This generation of soccer is so bland, bring some creativity and change the color of mud or something, I hate brown for no reason!

You're not even calling the sport by it's right name, your opinion is disregarded!

Soccer is just as legitimate as Football.

Quote
Soccer's etymology is not American but British. It comes from an abbreviation for Association Football, the official name of the sport (for those of you who have never heard the team "Association Football" before, it was named after the Football Association, which still governs English soccer, to differentiate itself from the other major type of football, Rugby Football, which was named after the Rugby School. FIFA, the world governing body of soccer, is French for the International Federation of Association Football… F-I-F-A). For obvious reasons, in the 1880s and 1890s, English newspapers couldn't use the first three letters of Association as an abbreviation in their pages, so they took the next syllable, S-O-C. With the British penchant for adding "-er" at the end of words: punter, footballer, copper, and, of course, nicknaming rugby, "rugger," the word "soccer" was soon born, over a hundred years ago, here in England, the home of soccer.

As someone who has followed the sport all my life and know more than just the history of the 80s, 90s and 00s, I feel insulted you did not think I did not know what soccer was the shorten name for!

Anyway if we want to go way back into the HARDCORE years, we really start by playing with a pig's head or heart as the ball.

Roman days, human heads! Now that's a sport!

Blitzball is pretty fucking sweet. One of the reasons to love Final Fantasy X.

Don't get uppity with me Aki-at!  :P

I figured you would probably know, but I felt like posting it anyway.

Had Nigeria scored that goal and win 3-2, they would be in the final 16 by now. What a loser lol

Ah yes, but see what is on his foot, and therefore CLOSER to the ball is his Sock!

Soccer


Case Closed.

Even closer to the ball are his boots. By your account, the sport should be called "bootter".

Case now closed.

"When I first heard about that game I thought the people were socking each other. Now I don't like to see people hurting one another, but that's not what the game is. No, that's not what Soccer's supposed to be."

Today is England's last chance to get on board for the eights. They have to beat Slovenia and the US has to beat Argelia.

Let the excitement begin!

I saw the Nigeria vs. Korea match last night. It was being covered in Spanish. Gotta love that international feel! ^__^

But, I don't get what's so fun about watching football. I LOVE playing it, but watching it isn't as enjoyable. Maybe it's more fun with a crowd, or with friends watching it with you.
