    Re: FF Playoff Draft Sheet

    Odd, then, that you don't recognize the word soccer, it being a British word and all.
    I recognise the word, and i recognise it as the word that countries that don't play Football very well use to describe Football !

    Let me explain a little further, imagine you went to Canada and you found that instead of calling American Football, Football or American Football they instead called it something else like Throw-Egg ! (There was an excellent post by one member on this forum in fact explaining why American Football should actually be known as - ThrowEgg), my post was just a reaction to that and i was attempting to humourus !!

    It would be just as foolish for Brits to complain bitterly when an American refers to himself as a Yank, with the Brit loudly proclaiming "You're not a Yank, you're an American!"
    You can call yourself whatever you want, but you wont find anyone British that refers to football as Soccer unless they have been living outside the country too long !

    All it does it highlight the ignorance of the Brit. Maybe if you guys ever created a real football game like most of your former Empire did you wouldn't be so insecure about the word soccer.
    Do tell me, what constitutes a proper football game ?

    Also i would like to hear about these so called football type games created by our former empire. I would be really interested if you could name 1 other than American Football (which is derived from Rugby anyway).

    What i find funny is that actually i am more of Rugby fan than football and if you have ever seen a game of rugby, apart from that fact that you cant through the ball forward (think lots of laterals) it actually has some similarities to American Football !
