unfortunately we also invented america.

[HoosierDaddy]

Really? I thought the Earth kind of did that. Anyways, you know you hate loving us, so all is forgiven.

[Tiste Simeon]

Actually we invented football *sigh* Was it you americans who invented blissful ignorance?

[HoosierDaddy]

Maybe. I know we invented Coca cola and McDonalds. Soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer. It's as annoying to you as Handegg is to us.

[Bent]

Aye, but we invented bacon so piss off. Also, I enjoy rugby, but like to watch football more. Rugby is just a bunch of guys running aroung on a soccer field because they arent good enough to play soccer, and like toching half naked other men....yes, that is in fact a jab at Cougar, because I like pushing his buttons.

[HoosierDaddy]

Is that button titled: "Masculinity/Fear of Latent Homosexuality"?

I like rugby as well. This whole thing started with people making fun of american football.

[Grief]

Soccer?
Doesn't really annoy me.
So therefore, Handegg doesn't annoy you("its as annoying to you as handegg is to us")

So, you won't mind anyone calling it handegg from now on, right?

HANDEGG

Fixed.

Its hard not to make fun of something, with a name like handegg...

[HoosierDaddy]

Grief, you are single handedly ruining my positive emotions towards the mods here.

And, I know soccer annoys some you.

According to Mac's picture it should be called: "Butt-sex line".

Well, I think handegg is a perfectly justifiable nickname. Soccer is just dumb. Even if you had stolen the word rugby from us and put it to your game it would make more sense... But football? That's just stupid...

[HoosierDaddy]

Bad argument. Doesn't the term "soccer" come from England as well? Run-Lots. That's my new name for soccer.

Hockey!

[Macros]

becauzse the majourity of the arguements so far have been wonderful

[HoosierDaddy]

Mine isn't. But neither is mine. Also, I edited so my response made more sense.

[RodeoRanch]

Hug it out, bitches. Hug it out.

[HoosierDaddy]

As an excessively effeminate American who likes American football (redundant, I know). I love hugs. I invite everyone to give me a big old nice and long hug.

The nearest thing we currently have to the earliest versions of organised football in the modern sense ( the chinese and the aztecs did not play it that's just bollocks) is Aussie Rules. They are all football , Rugby Football, Association Football, American Football, Canadian Football, Australian Rules Football and Gaelic Football, it's just that the rules have diverged, US and Canadian stem from Rugby variations after the Rugby Football Union had been established in opposition to what would become the Football Association. In the past different schools etc would have had differing interpretations of the rules (we are talking 150 years ago) and it was not uncommon for matches to be played with one schools rules in each half. During the first Lions (British Isles combined side) tour to Australia the Lions played Rugby and Aussie rules, even though they didn't play Aussie rules at all in Britain. Furthermore the Rugby Football League was forced to split from the Rugby Football union in the late 1880s following the decision of the union to not allow the Northern working class players to be paid as proffesionals, creating two sports (union did not turn proffesional until 1995 or 96 I can't quite remember).

Soccer is just a colloquial derivation of Association, as Rugger is a nickname of Rugby Union. It was very common for me and my friends to call it soccer and it is very common amongst my rugby playing friends who generally refer to rugby as football, and the players as footballers (not rugby players) and use 'soccer' to distinguish the dribbling game. To my mind it was only in the mid-90s particularly after the 1994 world cup that the British started to object to soccer as a term because it was deemed to be American, before that it was very aceptable slang

[HoosierDaddy]

Hah! Stupid Americans! Wait, what?
