So who here will be watching the football tonight (proper football, not the American version of rugby :mrgreen: )?
Big games tonight for Scotland and my wee country Northern Ireland. England look like they could let down their 'loyal fans' again. :lol:
Jump to Posti know, i support two teams, scotland and whoever england are playing :)
and yeah, why did the americans steal our name football?
american football isnt even hardly played with feet...
Jump to PostI have a secret to tell you if you promise not to tell anyone else -- I don't like American footfall either. :eek: European football (we call it soccer) is a lot more exiting to watch, but we don't get much of it over here.

Haha I think everyone outside of England is like that. Ahh a Scottish fellow then? Here is the ultimate question, Rangers or Celtic? lol.
Don't get me started on American football! I mean, what is a touchdown? They don't even touch the ball down :D

OK, please excuse my ignorance here... So what sport are we talking about here anyway?
American football == the modified version of "tackle the ball"
European football == is this the same as the German "Fussball", soccer right?
Rugby == can't pass forward, must touch ball to the ground to score, and other little differences
Is Rugby the type of "football" that the British/other Europeans play? Or is there another type of football that they play that I'm not already aware of?
American football= what we call football in the States. Chicago Bears, etc.
European football (and every other english-speaking nation)= soccer
Rugby= what you said.

As far as I know, the "football" they talk about is soccer.

That's just the defaults. Wait till you see what I've been making with Gimp... :twisted:
yeah, rugby is kinda like american football in that you tackle people and run and there is a goal but thats about it. The rules are very different.
Football = soccer for just about every country apart from the USA

Yeah they get it on some channels late at night or early in the morning. I have a few mates across the pond that are die hard Rangers so they get to watch Setanta.
For those that watched t'internationals what a night, great results all round (except England managing to scrape through!) especially for my wee country Nothern Ireland, now top of the table after beating Sweden 2-1!
We're Not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland!
