Why did the US give their sport the name of a game that already existed from the early 1800's in England. Why not name it something else instead of switching names, calling their new game "football" while calling the old game "soccer" and confusing the world. FIFA which was founded in 1904 means ( in English ) International Federation of Football Association, not and damn soccer federation. Its funny how the US just calls it World Cup and not the full name Wold Cup Football. Haha

Oh, and don't get me started on that alleged "World Series"
When did America become the world. Surely that's an insult to the rest of the countries that exist in our universe. Haha

I know some people will be mad.....................Ah well

They're pretty shit. Even though they're doing really well, they're still shit.


pfffttttt~and who do you like mr pokester? wink.gif

i love MSL and FIFA !!!!!!!!!

I was able to see much of the World Cup in '94 when i was living in Santa Clara, CA. Brazil practiced as SCU where the SU~spousal unit~was in grad school so seeing them in practice was the shiznit too.

Best sport eva!!!!

I support Essendon .. yes they are currently on the bottom of the ladder after what I should say was a very lengthy stay at the top. Made the finals 7 years in a row!
Collingwood supporters are bogans, you don't want to fall in with that crowd.
