American football is the pussy version of the rest of the world's Rugby.

Because it's called football.  We invented it, thus we name it.  

Soccer is simply a shortening of 'association football', used in certain countries because the merkins couldn't think of a proper name for their 'rugby with shoulder pads' sport.

(this is boviously a sore point, from trying to buy footie boots on holiday several years ago, and getting hit with this metal cleated pish)

Ok... you're entitled to you opinion...

Either way I was talking about the origins of the word and how could one misunderstand it....

I know.... I was using the double meaning

"Football - how hard can it be?"

Which is probably more obvious to a native english speaker, I guess

American football should be called handball, considering how often they use their feet to touch the ball during a game...
Kickoff, Field Goals, Punts... only time....

[Ghostavo]

Actually american football should be called "get-the-way-out-of-my-way-or-I-will-kick-your-ass!!"... mainly because handball is already used to name another sport.
