigners call "football", and the Committee on Sports Names doesn't allow it to be called Debilitating-concussions-are-pretty-much-a-guarantee-ball.

Oh, and Rugby is for grown men who like hugs.

Hugs are awesome!

Bystander,

Why do you call a sport that permits the use of any part of the body but the arms/hands football?

It's because all of these games derive from shared tradition among the peasant/working classes. That tradition has given us rugby, 'soccer', and 'football' (using yank terms), as well as other similar sports. These were distinct from the pastimes of the landed aristocracy, whose pursuits were equestrian. Hunting, polo, jousting (depending what era you consider). Just consider some of the 'ba' games still played in parts of the Isles.

In short, it's 'football' because it's played on foot and not on horseback.

So let us stop this petty squabbling and rise up to overthrow the landed classes. I'll let the 'rugby for pussies' comment pass for now, as I can only dispel so much ignorance in one day.

I will add that I am impressed with 19 of the defense. He caught the ruse early, didn't hesitate, and carried the play to the end. If this is a highlight film for anyone, it's him.

Also his football is huge.

Fixed.
