Football originated in England. Americans call it soccer for some unknown reason. American footballs involves over padded closet ghaYs running around in tight uniforms engaging in body contact. Yuck

americans call soccer, soccer, because that's what the game is. soccer.

football is football.

cricket orginated in england. that's it. oh and i guess tea. that's really it.

China invented football.

[Marilyn. 340]

Two of the earliest recorded football type games from Europe include Episkyros from Ancient Greece and the Roman version Harpastum, which similar to pre-codified "Mob Football" involved more handling the ball than kicking. Many earlier competitive games revolving around the kicking of a ball have been played in a few countries throughout history, such as cuju in China. Non-competitive games included kemari in Japan and woggabaliri in Australia. The modern rules of association football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played in the public schools of England. The history of football in England dates back to at least the eighth century.

meanwhile, back to post #1 -

there's been a lot of movement over there, for the last year - some new laws, some new charges available, some new procedures;

all for stopping this 'man on woman' hate crimes.

What chaps my @ss the most is the acid-tossers.

the correct term is sadder. "there is nothing sadder than a closed mind."

Nothing worse than the cliche police.

English football involves a bunch of guys running up and down a field, trying to kick the ball into the other's goal, which rarely happens. It's basically an excuse to go get drunk with 1000s of other people in a large venue. Pong is the video game equivalent of soccer/football.

I'm convinced it's popular because all you need is feet and a ball to play it, which almost everyone in the world has.

what are your thoughts about acid tossers in India ?

Plus the players have great bodies. Everyone checks out the players butts and 6 packs!!

American footballers look ridiculous !

Tossers drop acid all over the world.
