Apperently its the most popular word for "football" in the world. I was speeking to this guy on msn who lives in New York, he looked at the site and said it should be forumforsoccer, or have Soccer in the name. What do you think of this  |

is it b*******. it's called football everywhere bar 2, possibly 3 countries. just because the yanks are too lazy to get a real name for gridiron doesn't mean the country that invented the language, and the sport should have to change anything...................them thinking it SHOULD have 'soccer' in the title is another example of american arrogance

So putting soccer in the name would get more Americans to the site?
Keep it football!

I agree, but the guy that I was talking to has seen the thread, he said that everyone that said football are wankers so everyone that calls football football are wankers..........................wonder if he realises that he's just singled out everyone not from the continent of north america. i think his msn needs posting on every football forum people know of............see how his one man crusade against the world copes with that |
