Fatty, how can you refuse something you already do? Also, they invented the sport, I think they get to name it. Specially when 99% of the world calls it one way and the ONLY country that names it differently is well... The USA.

btw, "Americans" are all the people from Canada down to Chile and Argentina. Just saying.

Oh, and to Hitch's original question... no. :)

Americans cannot call football by its real title as they have already named another sport by that name with their own spin.

They named this american Football, which ironically rarely involves contact between the players feet and the object ball.

Baffling..

Ashes, there were two forms of football. One was called association football, the other rugby football. One became known as soccer, the other as rugby. Anyway, I digress, you are all happy coming to my country, stealing purses from our old ladies, and robbing our post offices. America is the land of opportunity.

I'm with HighSociety on this one! Long live Ireland!

Just because Ireland rocks doesnt mean America sucks

Oi for those that call soccer football, take another look at your history books. There was a sport called Football before Soccer, So we both stole the name and therefore nither one is the orginal.
