It is called football. Quite simply, it is a BALL game which reuires the player to use a FOOT to kick the ball in 95% of the play. Soccer is an Americanism used to separate it from a game called American football that is played almost entirely without kicking the ball.
Football has been so called and so played for more years than the USA has been in existence.
p.s. we play you on Saturday so get ready for a lesson in FOOTBALL.
Soccer/Footbol/Kicky Game is less boring if you know basketball. Just watch the positioning (and the working for that positioning) of the players. It’s very similar to basketball.
Yep, got my pillow, my blanket, my “do not disturb, I’m sleeping” sign. I’m ready for the World Cup too.
I had a chance to go to a World Cup match once. It was either that or watching dust collect on my mantle. Unfortunately my Doctor said I wasn’t allowed to have any excitement.

I’m happy to see that Eightball has a vuvuzela. That’ll make him even more annoying than usual.

Spotted toe ball. That’s the official name in Pennsylvania.

Doc your mind and mine always seem to follow the same kink.

Soccer’s okay, but rugby’s the bomb! Saw it on NBC-TV last Sunday!

So, why are so many Americans playing soccer these days?
So we don’t have to watch it!

@ EIDo Disc Golf: Gee, that sounds more like something you scrape off your shoes (or your feet) after walking across a pasture!

Those “horns” everyone is playing during the game sound like a swarm of killer bees!

@lin4869 - I think a lot of people would find the game more exciting if they used real killer bees :-)
