Soccer or Football? Question to the UK Guys

[I'm Gone 60]

Booo ManU...

I think it's funny when two teams besides ManU can be playing each other and singing "Stand up if you hate ManU, Stand up if you hate ManU..."

And when you have a lot of money like Chelsea, ManU, and Liverpool, you can buy your way to the top of the league...

Really.. I thought the bad teams were ManU and Arsenal....(I mean EVERYONE hates ManU... well except ManU fans that is)

I've been a fan of Chelsea for about 15 years now... and it's only been recently that been able to buy up everything... But I have to say that I'm happy the Blues are doing so well... But I've been there during the not so good times too.

But I watch both and enjoy both. They're just different games...

I don't think anyone is going to catch them this year and it seems that Michael Ballack from Germany might be signing with them, so how much stronger can they get. However, they did get dumped from the Champions League the other night, so they can be beat.

My man is a Chelsea fan

I will order the fox sports channel for him so he can watch all the matches when he gets here. Not to put down american teams(well the Eagles sucked this year), but the football in Europe is the real deal-they run around the whole time without all the "commercial breaks" our guys get!!!

I love watching the games when I can

There is one Premiere League team still in the Champion's League and it's not Chelsea, Man U or Liverpool............

im not a guy, but football is my favorite !!!!! the REAL football that is, cause the american one should be called handball - no offense -

i love 2 teams that, in my opinion, and hopefully someone from italy can back me up here , are the best in the world - AC Milan and REAL Madrid...the best football players in the world are italians and southamericans, you have to admit that.

now, dont hate me cause i didnt say anything about england teams...they're no 3 on the list after real and milan

FOOTBALL ROCKS !!

Not from the U.K or a man!! Football to us means "Gaelic Football"... another Irish only played sport, kind of on the lines to Aussie rules. Soccer is Man U, Chelsea etc.

Friends here think it's funny when I say "American football"

hey Mand-My Aunt played camogie for years(hope I spelled that right). Pretty brutal, I can remember watching the matches when I was younger. After a stick to the face and about 20 stitches..........she gave it up!

Althought the Real loss may be bad news for England because Beckham played like ######. Although Ronaldo has been eating far too many pies -- when did he get so fat?

No sticks in this one!! It's similar to Aussie rules in that they can handle the ball too. My husband was like-'What sport is this?!? they can kick, grab, handle and run so many steps holding the ball?" I guess we're just a wierd and wacky culture
