Sorry, forgot about Gaelic. Joel Send a noteboard - 02/07/2010 10:23:48 AM
It's just what happens when everyone plays the same sport but there aren't any rules.

Seems weird, considering the name, that only soccer is played almost exclusively with the feet.

But, while I'd have said there are no UNIVERSAL rules, yeah, just reinforces the point: It's a VERY popular form of game the world over, hence every locale has at least one variation of its own. Capture the flag is very similar in many respects, except you must simultaneously defend one object and attempt capture of another, which is placed in your goal rather than the oppositions. It doesn't even need to be a ball (though there's no reason it can't)

So, soccer is actually a British term- who knew? beetnemesis - 02/07/2010 04:09:26 AM 984 Views
That doesn't change the fact that calling a game played with hands and an oval "football" is silly *NM* Floffe - 02/07/2010 07:22:33 AM 323 Views
You've been seeing too much John Cleese haven't you? Artsapat - 02/07/2010 08:55:49 AM 863 Views
Wait, so "spherical" is implicit in the term "football"? Joel - 02/07/2010 09:14:07 AM 707 Views
You must have missed the "ball" part. You know, round object? Legolas - 02/07/2010 09:38:15 AM 726 Views
"Round" includes "ovular" as well as "spherical. " Joel - 02/07/2010 10:04:24 AM 918 Views
