Football/soccer

[Sons Of Anarchy]

Hi everyone,

I am wondering what is your opinion on this.
Everyone else in the world calls soccer football.
But the US: Nah, we call it soccer.

It's foot-ball.
American football is played with hands & feet.
Which is stupid.

What is your opinion?

What exactly are you asking, man?

I think he is trying to ask us why do we(Americans) call it Soccer instead of Football.

This. Indeed I am wondering what about your opinions about it.

I'd have to say it's just how we say things. For example; people in the UK call shopping carts trollies or they call a TV a tele (same thing for a phone). They call French fries chips and they call potato chips fries.

lol I agree though every country has dumb ways of saying stuff. Like the UK calls cotton candy 'candy floss' and calls a piece of bacon a 'rasher.'

I just refer American football as leatherball
Lol, but that's just me

You know what they're talking about, so who cares. Everyone has their own different ways of saying or doing things.

If you kick a ball with your foot it only makes sense to call it "foot-ball". I dunno why the good ol' USA couldn't just keep it that way.

Us Americans like to be hipsters, it is a new trend
