Rugby vs Football

I know this isn't rugby but damn.. this is why most people here in America hate soccer or "football".. haha

you see it in hockey and basketball too. it's amazing how easy it is to drop a 6'2", 200lb+ athlete.  just a sign of the times in pro sports.

To ALL: If u have ever played Rugby u really wouldn't call them guys f*gs, u question this and don't question why the NFL player gets to put his tackle in on a crash test dummy - c'mon really, in a sport so tough they couldnt find a real offensive player to test on? And seriously u think LA rugby club is on par with the Lions, French, Aussies or NZ All Blacks? Or any at club level. The test is flawed for many reasons mainly because of the inconsistency in the methods and subjects I would say.

^^ exaclty lol...
and in reply to tx's post..... so what if your "football" players would come and destroy our football players.... they would of course... but just cos yours is a more tough sport with bigger/stronger men it doesnt mean that it's "real football"... its just simply not football!!! its not using your feet neither are they using a ball!
and i know spanish football is more fancy and they are more exciting to watch as they utilize faster gameplay and are more skillful but they are weak and do cry like a bunch of pansies lol... not like england.... even though u do get the odd few..... drogba for example.... hate him so much!

+2 lol

Doesn't matter it's the same concept, Baseball uses "bases" and bases aren't a part of your body.

Noun: A solid or hollow sphere or ovoid, esp. one that is kicked, thrown, or hit in a game.

a football = an ovoid that is thrown in a game.... so it's a ball.

LOL well the United States isn't gonna do something just because the rest of the world does it....which is why we don't use the Metric System   XD

LOL what a stubborn country   O:

ya hes a bit of a noob :S

United States never does anything because the rest of the world does it.... It does the exact opposite to try and be different.

thats right! lol we are stubborn fvcks xD

Don't worry I get the whole argument, neither side would ever admit the other is better :)

lol true...cuz our football is better :P (just pushn buttons, dnt worry haha)

Actually NO clever though you obviously are, my fellow Brummie (a person from the city of Birmingham, England) is correct the name of the sport depicts the activity, its heritage OR the origin. You are misrepresenting the English language by confusing the origins of words with the modern day usage of the prefixes or alternate meanings of "Cricket" etc. Also  you are confusing nouns (naming words) with actions (doing words). For e.g. Bowling is the action of propelling a ball/spherical object towards its target not a game that uses a bowl! And for the record Matt is correct too as football is a game played primarily with a persons foot/feet and a ball! He is actually echoing my sentiments in a previous post but he/we are still correct.

He is actually echoing my sentiments in a previous post but he/we are still correct.  Also BTW You gave a definition of "ball" that appears to be americanised. So since we are talking about the English language then perhaps a quote from the Oxford English Dictionary (10th Edition, 1999) might give a more credible definition as "a solid or hollow sphere (round shape) especially one that is kicked, thrown or hit in a game". Please note there is not use of the word "ovoid" - egg shaped or whatever. Not even spheroid - meaning "sphere-like but not perfectly spherical." For too long American sport has competed against the rest of the world using the might of your culture and global influence as credibility a to the worth of your sport. Yes you are great at Athletics, Tennis too, Cycling.  You gave the world Basketball which imo is the one sport that is truly compelling to play and rivals fooball (y'know the real one). I will quite frankly kiss your ass3s for this game.  In truth you have the Superbowl which is a champion of champions in a domestic league.  And you have the Baseball "world series" that actually is only played on 1 continent by 1 nation! The question is how global are the sports that you play as a nation?  You would think a game played primarily with your hands and running wouldn't be called football but thats America for you. I wish you guys would stop bast4rdising the English language because all you see here is stupid fvks who cant spell using UK English or spell checking in US English. Its suppoased to be their language but I guess they spend more time on the Internet than in real English classes/books etc. ANyway thats enough of a rant from me so I bid you good night OR should that be gud nite?
