soccer/football

how come the REST of the word calls the sport football but the idiots here in canada an the u.s call it soccer? it just makes no sense....   its called football because u use ure freaking foot to kick a ball. football doesnt mean picking up a gay looking ball and running around while u get chased by steroid filled players. i hope beckam does change the image of FOOTBALL here in north america:mad:

I'm no american/canadian, but I guess it's because they don't want it get mistaken in the american football, so it's soccer. Here in Finland at least, no-one almost even knows what american football is. big_smile
