Re: [Soccer] confederations cup (spoiler)
said by rfhar  :said by icp1 :said by hobgoblin :Does the rest of the world really care about this half assed competition? Its hardly the World Cup. Hob I agree to a point, but Spain, Italy and Brazil in any tourney make it pretty strong... Not only that, but it sure is a good preparation for the World Cup. Exactly. This span between cups has been great for soccer with the olympics and these tournaments...

Having been born and bred in South London and a season ticket holder in the shed at the Bridge for several years I dont have an issue with the term Football.

Actually,
The term "soccer" is invented by the British not Americans or North Americans.
quote:
The British invented Football in 1863, full name Association football, the term football is the formal name while soccer is its nickname that was created by the English inorder to distinguish it from rugby football. Soccer became a shortened reference to the word assocation football. Therefore, Football's nickname soccer is often used to refer to football in countries where another form of football exist...

3-2, I'm depressed.  The comedic value of the USA beating Brazil would have been immense. |
