actually, c1, it is we who are wrong
but i dont care, i'll still think of soccer as the white round ball played with ur feet, and football as the game where u sock people (tackle them)
My god, their words almost seem logical

football in britain is soccer, football in america is american football, football in australia is rugby league
I try to avoid calling any game football for what is probably an obvious reason nobody really knows what you are talking about when you say football... football is an evil sort of pixel really

football is a game played witha ball using your feet.
By definition a ball is a round object and a foot is the thing on the end of your leg. Therefore American football - being a game played with an oval shaped inflated lump of leather using mostly hands and people running about in poncey padding, rarely kicking a ball - is wrong on both counts.

heh, yeh, rugby is the real game, nobody wears all these helmets, they just run v. fast at the person carrying the ball. It's fun.
We did it at school for a couple of years but I think they're scared to do it in-case anyone gets a serious injury. I've seen someone break a collar bone, and I think someone broke their neck playing rugby at our school about 14 years ago, something v. serious anyway.
Still, fun game.

lets take a look at this from an easy point of view a lightbulb,
in france they call it an ampoule or sumpfing
in germany its called something else
but here in britain we call it exactly what it is, a lightbulb. Other countries are stupid
