How is American Football boring, you get to see people get crushed by 300 pound people. Or 2 athletic people running and smashing into you. Also seems to be a lot more injuries and concussions.

Everyone in American Football gets tatered at one point in a game. THAT is what makes it fun to watch.

A little history on the word Soccer. When Football arrived in the US there was another game with the same name that we know today plays in the NFL. So they changed the name of Football to Association Football, except that was too long so they shortened it to Assoc, except that was too difficult to pronounce so they changed it around to SOCCER.

Now understanding both sides and the bit about King_County_Downy saying a nil/nil game is boring. That is true, however most Europeans will think running around for 10 seconds and then a 35 second huddle is just as boring. Only by learning both games fully can you make a qualified opinion on which game is better.

But in the end it's still just your Opinion, and we all know what OPINIONs are like.

Because it is 5 seconds of play followed by 30 seconds of planning wich again is followed by a 4 minute commercial break!

You only like it 'cause we suck at it.  Oh yeah, and the short-shorts and high socks.
It's soccer only for you.  You were fighting the independence war and the brits were already playing football.

if watching a bunch of fags dive around if someone breathes on them is beautiful then obviusly it is way better then seeing a guy get planted and knocked out all in one motion, some manage to hold on to the ball.

Where this forum is based has absolutely no relevance to the name of a sport.
How it is referred to on THIS forum howerver, should be based on where the forum is located or the majority of it's viewers.  I didn't say it wasn't called fuussball in another country, but it is here in North America.  It could have been soccer over there, but the queen's English doesn't allow for the pronounciation of the letter R.

Yeah, that makes sense.  I think you may be watching too much T.V. to believe all Americans are fat.  Most Americans on this forum shouldn't weigh more than 180 POUNDS (U.S. forum again here people).  I only weigh 140lbs.

Doubt it.  Football was invented in North America.  Unless you mean soccer?  C'mon, when in Rome.....
