Originally posted by Buffer Low Soccer, Football, it's all the same; kicking a ball around for no apparent reason. We have the Rugby World Cup here at the moment; i don't see any plausable reason for it (go All Blacks);)
It's not the same.We were football world champions 5 times.
Never heard about soccer in brazil before.Is it any kind of sandwich? 
Let's see:
We have 22 players in a "soccer" game, and only 2 can hold the ball with the hands, in a restricted area. The others must use their feet.
Football is played almost all the time with the hands, and when they use the feet they must call a mexican to do the dirty job.
So, could someone complete the thought? I just can't reach a conclusion... 
football is football.
and NFL is NFL. is not football.
period.
btw, guessing which one was invented first? 
In the backwards society of the US, football is soccer, and this game played w/ hands is football.

I dont like the word soccer either, but i use to so i can be understood by US members here. As i see it football means the game played by feet, not hands (that can be only an exception as in goalkeepers).
As for what it was invented first, football (with feet ) is as old as human civilisation. Rudby and NFL and all other "football" games was invented afterwards as an exception to the feet rule.....
How could i vote against England? I think we stand a good chance. It`d be nice to try & get over for a couple of games but car & house are sayin no (as is the missus!)
