        Have you been to other countries to hear it?

        In Australia and America it has been called soccer for ages and I could care less if people call it soccer but you really do sound silly disagreeing with that statement.

              Firstly when peopel talk crap, they deserve to be told, only 2 here doing that.
              Secondly I don't doubt the origin of the word soccer is in England since the language is English and the game originated there. However no one in England calls the game soccer, its called football like everywhere in the world. The US have almost always been calling it soccer because they have their own version of football. It certainly doesn't mean that the game of association football isn't football over there too. Australia has adopted the name from the US not England.

                  Ok, boys, before we get too personal, can we stop the insults.

                  I think you are both now way off topic

                  There is another forum you can go to and no one minds insulting each other

                    So I'm not allowed to say "No one I know calls it football" but you can make these two generalisations... interesting...

                    anyway, I'm over all of this. Say whatever you like.

                      You allowed to say it but it doesn't mean you are right.

                        How can you say it's wrong? "No one I know calls it football" - Do you know all the people I know?....

                          As I wrote before, you must live in a very small world.
