he's got a point
He can take his point and mail it over the Atlantic.
I think it's more today with the fact that the US call NFL football when 98% of the game is played with your hands. They should be calling Soccer, football and NFL something else (although I know it'll not happen).
And maybe the anti-soccer stance is a generational thing.
It is a commonly known thing that soccer comes from association. I don't know why so many have a problem with the term being used.
No thanks I'm fullSoccer AM anyone?

I get annoyed with that but even more so at the term Touchdown when it seems the only thing they don't have to do is touch the ball down.
Yup, there is reasoning behind the terminology of it all, but it has got lost over time.
I don't understand why some over here get annoyed with the term "soccer" when we use it all the time ourselves, as has been highlighted.
But because American football is called "football", they can't really can they. Be very confusing.I don't think it's necessarily the term 'soccer' being used over there it's that 'football' isn't, which is played predominantly with the hands. If football and soccer were interchangeable like here there wouldn't be an issue.

Who is "we?" I don't find it annoying at all.That's the thing that we find annoying - their 'football'. It should've be called something else leaving football free to be used for the game played with the feet.

Are you the same sort of bloke who used to moan that Radio Rentals only used to do televisions?
So. Coventry Rugby Football Club?
Until recently it was called Coventry Football Club, and was the first Football club in the city. The Rugby bit was added when it went bust earlier this century, by which time it was over 125 years old as a Football club.So. Coventry Rugby Football Club?
