Shoeball or kick ball! Obviously Americans play football with their real feet. So it's football πŸˆπŸ˜‚

This is as pointless as arguing over truck vs lorry, or apartment vs flat.

Thusly, I call the boring game "soccer" and the often decided by refs game where everyone has brain damage "gridiron". Nobody wins, which is beautiful in its own way.

It's called soccer in places where it's a B or C tier sport. America, Australia, New Zealand at least have at least one other massively more popular sport called Football.

What are they even all doing in here, anyway? Clearly starved for Greggs sausage roll banter in that benighted continent.

As a citizen of the US I can assure you that our football is more like a choreographed dance routine done by over paid no necks who are afraid to take a chance. The only sport I played as a kid that I enjoyed was 'soccer'. We were never told it was called foot ball every where else in the world. There is zero chance most americans will ever step away from that fake circus of manufactured glory.

They use retarded measuring systems, can't call their own country by the right name and name it as the continent, they leave their fellow citizens die of illness if they can't pay for it, and sustain their economic system by waging war or provoking them, and their president cant hold his shit in, what did you expect?
